Military Affairs in Indiana
1861-65

The ante-war sentiment of the people of Indiana was decidedly peaceful. The second of the great commonwealths erected in the Northwest Territory, in which slavery was forbidden by the provisions of the Ordinance of 1787, the institution which gave rise to bitter sectional feeling and threatened a crisis in national affairs, was not permitted to exist within the confines of the state. Upon its organization and admission into the Union, the people of Indiana perfected a complete establishment of the principles of human freedom and consistently adhered to them throughout the turbulent decades that followed.

But the trend of events was such as to arouse grave fears in the minds of the patriotic and observing citizens, and notes of alarm were frequently sounded by leaders of thought and action. An item of significance in this connection is the following language in the message of Governor Ray to the legislature of 1828: "Since our last separation, while we have witnessed with anxious solicitude the belligerent operations of another hemisphere, the cross contending against the crescent, and the prospect of a general rupture among the legitimates of other quarters of the globe, our attention has been arrested by proceedings in our own country truly dangerous to liberty, seriously premeditated, and disgraceful to its authors if agitated only to tamper with the American people. If such experiments as we see attempted in certain deluded quarters do not fall with a burst of thunder upon the heads of their seditious projectors, then indeed the republic has begun to experience the days of its degeneracy. The Union of these states is the people's only sure chart for their liberties and independence. Dissolve it and each state will soon be in a condition as deplorable as Alexander's conquered countries after they were divided amongst his victorious military captains." But there never was any doubt that the people of the state, as a whole, favored the preservation of the Union at whatever cost. In pursuance of a joint resolution of the legislature of 1850, a block of native marble was procured and forwarded to Washington, to be placed in the monument then in the course of erection at the national capital in memory of the "Father of his Country." In the absence of any legislative instruction concerning the inscription upon this emblem of Indiana's loyalty, Governor Wright ordered the following words to be inscribed upon it: "Indiana Knows No North, No South, Nothing but the Union." And within a dozen years thereafter this noble state demonstrated to the world her loyalty to the Union and the principles of freedom by the sacrifice of blood and treasure which she made. In keeping with the sentiment expressed in the above inscription Governor Wright endorsed the compromise measures of Congress on the slavery question, remarking in his message that "Indiana takes her stand in the ranks, not of Southern destiny, nor yet of Northern destiny: she plants herself on the basis of the Constitution and takes her stand in the ranks of American destiny."

Always hoping for the maintenance of the Union through wise statesmanship and peaceful methods, the state had made no preparation in a military sense for the crucial moment, which was approaching with the certainty of inexorable fate. In 1852 an act was passed for the organization of the militia by Congressional districts, and in 1855 an act "Concerning the organization of voluntary associations" was passed, providing for the formation of military companies by filing articles of association in like manner as provided for organizing building, mining and manufacturing companies. But these laws were of no practical value, merely providing in a general way for the organization of the militia, without regulations sufficient to secure any successful result. Many commissions were issued, in most cases for the mere purpose of conferring honorary military titles upon the recipients, but with the exception of probably a dozen companies (most of which had but a brief existence) formed in various parts of the state in 1859-60, aggregating about 500 men, no organizations were formed. At the regular session of the legislature in 1861, Governor Lane in his inaugural message alluded to this subject in the following language:

"The importance of a well organized and thoroughly drilled militia, in the present critical condition of our national affairs, cannot be overestimated, and I will most heartily concur with you in any measure which you may devise for the purpose of giving greater efficiency to the present very defective militia laws of our state. A possible (I hope not a probable) contingency may arise during the present session of the legislature, which will make it necessary and proper for you to appropriate a sum sufficient to equip a portion of the Indiana militia for the purpose of aiding in the prompt execution of the laws, and in the maintenance of the government. If this contingency shall occur during your session, I doubt not that you will meet it in a spirit becoming freemen and patriots."

In compliance with the governor's suggestion, a bill for the organization of the militia with a new and more perfect system was introduced and passed the house of representatives, but failing to pass the senate, it did not become a law, the latter body apparently not realizing the perilous condition of national affairs and the necessity for action. The legislature, however, early in the session appointed commissioners to the Peace convention held at Washington in February, and a decided majority was in favor of the movement.

As an illustration of the totally unprepared condition of Indiana for war, there were perhaps less than 500 stands of effective first-class small arms in the state, besides 8 pieces of weather-worn and dismantled cannon and an unknown number of old flint-lock and altered-to-percussion muskets, the most of which were scattered throughout various counties in the hands of private individuals and members of disbanded companies of militia. Under an act of the legislature, passed March 5, 1861, Governor Morton (who had succeeded to that position upon the election of Governor Lane to the U. S. senate) took steps to secure the return of all arms that could be found, and many were thus secured to the state, but upon inspection they were ascertained to be useless except for "guard mounting" and drill practice about the camps. And in addition the report of the treasurer of 'state for the year 1861 shows that there was on hand, on February 11 of that year, only the sum of $10,368.58 in actual cash, made up principally of "trust funds," which could not be touched for general or military purposes.

About the middle of March, 1861, Governor Morton, in view of the impending struggle, visited Washington City to procure from the general government a supply of arms for state troops, and after much effort he succeeded in obtaining an order for 5,000 muskets. Before these were forwarded, however, actual hostilities were begun and Indiana was called upon to bear her part of the burdens of war incident to the defense of the nation and the suppression of the sectional uprising. With no militia force or system; almost destitute of arms and munitions; the public treasury depleted to absolute emptiness; the work of preparation for the vigorous performance of her part in the bloody drama was undertaken. The fall of Fort Sumter was a signal for the uprising of the state, and Indiana was among the first to respond to the summons of patriotism and register itself on the national roll of honor. The news of the calamity was flashed to Indianapolis on April 14, 1861, and early the next morning the electric wire brought the welcome message to Washington:

Executive Department of Indiana,

Indianapolis, April 15, 1861.

To Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States:—On behalf of the state of Indiana, I tender to you for the defense of the nation, and to uphold the authority of the government, 10,000 men.

 Oliver P. Morton,

Governor of Indiana.

This may be considered the first official act of Governor Morton, who had so recently entered upon the duties of his exalted position. The state was in an almost helpless condition, but the faith of the "war governor" was prophetic, when, after a short consultation with the members of the executive council, he relied on the fidelity of 10,000 men and promised their services to the protectorate at Washington. This is more apparent when the military condition of the state, as outlined above, is considered. The same day the president issued his proclamation calling forth the militia of the several states of the Union to the aggregate number of 75,000, in order to suppress the uprising and cause the laws to be duly executed. The quota of Indiana was subsequently fixed by the secretary of war at six regiments of infantry, or riflemen, comprising 4,683 officers and men, to serve for the period of three months, unless sooner discharged. On April 16, the governor issued a proclamation briefly reciting the acts of secession which had brought on the war, and calling upon the loyal and patriotic men of the state to the number of six regiments, to organize themselves into military companies and forthwith report the same to the adjutant-general in order that they might be speedily mustered into the service of the United States. Hon. Lewis Wallace, of Crawfordsville, who had served in the Mexican war, and had, as a legislator and citizen, taken a deep interest in military affairs, was appointed adjutant-general. Colonel Thomas A. Morris of Indianapolis, a graduate of the United States military academy and an eminent citizen, was appointed quartermaster-general, and Isaiah Mansur of Indianapolis, an experienced and prominent merchant, was appointed commissary-general. These appointments were made without solicitation, were in every way unexceptionable, and gave entire satisfaction to the people of the state. Indianapolis having been designated by the war department as the place of rendezvous for troops, the commodious fair grounds of the Indiana state board of agriculture, adjoining the city, were secured for that purpose and named "Camp Morton," in honor of the governor. Instructions were issued in general orders by the adjutant-general for the formation of companies; the several military departments were speedily organized for business, and all available measures taken to fill the quota with the least possible delay.

In the meantime, every class of community manifested the wildest enthusiasm and most intense excitement; public meetings to facilitate the formation of companies and to give expression to the sentiments of the people touching their duty in the pending crisis, were held in every city, town and neighborhood, and an ardent and unquenchable military spirit was at once aroused that bid fair to embrace in its sweep every able-bodied man in the state. The day after the call was made 500 men were in camp and the governor, apprehensive (as was the whole country at the time) that an effort would be made by the Confederates to take possession of the Federal capital, proposed to send forward half a regiment if required, although unable to furnish the necessary arms and equipments. Receiving no reply from the war department to this offer, it was renewed on the day following and the number was increased to 1,000 men. By April 19—three days after the call—there were 2,400 men in camp and arrivals continued by every train. So rapidly did volunteering proceed that in less than seven days more than 12,000 men, or nearly three times the quota required, had been tendered. Contests to secure the acceptance of companies were earnest and frequent, says W. H. H. Terrell in his official report, and the question was not "Who will go?" but "Who will be allowed to go?" Continuing, General Terrell says that in many cases companies came forward without orders, or rather in defiance of orders, in the hope that they could be received, or that a second call would at once be made; and frequently their enlistment rolls contained twice, and even thrice, the number of names required. Hundreds who were unable to get into companies at home, came singly and in squads to the general rendezvous on their own responsibility, and by combining with others in like condition or with fragments from companies having a surplus, formed new companies and joined in the general clamor for acceptance. The response was as gratifying as it was universal and left no doubt as to the entire and lasting devotion of Indiana to the fortunes of the Union. The flag was proudly displayed in every breeze from the highest peaks of churches, school houses and private dwellings. The presentation of a stand of national colors by patriotic ladies to each company was rarely omitted, and whenever practicable, brass bands were provided to escort them to the general camp.

"Throughout the state the people acted in the most liberal and patriotic manner, providing the men with blankets, underclothing and other necessary supplies which the authorities could not at the moment furnish. Families, suddenly deprived of husbands, fathers and brothers, upon whom they were dependent, were the recipients of all the assistance that abundant hands and free hearts could give. Several railroad companies operating in the state announced that they would carry all regularly enlisted volunteers free. Donations of money in munificent sums, were made by citizens and by the authorities of cities, towns and counties, to aid the cause in various ways, and a number of banks and many wealthy capitalists offered to advance large sums to the state until provision should be made by the legislature or the general government for equipping and providing for the troops. The eminent house of Winslow, Lanier & Co., of New York, long and honorably identified with the financial history of the state, tendered a loan of $25,000, without stipulations as to interest or the time when it should be repaid.

"The general government being unable to furnish clothing and equipments required by the large force so suddenly brought into service, the state was compelled, through the quartermaster-general, to become a purchaser of these supplies in open market at home. The duties of the commissary-general in subsisting the troops were equally as important and responsible. Indeed, every department connected with the service was taxed to the utmost; the duties were novel, and the officers assigned to discharge them inexperienced and unskilled; yet better supplies were not furnished at any subsequent period during the war, or at so cheap a rate."

On April 20, five days after the call, orders were issued for the organization of the regiments. Drs. John S. Bobbs and Alois D. Gall were appointed medical inspectors, and Major Thomas J. Wood, of the regular army, afterward a major-general, who had been specially detailed by the war department for the purpose, proceeded to muster the troops into the service of the United States. On the same day, the governor finding it impossible to restrain the tide of volunteers within the narrow limits of the three months' call, and being impressed with the necessity and importance to the general government as well as to the state, of immediately placing an overwhelming force in active service, tendered to the secretary of war six additional regiments, without conditions as to the term of service, with the assurance that if accepted, they would be organized in six days. Communication with Washington by telegraph being cut off, no response to this offer was received. On the 23d, in a despatch forwarded by special messenger, the tender was renewed, the governor at the same time expressing his determination to at once put the six additional regiments in camp and under discipline, and hold them subject, at least for a time, to the demand of the government. In every quarter, and especially in the counties bordering on the Ohio river, the most serious fears were entertained that the state would be invaded by Confederate bands, known to be organizing in Kentucky, the towns on the border plundered, and the country devastated. Every movement of the enemy indicated an early demonstration against the loyal people north of the Potomac and the Ohio. The determination of the governor to anticipate a second call of the president by organizing and holding in readiness a well disciplined force, was therefore received with much satisfaction, particularly by the volunteers who had tendered their services, and were impatiently awaiting at their homes orders to march. Public confidence was further encouraged by the prompt measures set on foot by the governor to procure through agents despatched to the eastern cities and to Canada, a supply of first-class arms for state use, and by the organization in many counties of companies of home guards, who were armed for the time being with squirrel-rifles and fowling-pieces gathered up in their respective neighborhoods.

The three-months' regiments were fully organized by the appointment of field and staff officers on April 27, and a thorough course of military training was immed1ately instituted. In the Mexican war the state had five regiments, numbered from the 1st to the 5th inclusive. To avoid historical confusion, therefore, the new regiments were numbered by beginning with the 6th, as follows: 6th regiment, Colonel Thomas T. Crittenden; 7th, Colonel Ebenezer Dumont; 8th, Colonel William P. Benton; 9th, Colonel Robert H. Milroy; 10th, Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds; nth, Colonel Lewis Wallace.

These regiments constituted the 1st brigade, Indiana volunteers, under the following brigade officers, appointed and commissioned by the governor: Thomas A. Morris, brigadier-general; John Love, major and brigade-inspector; Milo S. Hascall, captain and aid-de-camp. Subsequently Cyrus C. Hines was appointed captain and aid-de-camp, and John A. Stein, 1st lieutenant 1oth regiment, was detailed as acting assistant adjutant-general and added to the brigade staff. The regiments composing General Morris' command, after being well armed and thoroughly equipped by the state, were ordered to western Virginia, and sketches of their movements and services will be found in this work among the regimental histories.

To meet the extraordinary condition of affairs, the governor had issued a call on April 19 to the members of the legislature, requiring them to convene in special session on April 24. They met in a spirit of entire harmony and proceeded to the important duty of devising such measures as the critical state of the country seemed to demand. In his special message, after reviewing the history of the secession movement and the part already performed by the state in compliance with the president's call, the governor made the following recommendations:

"In view of all the facts, it becomes the imperative duty of Indiana to make suitable preparations for the contest by providing ample supplies of men and money to insure the protection of the state and general government in the prosecution of the war to a speedy and successful termination. I therefore recommend that $1,000,000 be appropriated for the purchase of arms and munitions of war, and for the organization of such portion of the militia as may be deemed necessary for the emergency; that a militia system be devised and enacted, looking chiefly to volunteers, which shall insure the greatest protection to the state and unity and efficiency of the force to be employed; that a law be enacted defining and punishing treason against the state; that a law be enacted suspending the collection of debts against those who may be actually employed in the military service of the state, or the United States; that suitable provision be made by the issue of bonds of the state, or otherwise, for raising the money herein recommended to be appropriated; and that all necessary and proper legislation be had to protect the business, property and citizens of the state, under the circumstances in which they are placed." The legislature promptly authorized a war loan of $2,000,000, to replenish the treasury, and made the following appropriations: For general military purposes, $1,000,000; for the purchase of arms, $500,000; for contingent military expenses,  $100,000; and for expenses of organizing and supporting the militia for two years, $140,000. The following laws were also passed: To organize the Indiana militia; to provide for the employment of six regiments of state troops; to provide for the appointment of a state paymaster; to authorize counties to appropriate monies for the protection and maintenance of the families of volunteers, for the purchase of arms and equipments, and for raising and maintaining military companies; and to provide for the punishment of persons guilty of giving material aid and comfort to the enemies of this state, or of the United States, in a time of war.

Upon the organization of the six regiments of three months' men, under the first call, so anxious and enthusiastic were the people to serve the country, there remained in excess at the general rendezvous, Camp Morton, twenty-nine companies; besides, sixty-eight companies had been raised in different parts of the state and tendered to the governor for active service; and many more companies would have been raised had the state authorities been able to give any assurance that they would be accepted. With a view, therefore, of meeting the wishes of the troops already enrolled, as well as to foster and encourage the exuberant spirit of loyalty and patriotism so generally and suddenly manifested by the people, and being fully satisfied that additional forces would soon be required and called for by the general government, the governor, on his own responsibility and under the power vested in him as the commander-in-chief of the militia, determined to organize five regiments of twelve months volunteers for the defense of the state, or for general use as the future might require, the regiments to be composed of the first fifty companies already raised and tendered. Instructions were also given to discharge from camp immediately all volunteers enlisted under the first call who were unwilling to enter the service of the state for one year.

On May 6, the organization of companies sufficient for five regiments being about completed, the legislature passed an act authorizing and requiring the governor to call into the service of the state six regiments of volunteer militia, to be composed of the companies that had been previously organized and reported to the adjutant-general, and which had not been mustered into the service of the United States, the same to be received and mustered into the service of the state in the order in which they were organized and tendered, providing, that if the companies so organized and tendered were not sufficient to complete the regiments, preference in the formation of the remaining companies should be given to counties which were not already represented by companies in the state or United States service. The act also contained the following provisions: The term of service to be twelve months; the regiments to be divided into cavalry, artillery and infantry, as the public service might demand, with the usual officers; the troops to be subject to the order of the governor with power to transfer them to fill any future requisition made for forces on the state by the president of the United States; the regiments to constitute a brigade, the governor to appoint and commission a brigadier-general for the same; the articles of war and the rules and regulations of the United States army to be observed, except that while in the service of the state the commissioned officers should only receive three-fourths the pay of officers of the same grade in the United States army; the governor to have power, if in his judgment deemed advisable, to temporarily retire the force, or any part thereof, on half pay from active service, after they should have been sufficiently drilled and disciplined, with authority at any time to recall the regiments to active duty when required for the public safety. The act was approved and put in force on May 7, and orders for the organization of the regiments were immediately issued. The regiments were designated and camps of rendezvous established as follows: 12th, Camp Morton, Indianapolis; 13th, Camp Sullivan, Indianapolis; 14th, Camp Vigo, Terre Haute; 15th, Camp Tippecanoe, Lafayette; 16th, Camp Wayne, Richmond; 17th, Camp Morton, Indianapolis. Colonel Joseph J. Reynolds, of the 10th regiment, then in command of Camp Morton, was appointed brigadier-general by the governor and charged with the organization of the regiments. On May 7, the adjutant-general reported five regiments as having the full complement of men: the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th, with a surplus of six companies in camp from which, with new enlistments, the 17th was subsequently formed.

The president in the meantime had called for an additional volunteer force and requisition was made on the state by the secretary of war, under date of May 16, for four regiments of volunteers to serve for three years or during the war. This call afforded the governor the opportunity to relieve the state of a portion of the burden incident to maintaining the six regiments which were nearly ready for the field, and accordingly on May 21 orders were issued transferring three of the regiments formed for state service to the United States' service, and authorizing the organization of an additional regiment out of the companies in Camp Morton, not mustered into any service, and from such other companies as had been tendered, in their order, leaving two regiments in the service of the state.

The question of enlisting for three years was at once submitted to the state regiments. The 13th, 14th, 15th and 17th promptly accepted the proposition, except a few hundred who decl1ned and were at once discharged. These regiments were mustered into the United States' service and marched for western Virginia, where they were brigaded together and placed under command of General Reynolds, who was commissioned brigadier-general. The 12th and 16th regiments remained in the state service until July 18, when the governor procured an order from the president accepting them into the service of the United States for the unexpired portion of their twelve months' enlistment, with the agreement that the general government should assume all expenses and charges paid by the state on their account. The 12th was stationed at Evansville, the 16th at Richmond, at which points they were formally transferred to the United States on July 23, and immediately left for the Potomac, joining the forces under General Banks, at Pleasant Valley, Maryland.

Previous to the return of the three months troops from the Virginia campaign, Governor Morton despatched messengers to all the regimental commanders with letters urging them to reenlist, after remaining a reasonable time at their homes, for three years. The regiments returned the latter part of July, and after the men were paid and mustered out, arrangements were made to reorganize them with the least possible delay. This was accomplished in a very short time under the auspices and direction of their former colonels. Other calls had in the meantime been made and were in progress of being filled.

As renewed calls for troops were made, Indiana responded with a promptness and patriotism unsurpassed by any state in the Union. She sent into the field considerably more than her quota, and they were admirably equipped and provided, and in the severe battles in which they were engaged exhibited the most undaunted and persistent bravery. In the war with Mexico one of the Indiana regiments became panic-stricken at Buena Vista and its flight had brought a reproach upon the reputation of the state for courage. It was the especial desire of the soldiers of the Indiana regiments to efface this stain, and more than one regiment, on being sworn into the service, took a solemn oath to "remember Buena Vista," an oath they sacredly kept, for whenever they were engaged in battle they were eager to advance, steady in the fight, and utterly averse to retreating. The forces raised in the state and sent into the field before January 1, 1862, were, in round numbers, about 60,000. Of these, 53,500 were infantry, 4,500 cavalry, and about 2,000 artillery. They were, perhaps, more widely scattered through the different corps d'armee than those of any other state. They were with General McClellan and his successors in western Virginia; fought at Bull Run; garrisoned the forts at Hatteras Inlet and were plundered of their clothing and supplies by the Confederates; participated in the victories of General Lyon and in the masterly retreat of Sigel; defended Lexington under Mulligan; formed a part of Fremont's army which went in pursuit of General Price; were in every considerable action in Missouri, most of those on the Potomac, and during the early part of 1862, were in the actions of Mill Springs, Roanoke island, Fort Donelson, Pea Ridge, Shiloh, and at the capture of Island No. 10.

The Indiana legislature, at its special session in 1861, passed a law for the organization of the militia, which greatly facilitated the subsequent supplying of troops on the demand of the government. Some features of this law are worthy of notice. The militia were divided into two classes, sedentary and active. The sedentary militia comprised all white male persons liable to bear arms under the state constitution, except those enrolled in the active militia. The active militia, styled also the Indiana Legion, consisted of all such able-bodied white male citizens of the state between the ages of 18 and 45, as should enroll themselves and take the oath of allegiance to the United States and the state of Indiana. These persons were required to provide themselves with a uniform, but the state furnished them with arms, equipments, ammunition, etc., paid the expenses of company and regimental drills, and when called into active service, either in behalf of the state or the general government, they were to receive the same pay as corresponding grades in the United States army. They were required to parade four times a year, and to have in addition not less than twelve company drills in the course of the year. The uniforms and equipments being similar to those of the United States troops, the members of the companies, on being accepted into the United States service, received from the government compensation for the cost of their uniforms. Under this act large numbers enrolled themselves in the active militia, and from the regiments thus enrolled it was comparatively easy to supply, as they were needed, the troops required by the general government.

The military spirit manifested by the people of Indiana, and the alacrity with which they took up arms at the beginning of the war, were abated but little during 1862. Upon the first call of the president for 300,000 men, the governor immediately issued an address to the citizens, in which he said: "Again I call upon the loyal and patriotic men of Indiana to come forward and supply the quota due from our state. Up to this hour Indiana occupies a most exalted position connected with the war. Her troops have been in almost every battle and have behaved with uniform and distinguished gallantry. Never before has the state held so proud a place in the opinion of the world, and it should be the prayer and effort of every loyal citizen that she may not now falter and that nothing may hereafter occur to detract from her well-earned honors. But while we are justly proud of the high rank to which Indiana has attained, we should never forget that our allegiance and highest duty are due to the nation, of which Indiana is but a part. That in struggling for our national government, we are contending for our national existence, honor, and all that is dear to freemen, and that in this struggle we must succeed at whatever cost. That it is the duty of every state to furnish promptly her full proportion of the military force called for by the president, and that in doing so she has no right to dictate the terms of his military policy, or prescribe conditions precedent upon which such force shall be furnished. To do so would be to recognize the odious doctrine of State Rights, as it has been taught by rebel politicians for many years, and which is but another name for secession and the cause of all our woe."

Liberal bounties were offered and volunteers accumulated rapidly. The second call for 300,000 men on September 24, for nine months, offered some special attractions which induced many to enlist who otherwise would not have entered the service under the first. The term of service in the first instance was for three years or the war; in the second it was only for nine months. The bounties in many places were alike for each. Consequently it became necessary to resort to the militia draft, which created considerable dissatisfaction. The call for troops had come at an inopportune time. The Federal armies had in some degree lost their prestige. They had not only been defeated but outgeneraled, which humiliated and discouraged the troops in the field, and materially detracted from that enthusiasm which was so needful to encourage recruiting at home. Then, the season of the year was unfavorable, the farmers being employed in harvesting and everybody busily engaged. Still the governor went promptly and energetically to work. Camps were formed, commandants appointed, recruiting lieutenants commissioned, and the whole machinery put in motion. The results at first were not encouraging, though under the first call thirty-one and one-half regiments of infantry, two of cavalry and two batteries were raised. The whole number of troops mustered into service from the state up to the close of the year was 102,700, of whom 3,003 were drafted men. And the expenditure of the state for war purposes was $1,979,248.

The first call in 1863 was in June, for six months' regiments of militia. Four regiments were raised in Indiana and sent to East Tennessee. Then came the call of October 17, 1863, for 300,000 men, followed in February and March, 1864, by calls aggregating 400,000 more. The quotas assigned to Indiana under these calls were all filled without resorting to a draft. The "Hundred Days' Movement" followed, and then came the call of July 18, 1864, for 500,000 men, followed in December by another call, the last of the war, for 300,000. These latter calls were filled partially by draft, but mainly by volunteers. Before the last call was filled, however, the Confederate armies were suddenly and completely overthrown and recruiting was discontinued. It will be seen that Indiana filled all calls promptly, no deficiencies being left to be filled on subsequent calls, the excess after the calls had been filled varying from 2,000 to 30,000. There was no lagging, no hesitancy. Though the quotas were often deemed excessive and unjust, they were always filled and the demands of the general government were not cancelled by naval credits, men enlisted in the seceding states, or by other substitutions. The contribution of men from the state of Indiana to the military service of the United States from the beginning of the war to January 1, 1865, after which date no further calls were made, was as follows, according to the official report of the adjutant-general: Commissioned officers at original organization, 6,293; non-commissioned officers and musicians at original organization, 1,112; enlisted men, privates, at original organization, 137,401; recruits, privates, 35,836; unassigned recruits, regular army, etc., 16,007; total, 196,649; re-enlisted veterans, n,718; grand total, 208,367. Of these, 24,418 were killed or died of disease, 10,846 deserted, and 13,779 were unaccounted for. During the war the following numbers of organizations were raised in the state and mustered into the service of the United States for various periods: Cavalry—for three years' service and over, 3 regiments; for three years' service, 10 regiments; for one year's service, 1 company; total, 13 regiments and 1 company. Heavy artillery—for three years' service and over, 1 regiment. Light artillery—for three years' service and over, n batteries; for three years' service, 14 batteries; for one year's service, 1 battery; total, 26 batteries. Infantry—for three years' service and over, 40 regiments; for three years' service, 42 regiments; for three years' service, 1 regiment colored troops; for one year's service, 18 regiments and 5 companies; for six months' service, 4 regiments; for one hundred days' service, 8 regiments; for three months' service, 8 regiments; for sixty days' service, 6 companies; for thirty days' service, 2 regiments and 5 companies; total, 123 regiments and 16 companies. Grand total—137 regiments, 17 companies and 26 batteries.

The duty of appointing field, staff and line officers for the volunteer force under the three months' call and the calls which resulted in the formation of a number of regiments for one and three years, prior to July 22, 1861, devolved upon the governor, under orders of the president and the laws of the United States regulating the militia. On the above date an act was passed by Congress, "to authorize the employment of volunteers to aid in enforcing the laws and protecting public property," which expressly conferred upon the governors of states power to commission all regimental and company officers required for the volunteers raised in their respective states, wh1ch power was continued until the close of the war. When the vast interests at stake in the organization of the volunteer army are considered, involving the life and honor of the nation, the welfare and good fame of the state furnishing the troops, and the individual well-being of the volunteers themselves, the importance and responsibility connected with the exercise of the appointing power will be seen to have been very great. Touching this matter, Governor Morton, in his annual message of 1865, said: "The duty of appointing officers to command our regiments is full of responsibility and embarrassment. I have commissioned many whom I did not know, and for whose fitness I was compelled to rely entirely upon the opinion of others. But it affords me gratification to state that the Indiana officers, as a body, have been equal to those of any other state; that they have, upon every battle field, sustained the great cause and shed lustre upon the flag under which they fought. Many have been appointed to high commands, in which they have acquitted themselves with the greatest honor and ability, and very many have nobly laid down their lives in battle for their country."

In the organization of the forces, the governor from the commencement recognized the justice of giving due consideration to the preference of the men when expressed either by election or petition, yet he never yielded his right or duty to make different selections if, in his own judgment, the public interests should be benefited thereby. The following statistics in this connection will be interesting: The whole number of commissions issued during the war by Governor Morton was 18,884. Of these, 6,243 were original appointments made upon the organization of regiments and batteries for the volunteer service, 9,187 were promotions to fill vacancies in the same service, 3,159 were appointments in the Indiana Legion, and 295 were appointments of officers of the draft of 1862.

When the determination was first announced by the government to organize colored troops, the state of public feeling in the West was not altogether favorable to the employment of that class of persons as soldiers. A number of officers in Indiana regiments had already resigned on account of their hostility to the president's proclamation of freedom to the enslaved, and the prejudices of years against the colored man were revived and inflamed. The Indiana troops, however, stood fast and evinced in the strongest form their desire to put down the insurrection with the assistance of any means consistent with civilized warfare; public opinion rapidly strengthened on the negro question, and it was not long until all material opposition to the employment of colored troops was narrowed down to those who doggedly and determinedly maintained their hostility to the various war measures. Referring to the Emancipation Proclamation, Governor Morton, in his annual message in January, 1863, used the following language:

"The president has issued his proclamation, offering freedom to slaves held in certain of the rebellious states. It remains to be seen what effect this proclamation will have in suppressing the rebellion, but whether it be effectual or not, for the purpose for which it was intended, the authority upon which it was issued is beyond question.

"If the rebels do not desire the government of the United States to interfere with their slaves, let them cease to employ them in the prosecution of the war. They should not use them to build fortifications, manage their baggage trains, perform all the labor of the camp and the march, and above all, to raise provisions upon which to subsist their armies. If they employ the institution of slavery as an instrument of war, like other instruments of war, it is subject to destruction. Deprive them of slave labor, and three-fourths of the men composing their armies would be compelled to return home to raise food upon which to subsist themselves and families. If they are permitted to retain slave labor, they are enabled to maintain their armies in great force and to destroy that force we are compelled to shed much of our best blood. Let us not be more tender of their property than we are of our blood."

These sentiments were generally re-echoed by the people of the state who favored a vigorous prosecution of the war, but no effort was made to raise colored troops to be credited upon the quotas until November 30, 1863, when, in reply to an application, the war department authorized the governor to raise a'» battalion or regiment under the regulations governing the colored branch of the service. He had requested this authority, not so much because the colored citizens were anxious to enter the service, as for the reason that the state had been and was overrun with recruiting agents representing other states, and he had found it necessary, to prevent the men from being enticed away and credited elsewhere, to issue an order, warning all persons so engaged to desist from procuring substitutes or further enlistments, under penalty of being arrested and summarily punished. Orders for recruiting the colored regiment or battalion were promulgated on December 3, and a camp of rendezvous established at Indianapolis, with William P. Fishback as commandant. Six companies were raised aggregating 518 enlisted men. The battalion was afterward recruited up to a full regiment in Maryland, and was known as the 28th U. S. colored. Under the calls of July and December, 1864, a number of colored substitutes were furnished by drafted men in the state, and forwarded to colored regiments in the field. The total number of colored men enlisted in the state is reported by the provost-marshal general at 1,537. though probably not over 800 were credited upon Indiana's quotas—the remainder having been recruited by other states as before explained.

The spring of 1864 opened with the prospect of much desperate and bloody work before the armies of the East and South. It was urgently stated by Gens. Grant and Sherman that every able-bodied soldier was imperatively needed. The grand Atlanta and Richmond campaigns were about to be commenced, and such general measures taken as were believed would result in the overthrow of the rebellion. With well-grounded confidence Indiana was relied upon and expected to put into play all her energies to make the army crushingly powerful. The calls of February and March, requiring over 37,000 men, had been filled in an almost incredible short time, and the troops were hurried forward as rapidly as the means of the government would admit. The 12,000 reenlisted veterans, who had been granted a furlough of 30 days to their homes, were promptly returned to their places at the front and vigorous and successful efforts were made to fill the ranks of all the old organizations. General Sherman, at this period, took care to impress upon Governor Morton the importance of having every man that could be raised, forwarded to his command with the least possible delay. On April 6 he telegraphed: "The season is advancing and no excuse can be entertained, such as waiting for more recruits. Three hundred men in time are better than a thousand too late. Now is the time every soldier should be in his proper place—the front."

Again on the 23d, he telegraphed: "The force of 10,000 I sent up Red river was intended to form a part of my force for the spring campaign, but Banks can not spare them and I will be short that number. We can not mount half the cavalry already in the service. If the new cavalry regiments will not serve as infantry, I see no prospect of using them except as dismounted cavalry, which is the same thing. I tell you that it is impossible to arm and equip them this season, and even then we could not find horses where we are going. Why not let me use them to guard my roads and relieve other guard troops to that extent? They would be none the worse cavalry for a few months' service with muskets. I can put them in reserve where drill and instruction could go on quite as well as where they now are, and I can arm them as infantry. When horses and equipments come they can be mounted and equipped, and relieved as soon as furloughed regiments arrive, or as soon as A. J. Smith's command comes out of Red river."

The governor concurred fully with these views and several of the new cavalry regiments were at once sent forward as infantry. This unexpected necessity was a great disappointment of course, but the men bore it cheerfully when assurance was given them that their horses and carbines would speedily follow. General Sherman was much pleased with the uncomplaining disposition of the troops and on May 3 sent this telegram to the governor: "I am well satisfied at the despatch given to the new cavalry regiments and will do all in my power to make them an honor to your state. I wish you would use your personal influence to content them with the fact, that all cavalry regiments shall undergo preliminary instruction in infantry practice, before being entrusted with horses. The immense waste of fine cavalry horses in the past two years is proof of this."

Yet, notwithstanding the gigantic efforts that were made, it had been for some time clearly apparent to Governor Morton that enough men to make a splendid army would be compelled to remain guarding railroads, depots of public stores and fortifications in the rear of the advancing armies—and it was further evident that if these men, who were trained soldiers, could be relieved of guard duty and placed in the advance the chances of success would be greatly increased. How this great desideratum could be brought about was then an important and perhaps a vital question. The quotas having been filled, recruiting for the three years' service lapsed into insignificance and it appeared almost impossible to increase the army to the standard required for the mighty operations contemplated in the plans for the campaign.

In this crisis Governors Morton and Brough met at Indianapolis and devised a plan, which afterward ripened into the "one hundred days' movement," whereby it was hoped the troops then engaged as rear-guards could be relieved and sent forward for the more important work of fighting the enemy. Accordingly, on April u, a telegram was sent to the governors of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan, inviting them to meet the governors of Ohio and Indiana at Indianapolis in consultation on important public business, on the 22d. The meeting was held, Governors Yates of Illinois, Stone of Iowa, Brough of Ohio, Lewis of Wisconsin and Morton of Indiana being present. After full discussion, the general features of the plan were agreed upon and the governors immediately proceeded to Washington to urge its adoption by the president. As soon as the acceptance of the proposition had been decided, the fact was communicated to headquarters at Indianapolis and preparations were made for raising Indiana's quota as soon as possible. Her quota as agreed upon was 20,000 men, and that it was not raised entire requires a word of explanation, which is thus given by Adjt.-General W. H. H. Terrell: "The attempt was made at the busiest time of the spring season, just after the heavy calls of February and March had been filled, which the people, who had been so largely drawn on before, confidently believed would be the last. No fears of a draft were entertained, and most of the arms-bearing laboring men of the state had entered into engagements with farmers for the season. The militia, what there was of it, was organized on the volunteer system for the protection of the border, with the express understanding that it was not to be called into service except for home defense. The militia law gave the governor no power to compel service, or to send the troops beyond the limits of the state; this force, therefore, as a body, was not available, though many volunteers were obtained from it for the call. In Ohio the case was different, and her quota was entirely and immediately filled by simply transferring the required number from the national guard to the United States' service. Indiana's quota could only be filled by volunteers, and with the most energetic efforts the authorities were able to make, only eight regiments, aggregating 7,415 men, could be raised. In Illinois the case was about the same, and for similar reasons her quota was not filled by nearly one-half. Iowa furnished over 2,000 and Michigan nearly 4,000."

The Indiana hundred-days' men served their term in Tennessee and Alabama, and by relieving older and more experienced troops from the duty of guarding General Sherman's communications, supply depots, etc., greatly strengthened his army and assured its success in the arduous and stubbornly contested struggle against Atlanta. The regiments were well officered, were composed of the best material, and by faithful service reflected credit upon themselves and the state. So highly did the government value their services, the President issued to each man a certificate of thanks.

A matter that caused considerable dissatisfaction during the progress of the war was the unpopular "bounty" system. Under the law any person after being drafted might still be relieved from service by furnishing a substitute or the payment of $300 commutation. This provision was manifestly unjust, and although it furnished a large "draft arid substitute fund," as it was called, with which the provost-marshal's bureau was enabled to maintain an extensive establishment and pay large bounties and premiums, the effect of the commutation clause of the law was bad and it may well be doubted whether its benefits were not overshadowed by its evils. The crowning argument at the time, among the people was, "a poor man who has not $300 must go to the wars; a rich man, who can pay $300, or who can hire a substitute, need not go." Much of the opposition and not a little of the bitterness manifested against the war policy of the government may doubtless be attributed to the unequal bearing upon the people of this commutation clause. The money thus obtained was intended to apply in the procuration of substitutes by the government, and large bounties were at once offered for volunteers. It was soon demonstrated that the practical effect of this provision was to make an unfair distribution of the burdens of the war. But few substitutes were thus obtained, for, while each call for troops brought a large sum into the treasury, but few men were placed in the army. People who thought the draft was intended to procure men, while other means were provided for raising money, were greatly dissatisfied. Besides, many wealthy communities purchased entire exemption by paying the money value of their quotas in advance of the draft and made no effort to procure men. Governor Morton, after witnessing the baneful effects of the "three-hundred-dollar" system, and the demoralization wrought by it in the minds of the people everywhere, protested to the president and secretary of war against it in the most earnest and emphatic manner. On March 6, 1863, he wrote as follows: "Public feeling has greatly improved in the West within the last six weeks, but I fear the improvement is likely to receive a disastrous check from the construction given to the 13th section of the conscription act, which permits a drafted man to relieve himself from the draft by the payment of $300. By this construction every man who can beg or borrow $300 can exempt himself from the draft, and it will fall only upon those who are too poor to raise that sum. I can assure you that this feature in the bill is creating much excitement and ill-feeling towards the government among the poorer classes generally, without regard to party, and may, if it is not subdued, lead to a popular storm, under cover of which the execution of the conscription act may be greatly hindered, or even defeated, in some portions of the country.

"Under this construction, I am satisfied that the draft will not put into the ranks any person who is not working with the Union party; already movements are on foot in the secret societies of Indiana and among the leaders of the disloyalists, to raise money to purchase the exemption of every anti-war man who may be drafted, who can not raise the money himself; and already the boast is made that the government shall not have one more of their men for the prosecution of this war.

"The matter seems to me of so much importance that I have procured Colonel Rose, the marshal of the state, who is the bearer of this letter, to visit you, and who can more fully inform you of the views and apprehensions entertained here. From a careful reading of the section, I am of the opinion that a construction can be given to it, without violence, by which it is left discretionary with the secretary of war to determine whether he will accept of any sum in discharge of the drafted man, and that he may legitimately determine that he will not.

"In my judgment, it is of the first importance that this construction, if possible, be immediately given to the act, and published to the world, before a current of feeling shall have set in against the government. In Indiana, substitutes can not be procured for $300 in any number, if at all, and the rule should be that every drafted man should be required to serve unless he shall actually produce his substitute. I pray you to give this subject your immediate consideration."

The commutation system was retained for the time being, but so greatly and justly was it complained of that it was repealed except as to the conscientious exempts, on July 4, 1864, up to which time no draft under the conscription act had taken place in Indiana. Of the 208,367 men furnished in Indiana, however, only 17,903 were drafted, and of these over 3,000 were drafted in 1862, when the state actually had a surplus to her credit. The drafted men of 1864 were assigned to veteran regiments, from 100 to 500 going to each, and they performed good service, many of them being with General Sherman in his great campaign through Georgia and the Carolinas, and others materially assisted General Thomas in the operations which resulted in the destruction of the Confederate army under Hood in Middle Tennessee. The same remark also applies to the men raised under the last call, with the exception of some 600 drafted men, who were discharged at Indianapolis after the surrender of Lee—their services not being needed. Besides the great service thus rendered, the depleted ranks of the heroic regiments which had been thinned by the campaigns of more than three years, were filled, and many officers who were denied muster in the grades to which they had been promoted—because of the havoc made in their commands by bullets and disease, whereby they were reduced below the minimum strength— now received their hard-earned and well-deserved advancement.

In addition to performing their whole duty in the way of furnishing men for the United States' army, the citizens of Indiana were compelled to be constantly on the alert and in a measure prepared to resist invasions of the state and depredations by Confederate bands. And upon several occasions the "home guards" were given a taste of warfare. The first invasion of the state, or indeed of any of the free states, by an armed and organized force of Confederates, occurred on July 18, 1862, at Newburg, the principal town of Warrick county, situate on the Ohio river 15 miles above Evansville. The movement was hardly of a sufficiently formidable character to entitle it to the dignity of an "invasion," as the force consisted of but 32 officers and men, whose object was plunder and whose conduct was that of thieves rather than soldiers. The leader of these marauders was one Adam R. Johnson, a citizen of Henderson, Kentucky, who had previously served in the Confederate army, and who was at this time in command of a small force of mounted men, some of whom were deserters from the Federal army, raiding through the southwestern counties of Kentucky, committing outrages upon the persons and depredations upon the property of such citizens as were suspected of sympathy with the government of the United States. Although Newburg was not a military post, a hospital had been established there which contained 80 or 90 sick and wounded Federal soldiers, with a considerable amount of commissary and hospital stores. The muskets, accouterments and ammunition of the two Newburg companies of the Legion, which had been collected in some months previously, were also deposited in the hospital building, while in a warehouse not far distant 75 sabres and 130 holsters and pistols were stored in the boxes in which they had been shipped. At noon on the date given above, when most of the citizens were at dinner, Johnson appeared on the bank of the river opposite Newburg, placed his men on a large ferry-boat, concealed them as well as possible, and rowed rapidly to the Indiana shore. As soon as the boat touched the landing a dash was made for the hospital and the warehouse, and the supplies and arms stored therein were at once secured. Houses were then broken open and ransacked, horses were taken from the stables, and coffee, sugar and other articles, that could readily be transported, were stolen in large quantities. After remaining four or five hours, during which time the boat was kept busy in transporting their plunder, the commander ordered his men to embark and they were speedily transferred to the other shore. After their departure, two men, H. H. Carney and Elliott Mefford, who had been suspected of holding communication with the Confederates, and who, on this occasion, had been particularly officious in pointing out property for seizure, were attacked and killed by some of the citizens.

When Cincinnati was endangered in September, 1862, and Kirby Smith was advancing toward Covington, Major-General Wright, commanding the department, appealed to Governor Morton for troops to aid in the defense of the city, which was believed to be in imminent peril. The 85th and 86th regiments were sent forward, 24 pieces of artillery, 3,000 stands of arms, 31,136 rounds of artillery ammunition and 3,365,000 musket cartridges were forwarded from the state arsenal by special train and were delivered at Cincinnati and Covington within fifteen hours from the receipt of the requisition. Governor Morton and his military staff, with a number of officers, among whom were Major-General Lewis Wallace, Gens. Thomas A. Morris, Ebenezer Dumont and John Love, and Major W. W. Frybarger, proceeded to Cincinnati to assist in organizing the troops and in other defensive arrangements. General Wallace was assigned to the command of the defenses and the experience of the other officers rendered their services peculiarly valuable at so critical a period.

On June 17, 1863, a company of Kentucky cavalry, under Captain Thomas H. Hines, with the assistance of some wood boats obtained from his friends, crossed into Indiana 18 miles above Cannelton with 62 men, the particular object being to pick up as many fresh horses as might conveniently be found. After making arrangements with his ferrymen to meet him in about three days at a convenient point, he pressed into the interior, in the direction of Paoli, Orange county, taking the precaution to protect his flanks as completely as the limited extent of his force would allow, by scouts judiciously thrown out. But before they reached Paoli, preparations had been made to receive them, learning which they made a sudden detour to the west, and passed around the place, taking horses as they went, to a point about 7 miles northeast, where they encountered a force of 15 armed citizens, whom they captured and plundered. Two more citizens arriving a few moments later, they were ordered to surrender, and upon refusing, one was knocked off his horse and disabled, the other being shot and mortally wounded while trying to escape. While these events were transpiring, the men of the Legion and such of the citizens as could immediately be armed, made rapid preparations for pursuit. Sixty armed minute-men from Paoli, joined by a number from Valeene and the neighboring settlements, and a mounted battalion of the Legion from Leavenworth, under Majors Horatio Woodbury and Robert E. Clendenin, moved promptly on the Confederate trail. They followed it through Hard1nsburg to near Fredericksburg, in the southwestern part of Washington county, where, learning that the enemy was hastening toward the Ohio, they pressed forward with all possible speed. In due time Hines was "cornered" on Blue River island, about 3 miles above Leavenworth, where the channel on the Indiana side is shallow and easily fordable in low water, with a deep and swift current between the island and the southern shore. While huddled together on this island the Confederates were fired upon by the men in Major Clendenin's command, and after ineffectually discharging some shots in return, as a last resort they attempted to swim to the Kentucky bank. Captain Hines and two of his men were the only ones who escaped, 3 men being killed, 3 wounded and 2 drowned, according to one report; according to another 4 men were killed outright and 4 more wounded and drowned. One captain, 1 lieutenant and 50 men surrendered as prisoners of war and were sent to Louisville upon the order of General Boyle. Five horses were lost in the attempt to cross the river, but the remainder were captured and those which had been taken from citizens were returned, while the arms and other property were duly turned over to the government authorities. Considerable property was taken by the Confederates at Valeene, Hardinsburg, King's Mills, and at farm-houses along their route.

The invasion of Indiana in the summer of 1863 by a division of Confederate troops, under command of General John H. Morgan, must always be regarded as the most prominent feature of Indiana history during the Civil war period. While the "raid" was a failure and a mistake on the part of the daring Confederate leader, it occasioned the people of the state much inconvenience and created an intense excitement. Brandenburg is a small town situated on a high bluff on the Kentucky shore about 50 miles below Louisville, and it was at this point that Morgan and his men crossed the river and first set foot upon Indiana soil on the evening of July 8. During the night they marched toward Corydon and reached that place the next forenoon, some opposition being made to their progress by the inhabitants. Great excitement prevailed in the state and the receipt of the first official information of the invasion was immediately made the occasion for the publication of a general order, dated at the Executive department, July 9, announcing the presence of a considerable Confederate force in the state and ordering that all able-bodied white male citizens in the several counties south of the National road should forthwith form themselves into companies of at least 60 persons, elect officers and equip themselves with such arms as they could procure. The companies thus formed were required to perfect themselves in military drill as rapidly as possible and hold themselves subject to further orders from the governor. They were requested to be mounted, in all cases, if possible. Citizens in other parts of the state were earnestly requested to form military companies, and be ready for service when called for. Prompt reports by telegraph of the formation of companies were desired. Officers of the Indiana Legion were charged with the execution of the order and the United States officers were requested to render such assistance as they were able. The response of the people was no less prompt and enthusiastic. While the authorities were busy with preparations, men were gathering in such numbers as never could have been anticipated, not only along the track of the Confederate march, but all over the state. In less than 24 hours after the despatch was sent out soliciting individual cooperation in bringing out troops, the gentlemen addressed reported an aggregate of 5,000 men for service, while outside of their efforts 10,000 more had been gathered and were on the way to the capital. Within two days 20,000 men had been actually mustered at Indianapolis and the authorities had notice of the organization and readiness for service of 45,000 more. "Farmers left their grain to rot in the fields, mechanics dropped their tools, merchants abandoned their stores, professional men their desks, clerks forgot their ledgers, and students their text-books, and young and old alike all swarmed in constantly thickening throngs to the capital, or the nearest place of rendezvous, as if there were no duty or interest of that hour but the safety of the state." Railway trains were rushing to Indianapolis every hour, crowded inside and outside with shouting masses, and the country roads were cloudy with dust raised by the tread of companies hurrying from every school district and neighborhood.

And then operations against the invading enemy began. From Cory don General Morgan moved by the way of Greenville and Palmyra to Salem, having, before starting from the former place, defeated and captured a force of 350 home guards who had concentrated there, but they were subsequently paroled. At Salem, the depot of the Louisville & Chicago railroad was burned. Orders were also issued by General Morgan to burn all the mills and factories in the town, but upon the payment of $1,000 for each mill and factory they were spared. The railroad track was torn up, the water tank near the town and one passenger and three freight cars were burned. All the stores and most of the dwellings were plundered, and in fact such a scene of pillage was never before witnessed in the state. General Basil Duke, the historian of Morgan's cavalry, gives this graphic description of it: "This disposition to wholesale plunder exceeded anything that any of us had ever seen before. The great cause for apprehension which our situation might have inspired seemed only to make the men reckless. Calico was the staple article of appropriation. Each man who could get one, tied a bolt of it to his saddle, only to throw it away and get a fresh one at the first opportunity. They did not pillage with any sort of method or reason. It seemed to be a mania, senseless and purposeless. One man carried a birdcage, with three canaries in it, two days. Another rode with a chafing-dish, which looked like a small metallic coffin, on the pommel of his saddle, until an officer forced him to throw it away. Although the weather was intensely warm, another, still, slung seven pairs of skates around his neck, and chuckled over his acquisition! They pillaged like boys robbing an orchard. I would not have believed that such a passion could have been developed so ludicrously among any body of civilized men."

Three bridges between Salem and Farrabee's station were also destroyed. Good horses were taken wherever found, and the whole command was remounted. From Salem the enemy moved to Canton, in Washington county, four and a half miles distant. Here over 100 horses were taken, and, joining his left column with the right, which entered the town by way of Harristown, General Morgan moved in the direction of Vienna, Scott county, on the line of the Jeffersonville & Indianapolis railroad. About n p. m. on Friday night the advance reached Vienna, and at 2 o'clock the next morning the rear-guard arrived. Here a railroad bridge, the* depot and station house were burned. Private property for the first time was here respected. At Vienna, the force of the enemy was divided into two columns, one of which marched north and the other started in the direction of Madison. The advance of the column marching north appeared before Old Vernon, Jennings county, at 6 p. m. on Saturday, July n. The place was held by a force under General Love. A surrender was demanded by General Morgan and refused. A half-hour was then given for the removal of women and children, at the expiration of which time the Federal force moved out to meet the enemy, but found that he had retired. Pursuit was made and a number captured. From Vernon Morgan's men moved southward, tore up the track of the Madison & Indianapolis railroad and cut the telegraph wires. They also destroyed a portion of the Ohio & Mississippi railroad west of Vernon. Thence they moved eastward and reached Versailles at 1 p. m. on Sunday. A party of 63 advanced to Osgood and burned the bridge on the Ohio & Mississippi railroad. The enemy now moved in several parties. A large body encamped 10 miles northwest of Aurora on Sunday night, and proceeded thence to Harrison, on the state line between Indiana and Ohio. Another portion crossed the Indianapolis & Cincinnati railroad between Sunman and Van Wedden's stations and passed on to Harrison on Monday. A large force crossed the same Toad at Harman's and proceeded to the Ohio state line. At Van Wedden's the water tank and a section of the track were destroyed. Horses were taken in all places and those broken down left behind. As soon as Governor Morton was informed of the escape of Morgan into Ohio, he notified Governor Tod of that state of the fact, tendered him the services of 5,000 state troops, and steps were at once taken to forward as large a force as possible in pursuance of this proffer. On the afternoon of July 14 General Hascall ordered a brigade to Cincinnati, but as it was not needed all returned to Indianapolis in a day or two and were discharged. The regiments at all points were discharged and sent home as soon as possible, and measures were taken whereby they were paid for their services by the state in due time at the same rates allowed the soldiers of the United States.

Difficulties of a financial nature also presented themselves during and following the year 1863, traceable to an incident which occurred in the legislature of the state some days previous to the time for the close of the session, and which suspended entirely the proceedings of that body. It consisted in the withdrawal of a portion of the members of the house of representatives, by which no quorum to do business was left. The occasion of this withdrawal of members was reported to be and apprehension on their part that the majority of the house who were designated as Democrats, "would pass a bill which deprived the governor of that full control of the state militia, which had been conferred upon him." This proposed militia bill, it appears, conferred upon those enrolled under it the right to elect their own company and regimental officers, and reserved to the general assembly the right to say in what manner brigadier and major-generals should be appointed. With regard to the latter appointments, it was claimed by the majority to be the "constitutional" right of the assembly to say how they should be made, but by those who withdrew, it was claimed that the power to make the appointments was conferred by the constitution of the state on the governor. The consequence was that the legislature adjourned without passing any bills appropriating money to meet expenditures, leaving the state in a condition to which it would be difficult to find a parallel in any country. But Governor Morton met the crisis with a decision and energy that showed he clearly understood its necessities and was fully resolved to conquer them. The Indiana arsenal, so important to the government, must be carried on; the state militia, so often called into service to defend the border from Confederate invasion and insurrection, must be paid; military expenses must necessarily be incurred in raising troops, for steamboats sent with sanitary supplies to relieve the sick and wounded, and to bring home the broken down and disabled, for special surgeons despatched to the army and hospitals, for the support of the state military relief agencies, and other objects equally as essential. The governor, in an address issued to the people of the state, May 10, 1864, thus explains the course he felt compelled to pursue and the plan resorted to overcome the difficulties by which he was surrounded:

"In presenting the accompanying report of my financial secretary, it is proper that I should state, for public information, the reasons which induced me to establish a financial bureau and assume the heavy responsibilities which were thus thrown upon me.

"The legislature of 1863 adjourned on the 9th day of March, without making any appropriations for defraying the ordinary and extraordinary expenses of the state government. The former appropriations for the benevolent institutions, the hospital for the insane, institute for the blind, and asylum for the deaf and dumb, had been nearly or quite exhausted. The Northern prison had not only exhausted the appropriations hitherto made, but, by incurring a heavy debt in construction of buildings, had exhausted its credit also. More than 100,000 of our citizens had been sent to the field to assist in suppressing the rebellion, yet the only fund at my disposal, from which the contingent military expenses including the care and relief of the sick and wounded, could be paid, was a small remnant of the appropriation made in 1861. For the civil contingent expenses of the executive department there was no provision whatever. The auditor and treasurer of state, upon being consulted by me immediately after the close of the session, decided that not a single dollar, in the absence of legislative appropriations, should be drawn from the public funds in the treasury for these objects.

"The alternatives thus presented to me, were, First—to allow the benevolent institutions to be closed, and permit the unfortunate inmates to be thrown back upon their respective counties, or upon the charities of the world for care and support; or, Second—to convene the legislature in extra session, in the hope that the majority, who had full control, would pass the appropriation bills. To have closed the asylums would have been a shame and disgrace, as well as a crime against humanity itself. To have called back the legislature, after the majority for 50 days, during which time a quorum was present in each house, out of the 59 days of the regular session, had failed and refused to bring forward and pass the appropriation bills, I believed would have been perilous to the public peace and dangerous to the best interests of the state.

"In this contingency I determined to procure, if possible, sufficient money to carry on all the institutions of the state and keep the machinery of the government in motion. I accordingly established a bureau of finance and appointed Colonel W. H. H. Terrell, financial secretary. My success in procuring funds exceeded my expectations, and I am gratified to state that provision has been made for all the means which will likely be required to meet every proper demand up to the next regular meeting of the legislature."

All the money required, and more, was readily obtained, and for nearly two years the financial business of the state was thus carried on. Over $1,000,000 was disbursed, and a joint committee of the legislature appointed to investigate the books and vouchers, reported that every cent had been fully accounted for and every expenditure economically and properly made. "It will not be easy to find anywhere an instance of action more perfectly adapted to a great emergency than this. It filled every necessity and filled it at once, though there are few public men who would have dared to assume such enormous responsibility or who could have brought it to such a successful termination."

In the midst of the political campaign of 1864, and while a draft was impending, discovery was made of a secret organization, opposed to the war and enlistment of troops, and which endeavored in devious ways to obstruct the Federal and state authorities in their efforts to carry on the war. The governor in his message to the legislature in 1865 had this to say concerning it:

"Some misguided persons who mistook the bitterness of party for patriotism, and ceased to feel the obligations of allegiance to our country and government, conspired against the state and national governments and sought by military force to plunge us into the horrors of revolution. A secret organization had been formed, which by its lectures and rituals, inculcated doctrines subversive to the government, and which, carried to their consequences, would evidently result in the disruption and destruction of the nation. The members of this organization were united by solemn oaths, which, if observed, bound them to execute the orders of their grand commanders without delay or question, however treasonable or criminal might be their character. I am glad to believe that the great majority of its members regarded it merely as a political machine, and did not suspect the ulterior treasonable action contemplated by its leaders, and upon the discovery of its true character, hastened to abjure all connection with it. Some of the chief conspirators have been arrested and tried by the government, and others have fled; their schemes have been exposed and baffled."

This organization, at first generally known as the "Knights of the Golden Circle," seems to have been merely an adaptation to the purposes of the secession movement of an association of the same name that had been maintained for several years in the South, with a few branches in the Northern states, for the promotion of filibustering schemes. In its later and more dangerous form, it undoubtedly took its rise among the Confederates about the time the secession movement was inaugurated. It spread thence to the disaffected of the border slave states, and speedily afterward to the Northwest. In April, 1863, a month after the adjournment of the legislature, the commission appointed to investigate a fatal riot which had occurred in Brown county, examined several witnesses who testified to the existence of the order, its secrecy, its possession of arms and its military drills. The confessions of various members show that it had a double organization, one very large, composed entirely of initiates and operating mainly as a political club; the other small, composed only of the members of the higher degrees and of officers, and entirely military in its structure and purposes.

In September and October, 1864, William A. Bowles, Lambdin P. Milligan, Andrew Humphreys, Stephen Horsey and Horace Heffren, were arrested and confined in the guard-house of the soldiers' home at Indianapolis. Their subsequent trials before a military commission occupied several weeks and caused much excitement in the state. The charges and specifications upon which they were tried are thus given in an abridged form in Wallace's United States Supreme Court Reports, page 6, vol. iv., where the case of Milligan is fully reported: "1st. Conspiring against the government of the United States; 2nd. Affording aid and comfort to rebels against the authority of the United States; 3d. Inciting insurrection; 4th. Disloyal practices; and 5th. Violation of the laws of war. Under each of these charges there were various specifications. The substance of them was joining and aiding, at different times between October, 1863, and August, 1864, a secret society known as the 'Order of American Knights,' or 'Sons of Liberty,' for the purpose of overthrowing the government and duly constituted authorities of the United States; holding communication with the enemy; conspiring to seize munitions of war stored in the arsenals; to liberate prisoners of war, etc.; resisting the draft, etc., * * * at a period of war and armed rebellion against the authority of the United States, at or near Indianapolis (and various other places specified), in Indiana, a state within the military lines of the army of the United States, and the theater of military operations, and which had been and was constantly threatened to be invaded by the enemy."

These charges were amplified and stated in various forms. Horace Heffren, one of the accused, was released from arrest and discharged, and thereupon became an important witness for the prosecution. The court finally found Bowles, Milligan, Horsey and Humphreys guilty, and sentenced the first three to death. Humphreys was condemned to imprisonment for life, but General Hovey, who was in command of the military district, remitted the sentence to confinement within a limited space in Greene county for a year or two. The sentence of the others was approved, the day fixed for their execution, and preparations were already commenced, when the governor commissioned Hon. J. W. Pettitt to visit the president and protest, in the name of the state, against the execution of the sentence. President Johnson then commuted their sentence to imprisonment for life, at hard labor, in the Ohio penitentiary. Prior to the commutation of the sentence, however, and while preparations were being made for the execution, a writ of habeas corpus was sued out, and, the judges of the circuit court of Indiana being divided in opinion, the case was certified to the supreme court of the United States in banco. There the case was most ably and elaborately argued on both sides and the decision as finally rendered was in favor of the accused, the court holding in an exhaustive opinion as follows:

"Military commissions, organized during the late Civil war, in a state not invaded and not engaged in rebellion, in which the Federal courts were open, and in the proper and unobstructed exercise of their judicial functions, had no jurisdiction to try, convict, or sentence, for any criminal offence, a citizen who was neither a resident of a rebellious state, nor a prisoner of war, nor a person not in the military or naval service."

Following the decision of the court, an order came from the president directing the discharge of the prisoners, and thus ended what was perhaps the most serious incident occurring in Indiana during the Civil war. A short time prior to the arrest of the above-mentioned parties, Harrison H. Dodd, said to be grand commander of the Sons of Liberty in the state, was arrested upon similar charges, but during the progress of his trial he escaped from the window of his room and made his way to Canada.

The outbreak of the war found the government not only without an army, but without the means to equip it, and out of this double deficiency grew an army of citizens who not only needed more care than the government could give, but who left families dependent upon them needing help which no government has ever given. In Indiana the most obvious necessity was the completion of inadequate government supplies, and the other, but little less obvious, was to supply comforts which the government could not, or did not attempt to, supply. The efforts to meet the first led to organizations which, during the war, successfully met the second, and the record of these constitute the history of the State sanitary commission. At the commencement of the war, the women, with the instinctive tenderness of their sex, set about supplying head-gear, called "havelocks," for the three months' troops, and the governor provided every available comfort of camp-life and requirement of hospital service, to meet the deficiency of government provision. Contributions of clothing, camp equipage, provisions and hospital necessaries were constantly made to the soldiers, directly, by their friends, both before they left the camp of rendezvous and afterward; but these were more often mementoes of parental or friendly affection than provision for anticipated necessities. The first steps were naturally those in aid of ordinary government supplies. On August 20, 1861, Governor Morton, then in Washington, telegraphed to the state officers as follows: "Urge Major Montgomery (then United States quartermaster, at Indianapolis) to get overcoats of any good material, and not wait for a public letting. Do have them made at once. The men are suffering for them, and I am distressed for them. Perhaps a few thousand can be forwarded at once, by Captain Dickerson."

In pursuance of these orders, the state officers at once applied to Quartermaster Montgomery for the overcoats, but he was not able to furnish them, and an application was made to Captain Dickerson at Cincinnati, who promptly sent forward 4,000 in care of General Rosecrans, then in command in western Virginia. But the want of system, the enormous rush of supplies during the first months of the war, caused delays and confusions to a most embarrassing extent, and the overcoats were not very successful in "running the gauntlet" of the overburdened officers. On September 15, hearing nothing of them, the governor sent his private secretary to hunt them up, and as there were a good many "knotty" places where such supplies might be entangled, he soon after sent the state commissary general, Asahel Stone, to assist in tracing them. Twelve hundred were at last discovered and pushed through. Then repeated and earnest representations of the condition of the men to the officers concerned in the supply and transportation of the articles, finally succeeded in rescuing or replacing the remainder of them. The governor then went to New York and through the purchasing agent of the state, Hon. Robert Dale Owen, bought 29,000 overcoats. For a portion he paid the government price of $7-75 each, but the demand for that sort of material was so great that he could not get the remainder short of $9.25 each. The quartermaster-general, upon presentation of the bill, refused to pay more than the regulation price upon the whole lot, and when notified of this decision the governor replied: "Indiana will not allow her troops to suffer if it be in her power to prevent it, and if the general government will not purchase supplies at these (the current) rates, Indiana will." And from first to last the important consideration was, not "will the government pay?" but "what do the men need?" and what they needed they had, if money and energy could get it for them.

Overcoats, however, were not the only necessaries lacking. General Reynolds had reported in October that his men were without suitable shoes, socks or caps. Blankets, hardly less indispensable than clothes, were deficient in quantity and quality, and many articles unknown to the regulations were needed for both camp and hospital. On October 10, 1861, the governor issued a proclamation "To the patriotic women of Indiana," asking them to assist in providing for the men in the field. In the official report of the quartermaster-general of the state, made to the governor on May 1, 1862, that officer alludes to the effect of the proclamation, in the following paragraph:

"This proclamation met with a most cordial response, and donations to the value of many thousands of dollars were forwarded. The articles consisted, for the most part, of blankets, shirts, drawers, socks and mittens, together with sheets, pillows, pads, bandages, lint and dressing gowns, for hospital uses. So liberal were these contributions, that I deemed it necessary in the latter part of the winter, to issue a circular to the effect that the supply was sufficient, except of mittens and socks. That deficiency, too, was so far supplied that all subsequent applications for the articles, with the exception of only two or three, were filled. The generosity of our citizens in this regard has added very greatly to the comfort of our troops in the field and camp, and very probably has saved many valuable lives."

The distribution of the supplies contributed in response to the governor's appeal suggested the first organized effort of any state to complete or enlarge the government provision for the soldiers. The state commissary-general was charged with the duty of supervising the work, and energetic and humane gentlemen were sent as agents to the best points to carry it on. Their expenses and the purchase prices of such additional supplies as were deemed necessary, were paid out of the military contingent fund, appropriated by the legislature at the extra session of the spring of 1861. The duty of these agents, as set forth in a letter to the quartermaster-general of Ohio, dated November 26, 1864, was "to render all possible relief to our soldiers, especially to those who were sick or wounded, whether in transit, in hospitals, or on the field. Sanitary stores and hospital supplies, purchased in some cases by the governor, but more frequently donated by the patriotic people of the state, were sent to these agents, and by them carefully distributed, the rule being to first supply our own troops, and then to relieve them from other states." In addition to this regular provision of distributing and assisting agents, special agents, surgeons and nurses were also sent to points where additional aid was necessary.

The outgrowth of these early efforts was the "General Military Agency of Indiana," an organization which was destined to play so conspicuous a part in the history of the state's share in the war. It was created by the appointment, by Governor Morton, of Dr. William Hannaman, of Indianapolis, a gentle-man of large business experience, humanity and integrity, as general military agent, and to him was entrusted the receipt and distribution of all sanitary supplies, the supervision of local agencies, and the direction of all matters relating to the relief of soldiers. Field agents were expected not only to look after the health and comfort of the men, but to write letters, to take charge of commissions for them to their friends and relatives, to see to the burial of the dead, the preservation of relics, to keep registers of the names of all men in hospitals, with date of entry, disease or injury, and, in case of death, the date and cause, with any other information that might be of interest to relatives and friends. Local agents were required to make their offices the homes of soldiers; to assist them in getting transportation in returning home, when they had no money or government passes; to provide them with clothing when, as was too often the case, they were ragged and necessitous; to feed them; to facilitate every proper purpose; to take charge of returning prisoners and provide everything which their destitution demanded; and, in short, to be careful, affectionate, watchful guardians.

Besides the supervision of subordinate agencies of whatever kind, the general agency was charged with the duty of chartering steamers, when it was deemed necessary after a battle, to carry the stores, surgeons and nurses that might be required to the wounded, and to bring home, or to convenient hospitals, such as might be able or allowed to come. The first serious battle in which Indiana troops were engaged, that of Fort Donelson, was the occasion of the commencement of this humane labor, and it was never intermitted so long as it was needed.'

The duty of the people, through their government or outside of it, to provide for the families of soldiers, though less onerous, was not less than that of providing for the soldiers themselves. Here, as in all else that affected the soldiers' welfare, the watchful care of Governor Morton saw the necessity, almost before it had been felt by those it was approaching, and devised the remedy. On November 14, 1862, he issued an "Appeal to the People of the State of Indiana," in which the necessities and modes of relief were so clearly stated that little was left to the people but to go to work. The experience of the sanitary commission had settled all questions and the people went to work at once. The clergy was forcibly appealed to and responded with a promptitude that expressed how fully their Christian zeal was prepared to second the suggestions of their patriotism. On December 1 a letter, signed by all the ministers of the Gospel in Indianapolis, was sent "to the clergy, county commissioners, township trustees, and all who were willing to engage in aiding the families of soldiers," throughout the state, enforcing the exhortations and suggestions of the governor. The feeling diffused through the people was rapidly crystallized into action whenever it found something to gather about, and "soldiers' aid societies" were formed in every neighborhood, or their duties were added to those of the auxiliary sanitary associations. Their agents received and filled applications, visited the needy, and sought out those whose dislike to seem to be recipients of charity impelled them either to conceal or dissimulate their wants. County commissioners made liberal appropriations, and many a project of improvement, new court houses, new bridges, better roads, etc., was deferred to the higher necessity of supporting the dependents of volunteers. It is very questionable if any nation can exhibit a more creditable proof of the remedies as well as the power, the will as well as the wealth of a people, to take from their government a burden that it could not bear, but which rested, if not lightly, at least not painfully, upon their own willing shoulders.

In every respect the part which Indiana took in the war is one of which the citizens of the state may well feel proud. In the number of troops furnished and in the amount of voluntary contributions rendered, Indiana, in proportion to population and wealth, stands equal to any of her sister states. "It is also a subject of gratitude and thankfulness," said Governor Morton, in his message to the legislature, "that, while the number of troops furnished by Indiana alone in this great contest would have done credit to a first-class nation, measured by the standard of previous wars, not a single battery or battalion from this state has brought reproach upon the national flag, and no disaster of the war can be traced to any want of fidelity, courage or efficiency on the part of any Indiana officer. The endurance, heroism, intelligence and skill of the officers and soldiers sent forth by Indiana to do battle for the Union, have shed a lustre on our beloved state, of which any people might justly be proud. Without claiming superiority over our loyal sister states, it is but justice to the brave men who have represented us on almost every battle-field of the war, to say that their deeds have placed Indiana in the front ranks of those heroic states which rushed to the rescue of the imperiled government of the nation. The total number of troops furnished by the state for all terms of service exceeds 200,000 men, much the greater portion of them being for three years; and in addition thereto not less than 50,000 state militia have from time to time been called into active service to repel rebel raids and defend our southern border from invasion."

RECORD OF INDIANA REGIMENTS

NOTE.—In order to avoid confusion it should be kept in mind that Indiana furnished five regiments for the Mexican war, and that when the call for troops was made on April 15, 1861, it was decided that the numerical designation of the first regiment raised should be the 6th, in order to preserve regimental histories without a duplication of numbers. It should also be borne in mind that the regiments of this state bore consecutive numbers, without regard to the branch of service. Thus the 1st cavalry was the 28th regiment of the line; the 2nd cavalry was the 41st regiment; the 3d cavalry was the 45th; the 4th cavalry was the 77th; the 5th cavalry was the 90th; the 6th cavalry was the 71st; the 7th cavalry was the 119th; the 8th cavalry was the 39th; the 9th cavalry was the 121st; the 10th cavalry was the 125th; the nth cavalry was the 126th; the 12th cavalry was the 127th; the 13th cavalry was the 131st. The 16th and 17th regiments served for a time as mounted infantry, and the 21st regiment, which went out as infantry, was converted into the 1st heavy artillery.

Sixth Infantry.—Colonel, Thomas T. Crittenden; Lieutenant-Colonel, Hiram Prather; Major, John Gerber. The 6th was organized at Indianapolis in April, 1861, as a three months regiment, and was mustered in on April 25. It left the state May 30, for West Virginia, and reached Philippi June 2. It participated in the first battle of the war at that place June 3, and was attached to General T. A. Morris' brigade. It was also in the engagement at Carrick's ford, and was mustered out at Indianapolis, August 2, 1861.

Sixth Infantry (Reorganized).—Colonels, Thomas T. Crittenden, Philemon P. Baldwin, Hagerman Tripp; Lieutenant-Colonels, Hiram Prather, Hagerman Tripp, Calvin D. Campbell; Majors, Augustus H. Abbett, Calvin D. Campbell, Samuel F. McKeehan, Delaney Kavanaugh. This regiment was mustered in at Madison, September 20, 1861, for three years, and left the state the same day. At this time it numbered about 500, being un-uniformed and hastily provided with arms. The rumors of Morgan's invasion of the state, through Kentucky, led Colonel Crittenden to request that it be sent to Louisville to aid in repelling such an advance, and it was the first northern troop to enter Kentucky. It went to Louisville, thence to Muldraugh's hill, near Elizabethtown, and later was transferred to Nolin creek. On October 9, it was joined by 300 recruits from Madison, bringing its strength to about 800, and was assigned to Rousseau's brigade of McCook's division. It moved to Bowling Green, where it remained until March, 1862; was then ordered to Nashville, and thence to Savannah, Tennessee, where a steamer was taken for Pittsburg landing. It was engaged during the second day's fight at Shiloh, saving a battery from capture at a critical moment and making a charge that aided very materially in turning the tide of battle for a Union victory. It lost in this engagement 43 in k1lled and wounded. It camped on the field until the beginning of the march for and siege of Corinth, in which it participated. Just before the fall of Corinth Colonel Crittenden was appointed brigadier-general, Lieut-Colonel Prather resigned, Captain Baldwin was elected colonel, and Captain Tripp, lieutenant-colonel. It proceeded to Nashville with Buell's army and thence to Louisville, Kentucky, which was reached October 2, 1862. It participated in Rosecrans' march upon Murfreesboro, being in an all day's skirmish on December 25, and took part in the battle of Stone's river, where 3 of its color-bearers were shot and the regiment fell back with its brigade to escape annihilation, but reformed and aided in driving the enemy back some hours later. It was engaged in campaigning between Murfreesboro and Chattanooga during the spring and summer of 1863, being in a sharp engagement at Liberty gap during the movement towards Tullahoma in June. In the battle of Chickamauga it was thrown into the breach at noon of the first day's fighting, participated in two success, ful charges during the afternoon, in the grand charge the same night when Colonel Baldwin was killed and Lieutenant-Colonel Tripp severely wounded, and held its ground under a heavy fire all of the second day. It was in the skirmish at Brown's ferry, and took part in the engagement at Missionary ridge, after which it moved to the relief of General Burnside in eastern Tennessee and remained there until spring. It joined Sherman's movement towards Atlanta, in 1864, being in the battles of Tunnel Hill, Buzzard Roost, Rocky Face ridge, Resaca, New Hope Church, Allatoona Ridge, Dallas, Kennesaw mountain, Marietta, and before Atlanta. Its term of service expired in August and the reenlisted veterans and recruits whose term of service had not expired, were transferred to the 68th Indiana, infantry. The regiment was mustered out September 22, 1864. On the final muster-out of the 68th, 19 men of the 6th were found to be still in service and were transferred to the 44th Indiana,, being mustered out with that regiment September 14, 1865. The strength of the three months regiment was 781; and the loss by death 3, by desertion 8. The original strength of the three years regiment was 996. It gained by recruits 113, and by unassigned recruits 9; total 1,118. Loss by death 253; by desertion 48; unaccounted for, 10.

Seventh Infantry.—Colonels, Ebenezer Dumont, James Gavin, Ira G. Grover; Lieutenant-Colonels, Benjamin J. Spooner, James Gavin, John F. Cheek, Ira G. Grover, William C. Banta; Majors, Samuel P. Oyler, John F. Cheek, Benjamin C. Shaw, Ira G. Grover, William C. Banta, Merit C. Welch. This regiment was organized at Indianapolis in April, 1861, as a three months regiment and was mustered in April 28. It left the state May 29, being ordered to West Virginia where it joined other forces at Webster. The 7th took the advance upon Philippi, Co. B driving the enemy's pickets back and the regiment entered the town on the double quick followed by the column, the enemy being driven from the town. It remained in camp here for six weeks, engaged in scouting, and marched to Belington, where it engaged for three days in heavy skirmishes. It joined in the pursuit of the enemy, and overtaking him at Carrick's ford, the 7th charged and captured his baggage. Overtaking the fleeing forces again at the next ford, the 7th again defeated him. General Garnett, commanding the enemy, being killed. The regiment was mustered out at Indianapolis August 2, 1861. It was immediately reorganized for three years, and was mustered in September 13, leaving the state at once for Western Virginia, and joining General Reynolds' command at Cheat mountain. It was engaged in the battle of Green Brier, and then moved to camp near Green Spring run. It was in the battle of Winchester heights, at Port Republic and Front Royal, then moved to Fredericksburg and back, and was assigned to General McDowell's command. With Pope's forces it was in the campaign of the Army of Virginia, participating at Cedar mountain, and the second battle of Bull Run. It joined the pursuit of Lee through Maryland, and was in the battle of An tie t am. It next fought at Ashby's gap, and participated in the battle of Fredericksburg. During 1863, it was engaged at Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, losing heavily in both battles. It was also in the battle of Mine Run in November and went into camp at Culpeper. It moved with the Army of the Potomac in the spring of 1864, being engaged at the battles of the Wilderness, Laurel hill, Spottsylvania, Po river. North Anna river, Bethesda Church and Cold Harbor, being under fire for eighteen days during these engagements and losing heavily. On June 16, it moved to the front of Petersburg, and participated in the assault of the 17th. It remained on duty in the siege of Petersburg until August 18, and was then engaged at the Weldon railroad. It was consolidated with the 19th Indiana on September 23, and this organization in turn was consolidated with the 20th Indiana on October 18, the 7th being mustered out as a regiment September 20, 1864. Its original strength was 1,046; gain by recruits, 190; reenlistments, 46; unassigned recruits, 17; total, 1,290. Loss by death, 212; desertion, 26; unaccounted for, 27.

In March, 1863, the battery proceeded to Louisville and joined the pursuit of Morgan through Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio, and after his capture moved into east Tennessee, being engaged with the enemy at Kingston, Calhoun, Philadelphia and Loudon in August and September. Evacuating Loudon the latter part of October, the battery was divided, one portion going to Kingston, 20 miles below, the other to Lenoir's station, 6 miles d1stant. At K1ngston a sharp engagement occurred and at Lenoir's an equally lively sk1rmish ensued, the enemy there being driven. At Campbell's station the enemy made a desperate effort to stay the movement of the column, but was repulsed after a brisk engagement, in which the battery took an active part, and at Concord it was again engaged. Entering Knoxville with the army November 17, it performed some efficient work in repulsing Longstreet's repeated assaults, then joined the pursuit of the flee1ng forces, throwing shot and shell into the enemy's rear-guard, and hav1ng encounters at Blain's cross-roads and Rutledge.

At 4 p. m., the enemy's batteries withdrew, leaving 2 disabled guns, 3 caissons and a number of their dead. In falling back from the Rappahannock the army encountered the enemy at Sulphur springs and a sharp skirmish followed, the battery firing so effect1vely as to cause him to abandon 2 guns of which the battery quickly took possession. At the battle of Groveton, a 12-gun battery, known as the "Washington Light Artillery," attacked the Union army upon the right, capturing 2 batteries. The 16th Indiana was thrown forward and by its effect1ve work saved the troops from annihilation.

Captain Thomas joined the battery at Somerset on May 9. Moving into eastern Tennessee with Burnside's forces in August, it participated in the affairs at Carter's station on the Virginia railroad, and at the Watauga river. The battery was conspicuously engaged in the defensive operations at Knoxville, and claimed to have fired the first gun in that engagement. Moving close to the enemy's lines in sections at night, it harassed him by an incessant fire, and when the siege was raised it accompanied the pursuit of Longstreet's forces, engaging them at different places. In January, 1864, 103 men of the battery reenlisted at Strawberry plains, and visited home on furlough. Of these about 55 were remustered, the others being considered not eligible for veteran muster. Leaving Indianapolis March 18, 1864, the battery returned to Tennessee and in April was attached to Hovey's division, then at Charleston, but the failure to secure equipment in time prevented its accompanying the army on the Atlanta campaign. It was sent to Knoxville and attached to the reserve artillery, commanded by General Tillson. On June 12 the non-veterans were sent to Indianapolis for muster-out. The battery remained at Knoxville on garrison duty and engaged in building fortifications until the following March, when it was equipped as a 4-gun battery and joined Tillson's command in General Stoneman's movement into North Carolina. At the conclusion of this campaign it went into camp at Greeneville, Tennessee, remaining there until ordered home. It reached Indianapolis July n, 1865, with 5 officers and 105 men, and was mustered out on the 19th.

Indiana Legion.—Under the special act of May n, 1861, an organization to be known as the "Indiana Legion" was authorized. The purposes of this organization were to protect the state from invasion and to aid in recruiting and enforcing the laws. Mention of the Legion has been made in the general history of Military Affairs. Companies were raised in almost every county in the state, and these were organized into regiments and brigades, though the organization was never fully perfected according to the original intentions of the act, which divided the state into brigade districts—the 3d, 4th, 5th, 6th and 9th brigades to constitute the 1st division, of which Major-General John L. Mansfield was appointed commander, and the 2nd division was to be composed of the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 8th brigades, under command of Major-General James Hughes. Twelve regiments or legions were formed bearing the numbers from 1 to 12, chiefly in the southern part of the state where the danger from invasion was greatest, though partial regimental formations were effected in nearly every Congressional district. The companies forming this organization were generally known as "Home Guards." Their chief service was during the Morgan raid in the summer of 1863, and in guarding prisoners of war at Indianapolis and some other points in the state.


WILLIAM R. HOLLOWAY

William R. Holloway, of Indianapolis, Indiana,, was intimately connected with the affairs of that state during the period of the Civil war. He was born at Richmond, Wayne county, Indiana,, December 6, 1836, and is a son of David P. and Jane Ann (Paulson) Holloway, the former a native of Waynesville, Ohio, and the latter of the State of Delaware. One of his maternal ancestors, Captain William Robeson, commanded a company that went out from Wilmington, Delaware in the Revolutionary war. Colonel Holloway was educated in the public schools of his native city and upon leaving school learned the printer's trade in his fathers' office—the Richmond Palladium. He read law with Morton & Kiley at Centerville, Indiana,, and in January, 1861, he was appointed private secretary to Governor Morton. Although less than twenty-five years of age at the time of his appointment, he brought to the position an energy and resourcefulness that soon won the complete confidence of the great war governor, who turned over to his secretary many of the details of the office in those trying times. In his official capacity Colonel Holloway looked after the work of the sanitary commission; visited soldiers in the field, in camp and in hospitals; and many an Indiana soldier remembers with gratitude the governor's secretary. In addition to his arduous duties as secretary, Colonel Holloway served as state printer from 1861 to 1863. In August, 1864, he resigned his position as secretary and bought the Indianapolis Journal. This paper he disposed of by piecemeal, taking others into partnership, until in 1866 he severed his connection with it entirely. He served as postmaster at Indianapolis during both administrations of President Grant and the one term of President Hayes, being altogether twelve years in the office. He was private secretary to Mayor C. S. Denny, 1896-97 and was also secretary to the board of public park commissioners. In August, 1897, he was appointed consul-general to St. Petersburg by President McKinley. This position he held for seven and a half years, discharging his duties in a manner that was acceptable to his own government and that of the Czar. At the end of that time he was transferred by President Roosevelt at his request to Halifax, N. S., where he remained until the spring of 1907, when he retired. Colonel Holloway is a member of the Columbia club, of Indianapolis, one of the best known Republican clubs in the country, with which party he has always affiliated, and in the interests of which he has always taken an active part. His only son, Edward Morton Holloway, is now clerk of the U. S. circuit court of appeals at Chicago, Illinois. Although nominally retired from the active duties of life, Colonel Holloway finds idleness too irksome for endurance, and he is engaged in writing a volume of reminiscences, which will give to the public many interesting incidents that occurred during the dark days from 1861 to 1865. He has also carefully revised and edited the manuscript of that portion of this work which pertains to "Military Affairs in Indiana."
