the 4th of January. It arrived at Columbus on that day, and was ordered once more to Davenport, where it arrived on the 7th of January, 1863, and from there it was ordered, on the 27th of March, to proceed to St. Louis, Missouri, there to rejoin the regiment ; and as soon as organized was ordered to report to General Grant in the field, near Vicksburg, Mississippi, and served during the entire siege, participating in all the principal engagements until the 22d of June, when it was sent to Black River, to guard the rear from an attack by Johnson. Vicksburg was surrendered July 4, 1863.
The Twelfth was engaged in the battle near Tupelo, Mississippi, on the 13th, 14th and 15th of July, 1864, losing nine men killed, fifty-four wounded, and one missing, out of two hundred engaged.
In June, 1864, Companies A and F, numbering fifty-five men, under command of Capt. J. R. C. Hunter, while stationed at the mouth of White River, Arkansas, were attacked by six hundred rebels of Marmaduke's com- mand, about daylight on the 22d of June, but taking refuge behind a slight stockade, they repulsed the enemy, he leaving twenty killed and mortally wounded on the field. The loss of Companies A and F was one killed and four wounded.
The regiment fought bravely in the battle of Nashville, and received special mention by brigade and division commanders for good service. Corp. Luther P. Kaltenbach, of Company F, and Private A. J. Sloan, of Company H, each captured a rebel flag, for which they were rewarded with medals by the secretary of war.
The regiment marched in pursuit of Hood, with the army, to Clinton, on the Tennessee river, thence by steamer to Eastport, Mississippi, arriving there on the 7th of January, 1865.
Here Lieut .- Col. John H. Stibbs got a leave of absence for thirty days, to visit Iowa, for the purpose of recruiting the regiment. He remained in Iowa but a short time, when he went to Washington, and, through the in- fluence of friends, secured a position on a military commission, where he remained until after the war closed.
Maj. Samuel G. Knee assumed command of the regiment, and retained it during the remaining period of the service.
From Eastport, the regiment was ordered to New Orleans, then em- barked with the forces under General Canby, on the expedition against Mobile; it was in the front line during the siege of Spanish Fort, which was the last service rendered by the regiment.
During the service, the gallant Twelfth was in twenty-three battles, was under fire one hundred and twelve days, and had ninety-five men killed in battle.

EIGHTEENTH INFANTRY.
The Eighteenth was mustered into the service August 5, 6 and 7, 1862, with eight hundred seventy-five officers and men, and was almost immediately ordered into Missouri, to join General Schofield's command.
During the following winter, it was stationed at Springfield, and bore a conspicuous part in the battle at that place, January 7 and 8, 1863. Com- pany H was in this battle, in which the town was defended by a battalion of Missouri militia and the Eighteenth fought against an army four thousand strong.
The regiment remained here for several weeks, doing camp and picket duty, varied by a chase of the rebel General Shelby, into Arkansas, thence to Fort Smith.
In the spring of 1864 the regiment was attached to General Steele's com- mand, and marched to Camden.
On April 13th, it was in an engagement near Moscow, thirty miles from Camden.
On April 17th, it received seven successive and impetuous charges from superior numbers, and returned to Camden with a loss of seventy-seven men. The regiment was then returned to Fort Smith, and remained in that vicinity until it was mustered out at Little Rock, Arkansas, July 20, 1865.

TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY.
This regiment was recruited and organized in 1862. It went into service under Colonel Samuel Merrill (since governor), Lieut .- Col. C. Dunlap, and Maj. S. G. Van Anda, of Delaware. Its first engagement was at Hartsville, Missouri, January II, 1863. Soon after, the regiment was transferred to General Grant's command, and drew the first fire of the enemy at Port Gib- son, May 1, 1863, and had sixteen men wounded in the engagement.
The regiment was again engaged at Black River Bridge, May 17th, where Colonel Merrill was wounded. It suffered severely in this charge, losing eighty-three men in three minutes ; but captured a large number of the enemy.
On the 22nd of May, the regiment made a brilliant charge on Fort Beaure-

gard, in the rear of Vicksburg, and captured it, but was driven out in turn. In this engagement Lieut .- Col. Dunlap was shot in the forehead and instantly killed. After the capture of Vicksburg, the regiment was ordered to New Orleans ; thence to Texas, where it passed the winter. In the spring of 1864 it was ordered to White river ; and during the remainder of the year was sta- tioned, successively, at St. Charles, Duvall's Bluffs, mouth of the White river, Memphis, Wolf river, and New Orleans.
On March 5, 1865, the regiment left for Dauphin island, and passing up Mobile bay, landed on the peninsula of Alabama, and was attached to the Division of the Gulf, commanded by General Canby.
On March 26, about eight o'clock A. M., four companies were thrown out as skirmishers, who kept up a continuous fire upon the retreating enemy, often aided by the other companies of the regiment, for ten miles, when the rebels made a bold stand; and at nine o'clock P. M. the advance of the regi- ment drew the fire of the enemy from their earthworks, having driven them since eight o'clock that morning.
The rebels being driven into their works, preparations for a siege com- menced. The regiment took active part in the siege until the 30th, when it was withdrawn to escort a supply train to General Steele. April 2d, it was ordered to Fort Blakely. During the operations against this stronghold, the men entered the rifle pits at dark on the evening of the 7th, and were under the most terrible fire of shells for two hours. After fighting in this position for thirty-six hours, without rest or food, they were ordered to the support of General Smith in a contemplated assault upon Spanish Fort, seven miles away. The fort, the strongest on the bay, surrendered, however, before the regiment could reach it.
Soon after the fall of Mobile, the Twenty-first Regiment was sent up the Red river for the purpose of paroling rebel prisoners. Having performed this duty, it was ordered to Baton Rouge, where it was mustered out July 15, I865.
