Resolved, By this Board, that we do hereby appropriate out of the County Treasury, the sum of sixty dollars to each volunteer that has enlisted in Fayette County under the late calls, and to those who shall enlist on or before the 23d instant, when said volunteer has been mustered into the United States service, and certificate of such mustering has been returned to the Clerk of this Board of the same by a proper officer.
Resolved, further, That we do hereby authorize and order the Clerk to draw warrants on the County Treasury, in sums of not less than ten dollars, payable to said volunteer or his legally authorized representative, when the said Clerk is satisfied that the said volunteer is mustered into the United States service.
WILLIAM MORRAS, J. B. STEPHENSON, C. D. SHAMBAUGH.
A committee, consisting of Joseph Hobson and Milo McGlathery were appointed to " confer with Governor Kirkwood and get him to release the citi- zens of this county from liability under the regulations for drafting, as soon as the county has furnished its quota of volunteers, under the call of the President, and if drafting is necessary, that it be done in those townships that have not furnished their quota of volunteers."
September 1, 1862, it was
Resolved, That those volunteers who have enlisted since the 23d day of August, 1862, should receive the same bounty as those who enlisted prior to that day, and also those volunteering to fill up old regiments, and that the Clerk be and he is hereby authorized to draw warrants in favor of all volunteers who shall be accepted from Fayette County under the two last calls for 300,000 men each.
On Friday, the 15th of August, 1862, J. J. Welsh marched into West Union with ninety stalwart recruits, and between that date and the 25th, four companies were organized in the county. One under Charles Chadwick, Cap-

tain ; S. W. Day, First, and C. H. Millar, Second Lieutenant. One under J. W. Rogers, Captain, Henry Shoemaker and David Campbell, Lieutenants. One under J. J. Welsh, Captain, J. J. Berkey and John Herriman, Lieutenants, and the fourth under Eliphalet Follett, Captain, and Elisha Hosmer and Lewis Armstrong, Lieutenants. Capt. Chadwick's company left on Tuesday, Septem- ber 2. No flag had been provided for the company, and Mrs. Brewer, on that day, collected, by voluntary subscription, money enough to buy a flag, and accompanied by Mrs. Walbridge went to Fayette, and bought one, and returned. She then enlisted Mrs. Johnson and the Sheriff, and started for McGregor, where she overtook the company and presented the flag on Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday evening, September 3, a flag was presented to Capt. Rogers. and his company, by the citizens of Auburn. Mr. Morris B. Earll made the presentation speech, to which Capt. Rogers responded very happily. Remarks were also made by Mr. Spencer, Dr Ball, Rev. Mr. Williams and Rev. Mr. Ricker.
October 22, 1862, the committee appointed to investigate the number of soldiers entitled to the $60 bounty, made the following report : To the Board of Supervisors :
Your committee appointed to investigate the number entitled to the bounty of $60, offered to those enlisting under the two last calls of the President of the United States, would report that, as near as can be ascertained, the quota of the 600,000 men called for from this county are fully made up, and none are entitled to said bounty but those enlisting under said call. The number of volunteers who have enlisted in new regiments, and whose names have been returned as having been duly sworn and mustered into the United States service, is 354. The number that have enlisted to fill up old regiments has not been returned, but will not, probably, increase the number above 380. At $60 each, this would amount to $22,800, for the payment of which Fayette County is liable. To meet such liability, your committee would recommend that there be a special fund created, to be denominated the " Bounty Fund," and to supply said fund, there be assessed four mills on the taxable property of said county for the year 1862 ;. and would, therefore, recommend the adoption of the following resolution :
Be it resolved and ordered by the Board of Supervisors of Fayette County, Iowa, That, for creating a fund to pay bounty warrants, there be and is hereby levied on all taxable property of said county the sum of four mills on the dollar.
An amendment making the tax five, instead of four mills, was made, and the report adopted.
FROM THE FRONT.
The following resolutions were adopted by the officers of the Thirty-eighth Regiment Iowa Volunteers, at New Madrid, Mo., in the Spring of 1863 :
Resolved, That the war in which we are engaged was forced upon the United States without cause or provocation, by men who, for a long time prior to actual war, had been plotting the destruction of our government by armed resistance to its rightful authority ; who, as declared by Stephen A. Douglas in May, 1861, were engaged in an " enormous conspiracy formed more than a year since-formed by leaders of the Southern Confederacy more than twelve months ago," whose "scheme was carnage and civil war in the North " and who " hoped in the North- ern States party questions would bring war between Democrats and Republicans, when the South would step in with her cohorts, aid one party to conquer the other, and then make easy prey of the victors."
Resolved, That we endorse the further declaration of Mr. Douglas that "Every man must be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war-only patriots and traitors."
Resolved, That traitors are our enemies and patriots our friends, whatever may have been their past party associations or whatever may be their present habitations.
Resolved, That the issue of this contest must be decided by military victories, not by polit- ical or peace conventions ; that every armed enemy must be subdued by the power of the Govern- ment, not placated by concessions ; that we are opposed to an armistice, because it would weaken our cause, strengthen the enemy and prolong the war; that peace obtained by any other means than the laying down of arms by citizens of the Southern Confederacy, and their unconditional submission to the laws of the United States, would be a delusive, treacherous peace, and but an interlude between perpetually recurring wars, more atrocious and embittered at each renewal.

HISTORY OF FAYETTE COUNTY.
Resolved, That we will give to the United States Government our best efforts to prosecute the war until every armed foe shall be subdued, and our earnest support to all measures necessary to re- establish its authority over every foot of its former jurisdiction in the most speedy and thorough manner.
Resolved, That we detest the cowardly, treacherous demagogues of the North who are striv- ing by appeals to party prejudice and other passions, to create disaffection and demoralization in the army ; to discourage enlistments and encourage desertions ; to injure the credit of the Gov- ernment ; and to array a portion of the citizens in opposition to the efforts of the Government to prosecute the war, upon the success of which depend our national life and our individual secur- ity ; and we warn them that if they persist in their scheme of opposition to Government and bring civil war to our hearthstones, while we are battling against a malignant foe whose defeat is equally necessary to the security of their property, homes, wives, children and friends as our own, that the day which marks our return will be to them a day of terrible retribution-that we shall hold them answerable for all wrongs inflicted upon, and sufferings endured by, our families by reason of such revolutionary action, and mark as enemies all instigators, aiders and abettors thereof.
Resolved, That our motto is long life to the United States Government and its loyal defend- ers, and a speedy death to the rebellion and its supporters.

It would require a larger volume than this to recount all that was done, at home and in the field, by the patriotic citizens of Fayette during the civil war. As long as the war continued, money was ready-men were ready. Men of wealth furnished the former, and the less affluent filled the ranks-furnished the brawn, the muscle, the bravery, the sinews of war. Oftentimes, the former furnished not only their share of money, but shouldered their muskets and fol- lowed the starry flag as well.
Having noticed the financial sacrifices and the readiness of the wealthier part of the people to contribute liberally and continuously of their means, we come now to the volunteer soldiery. And of these, what can we say ? What vivid words can the pen employ that will do justice to their heroic valor, to their unequaled and unparalleled bravery and endurance ? Home and home comforts, wives and little ones, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, were all given up for life and danger on the fields of battle-for exposure, fatigue, disease and death, at the point of the bayonet or at the cannon's mouth. But little they recked for all these, but bravely and boldly went out, with their lives in their hands, to meet and conquer the foes of the Union, maintain its supremacy and vindicate its honor and integrity. No more fitting tribute to their patriotic valor can be offered than a complete and full record, so far as it is possible to make it, em- bracing the names, the terms of enlistment, the battles in which they were engaged, and all the minutæ of their military lives. It will be a wreath of glory encircling every brow- a precious memento which each and every one of them earned, gloriously earned, in defense of their and our common country.

THIRD INFANTRY.
The Third Regiment was raised, drilled and sent to the front about August 1, 1861. Its first engagement was at Blue Mills, Mo., September 18, 1861. Fought gallantly at Shiloh two days, the second day under command of Lieut. Cusley, the regimental officers being off duty or wounded. At Metamora, October 5, 1862, the regiment suffered heavily. On its way to join Gen. Grant, before Vicksburg, the Third was attacked by guerrillas, and had fourteen men wounded. Participated in the operations at Vicksburg. July 12, 1863, it went into battle at John- son, Miss., with 241 men, and lost 114 killed, wounded and missing. Participated in the Meridian expedition, arriving there February 3, 1864, and next day tore up fifteen miles of railroad. Near Atlanta, did good service, July 28. Greatly reduced in numbers, the survivors re enlisted. forming three companies, and consolidated with the Second Infantry.
Company F was organized in Fayette County, and was received into the State service May 20, 1861. Left West Union May 29, numbering ninety-four men, and arrived at Keokuk June 6. Was in Camp Kirkwood at Keokuk until the 29th, when it embarked with the regiment for Hannibal, Mo., arriving the same evening; and during the remainder of 1861 and in 1862 did duty in Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi, participating in four engage- ments, two seiges and seven skirmishes, namely : Battle of Blue Mills, where the company lost one killed and seven- teen wounded; battle Shiloh, April 6 and 7, 1862, where it lost four killed, ten wounded and one taken prisoner ; battle of Metamora, Tenn., Oct: 5, 1862, where it had one man mortally and six severely wounded; and the battle of Jackson, Miss., where it lost eight wounded and three missing ; the seige of Corinth, Miss., during the month of May, 1862, and the seige of Vicksburg, Miss., during the months of May, June and July, 1863, where it lost one man ; skirmish at Hagerwoods, Mo., July 9, 1863 ; at Monroe, Mo., July 10 and 11, 1861 ; Shelbina, Mo., Sept. 9, 1861 ; near La Grange, Tenn., July 15, 1862; at Mos- cow, Tenn., February, 1862, where it lost one man (taken prisoner) ; en route for Vicksburg on steamer Crescent City, near Greenville, Miss., May 18, 1863, when it had one man mortally wounded and two others severely. The
company marched in all 5,300 miles, the longest day's march being from Lagrange to Somerville, Tenn., and back, thirty-four miles. It accompanied the famous march of Gen. Grant through Central Mississippi, and lost one man (taken prisoner) in Van Dorn's raid on Holly Springs, Dec. 30, 1862. The company, after taking the field, had fifteen recruits, making a total of one hundred and fifteen men, rank and file.
It should be added that in Col. Scott's report of the battle of Blue Mills Landing, Mo., on the 17th of Sep- tember, 1861, especial mention is made of Sergt. James H. Lakin of Company F, " who bore the colors and car- ried them through the fight with all the coolness of a veteran." In this battle Col. Scott's horse was hit several times, and several balls went through his clothes. Eight bullets went through the flag in the hands of Sergt. Lakin, and another struck the staff.
NOTE .- The non-veterans of this Regiment were mustered out at the expiration of their term of service in June and July, 1864. The veterans and recruits were consolidated into Third Veteran Infantry, which was consolidated with Second Veteran Infantry. See Second Veteran Consolidated Infantry (2d and 3d.)
