SEVENTH INFANTRY.
The Seventh Regiment was organized and mustered in in July, 1861, at Burlington. Washington county was represented in companies A, E, H, I and K. The disaster at Bull Run had just thrown the Union-loving people into dismay, and troops were much needed. The regiment was hur- ried to the field and made its first halt at Ironton, about one hundred miles south of St. Louis, where it was drilled in the mannal of arins. Thence it inoved to Jackson, Cape Girardeau, Cairo, and in November were ordered to " sail in" at Belmont, November 7th, where the men fought like devils, and suffered severely as the result of their impetuosity. From Belmont it returned to Benton Barracks, where, after two months, it joined in the attack on Fort Henry. February 12, 1862, it joined the expedition against Ft. Donelson, and was actively engaged in the reduction of that strong- hold. It was quartered in the fort nearly a month, when it moved to Pitts- burg Landing, and assisted in winning the glory awarded to the "Iowa Brigade " at Shiloh. It next joined the seige of Corinth, and after the fall of that city, and the pursuit of the rebels to Boonville, it returned to Corinth, and passed the winter in camp. While at Corinth, it was ordered to Iuka, September 15th, for strategic purpose, and was not in the battle of the 19th. It returned to Corinth, and in the memorable battles on the 3d and 4th of October it was actively engaged and lost heavily, its casual- ties being 123. In October the regiment marched with Gen. Dodge to Pulaski. In December the regiment re-enlisted as veterans, and came north on furlough, and on the expiration of which it returned to the front with the Second Iowa, via Prospect, Elkton and Huntsville. In April, 1864, it joined the Atlanta campaign, and at Costananla river, May 15, it distinguished itself by its determined charges against a whole brigade of the enemy, driving them from the field. After the Atlanta campaign, it joined the campaign through the Carolinas. From Rome it marched to Savannah, thence through the Carolinas to Goldsboro, arriving March, 24, 1865, where it was encamped when thie Confederacy collapsed. It then marched to Raleigh, and with the victorious army formed a part of the ' grand review " at Washington; thence moved to Louisville, where it was inustered out, July 12, 1865. The casualties of the regiment were:
Oficers-Killed, 4; died, 6; wounded, 23; resigned, 37; dismissed, 3. Total, 73.

EIGHTH INFANTRY.
The Eighth Infantry was organized during the summer of 1861, and ren- dezvonsed at Camp Mcclellan, Davenport. It was sent to Benton Bar- racks in September and equipped for the field. Its first service was in the raid after Price, down through Missouri, and after chasing him into Ar- kansas, it returned and went into winter quarters at Sedalia. The following March it moved to Pittsburg Landing, arriving a few days before the battle of Shiloh. On that memorable Sunday, April 6th, it was with the Iowa brigade placed in an exposed position, and after holding it for several hours the Eighth was surrounded and captured, at six o'clock in the even- ing. Its loss that day in killed and wounded were near two hundred. The regiment was marched to Corinth, thence south via Memphis and Mobile to Montgomery, Ala., where it was imprisoned in some cotton sheds, where ill treated, it was kept six weeks and then moved to Macon, Ga., where worse treatment was inflicted, men being shot down like dogs withont provocation. There it was kept three months, when it was sent to Libby Prison where the men were exchanged. A furlough was given, the men came home, the regiment was reorganized in December, 1862, and wintered at Benton Barracks. The following spring it joined Grant's forces at Vicks- burg, in his first movement: thence crossed into Mississippi, and skirmished about, taking an active part in the first siege of Jackson, when it went into rifle pits in the rear of Vicksburg for thirty days, and in the assault of the 23d of May lost heavily. At Black river, July 1, 1863, the second siege of Jackson, July 16, and at Brandon, July 17, it was actively engaged and met with some loss. In the fall of 1863 it returned to Memphis where it re- mained on post duty nearly a year. In the fall of 1864 it joined the forces aronnd Mobile, and from March 27th to April 8, 1865, was several times engaged in the assaults on Spanish Fort. For its bravery and pluck in the final assault the regiment was allowed to inscribe on its banner, "First at Spanish Fort." The regiment made the final charge, and was the only one that engaged the enemy inside the fort. It remained in that vicinity until mastered ont at Selma, Ala., April 26, 1866. The casnal- ties of the regiment were:
