EIGHTEENTH INFANTRY. (Consolidated.)
Of this regiment, company H was from Moultrie county ; we append to the conclusion of this article a roster of the same. The 18th Regiment was organized under the "Ten-regiment Act," at Anna, Illinois, and mustered into the state's service, for thirty days, by Capt. U. S. Grant, May 16, 1861; mustered into the United States service May 28, 1861, by Capt. Pitcher, U. S. A .; ordered to Bird's Point, Mo., on the 24th of June following. August 7, moved on Cairo and Fulton road, to protect bridges; returned the 17th; 27th moved to Mound City ; thence to Cairo and Bloomfield, Mo., and on the 10th of January, 1862, returned and moved down the Mississippi to Fort Jefferson. Reconnoitered the enemy's position at Columbus, Ky., and on the 20th of January returned to Cairo. February 2d embarked for Fort Henry, and arrived after the enemy had been driven out by the gunboats; on
the 11th in the First Brigade, Col. R. J. Oglesby commanding. Was engaged in the three days' battle at Fort Donaldson, where the regiment lost 50 killed and 150 wounded. It must be remem- bered that company H was not then in the service.
The old original 18th took part in several of the most important battles of the war; and as company H from Moultrie county was not mustered as a part of this regiment until March 18, 1865, it therefore did not participate in the more important early battles of the war. Company H was among the seven companies of one year's recruits, assigned to the regiment in March, 1865. After December, 1863, the regiment served in the department of Arkan- sas, commanded by Gen. Steele, being stationed principally at Pine Bluff, Duval Bluff, and Little Rock, and was engaged in nu- nierous campaigns and expeditions. Was mustered out December 16, 1865, at Little Rock, Ark .; arrived at Camp Butler December 31, 1865, where payment and discharge was made.

TWENTY-FIRST INFANTRY. GENERAL U. S. GRANT.
This regiment was organized at Mattoon, Ill., on the 9th of May, 1861, and on the 15th of May it was mustered into the state service for 30 days, by Capt. U. S. Grant, and June 28th, it was mustered into the U. S. service for three years, by Capt. Pitcher, U. S. A., and Governor Yates appointed Capt. Grant colonel of the regiment. In the 2 st regt. Shelby county furnished a few men of companies. A, C and K, and Moultrie county had representatives in companies B, E and H ; company E was made up almost entirely of volun- teers from Moultrie county. After the regiment was sworn into service, it was ordered to rendezvous at Quincy, Ill., and on the 3d of July it started on its march from Camp Yates, Springfield, Ill., the next day a dispatch came countermanding the above order, and on the 4th of July, 1861, the regiment started for Mo. On the 21st of October it participated in the battle of Fredericktown, and returned to Irontown, Mo., where it remained until January 29, 1862. Marched with Gen. Steele's expedition to Jacksonport, Arkansas, where it was ordered to Corinth, via Cape Girardeau. The regiment operated a portion of the time in skirmishing in the neighborhood of Corinth, Farington and Holly Springs. When on the 14th of August, 1862, it was ordered to join Gen. Buell's army in Tennessee, marched via Eastport, Miss., Columbia, Tenn., Florence, Alabama, Franklin, Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tenu., and arrived at Louisville, Sept. 27, 1862. The 21st took a leading part in the battles of Perryville and Chaplin Hill. When the army marched from Nashville, Dec. 26, 1862, this regiment formed a part of the
2d brigade, 1st division, 20th army corps, and was in the skirmish at Knob Gap. On the 30th of December, in connection with the 15th Wisconsin, 38th Illinois, and 101st Ohio regts. it liad a se- vere engagement with the enemy near Murfreesboro, where it charged the celebrated Washington (rebel) Light Artillery, 12 Parrott guns, and succeeded in driving every man from the bat. tery, when it was compelled to fall back by a division of rebel infantry. In the battle of Murfreesboro it lost more men than any other regiment engaged. The 21st was with Rosecrans' army fron Murfreesboro to Chattanooga. This regiment distinguished itself at the battle of Chickamauga, September 19 and 20, where it lost 238 officers and men.
On the 6th of August, 1861, Col. Grant was commissioned Briga- dier General, and at the same date Lieut. Col. J. W. S. Alexander became C.l. of the regiment. On the last day of the battle of Chickamauga, September 20, Col. Alexander was killed, and Lieut. Col. McMackin being wounded, Capt. C. K. Knight took command of the regiment. After the battle of Chickamauga this regiment was attached to the First Brigade, First Division, Fourth Army Corps, and remained at Bridgeport, Alabama, until some time in Decem- ber, 1863. Thence proceeded to Texas and was mustered out at San Antonio, Texas, Dec. 16, 1865. Arrived at Camp Butler Jan. 18, 1866, where payment and discharge was made. The history of the gallant Twenty-first adds additional lustre to the patriotism of Illinois, and well did the brave men who went out from Moultrie and Shelby counties do their part.

The Seventeenthi corps occupied the left of the line, and the Thirty-second Regiment occupied the exposed position on the advance July 2d. Was transferred to right of line, on the 4th and 5th, and on the 5th, when the Fourteenth division assaulted the enemy's works, the Thirty-second was the first to plant its colors on the works.
