HISTORY OF SHELBY AND MOULTRIE COUNTIES, ILLINOIS.
The third battalion, Maj. Ruggles commanding, was the last to lcave Springfield. Reached Rolla Nov. 19. Here the regiment remained until December 29, when it moved in the advanec of General Curtis' army for the south-west. On the 13th of February, 1862, near Springfield, the third cavalry fought the first engage- ment, and won the first victory of Gen. Curtis' campaign. On the 14th of February, 1862, it occupied Springfield, Mo. On the 16th eame up with Gen. Priec's army, and took some prisoners. On the 18th at Sugar Creek, Ark., the third battalion participated in a cavalry charge, routing the enemy. It had various skirmishes and short marehes during the summer and fall in Arkansas, and west of the Mississippi river, when on the 23d of December, 1862, eom- pany M, with H and C, and other companies, reported to Gen. Steele at the mouth of the Yazoo river, formed part of the foree, and did good service in the disastrous attack on Vieksburg under Gen. Sherman. Company M was the last to leave the field and embark on the boats after the battle. In the spring of 1863, Col. McCrillis, with a battalion, moved to Memphis, and soon after, as a part of the thirteenth corps, this battalion took part in the battle of Post Gibson, Champion Hill, Black River Bridge, and the siege of Vieksburg. Aug. 16 reported to Gen. Banks, and bore a part
in the western Louisiana campaign, and at Vermilionville, Opelou- sas, and Carrion Crow Bayou. Aug. 21 a part of the third regi- ment participated in the repulse of Gen. Forrest, in his attack on Memphis. On Aug. 24, 1864, the non-veterans having been mus- tered out, the veterans were consolidated into a battalion of six companies. A large per eentage of the men in companies M and H from Shelby county went into the new arrangement, and the remainder were mustered out, their time having expired. The bat- talion took part in the battles with Gen. Hood's army in December, 1864, and operated below and around Nashville. Embarked for St. Louis in May, 1865; thence to St. Paul, Minnesota, reporting to General Curtis. On July 4 started on an Indian expedition over the plains of Minnesota and Dakota; north to the British line ; south and west to Devil's Lake and Fort Barthold, and re- turned to Fort Snelling Oct. 1, arriving at Springfield, Ill., Oct. 13, 1865, and was mustered out of service.
Such are some of the leading movements of the Third Cavalry Regiment, in which companies H, M and C largely participated. Few regiments of the war passed over, by marehes and otherwise, a greater area of country, or did morc active duty.

SEVENTH CAVALRY REGIMENT.
This regiment was organized in September, 1861, with William Pitt Kellogg, of Fulton county, as its colonel, since made prominent by his election to the United States senate. Shelby county was well represented in this regiment, in four companies. Company H was raised largely through Captain Milton L. Webster's efforts, and it
was almost entirely from this county. The 7th regiment bore an honorable part in the many engagements in which it participated in the late war (we regret there is no history of this regiment pre- served in the Adjutant-General's office), therefore our sketch is necessarily brief. We append a roster of the soldiers from Shelby county.
