singie regiment to cover the rear of the pursuing forces. Otherwise his whole brigade was left without orders.
"Despite the intention to disgrace Gen. Henry and his men, fortune now seemed to favor them. The men under Major Ewing, of the latter bri- gade, discovered that the trail hy which the maiu body of Black Hawk's forces had reached the river was iower down, and that they were much uearer than the point to which the twenty decoy Indians were leading the main forces. He who had heen placed in the rear as a mark of speciai disfavor, hy the strategy of a few savages, who had thus far triumphed over the veteran General, was now thrown again to the front, and weil did he make use of this favorable cir- cumstance. Gen. Henry, being notified of the discovery of the main trail, descending to the foot of the hluff, and there leaving his horses, prepared for an attack. The trail from there to the river was through drift wood, hrnsh and weeds. Eight men were ordered forward to the perilous duty of drawing the fire of the Indians, to ascertain where they were. Fully aware of their dangerous mission, they moved boldly for- ward nntil they were in sight of the river, when they were fired upon hy ahout fifty Indians. Five of the eight fell, either killed or wounded. Gen. Henry immediately ordered the bngle sonnded for a charge. The fifty Indians feil hack to the main hody, amounting in all to ahout three liun- dred warriors. This made the forces on both sides abont equal. The fight hecame general along the whoie line; the inspiring strains of the hugle cheering on the volunteers; the Indians were driven from tree to tree until they reached the hank of the river, fighting with the most snhlime courage, and contesting every inch of ground. At the brink the struggle was desperate, hut of short duration. The hioody bayonet in the hands of the excited soldiers drove them into the surging waters, where some tried to swim to the opposite shore, others only aimed to reach a small wiliow island.
"Ali this was done hefore the commanding Generai was aware that the volunteer Generai and men, whom he intended to punish for having found and defeated the Indians at the battle of the Wisconsin River, had again found and al- most exterminated the main hody of the enemy, while he was ieading the largest portion of his army after twenty straggling Indians, whom he had been shrewd enongh to detect in their false
movements. After the Indians had heen driven into the river, Gen. Henry despatched Major McConnel to give intelligence to Gen. Atkinson of his movements ; hut while pursuing the twenty · Indians, Atkinson had heard the firing of Gen. Henry's hrigade, and hastening to share in the engagement, met the messenger near the scene of action. Some of the newly arrived forces charged through the water to the island and kept up the fight until all were killed, drowned, cap- tured, or made their escape to the opposite shore of the river. It was estimated that the Indian loss amonnted to one hundred and fifty killed, and as many more drowned, including women and children. But fifty prisoners were taken, mostly squaws and papooses. The larger portion of the Indians had escaped across the river before the battie commenced. The American loss was seventeen killed and twelve wounded. This was calied the battle of the Bad Axe, hecanse it was fought a short distance helow the month of tlie river Bad Axe and ahove Prairie du Chien.
"Black Hawk, with his twenty followers, made their escape np the Mississippi and passed over to the Wisconsin River. They were finally cap- tured hy a party of Sionx and Winnehagoes, who professed to sympathize with Black Hawk and ilis followers. Black Hawk and his friends were delivered to Gen. Street, the United States In- diau Agent at Prairie du Chien, and sent by Col. Zachary Tayior down to Rock Island, whence they were sent to Jefferson Barracks, Mo., where a treaty was made. Black Hawk and his party were heid as hostages for the good hehavior of their trihe. They were taken to Washington City, and from there to Fortress Monroe, where they remained nntil July 4, 1833. They were then released, hy order of President Jackson, and es- corted to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and other cities, and returned hy way of the New York canal and northern lakes, thence to their own people, west of the Mississippi River. Black Hawk died, October 3, 1838, on the Des Moines River, in Iowa.
"The most remarkabie man engaged in that campaign was Gen. James D. Henry, and if that had heen an age of newspapers and reporters, he would have acquired a nationai reputation. That he was the hero of the two principai hattles fought in expeiliug the Indians in that campaign, was known heyond a doubt, and so well under- stood by the Illinois soldiers from all parts of the State, that the opinion was freely expressed

HISTORY OF SANGAMON COUNTY
that, if he had lived, he would have been elected Governor hy an overwhelming majority, against any other man. Strange as it may seem, he was scarcely heard of outside of the State."
The Sangamon County boys, having covered themselves with glory In the way they had re- sponded to the call to arms, bore more than their share in the campaign and took the most active and leading part in all the successful hatties and charges.
About the time of the Stillman Run disaster, Gen. Winfield Scott was ordered from the East with 1,000 regulars to join Atkinson, hut on ac- count of an outhreak of the cholera about the time of the arrival of hls force at Chicago, their progress was delayed, and It was not untli after the Battle of Bad Axe that he arrived at Prairie du Chien, there assuming command and sending the fiilnois volunteers to Dixon to he mustered out.
THE MEXICAN WAR.
On May 11, 1846, Congress passed an act de- ciaring that, "By the act of the Republic of Mexico, a State of War exists between that Government and the United States." This an- nounced the beginning of the war between Mexi- co and the United States, growing out of the annexation of Texas to the latter.
Illinois was called on for three regiments of rifiemen, and the pay with ali allowances piaced at $15.50 per month to the private soldiers. The militia of the State heing then In an unorganized condition, Gov. Ford Issued a call for thirty full companies of volunteers of a maximum of eighty men each, to serve for twelve months, and with the privilege of selecting their own company and regimental officers.
The response to the call was enthuslastic In the extreme. Within ten days thirty-five full companies had organized and reported. By the time the place of rendezvous had been selected (Alton), there had heen 75 companies recruited, each furious to go-from which Gov. Ford was compelled to select thirty companles (the fuli quota for the State), and forty-odd unsuccessful companies were doomed to the disappointment of remaining at home. These thirty companles were organized into three reglments, none of which contained auy Sangamon County hoys, so far as the records disciose.
Hon. E. D. Baker, then a Member of Congress from the Capital District, induced the Secretary of War to accept another reglment from this State, and thereupon the Fourth Illinois, was organized and mustered Into service on the 18th day of July, 1846, and the Third and Fourth Regiments served together in the same hrigade during their entire service. There were no Sangamon County hoys in the Third Regiment, but Company's A, B and D of the Fourth had a great many men from Sangamon County on thelr rolls. They were placed in Gen. Patter- son's Division and marched from Matamoras to Tampico, forming part of Gen. Shleld's force while he was In command of that city.
On the 9th day of March the Third and Fourth Regiments took part in the descent on Vera Cruz. Generai Scott says in his report, dated Vera Cruz, March 14, 1847 :
"I could not postpone the descent, successfully made on the 9th Inst., for half of the surf hoats, Brigadler-General Shields' Brigade (old Volun- teers from Tampico), or the wagons and teams which were then behind.
"That General landed with the army, having a smali part of one of his oid regiments (three companles of the Third Ills. Foot) and the New York regiment of new volunteers." (Message and Documents, 1847, p. 218.)
Gen. Scott was mistaken in attributing to the Third Illinois credit due to the Fourth. Though hoth regiments took part in the expedition it was companies A, F and G of the Fourth, under im- mediate command of Lleut. Col. John Moore, who made the landing referred to, Capt. H. A. Roh- erts, of Company C from Sangamon County, be- ing the first man to place his foot on the enemy's soll.
In the Battle of Cerro Gordo, the Third and Fourth, were hotly engaged, and gained great credit for their bravery. Gen. Scott In his re- port of the hattle to the Secretary of War, under date of April 23, 1847, says:
"Early on the morning of the 18th the col- umns, moved to the general attack and our suc- cess was speedy and decisive. . . . The hri- gade so gallantly led hy Gen. Shleid's, and after hls fall, hy Col. Baker, deserves his commenda- tlon for Its fine hehavlor and success. Cols. Forman and Burnett and Major Harris (Fourth Illinois) commanded the regiments ; Lieut. Ham- mond, Third Artillery, and Lieut. Davis, Illinois

Volunteers, constituted the brigade staff." (Mes- sage and Documents, 1847, p. 263.)
Brig .- Gen. Twiggs, who was in immediate com- mand of all the advanced forces, in a report to the General-in-Chief, dated April 19, 1847 (the day following the battle), says :
"Of the conduct of the volunteer forces under the brave General Shield's I cannot speak in too high terms. After he was wounded, portions of the three regiments were with me when I ar- rived first at the Japala road, and drove before them the enemy's cannoneers from their loaded guns. Their conduct and names shall be the subject of a special report." (Message and Documents, 1847, p. 276.)
From the report of Maj .- Gen. Patterson, com- manding the volunteer division at the Battle of Cerro Gordo, under date of April 23, 1847, and made to the commanding General, we extract :
"On the afternoon of the 17th, a rapid and continuous fire of artillery and infantry announc- ing that the Second Division of the regulars was closely engaged with the left of the enemy's lines, I was instructed and immediately directed the Third Volunteer Brigade, under Brig .- Gen. Shields, to proceed at once to its support. Before the brigade reached the position of that division, the action had ceased for the day ; the night was, however, occupied in establishing several pieces of artillery upon a height adjacent to the Cerro Gordo.
"Early on the morning of the 18th the brigade moved to turn the extreme left of the enemy's lines resting on the Japala road. This was done over rugged ascents and through dense chaparral under a severe and continuous flank fire from the enemy. Brig. Gen. Shields, while gallantly leading his command and forming it for the at. tack of the enemy, posted in force in his frout, feli severely wounded and was carried from the field.
"Col. Baker, Fourth Illinois Regiment, having assumed the command, the enemy's lines were charged with spirit and success by the Third and Fourth Illinois and the New York Regiment, "the respective Commanders, Cols. Forman and Burnett, and Maj. Harris.
"The rout now became general; the brigade pressed forward in rapid pursuit, leaving a suffi- cient force to secure the artiliery, specie, bag- gage, provisions and camp equipage left in our hands."
Later, in the same report, General Patterson says :
"The attention of the general-in-chief is par- ticuiarly called to the gailantry of Brig. Gens. Pillow and Shields, who were both wounded at the head of their respective brigades; and to Coionei Baker, who led Shields' brigade during a severe part of the action, and during the pur- suit ; and Lieut. G. T. M. Davis, Illinois Vol- unteer Aid-de-Camp to Shield's brigade."
The loss of the Fourth Illinois was five killed and 43 wounded.
Soou after the Fourth Regimeut returned by vesseis to New Orleans and was there discharged during the 23rd to the 25th day of May, 1847, Then followed another period of peace, during which there was a continuous organization of new military companies, which disintegrated, com- bined and reorganized, playing a prominent part in the social life of Springfield and Sangamon County.
These military organizations grew very active as the Civil War approached, and to a philos- opher present au interesting phenomenon.
Their doings should somewhere be collected but the troops of Sangamon County have such a glorious record in active service that the space allotted in this volume does not permit the pre- , senting of a history of their doings in time of peace.

HISTORY OF SANGAMON COUNTY
CAN WAR-ROSTER OF VOLUNTEERS FROM SANGA- MON COUNTY.
(By William J. Butler.)
The story of the occupation of Cairo hy a force of 595 State Militia, under command of Gen. R. K. Swift, within one week after the sur- render of Fort Sumter, has been concisely told under the head, "War of the Rebellion," in the "Historical Encyclopedia" portion of this work. This event was followed a few days later hy the organization of six regiments (the Seventh to the Twelfth, Inclusive), under the first call for 75,000 troops issued hy President Lincoln, under date of April 15, 1861, each regiment heing mus- tered into the service for a period of three months.
To present a complete history of the part taken by citizens of Sangamon County during the con- test of four years which followed, would he to describe at length their valorous deeds on many hloody hattle fields, hut the space allotted to the topic in this volume renders it impossible to suh- mit more than a concise summary of important events, with a list of the troops from the coun- ty, who served In the struggle. This list is com- piled from the report of the Adjntant General, having been revised, when possible, hy some one. familiar with the facts.
From the list here presented it will he seen that of the 155 Infantry regiments organized in the State of Illinois during the Civil War, Sanga- mon County was represented in about one-half., as also In every cavalry regiment from the First to the Sixteenth, its largest representation in the Infantry regiments heing in the Seventh and One Hundred and Fourteenth, and of the cavalry regiments, in the First and the Tenth. The county was liberally represented in many other infantry regiments, as well as in the Spring- field Light Artillery.
SEVENTH INFANTRY.
The Seventh Illinois Volunteer Infantry is credited as having heen the first regiment or- ganized In Illinois under the first call issued hy President Lincoln for troops for three months service. The muster in took place at Camp Yates, just west of Springfield (the first State
Fair Grounds), April 25, 1861, hy Capt. John Pope, U. S. A., John Cook of Springfield, being commissioned as its first Colonel. The other field and staff .officers from Sangamon County were: Thomas G. Moffett, Adjutant; Danlel L. Canfield, Quartermaster; and Richard L. Met- calf, Surgeon. The companies recruited from Springfield and vicinity were Companies G and I. Owing to the fact that all the companies were mustered in at Springfield, there has heen some confusion in the Adjutant General's report, sev- eral of the companies from other parts of the State being credited to Springfield and vielnity. It is but just, therefore, to say that Company A was from Elgin and vicinity ; Com- pany B, from Mattoon and vicinity ; Company C, from Aurora and vicinity ; Company D, from Litchfield and vicinity ; Company E, from At- lanta and vicinity ; Company F, from Bunker HIll and vicinity ; Company H, from Lincoln and vicinity ; and Company K, from Carlinville and vicinity. Immediately after organization the regiment was forwarded to Alton, St. Louis. Cairo and Mound City, where it served out its term of three months.
On July 25, 1861, the three months having expired, the regiment was reorganized and mns- tered in for three years hy Col. T. G. Pitcher, U. S. A., Col. John Cook again being in com- mnand, the regiment proceeded to Ironton, Mo., and there joined the command of Gen. B. M. Prentiss, a month later marched to Cape Girar- dean, where It remained some time, hut still later went into winter quarters at Fort Holt, Ky., op- posite Cairo, Col. Cook commanding the winter quarters and Gen. Grant heing in command of the district. In the fall it took part in a re- connoitering expedition under Gen. Grant in the rear of Columbus, Ky., and at the time of the Battle of Belmont was sent to Elliott's Mills above Columhus.
On Fchruary 3, 1862, it emharked to Fort Henry and later took part in the siege of Fort Donelson, Lieut. Col. Bahcock then commanding, and Col. Cook heing In command of the hrigade. The loss at Fort Donelson was three killed in- clnding Capt. Mendell of Company I, and 19 wounded.
After the capture of Fort Donelson the regi- ment procceded to Clarksville, Tenn., later to Nashville, and finally to Pittshurg Landing, where It took part In the battle of Shiloh, April 6-7. Lieut. Col. Rowett was then in command,

Col. Babcock being sick, and Col. Cook having been promoted to Brigadier-Generai on March 2nd. The loss of the regiment at Shiloh was two commissioned officers and 15 men killed and 79 wounded.
In May, as a member of the Third Brigade, Second Division, it participated in the siege of Corinth, and after the evacuation of that place by the enemy, marched to Farmington and Booneville, Miss., but later returned to Corinth and took part in the battle there, October 3rd and 4th, Col. Babcock, again being in command. Its loss at Corinthi amounted to two officers and six men killed, 46 wounded and 21 prisoners. In December it joined In the march to Lexing- ton, Mo., in pursuit of guerrillas, but returning south in April, 1863, marched with Gen. Dodge's command through Iuka and various other points in Mississippi to Bear Creek on the Alabama State line, later moving to Tuscumbia. and on May 2d, returning to Iuka. For the next two weeks it was engaged In guarding railroads and scouting in West Tennessee, had some skirmishes and captured some prisoners, but suffered small losses, for a part of this time being under com- mand of Col. Rowett and co-operating with the Seventh Kansas Cavairy. In October it pro- ceeded to Iuka, and during the next few weeks was engaged in scouting duty, in the meantime capturing a number of prisoners and inflicting other losses on the enemy.
On December 22, 1863, the regiment re-enlisted as veterans at Pulaski, Tenn., was mustered in January 6, 1864, and immediately departed for Springfield, on a thirty-days furlough, and there inet an enthusiastic reception. While at Camp Butler, it was reinforced by 200 recruits. Re- turning to Pulaski, Tenn., it was mounted and spent most of its last year's service in guarding railroads and scouting duty, rendered important service in defending Allatoona Pass, and took part in the "March to the Sea" and the Grand Review at Washington, being finally mustered out at Louisville, Ky., July 9, and discharged at Springfield two days later.
The first regiment to be mustered into the ser- vice in Illinois, it was also the first to veteranize, In both cases setting an example of patriotism to the whole country.
