The company marched to Pana on that day and took the cars on the Central railroad. A good dinner was served up to the boys in blue at Pana. They moved by rail to Decatur, the same eve- ning, where they were jammed into two freight cars, and rolled away to Jacksonville. The company was mustered into service on the 25th of May, 1861, and went into quarters at Camp Dunean. The boys then opened the " mysterious box " sent along with the commissary department, filled with cake and other nice things. This disposed of, the company gave " three cheers and a tiger " to the ladies of Taylorville

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS.


FORTY-FIRST INFANTRY REGIMENT.


Company G., of this regiment, Francis M. Long, captain, was from Christian county. The officers of the regiment were: Isaac C. Pugh, of Decatur, Colonel ; Ansel Tupper, of Decatur, Lieutenant Colonel, killed at battle of Pittsburg Landing, April 6th, 1862. Capt. Francis M. Long, of Taylorville, promoted Major, and killed in action, near Jackson, Miss., July 12th, 1863. William C. B. Gillespie, of Grove City, in this county, Adjutant from March 17, 1862, till his time expired, August 20, 1864. John Baughman, of Christian county, Quartermaster from September 4th, 1863, till his time expired, August 20th, 1864.


This regiment was organized by authority of the Secretary of War, in July, 1861, at Decatur, Ill., on the 9th of August, 1861. August 7th, Captain Long's company, with the regiment, moved to St. Louis, Mo .; the 29th, moved to Bird's Point, Mo., and was assigned to the command of Gen. Prentiss; Sept. 8th, moved to Paducah, Ky. Assigned to Gen. C. F. Smith's command, Nov. 6, 1861, marched to Melbourne and returned ; to Lovelettsville, and returned Nov. 19th, 1861 ; to Crown Point, and returned Dec. 31, 1861.


Three members of Company G died at Paducah, Ky .; Corporal Wm. M. Petty, Oct. 13th, 1861, of typhoid fever, was brought home and buried, on Bear ercek, aged 23 years. Private, John M. Jordan, of the same company, died of measles, Dec. 22d, 1861 ; deceased were two of the five who volunteered from Bear creek; Jor- dan was buried at Paducah, Ky. Geo. B. Ryan, of Taylorville, died at Paducah, Ky., April 5, 1862, was brought home and now sleeps close to his captain, in the Oak Hill Cemetery, near Taylorville.


February 5th, 1862, the regiment took up its march for active service to Fort Henry, and on the 11th marched to Fort Donel- son, and was engaged in the siege under Col. MeArthur, on the 13th, 14th and 15th days of February, 1862. None of Company G were killed in this fight, and only eight wounded. Their names were: Ben. L. Bowles, of Rosemond, in his leg; Curtis Kimmer- man, of Bear creek, in the leg; Sergeant Robert W. Hopper, of Buckeye Prairie, in foot ; James Brown, of Taylorville, in finger, and the others slightly. Fort Donelson surrendered on the morning of the 16th of February, 1862.


The regiment, immediately after the surrender of Fort Donel- son, moved up the Tennessee river. The following letter from J. B. Young, a private in Co. G, under date of March 26th, 1862, to a friend in this county, we take from the Independent Press :


"We are now encampcd within a mile and a half of Pittsburg, Tenn., near the lines of the States of Mississippi and Alabama. There are about 100,000 men here in the heart of ' Dixie,' ready to move at an honr's notice upon the enemy. The Confederates are fortitied, about 80,000 strong, at Corinth, twenty miles west of us. If they do not evacuate their position soon, you will perhaps hear of a battle, compared with which that of Fort Donelson was child's play. When 200 000 men mect in conflict, ' somebody will get hurt.' Our course in all probability will be west- ward to the city of Memphis. This, however, is but the speculation of a 'high private,' in Uncle Sam's Army-rcar rank. The boys, from ex- posnre to wet, fatigne, hard crackers and bacon, are not in as good trim for the fray as might be desired. But the warm spring weather and the forwardness of vegetation, (for the peach trees have been in full blos- som for the past ten days, and the May apple ncarly ready to bloom,) is invigorating, and the health of the troops shows a marked improvement since we landed at this point. We were nine days aboard the steamboats, exposed to drenching rains most of the time. There were one hundred and thirty-two steamboats of thic largest class in the line, conveying the troops and inilitary stores up the river-the 41st Regiment and Co. G among the number. The conntry is rolling and heavily timbered. In the valleys and bottoms there are cane brakes and cypress swamps.


On the 24th Gen. Bnell's division of the army, from Cninberland Gap, by the way of Nashville, formed a junction with Gen. Grant's forces, at


Savannah, fifteen milcs bclow us, on the Tennessee river. If we succeed in taking Island No. 10, in the Mississippi, which we will most likely, Corinth will be evacuated for the purpose of strengthening Fort Ran- dolph and Memphis, ' we shall see what we shall see.'


The battle of Pittsburg Landing, or Shiloh, as named in official reports, was fought on Sunday and Monday, April 6th and 7th, 1862. It was a long and desperate conflict. Lieut. Jno. B. Butler, of Co. G., correspondent of the Independent Press, of Taylorville, gives the following graphic account of the two days' battle :


Gen. Grant has been concentrating his forces at this port for the last four weeks, preparatory to an advance upon the enemy's strong hold at Corinth, Miss. We were only waiting a junction with the troops under Gen. Buell to commence the march. The enemy, reported 130 000 strong, endeavored to cnt us off before Gen. Buell's arrival, and thereby command the navigation of the Tennessee river-give his troops the spirit and eclat of a victory-cheer and encourage the despondency of the enemy, replenish their exhausted ordnance and commissary stores, and fight Gen. Buell at their lcisure. They have been signally disappointed ; although they fought like devils incarnate for thirty-six hours.


On Sunday morning, about four o'clock, the enemy drove in our pick- ets, and the cannonading commenced with ronnd shot, shrapnel, shells, and other projectiles, grape, canister, etc. The enemy in force were in the camps almost as soon as were the pickets themselves. Here began scenes which hardly have a parallel in the annals of war. Many, particularly among the officers of the army, werc not yet ont of their beds; some were dicssing, others washing and cooking, and a few eating their breakfast. Many gnns were unloaded, accoutrements lying pell-mell, ammnnition was ill-supplied-in short the camps were completely sur- prised-and taken at almost every possible disadvantage.


The first wild cries from the pickets rushing in, and the few scattering shots that preceded their arrival, aroused the regiments to a sense of their peril; an instant afterward, rattling vollcys of musketry ponred through the tents, and before there was thonght or preparation, there came rushing throngh the woods, with lines of battle, sweeping the whole fronts of the division camps, and bending down ou either flank, the fine, compact columns of the enemy.


Into the just aroused camps of the union forces, thronged the confed- erate regiments, firing sharp volleys as they camc, and springing forward upon our laggards with the bayonct; for while their artillery, already in position, was tossing shells to the further side of the encampments, scores were shot down, as they were running, without weapons, hatless, coatless, towards the river. The searching bullets found other poor un- fortunates in their tents, and these, unheeding now, they sInmbered, while the unseen foe rnshed onl Others fell, as they were disentangling themselves from the flaps that formed the doors to their tents; others as they were vainly trying to impress on the critically exultaut enemies, their readincss to surrender. Officers were bayoneted in their beds, and left for dead, who, through the whole two days' fearful struggle, lay there gasping in their agony, and on Monday evening were found in their gorc, inside their tents, and still able to tell the tale.


Thns the battle raged by 8 o'clock in the morning. The roar of mns- ketry and rifles; the infernal din of two or three hundred thousand small arms continued all day, and ceased not till darkness pnt an end to the strife. Wc halted in line of battle, and remained there during the night, notwithstanding it rained torrents throughout the latter part of it. Col. Pugh commanded the First Brigade of the Fourth Division. Com- pany G, with the 41st regiment, in the Fourth Division, took thelr posi- tion in line of battle by 8 o'clock, A. M., the enemy showed himself, and commenced firing upon our battery, which replied promptly, and for two hours they kept np a most incessant roar. About 12 o'clock our battery changed position right in front of Co. G, of 41st regiment, Illinois vol- unteers, and for fifteen minntes kept up a brisk fire; but the eneiny dis- abled oue gnn, killed several gunners and horses, when the battery retired. This had drawn the grape and canister npon us, and several men were killed out of Co. G-not all, however, from Christian county- close by my side and iu my rear.


Our division was posted near the left wing of our lincs. For two hours and a half our regiment presented the appearance of a young volcano; nor did it give one inch of ground until our ammunition was exhausted, when we retired behind the second line, refreshed ourselves with water and replenished onr ammunition. Lieut. Col. Tupper, of the 41st regi-

ment, was killed early in the action. The command then devolved upon Maj. Warner, who led us during the remainder of the fight on Suuday afternoon.


The enemy outflauked us on the left, and drove us in until five o'clock in the afternoon, when one or two brigades of Gen. Buell's command landed from the boats, and a masked battery of heavy guus was planted, which opened in easy range : and such a caunonading from that time till dark was never excelled, if equalled, in modern warfare. The enemy's batteries were silenced, and they were forced to retire some distance for the night.


Gen. Buell's forces continued landing all night, and taking their posi- tion in the field, and as soon as daylight made its appearance, they "cried havoc, and let slip the dogs of war," aud kept it up till three in the afternoon of Monday, when the enemy broke and retreated from the field. Col. Pugh's brigade, on Monday, the second day of the fight, were posted in support of the right wing, and here it was that the heaviest fighting was done. The enemy had erected breast-works of fallen tim- ber, from behind which they kept up a severe firing for a long time, but we routed them at the point of the bayonet. In fact a great proportion of the fighting in the afternoon was with the bayonet.


Among the prisoners were several officers of distinction : and among the dead were the bodies of Gen. A. Sidney Johuson, of Virginia fame, and Gen. Bragg, of battery notoriety at Buena Vista. We lost many prisoners on Suuday, at tlre commencement of the battle. The enemy took many of our guns on the first day, but were retaken on the day fol lowing, together with forty of the enemy's guns.


Tuesday and Wednesday after the battle were occupied in burying the dead. The battle ground was covered, more or less, for three or four miles in diameter, with dead and wounded men and horses. Some twenty- five or thirty miles were fought over. The country was hilly and cut up by deep ravines. The enemy had the advantage of a thorough knowledge of the country, of its geography and topography, which our men had not, with the exception of the commanding generals.


About five o'clock of the first day's fighting, when we were marchiug to the right wing, to take position, Gen. Hurlburt paid the 41st regiment a very high compliment; many regiments were broken and in confusiou, and the General seeing us all in ranks in line of battle, called out, " What regiment is this ?" " 41st Illinois," was the response. " That is as it should be-the 41st is in line ! I expect always to find them in liue l"


The following letter was written by Capt. F. M. Long, on the 8th of April, 1862, after the battle, to his aged father in Taylor- ville, Illinois :


i


" Forty- six of iny company, G, went into the fight; and sixteen of the number were killed and wounded. The names of the killed werc : Geo. C. Funk, John C. Wright, Wm. J. Johnson, Win. II. Ready and Chartes A. Craimer. The wonuded were : Capt F. M. Long, slightly in the foot ; Lleut. John W. Cox, mortally, in the right thigh-died April 9th; Capt. Leander East, severely in the right shoulder; Gabriel Mckenzie, slightly, in the head: Gabriel C. Butt, seriously in the back; Win. L. Miner, slightly in the head; George Stanley, slightly in the face; Geo. Cahill, slightly in the ear; James Brown, slightly in the breast; Edmund Wil- son, severe wonnd in the left arm and bone broken, and Wm. J. Sissom, flesh wound in the leg.


" The killed fought bravely till they fell. The rest of my men went through unharmed; every one did his duty. I passed over the battle- fleld the next morning after the dreadful contest, and such a sight I never beheld before; dead men are lying all around over the gronud for miles."


After the battle of Shiloh, the regiment was next engaged in the siege of Corinth, Miss. July 6, 1862, marched for Mem- phis, via Holly Springs, Lagrange and Grand Junction; ar- rived at Germantown 20th, and at Memphis 21st July, where it remained till the 6th of September, and then marched for Boli- var, arriving on 14th of September; on 19th marched to the Grand Junction, aud returned October 4, and marched to Hatchie river. Ou the 5th of October, 1862, was reserved during the battle of Corinth. Ou 6th marched to Bolivar ; ou 7th marched from Boli- var, arriving at Lagrange Nov. Sd. Ou the 6th of November in Col. Pugh's brigade; moved out on a reconnoisance to Lamar ou


8th, and Somerville on 24th ; November 28, 1862, again marched to Lamar ; on 29th to Holly Springs; on 30th to Waterford. De- cember 10th, 1862, to Beaver creek; on 11th to Yocona creek, passing through Oxford and crossing the Tallahatchie ; on the 22d marched from Yocona to Water Valley, and returned via Oxford, Beaver creek, Tallahatchie, and arrived at Holly Springs, January 5th, 1863.


The 41st Regiment was in the first brigade, Col. Pugh ; fourth division, Brig. Gen'l Lauman ; right wing, Gen. MePherson ; 13th army corps, Maj. Gen. Grant. The regiment went into camp at Moscow, Tenn., and remained until March, 1863. On March 5th, 1863, ordered to Memphis, Tenn, where it arrived on the 10th. The regiment before this had been transferred from 13th army corps, Maj. Gen. Grant, to 16th army corps, Maj. Gen. Hurlburt commanding.


On 12th of April, 1863, proceeded on an expedition to Hernando, Miss. At Cold Water, seven miles beyond the latter place, met the enemy, under Gen. Chalmers. Here the 41st was under a heavy skirmish fire for about seven hours. On 16th returned to Memphis. Valentine Hinkle, of company G, died at Memphis. April 28th, 1863, moved to Vicksburg; disembarked at Young's Point ; on 19th, transferred to Gen. MeClernand's command. Was engaged in the siege of Vicksburg.


July 5, 1863, moved towards Jackson, Miss. Engaged in the battle of Jackson. The loss of the regiment in this action was 40 killed upon the field, and 122 wounded. Major F. M. Long fell, mortally wounded, while gallantly leading his men into action. This great sacrifice of life was by a mistaken order of Gen. Lau- man's. It was uncalled for, and effected nothing. Among the killed were Corp'l Elijah J. Shirrell, John H. Williams, Wm. B. Russell, John A. Orr, Wm. N. Robinson. Names of the wounded could not be obtained. After this disaster the regiment returned to Vicksburg on the 25th of July.


Nov. 18th, 1863, moved to Natchez, Miss., and remained until the 28th, when it returned to Vicksburg. Dec. 3d, 1863, marched to Big Black river, where it remained and erected winter quarters ; the 41st regiment being in Ist brigade, Gen. Thomas Kirby Smith ; fourth division, Gen. M. M. Crocker ; 17th army corps, Maj. Gen. James B. McPherson commanding veterans and recruits of the 41st Ill., consolidated with the 53d regiment.


The 41st mustered out Angust 20, 1864, at Springfield, IHI. Number in the regiment 1,211.


Such is a brief and hasty sketch of the movements of the 41st Illinois regiment, in which was company G, Capt. F. M. Long, from Christian county.


A brief account of the early formation of this company and the obstacles it had to encounter, may be a matter of interest. Capt. F. M. Long, ou his own motion, commenced recruiting for a com- pany, in July, 1861, to be attached to Col. I'ngh's Regiment, form- ing at Decatur. The Independent Press says :


" A meeting, to further the Interests of the movement, was held in the Conrt-house, on the afternoon of the 26th of July, 1861. Addresses were made by Elder A. McCollm, Capt. Vandeveer, and Dr. Gondy. It was stated that the pay would be liberal -- 320 acres of land: a bounty of $100, besides the regular wages in the army. The boys of the company styled themselves 'Uncle Sam's Nephews.' Among those enlisting was Samnel Wydick, an old settler of this county, and 81 years old. Hle reported his age at 41, and passed muster. He was in the war of 1812; and also in the Black Hawk War. He is apparently as active as any man in the company. and endured the hardships incident to a life in the tented flek, with as much spirlt as most of his younger companions in arms. lle died in the Hospital at St. Louis, on the 22d of April, 1862. Peace to the oldl warrlor's ashes."
