EIGIITH CAVALRY REGIMENT.
The Eighth Cavalry Regiment was organ- ized at St. Charles, Ill., in September, 1861, by Col. Farnsworth, and mustered in the 18th. In October it moved to Washington, and in De- cember, to Alexandria, Va. The following March, it joined Gen. Sumner's division in his advance on Manassas, after which it guarded the Rappahannock till May. On the 4th, it moved to Williamsburg under command of Gen. Stoneham. June 26, it held the enemy under Jackson in check at Mechanicsville, after whichi battle a change of base was made by the Union forees, in accomplishing which the Eighth pro- tected the rear of the army by snecessful skir- mishes with the enemy. At Malvern Hill, it led the attack which was made on that place. August 30, 1862, it embarked at Yorktown and landed at Alexandria the 1st of September, from which place it took the offensive and eapt- ured 220 prisoners, two guns and the colors of the Twelfth Virginia Regiment.
It was next engaged at Antietam, and next at Martinsburg, after which it led the advance of the Army of the Potomac almost constantly, skirmishing with the enemy, till it reached Fal-
mouth November 23, 1862, after which it was on picket duty during the active operations that immediately followed.
The next year, 1863, its earnest work was redoubled, and the actions in which it was engaged may be enumerated as follows : Sul- phur Springs, April 14 ; battle near Warrenton, the 17th ; Rapidan, May 1 ; Northern Neck, the 14th ; Borstly Ford, June 9; Upperville, the 21st; Fairville, Penn., the 30th ; Gettysburg, July 1. It claims the honor of firing the first shot at this decisive battle ; Williamsport, Md., the 6th ; Boonsboro, the 8th ; Funkstown, the 10th ; Falling Waters, the 14th ; Chester Gap, the 21st ; Sandy Hook, the 21st; near Cul- pepper, Va., August 1; Brady's Station, the 4th ; a raid to Falmouth, the 30th ; Pony Moun- tain, September 13; Liberty Mills, the 21st ; Brady's Station, October 11; Manassas, the 15th ; Warrenton, the 30th ; Rexleysville, No- vember 8 ; Mitchell's, the 12th, and Ely's Ford, the 30th.
During the war, the following is a summary of the results of their arms, from official rec- ords :
Captured, wounded and killed of the enemy, 3,946 ; slaves liberated, 3,000 ; horses killed or captured, 4,110 ; mules killed or captured, 661 ; sheep killed or captured, 1,400 ; cattle killed or captured, 2,200 ; wagons captured, 280 ; smug- gling crafts destroyed, 208 ; 10 tons of ammu- nition ; 7 tons of leather, and 16 tons of pork captured ; 7 colors and 6 guns taken, added to which were cereals and small arms, valued at $2,000,000. These men were among the best soldiers in the war, whose bodies were hardened into clear musele and bone, by their unceasing activity, made effective by the indomitable courage that held their uplifted arms to the service.
This regiment was mustered out at Benton Barracks, Mo., July 17, 1865, and ordered to Chicago, where its remnant, less than one-third of its original number, received its final pay-
