was situated. Winslow, at the head of his troops as they filed through the streets, was proud and happy. He must bid his wife and children farewell before departing for the field of glory; so "halt " was sounded along the line. The Colonel dismounted and entered his house for the last time, perhaps, as he thinks. He had no sooner dis- appeared than the command of "Forward, march" was given, in smothered tone, and the halting columns moved on. Soon "Quick march " rang out on the clear morning air. " What does this inean ?" enquired one of another. There were few who knew. Colonel Wins- low had lost his regiment. Soon the gallant Colonel steps from his house and mounts his steed to place himself at the head of his regi- ment, but to his utter amazement his men were gone. In hot haste he pursued and soon overtook them and attempted to take his place at the head, but he finds it and his authority usurped by an emissary from Colonel Berge, who flatly refused to yield; and Colonel Wins- low is coolly informed that by virtue of the unanimous choice of the line officers he had been chosen commander to conduct the regiment to the rendezvous of Colonel Berge's sharp-shooters. Winslow re- turned to his camp an angry and sorrowing man, where he played Colonel with none but the disobedient Knox county company. Smith, seeing that his plan of raising a full company was questionable, and it being the wish of his men to engage in the artillery service, he no- tified them that he would be on the midnight train bound for Chi- cago, and that he had transportation for all who desired to go. The officer of the guard for that night was friendly to the movement; so such disposition of the guard was made as would be most favorable to the stampede. At midnight General Smith stepped on board the train; at the same time, from the side opposite to the depot, every Knox county man in the Princeton camp jumped on. They went in a body to Camp Douglas and joined Captain A. C. Waterhouse's bat- tery, Company E, Light Artillery. Colonel Winslow appeared at the camp and demanded that the men should be returned; but it was never done.
THE 102ND.
At a meeting of the officers and soldiers of the 102nd Infantry, well known as the regiment of the " OLD DEMOCRATIC WAR-HORSE," on the 17th of March, 1863, at Gallatin, Tenn., the following resolu- tions were read and unanimously adopted by the entire regiment, without one dissenting voice, as expressive of their true feelings in regard to the war, its conduct, and the acts of the government to carry it on.

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
We, the officers and soldiers of the 102nd Regiment Ills. Vols., assembled in our camp at Gallatin, Tenn., on the 17th of March, 1863, to our loyal brethren in arms, throughout our country, and to our friends at home, greeting. First,
Resolved, That we are fully determined in our " innermost heart of hearts" that the government of our fathers and the union of our States must and shall be triumphantly sustained and perpetnated to our children; Second,
Resolved, That while we are having a large share of sympathy and kindly feeling towards many brave men in the South, who are the dupes of lying demagogues, and misled by traitors whom ambition hath made mad, still we must meet them with the only weapons they will regard, the implements of war; Third,
Resolved, That we regard the leaders of the rebellion at the South as the " spawn of hell itself," for whom no justice, human or divine, can be too severe; that neither in abolitionism at the North, nor in their own unbridled thirst for power, is there the least semblance of justification for their course; and they are they whom God and history will hold responsible for this war in which we are engaged; Fourth,
Resolved, That the thought of their succeeding in their infamous schemes no true patriot will entertain even for a moment; that to prevent it no sacrifice of property or blood can be too great; that, to yield to them while there is any one left to fight would entitle us justly to the scorn and contempt of mankind, and be an insult to the memory of our fathers and a mockery of our dead brothers who have already fallen ; Fifth,
Resolved, That any call for peace, for armistice, or compromise with armed men who sneer at any terms except the destruction of our government, is to ensnare, to beguile, and to cheat; Sixth,
Resolved, That though it may be that for our sins God in His wrath is passing us through the baptism of fire, still we cannot believe He will allow us to be utterly consumed; for not with blasphemous pomp, but reverent faith, we exclaim, "Into thy hands, O God, we commend our cause;" Seventh,
Resolved, That we are not politicians, but citizen soldiers fighting for the best interests of the human race, and against those who upon the destruction of our now free government would establish a tyrannical oligarchy, depending upon force for its maintenance, and fatal to all human freedom, independent of color or race; Eighth,
Resolved, That there is as much good sense in making the inferior negro help us in our struggle for free government in any way which his capacity will admit of as there is in the rebels using him in their
311
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
struggles for despotism, and we will not weaken our struggle for American freedom, from any squirmish regard to the desire that rebels may have,- that nobody shall use negroes but themselves; Ninth,
Resolved, That, though happily desertions are few, we regard it the duty of our friends at the North to discountenance by all practical means all desertions, and to use all available means to have deserters returned to their respective commands; Tenth,
Resolved, That we are amidst enemies, with our numbers constantly diminishing by the casualties of war; therefore we hear with de- light of the efforts of the government to fill the decimated ranks of our armies, upon whose efficiency alone the safety of our government de- pends. Hence we regard the passage of the late conscript law as eminently wise, expedient and just; Eleventh,
Resolved, That we, utterly repudiate those public presses of the North which persistently vilify our officers in the field, and by constant carping at the government seek to weaken its hold upon the affec- tions of the people, and thus injure us more than they could with arms in their hands in open warfare; Twelfth,
Resolved, That for ourselves, come weal or come woe, we will fight treason to the bitter end; that by every consideration dear to man we will sustain our country in this struggle for life, or we will perish with her.

HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
17th INFANTRY.
The 17th Reg. Ill Inf. Vols. was mustered into the United States service at Peoria, Ill., on the 24th day of May, 1861. Left for Alton, Ill., late in July, proceeded to St. Charles, thence to Warrenton, Mo., where it remained about two weeks. The regi- ment left Warrenton for St. Louis and embarked on transports for Bird's Point, Mo .; thence to Sulphur Springs Landing; debarking, went to Pilot Knob, Mo., in pursuit of Gen. Jeff Thompson, and joined Prentice's command at Jackson, Mo., thence to Kentucky and aided in the construction of Fort Holt. Was then ordered to Cape Girardeau and were again sent in pursuit of Jeff Thompson; participated in the engagement near Greenfield ; returned to Cape Girardeau and performed provost duty until Feb. 1862. Were then ordered to Fort Henry; participated in that engagement and Fort Donelson, losing several men killed, wounded, and taken prisoners. Soon after, went to Pittsburg Landing and was assigned to the army of West Tennessee; engaged in the battle of the 6th and 7th of April, suffering great loss in killed and wounded; was in the advance to Cornith; after the evacuation of Corinth, marched to Jackson, Tenn .; remained until July, when they were ordered to Bolivar, where they remained until Nov. 1862, participating during the time in the expedition to Iuka to reinforce Gen. Rosecrans, where they were engaged in the battle of the Hatchie; marched to Lagrange, Tenn .; the middle of November reporting to Gen. John A. Logan, and were assigned to duty as provost guard. Early in December marched to Holly Springs, via Abbyville and Oxford. After the battle of Holly Springs were assigned to Gen McPherson's command, then proceeded to Moscow, Colliervil'e and Memphis, and were assigned to duty at the navy yard, remaining until June 16, then embarking for Vicksburg, re-embarking for Lake Providence, La , where they remain- ed until the investment of Vicksburg began. Went to Millikin's Bend, May 1, com- menced the march across the Delta to Pekin's Landing, advanced with McPherson's command to the final investment of Vicksburg. After the surrender of that city, remained there, making frequent incursions into the enemy's country until May, 1864, the term of service expiring on the 24th of May of that year.
The regiment was ordered to Springfield, Ill., to muster out, when those who had not re-enlisted as veterans received their final discharge. A sufficient number not having enlisted to entitle them to retain their regimental organization, were consoli- dated with the 8th Ill. Inf., and were finally mustered out with that regiment in the Spring of 1866.
There were 131 men from this county in the 17th, 4 were killed, 3 wounded, 8 died, '1 taken prisoner.
