CHAPTER IV.
THE BLACK HAWK WAR.
In 1831 a treaty was made by which Black Hawk and his tribes of Indians were to remove to the west side of the Mississippi river, and release all claim upon the east side. Emissaries of the British government, from Canada, induced the Indians to disregard the treaty and return to their former homes in Illinois. On the sixth day of April, 1832, Black Hawk, with his followers, crossed the Mississippi, bringing with them their women, children and prop- erty. He announced that his mission was peaceful-but no doubt his object was to reclaim the territory he had released under the treaty of the year before. Governor Reynolds, learning of the movement of Black Hawk, called for volunteers to repel the inva- ders. Eighteen hundred volunteers, under Whiteside and Rey- nolds, were mustered into service, and General Atkinson dispatched them in pursuit of the Indians. On the twelfth of May they reached Dixon's ferry, where they were joined by Major Stillman with 275 men. Stillman considered his command independent of Whiteside, and declined to join Whiteside's brigade. Stillman, with Major Baily, received orders to go to "Old Man's creek," now Stillman's run, to ascertain the movements of the Indians. The two battalions camped about ten miles from the ferry on the evening of the thirteenth, and on the morning of the fourteenth Stillman took command of both battalions, and continued in pur- suit until sunset, when they encamped in "front of a small creek" (Stillman's run) about thirty miles from Dixon. Black Hawk hearing of their approach, sent out three men to meet them and take them to his camp, that a council might be held; but the men were taken

prisoners. Five others were sent out for the same purpose, but two of them were killed. This aroused Black Hawk, and with about forty men he met the assailants-the main body of his war- riors being about ten miles away-and routed them completely, and in great confusion. Some of Stillman's men, it is said, did not stop until they reached Dixon. In the fight, Major Perkins, Capt. Adams, and nine men, were killed, one of whom, James Milton, was from Macon county. William Cox, and others from this county, had their horses shot.

THE MEXICAN WAR.
War was declared with Mexico in May, 1846, and Illinois, under the call for volunteers, was entitled to three regiments. The sheriff of Macon county, under the proclamation of Gov. Ford, called for the enlistment of volunteers. Under this call company C of what was afterwards the 4th regiment was raised, consisting of 78 men. When the company reached Springfield thirty companies had al- ready reported, and the three regiments were full. E. D. Baker* then a prominent man of Illinois, through the influence of Hon. O. B. Ficklin, our member in Congress, prevailed on President Polk to allow him to raise a 4th regiment from Illinois, and by this means the Macon county men entered the service. Mr. Baker was elected Colonel, Lieut. Gov. Moore was elected Lieutenant Colonel, and Thomas Harrist was elected Major of the regiment. The late Gen. I. C. Pugh was elected Captain of company C, and Senator R. J. Oglesby, Ist Lieutenant; Anderson Fromon, 2d Lieutenant; John P. Post, 3d Lieutenant; Stephen Osborn, ist Sergeant; G. W. Galbreath, 2d Sergeant; B. F. Oglesby, 3d Sergaant; B. L. Martin, Ist Corporal; James Hollingsworth, 2d Corporal; W. J. Usrey, 3d Corporal; and G. W. Nelson, 4th Corporal.

Company C marched from Decatur to Springfield about the middle of June, 1846, where the regiment was formed. After re- maining at Springfield a short time, the regiment marched to Alton, where arms were in store, which the regiment procured by a little maneuvering on the part of Col. Baker and Capt. J. S. Post. Col. J. J. Hardin, believing that he was entitled to these arms, stoutly protested against their appropriation by Col. Baker, and a wordy warfare ensued which came near resulting in a duel. From Alton the regiment was transferred to Jefferson Barracks, and there placed under charge of Col. Churchill, commandant, under whom it received thorough discipline and drill. About the 20th of July the regiment was mustered into service by Col. Crogan, of Fort Meigs notoriety. In a few days the regiment received orders and embarked for New Orleans, and thence to Brazos, Santiago Bay, four miles north of the mouth 'of the Rio Grande, where it disembarked. After remaining at this point for about a week, orders were received to march up the Rio Grande eight miles, where occurred the first death in Co. C, viz: Second Sergeant George Galbreath. As Col. Baker and a squad of twelve men, all from Macon county, detailed to bury Mr G., were about to return to camp, they heard a disturbance on board of a steamboat near by, and on arriving at the scene, they learned that an Irish company, in a drunken melee, had driven from the boat the Ken- nesaw rangers. Baker ordered his handful of men on the boat to quell the disturbance; but no sooner had he done so, than a hand-

to-hand encounter ensued, in which the colonel and his squad were soon overpowered and compelled to retire: but not without loss. Col. Baker received a rapier thrust, penetrating his mouth and ex- tending through the back of his neck; Capt. J. S. Post was wounded in the breast, having a rib broken; Charles Dillow,* killed; R. H. Stewart, bayoneted in the thigh; and seven others of the squad more or less injured. At this point orders were received to move still further up the river to Matamoras, on the Mexican side, where they remained a few days, and then moved on to Camargo, where a great deal of sickness ensued. Returning to Matamoras, they then marched to Victoria-marching on Christ- mas day forty-five miles. About the first of January, 1847, orders were received to March to Tampico, two hundred miles distant, at which place preparations were made for an attack on Vera Cruz. Taking ship at Tampico about the first of February, Vera Cruz was reached in sixteen days, and Company C assisted in the con- struction of the batteries and the bombardment of the city, which surrendered March 29. After the taking of the city of Vera Cruz, Scott's army marched for the City of Mexico, and en route met Santa Anna, at the mountain pass of Cerro Gordo, on the eighteenth of April, where a battle was fought. Company C had but forty-eight men in this engagement, two of whom were killed and ten wounded. The killed were J. C. Malson and George Nelson.
At this battle Santa Anna came near being taken prisoner, and in his effort to escape left in his carriage $25,000 in silver and his cork leg, which were captured by Company C, it being at the head of the brigade. The next morning ensuing the battle, Gen. Scott followed on to Jalapa, where Company C remained about a month, when the time of enlistment expired, and the company returned via New Orleans and St. Louis, arriving at home about the first of June, 1847, bringing with them the banner received from the citizens on their departure. They were very enthusiastic- ally received. A grand barbecue was prepared for the returning volunteers, and day of general rejoicing was had, still remembered with satisfaction by the participants.
*His last words were: " If I have got to go, the road to heaven is just as near from here as from Macon county."

HISTORY OF MACON COUNTY.
THE LATE WAR.
It is unnecessary in this connection, and, in fact, would consume entirely too much space, to give any details as to the causes of the rebellion. It is our purpose, rather, to give Macon county's record, as complete as we can, in the suppression of that rebellion. The long list of names following, of those who were sacrificed on the altar of their country, will sufficiently attest the patriotic impulses that actuated our people, and convince the most casual observer that Macon county, when called, was at her post and performed her whole duty valiantly.
In the succeeding pages of this chapter we give a brief synopsis of the principal engagements of the various regiments, together with a regimental and company roster, and the names, date of enlistment, discharge, etc., of those only who enlisted from the county.
SEVENTH ILLINOIS CAVALRY.
The 7th Cavalry was organized at Camp Butler, Illinois, and mustered into service Oct. 13, 1861. The companies A, C, I and G were directly ordered to Bird's Point, Missouri, where the other eight companies arrived on the 25th of December. Some time in January, all, except companies B, C, I and L, moved to Cape Gir- ardeau, Mo. Company I, to which most of the men from Macon county belonged, remained at Bird's Point, and were engaged in scouting during the winter. At New Madrid the regiment again united. Was at Island No. 10. After this moved to Hamburg Land- ing, Tennessee river, thence in the direction of Corinth. Was en- gaged in the battle of Iuka, and afterwards at Corinth, Oct 2d, 3d and 4th. Nov. 23, seven companies met Richardson near Somer- ville; Dec. 1, assigned to Col. Dickey's command of cavalry. At Holly.Springs, Miss .; followed Price as far south as Coffeeville and retreated. In Western Tenneessee. On the 17th of April, started on " Grierson's Raid" to Baton Rouge. Dec. 26th, the regiment fought the entire force of Forrest. In an engagement at Moscow, Tenn. Moved to Decatur, Ala. Returned to Nashville, and was mustered out of service, and received its final pay and discharge at Camp Butler, Ill., Nov. 17, 1865. Its period of service was about four years and three months.
