habitant of the city of Macomb shall be entitled to any part of this appropriation unless the tax to pay the same shall have been levied upon the property of said city, as well as the property of said county.

For the payment of the above appropriations the clerk of the county court of McDonough county is hereby authorized and directed to draw his order on the treasurer of this county for the sum of three hundred dollars, payable in one year, and drawing six per cent. interest from date, in favor of each and every persons volun- teering, and credited to the several townships and wards of said county, or their respective orders; and also to each and every drafted man (after he shall have been accepted), or his order, so far as the same may be necessary to fill the quota of said county : provided, that any order for said sum of three hundred dollars may be made in amounts of fifty dollars, if required by the person entitled thereto. The certificate of the provost marshal of this district, as to the names of the persons volunteering or having been drafted, and as to the quotas of the differ- ent townships or wards of this county, sliall be sufficient evidence to the clerk to authorize him to act under the present appropriation.

Various substitutes were offered for the foregoing resolutions. Among others G. W. Provine offered one embodying the following objections: First, that it would be unequal and unjust for those that have sons, or that have sent sons un- der twenty-one years of age; second, that it is the duty and the privilege of every able-bodied man to respond to the call of his country in defense of his civil and religious liberties; third, that the making of such appropriations would in- volve the county in such a debt as would result in bankruptcy and ruin.

Previous to a vote upon the question the privilege was given to L. H. Waters, J. S. Bailey and James M. Campbell to

present their views. All the various substitutes were voted down, and the original resolutions of Mr. McSpirit were adopted. Mr. Hamilton afterwards (at March term, same year) endeavored to have passed a resolution exempting from taxation under the levy to raise money for the payment of the bounties certain classes, as follows: First, those who have been themselves in the service during the present war ;- second, those who may be widows or orphans of sol- diers who have served in the present war; third, those have hired substitutes in the present war previous to the pres- ent call; those from whose families mi- nors have gone out as soldiers during the present war.

This resolution was voted down.

It has been shown by official reports made by the county clerk to the state adjutant-general, that there were paid out by this county as bounty money the sum of $134,400. In addition to this, Mound township expended $5,860; Prai- rie City, $18,049.39; New Salem, $6,266 .- 50; a total for the county of $161,575.85.

ROSTER.

The following is a complete roster of the citizens of McDonough county, who in that trying hour of a nation's need, left wife, children and comfortable homes, and shouldering the musket, went to the front in discharge of the patriot's duty. These are compiled from the adjutant general's report, and other offi- cial and authentic sources. If there are any inaccuracies of spelling, or omis- sions, the historians hope that they will be pardoned, as the rolls have been fol- lowed as nearly as possible, and none

SECOND CAVALRY REGIMENT.

It is very difficult to write the history of a regiment of cavalry, owing to the usual detached state of each company from the regimental headquarters. The following official history of company H, of this regiment, which was raised in this county, will give some idea of its services in the field.

The company was organized at Ma- comb by J. D. Walker, and accepted by the governor, July 24, 1861, and went into quarters at Camp Butler, Spring- field, August 5, and mustered into the United States service August 12, 1861. It remained in the state until November 12, 1861, when it was ordered to Padu- cah, Kentucky, where it was partly. armed and equipped. From here the

company made several important recon- noisances into the interior of Kentucky. They were ordered to Columbus, Ken- tucky, March 11, 1862, being the first · union soldiers to enter that rebel strong- hold; here they remained until March 23, 1862, when they were ordered to Hickman, Kentucky. March 31, they were part of the force that attacked and captured Union City, then a rebel camp of instruction. Returned to Hickman, and remained until July 9, 1862, when they were ordered to Union City, thence to Crocket Station, and from there to Trenton, Tennessee, arriving June 18. Their duty while here was arduous, hav- ing considerable scouting to do, the country being alive with guerrillas. On July 27 they scouted toward Browns- ville, and for 17 days were continually skirmishing with the guerrillas. Re- turned to their camp at Trenton, and was ordered to Jackson, Tennessee, Aug- ust 25, and the 29th to Bolivar, Tennes- see, where they arrived on the 30th, and were immediately ordered into action, in which the noblest officer of the regi- ment, Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg was killed. The casualties of the regiment were heavy, but in company H were light. While in camp at Bolivar they scouted in Haywood county, destroying Captain Haywood's guerrilla band by capturing his camp, equipage, and forty men. The regiment was ordered to La- grange, Tennessee, November 5, 1862, from which they made several reconnois- ances, one in the direction of Lamar, where they brought on an engagement with the rebels, driving them away and taking possession of the field with eighty prisoner, company H meeting with slight

losses. On the 28th of November they took the advance of the army, moving through Holly Springs to Abbeyville, returned to Holly Springs December 2, aud went into camp. The rebel general, Van Dorn, made a raid upon Holly Springs December 20, 1862. After two hours hard fighting the rebels, with overwhelming numbers, drove this regi- ment from their place, it losing 160 killed, wounded and missing. January 1, 1863, ordered to Memphis, where they had an opportunity to recuperate some. On the 22d of February moved to Young's Point, arriving the 23d, and March 14 ordered to Milliken's Bend, where they remained until the movement on Vicks- burg commenced, this regiment taking the advance. March 31, moved on Rich- mond, Louisiana, where they engaged the rebels across the bayou, which, after about one hour's fighting, they captured. Left Richmond April 5, moving down Round Away bayou, skir- mishing with the rebel colonel, Hanson's, command. April 14, camped at Smith's plantation; moved from here crossing Videl and Mill bayous in flat boats, and encamped at St. Joseph, Louisiana, the 28th. Crossed the Mississippi at Bruins- burg May 1, and arrived at Big Sandy the 5th. The duties of this regiment were heavy, having to picket the front of Osterhaus, and Hovey's divisions, and watching the flanks at the battle of Champion Hills. May 16, 1863, they arrived at Big Black river, and the next day made the first reconnoissance in the rear of Vicksburg. They were engaged in scouting in the Yazoo val- ley until June 9, 1863, when they were ordered to Big Black Bridge,

on the Vicksburg and Jackson road remaining until July 5, when they advanced on Jackson. They skirmished heavily with the rebels four days, and arrived at Jackson on the ninth, and on the sixteenth were ordered to scout to Brookhaven, seventy-five miles below Jackson. Returned July 20, and were ordered to Vicksburg, where they ar- rived July 28, 1863. August 5, were ordered down the Mississippi river to Natchez, remaining until the fifteenth, when they were ordered to Carrollton, Louisiana, and September 5 to Mor- ganza, Louisiana, where they skirmished with the rebels fifteen days, and on the 29th the rebels brought on a general engagement, compelling them to retreat. October 9, 1863, they reported to Gen- eral Lee at New Orleans, and on the 15th left for Brashear City, arriving on the 17th, and at Franklin, the 18th, New Iberia the 19th, at Vermilionville, Octo- ber 20, 1863. On the twenty-first they advanced on the Bayou Teche road, and brought on an engagement with the enemy, meeting slight losses. Novem- ber 1, returned to Vermilionville, and on the 11th engaged the rebels at Car- rion Crow Bayou Crossing, one killed and three wounded. January 5, 1864, ordered to New Orleans to recuperate, they arriving on the 15th. The com- pany was mustered out November 22, 1865. There were in this company, from McDonough county, 91 men, four of whom were killed, four died, and four wounded.

After which the company par- ticipated in the siege and capture of Port Hudson, Louisiana, in June and July of 1863. A portion of the com- pany re-enlisted as veterans, February 9, 1864, under Captain Daniel Wilt, Lieutenants James Price and Lewis Pickel.

There were 185 officers and privates enlisted in this company-many being recruits-59 of this number were from this county. The company, although very active all during the war, did not suffer as many did, there being but five killed; sixteen died. The company was mustered out at Nashville, Tennessee, November 4, 1865. Mr. Clarke tells the following anecdote:

"J. L. Epperson, a member of this regiment, was not addicted to the use of profane language, and condemned it in others, but on one occasion the boys claimed that they had a famous joke on him. While in camp at a cer-

tain place he went down to a stream to get a drink of fresh water, and as he raised up from quenching his thirst, he was fired upon by a couple of bush- whackers, one of whom had a shot-gun and the other a musket. Although they were only about forty steps away, they failed to touch him, when he quickly drew his revolver, firing three shots at them as they retreated, and in all earnestness exclaiming: 'You playgonit cowards, you!' His comrades laughed at him for his conduct, telling him he had disgraced the noble 7th, in fact, the entire army, by his terrible swear- ing; that the rebels would think them an awful wicked set of fellows, to hear such oaths coming from a Union sol- dier,"
