wounded. This was an impotent and fruitless attack on the most superb for- tifications of the south. The sluggish waters of the bayou covered the entire rebel front, behind which rose the lofty bluffs of the Yazoo. Here the labor of thousands of slaves had been devoted to the complete fortifications of the line for months, until it was perfectly im- pregnable to the simple assault, yet General Sherman dared the awful hazard of the battle, and hurled column affer column of infantry upon them in sim- ple, useless slaughter. In obedience to orders the men plunged into the bayou, . where both banks were covered by tan- gled abatis, and where the bayou pre- sents a quicksand bed 300 feet wide, con- taining water fifteen feet wide and three feet deep. The rebel rifle pits beyond were filled with sharpshooters, whose every bullet drew blood; his gunners had the range of the ford, such as it was, and poured grape and canister into their dauntless but rapidly decimated ranks. Toiling like heroes, they essayed to stem the storm until an order was received to fall back, It was raining all the time, and stung by the consciousness that they had fruitlessly thrown away many valuable lives, they retired sul- lenly from the contest. During the rainy night which followed the battle, our men stood or lay without fire in the swamp bordering the execrated bayou, but next morning they were embarked and returned Milliken's Bend. On the 10th and 11th of January, 1863, they took part in the reduction of Arkansas Post, or Fort Hindman, as it is some- times called, where they, as usual, dis- played their high courage and valor.

After the fall of this place they marched to Young's Point, in front of Vicksburg, which camp they reached on the 22d of January. Here they lay, taking part in the digging of the canal at that place, which General Grant had caused to be made, and which proved to be such a lamentable failure.

The regiment participated in all the the engagements that led to the fall of Vicksburg, losing in all, from May 16 to July 4, eight killed and thirty-nine wounded. Encamped on Black river near Vicksburg, until September 27,when it embarked for Memphis, and moved out with the army past Corinth to Iuka. From Iuka it was with the reconnoiss- ance to Tuscumbia. October 30, marched from East Point to Chattanooga; arrived November 21, and during the night of the twenty-third, with the rest of the brigade, manned a fleet of pontoon boats in North Chickamauga creek, four miles above Chattanooga, and in the midst of rain and intense darkness, with muffled oars, descended and crossed the Tennes- see river, and captured the enemy's picket line. - November 25, marched with Sher- man to the relief of Knoxville; returned and camped successively at Bridgeport, Bellefonte, and Larkinsville during the winter, and at Larkins' landing during the spring, at which place the regiment veteranized, and returned to Illinois on a furlough of thirty days. June 27, 1864, participated in the assault on Kenesaw mountain, Georgia, losing fifteen killed and thirty-three wounded. On July 22, the regiment was again engaged, with an effective force of two hundred and thirty-nine men, and came out of the en- gagement with one hundred ond eighty.

In the siege of Atlanta the regiment's loss was seven killed and eighteen wounded. In the battle of Jonesboro, Georgia, August 31, 1864, lost twenty- tliree men.

In a short campaign of about two months, the whole regiment lost about one-half its number.

The regiment joined in pursuit of Hood through northern Alabama, and returned to Atlanta, when one hundred and sixty-two non-veterans were dis- charged. It soon left for Savannah with the 15th army corps. In what is called the battle of Bentonville the 55th lost eight men more. It marched with the glorious army of Sherman's from here to Richmond, and from that city to Washington, where it participated in the grand review, and then removed to Louis- ville, where it remained in camp a few weeks, and then by steamer went to Little Rock,, Arkansas, where, August 14, 1865, it was mustered out of service, and on the 19th left for Chicago, and arrived on the 22d, and received final payment and discharge.

During its term of service the regi- ment marched 3,374 miles.

This county was represented by one hundred and twenty-five men, in four different companies of the 55th, of whom three were killed, fourteen died and sev- enteen wounded.

FIFTY-NINTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY.

Among one of the first companies or- ganized in McDonough county was the one raised in tke western part of the county by Captain B. M. Veatch, who was commissioned August 5, 1861. As an independent company it was sent to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where it re- mained until September 18, 1861, when, upon the organization of the 9th Mis- souri infantry it was assigned to that regiment. This was entirely composed of Illinois companies, and on the 12th of February, 1862, by order of the war de- partinent its name was changed to that of 59th Illinois infantry. Previous to this, when known as the 9th Missouri, it was ordered to Jefferson City, and early in October, 1861, it moved to Boone- ville, and was brigaded with the 37th Illinois infantry, the 5th Iowa infantry, " 1st Kansas infantry and Davidson's Illi- nois battery. The brigade was under the command of Colonel J. C. Kelton, and the division to which it was· at- tached,by Brigadier-General John Pope, The campaign of 1861 and early part of

1862, was passed in Missouri, on the 13th of March of the latter year, participat- ing in the siege of New Madrid. On the 20th day of May, 1862, the regiment embarked for Hamburg Landing, Ten- nessee, and from there moved toward Farmington, on the 27th. After the evacuation of Corinth, they pursued the enemy. In June it marched into Mis- sissippi, and in August to Florence, Alabama. Thence to Franklin, Tennes- see; from there to Murfreesboro, arriv- ing September 1, 1863. On September 3, commenced the northward march with General Buell's army, arriving at Louis- ville on the 26th. October 7, met the enemy at Chaplin Hill, near Perryville. On the 8th they were heavily engaged, losing 113 killed and wounded out of 361 men men going into action. Pursued the enemy on the 10th. Arrived in Nash- ville November 7, and camped at Edge- field, near which they remained during the year.

December 25, skirmished toward No- lensville. On the 26th, the army of the Cumberland was put in motion for the Stone river campaign, and the 59th were employed as skirmishers, and drove the enemy nine miles. They took active part in the attack on Nolensville. On the 29th they marched toward Murfrees- boro; here the enemy were found in force and entrenched. An unsuccessful attempt was made to drive him from his position, and the regiment lay during the night of the 30th within a few hun- dred yards of the enemy's works. Early on the morning of the 31st, the enemy turned the right flank of the 20th corps. The 59th changed front to rear, and sup- porting the 5th Wisconsin battery, for a

long time held the enemy in check, and when it was withdrawn, brought with it the guns of the battery, from which the horses had all been killed. It was then put in position on the Murfreesboro pike, which it held until January 2.

The regiment forded the river, swollen by recent rains, and assisted in driving. back the enemy, and held their position in the extreme front until the morning of January 4, when it re-crossed Stone river, and the enemy evacuated Mur- freesboro. June 23, 1863, the Tullahoma campaign was commenced, and the 59th took a hand therein. August 30, it left Stevenson, crossed the Tennessee river, and ascended the Sand mountain. Then marched to Lookout valley. Arrived at Chattanooga September 22. Distance marched from Stevenson, 122 miles. It was active in the Lookout mountain campaign.

On the 1st of December, they came to the charnel house, and buried the dead from the battle field of Chickamauga, of September 19 and 20.

January 12, 1864, the regiment mus- tered as a veteran organization, and ar- rived at Springfield, Illinois,on furlough, February 10, and on March 19 was reor- ganized. It took part in the Atlanta campaign. On July 12 the regiment crossed the Chattahoochie, and pre- sented itself before the fortifications around Atlanta, and from that time until the 25th of August, it assailed the works of the enemy, and was under fire day and night. On the 1st of November, they marched to Pulaski. On the 29th, ' the brigade attacked the enemy in the flank, as it was marching toward Spring Hill. The fight continued all day, and

at night the 59th marched 20 miles, and reached Spring Hill on the morning of the 30th. Here, resting but one hour, it marched to Franklin, and during the afternoon the battle of Franklin was fought. December 1, arrived in Nash- ville, and on the 15th the battle of Nash- ville commenced. The 59th was in the first line of the assaulting column here, and planted the first colors on the cap- tured works. In the afternoon it assaulted and carried the enemy's works near Hillsboro pike. December 16, the mem- orable assaults on Overton's Hills were made; here the regiment lost in killed and wounded one-third of its number. July 9, arrived at New Orleans, marched to San Antonio, and was stationed at New Braunfels, Texas, until December 8, 1865, when it was mustered out.

THE SIXTY-FOURTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY.

Cordell, James, Flack Alexander,

The first battalion " Yates sharpshoot- ers " was organized at Camp Butler, Ill- inois, in the month of December, 1861, by Lieutenant-Colonel D. R. Williams. It consisted of four companies, to which were added two others the last of the month. January 10, 1862, the battalion was ordered to Quincy, where it was armed, after which it was ordered south. Near New Madrid they had their first engagement with the enemy on the night of March 12. Was engaged at Fort Pillow, Corinth, Kenesaw, Atlanta, and a great many other battle-fields. No more effective duty was done by any regiment during the war, it being al- ways in the front. Their loss, as far as known, in killed and wounded, was two hundred and eighty-nine men; of those dying in service we have not the num- ber. The regiment was continually on the go, traveling with Sherman to the sea, thence around through North Caro-

lina, and then on to Washington, where they were in the grand review, May 24, 1865. They were discharged at Chicago, July 18, 1865.

There were three companies repre- sented from McDonough county in this regiment-A, D and F, and a total of eighty-five men.

John Jacobs, a member of company D, was captured near Atlanta, and, with other prisoners, was hurried south un- der a strong guard, their captors follow- ing the line of railroad. The prisoners were made to occupy the railroad track as far as possible, while the guard rang- ed upon either side.

A short time before the capture the government furnished our soldier boys with shirts of unbleached cotton, which, in the twilight, looked not a great deal unlike the butternut of the rebels. This fact was quickly discovered by young Jacobs, who determined, if possible, to take advantage of it.

On either side the guard was a num- ber of rebel soldiers, who had been slightly wounded, and who were being sent to the rear. As twilight began to settle around them, Jacobs began to limp slightly and fall slowly behind, and soon was in the very midst of the guard, who, from his clothing, judged him to be one of their number going to the rear. Occasionally he would limp di- rectly in the way 'of one of them, who, cursing him, would tell him to fall be- hind. This was just what he wanted, and what he continued to do until he was the very last of the party proceed- ing southward. As soon as he thought his absence would be unnoticed, he turn- ed and fled in the direction from which

he came. Not knowing the direct way back, he was forced to continue along the line of the railroad. He succeeded in passing the infantry out-posts with- out alarming them, but came near being recaptured when he reached the cavalry pickets. In passing through the woods the underbrush beneath his feet would break, and notice was thus given of his presence. Although unseen, the com- mand rang out to halt, and several shots were fired in his direction, one ball graz- ing one of his ears. No further sound being heard, the pickets thought the noise was made by a hog or other ani- mal passing through the timber, and made no further efforts to discover its source, which was indeed well for him. They then rode off and he proceeded on his way.

When daylight came he dared not proceed further for fear of capture, but lay down in the tall weeds by the side of the railroad track, and all day long the rebels marched over the road and on either side of him, many of them pass- ing so near he could easily have reached out and grappled with them. This he "was many times tempted to do, that he might wrest from them a gun with which he might defend himself if ne- cessary, and also to get hold of their canteens, for he was almost suffocating with thirst. It was well for him that he restrained himself, for if he had attempt- ed to grapple with one he would surely have been discovered and his recapture made certain.

When night came on he made his way to a house and boldly asked for some- thing to eat, telling the people he was a confederate spy. The family were very

glad to render him such service as they could, and gave him a supper which he certainly appreciated, not having had anything to eat for about thirty-six hours. While the meal was preparing and while eating, he plied the family with questions as to the location of the Yankee army, the best road to reach it, etc., obtaining all the information they were able to give. He then asked for the loan of a mule and a gun, stating that when near the enemy's lines he would turn the mule loose, and let him return home at once, and the gun he would return the first favorable oppor- tunity. Yes, he could have the best mule on the plantation, and an excellent gun, which he need be in no hurry to return if they could be of service to the glorious cause. Thanking his kind host for the favors sliown, he rode forth to- ward the lines of the Union army.

After riding all night he came to a house, and hitching his mule in the front yard, he went in and asked for break- fast, first depositing his gun by the door, that lie might not necessarily alarm the family, and where he could easily reach it when necessary. To this family he told the same story of being a confeder- ate spy on his way to the enemy's camp, and from the lady of the house he learned the picket line of the Union army was but a short distance from her dwelling.

While partaking of the nice warm breakfast which was prepared for him, he heard the tramp of horses upon the road, and rushed to the front window and looked out, but could not tell to which party they belong, but judging they were rebels intent upon his recap-

ture, started out the back way and made for the woods. He was quickly over- taken and brought back to the house. His kind landlady then witnessed against him that he had confessed to her he was a confederate spy, when they were about to hang him at once, without the form of trial. He told them not to be so fast, that he was a Union soldier who had been captured and made his escape from the rebels. His story they refused to believe, cursing him as a spy, and ar- ranging to at once put an end to his ex- istence. Finally better counsels pre- vailed and he was at once taken (not very gently) into the Union camp and before the general commanding, who questioned him as to who he was and where he was from. He replied, giving his name, company and regiment. The general then questioned him upon other matters, receiving direct replies, when he ordered him under double guard, that inquiries might be made as to the truth of his story, stating that he was either the man he claimed to be or else a spy.

Inquiry being made, it was learned that a captain of that regiment was then in hospital. He was asked if there was such a person as John Jacobs in com- pany D of his regiment. He replied there was, and stated he would be able to identify him on sight. Jacobs was then brought before him, and the recog- nition was mutual, and he was at once discharged. He then asked the party bringing him into camp for his mule and gun, which they refused to surren- der, when he at once complained to the general, who ordered them delivered to him. These he sold for $140; which was so much clear gain. The whole

affair showed that Jacobs was without fear, and a man of pluck and inventive genius. As illustrating the strict disci- pline of the regiment, the following in- cident is given: An order was issued by General Rosecrans, commander of the division, that no one should be per- mitted to pass the guards without the countersign, save a general in full uni- form. A gentleman, in a linen duster and broad brimmed hat, drove along a road on which a guard was stationed, when he was commanded to halt. Rein- ing up suddenly, he inquired why he was thus stopped. "Give the counter- sign," answered the guard. "Get out of the way, d-n you, I'm General Gordon Granger." "I have no means of know- ing whether you are General Gordon Granger or not, and you cannot pass here unless in full dress, or you give the countersign." Using a string of adjec- tives that would not appear well in print, he again asked permission to pass; when the guard told him he was not in a humor to be cursed, and that he must either give the countersign or turn, or he would at once arrest him and send him to the guard house. Upon this the party wheeled around, and soon appeared dressed in full uniform, when the guard gave the salute, and he was permitted to pass. The circumstance was reported to General Rosecrans, who reproved General Granger, and told the guard he did just right.

Few rebel battle flags were captured during the war, and it was always con- sidered a grand honor for any one to take one. In the last grand charge upon the enemy's works at Atlanta, Captain George W. Reid, who at the time was

acting lieutenant-colonel of the regi- ment, succeeded in securing one from a Texas regiment, and sent it home, where it remained in his house in Chalmers township about one year, when it was taken to Springfield by request of the adjutant-general; and it can now be seen in the "trophy room" of the state capi- itol, duly labeled, and credit given to Captain Reid. -
