During the last days of February, '62. the II. L. G. and Union Gnards played a vallant part in the total destruction of the rebel forces under Jeff Thomp- son. in the vicinity of New Madrid, Mo. On March 10th the 10th Reglment, of which A and B were a part, reported for duty to Genl. Pope, in front of New Madrid, Mo. On the night of March 11th, '62, the regiment. at 9 p. m., moves forward under cover of the shadows of the night. Companies A and B lead and drive lo the pickeis, taking positions with- in a few hundred yards of the batteries at New Mad- rid. On the morning of the 12th. the rebel, Gonl. McCall, throws forward a regiment to dislodge the boys, but the ol Guards were equal to their name. and wouldn't drive warth a cent. After a terrible fnsllade from the rebel batterles, and a thirty -six hours' combar. New Madrid fell Into our hands. For thus accomplishing the defeat of this stronghold, after Pope's army had falled on three occasions be- fore. Genl. Pope and the War Department issued "special orders " complimenting the "Guards. " and gave to the old 10th the honor of first occupying the rebel works. On Aprll 6tlt, the Jacksonville boys again woo new vletorles, by participating, with the aid of the 16th Ins. Vols. Inf .. In capturing near TIptonvlije, Tenn., the rebri general. McCall, four brigadiers, and 5,600 men, and two batteries of artillery. among which was the famous " Washing- ton Battery." of New Orleans. In this day's work Co. B. captured a small camp of one hundred men. of the 45th Tenn. C. S. A., under command of Capt. Allen, near Moon Lake. On April 12th the 10th Regt. embarked on the Polar Star, and proceeded down the river In advance of Pope's army of 40.000 men, and the following day landed near Fort Pdiow. For a wlili everything was in specniation as to our next move. On April 17th, on board the same steam- er. procceded up the river. landing on April 20th, at Paducah. Ky. Here Comnany B had to exchange their "grey ualforms," for the regulation U. S. blne. April 220. Companles A and B make It hot for the rebs on the Hainburg road, Miss. Each suc- ceeling doy until the final evacnation of Corluth. these companies were constin'y on the skirmish line. Co-operating with Yates' sharpshooters, at the battle of Farmington, Miss., May 3d. 1862. these two companles, with the conrage of the ancient Greeks, flang them sel ves pelt-mell Into the enemy's entrenchments. making the famous Kentucky brig- ade, under Genl. John C. Breckenridge, to retreat . and take refuge behind the batterles at Corinth. On May 8th. Companies A and B penetrated the reb- el lin-s until the Hardin Light Guards were so close that the en my hurled grape and canister to dis- lodge them, for which Geni. Halleck, sent his compliments to Capt. Smith. To follow the ser- vlees of those two companles in all their hard service, being always on the advance would re- quire more space than Is allotted to ns. hence It will be sufficient to say, that both companies distinguished themselves with their regiment at Corinth. Nashville. Oct. 5th, 1862. when Co. B repulsed an Alabama regiment of rebs. Lavergne, Tenn., on May 30th. '62. Co. B opens the way for a four-honrs fight at Tusembla River. MIss. ; the loss was bnt trifling compared to the enemy's.
In Angust. 1862. the oid 10th Regiment after a forced march of two hundred miles, camps at Tns- enmbia. Ala .. Aug. 31st. The regiment ordered to move and 10 destroy all camp and garrison equip- age. During the march from Inscumbia, Compa- nies A and B were continually exchanging shots with Biffle's guerrillas, and while the 42d Ilis. Inf. were passing through Coinmbla, Tenn., it was at - tacket in front and rear. As usual. Co. B. was sent In has'e. and a few weil-directed shots from thelr "minnies," made the Johnnies hunt their holes. Arriving at Nashville on Sept. 15th, and relieved the 9th O. V. I., of Thomas' division. Co. B was as- signed to duty at Fort Negley, and for nearly three months Palmer's division was cut off from ali com -
munication with the Federal army. The oid 10th Regt. ma.le all the reconnolsances In front of Mur- freesboro. prior to the battle of Stone River, to as- certain Beanregard's strength. After that san- gulmary struggle, moved thence to Bridgeport, Ala .. a march of three hundred miles. Oct. 3d, drives the rebel general. Wheeler, out of the Seqnatchie Val- ley. Tenn., on Oct. 26th camped at lgo's Ferry. ou the Tennessee River; Nov. 18th, moved to Camp- bell Landing, and on the morning of Nov. 24th. moves across the river in front of Mission Ridge; here we are assigned to the advance of Genl. Jeff'C. D)avis' division, and support Baldy Smith's divis- lon at Bald Ridge. Nov. 26th The 10th charges Fort Chleamanga, the HardIn Light Guards entering the fort and capturing many prisoners. After partiel- pat:ng in the several mlvor engagements after Mission Ridge, the oid 10th Regt. led che nd vance of Sherman's army to near Knoxville, Teun., when on Dec. 19th camps at Campbell's Landing, and theace. to Rossville, Ga. On Jan. 5th the 10th Regt veter- anted, and on Its returo to the field was made Senlor Veteran Regt. of the Western Army, and Cos. A and B. the oldest in the service, The subsequent histo- ry of the companies Is a part of the history of Sher- matt's march to Atlanta, the companies losing many men at Buzzard Roost, Dallas, Kennesaw, Peach- tree Creek, and at Atlanta. Here Co. B. fought for many hours, two regiments of rebs, and repulsed theni. After the re-organization of the army, the 10th was assigned to the 17th A. C., and It pariici- pated in the battles of Jonesboro. N. C., and at Ben- tonville, Co. Bbelog on the left flank of the regi- ment. tlie rebs donbled on It, and tried to annihilate it. but the old "Guards" showed their mctal, and met the stock nobly and well. This was the fast hard fight up to the surrender of Johnston's army. and the final collapse of the Confederacy. Was mus- tered out of service at Lonisville, Ky .. June, 1865.
*The writer having dillgemiy and faithfully glv- en a pen sketch of the exploits of two veteran com- panies, as a member of the old HardIn Light Goards, we can look back with a feellng of pride to know that the old companies sustained a good rec- ord, and that they furnished able officers for many other organizations. Co. B. furnished from Its ranks, Jofin W. Craig. to be l'urveyor for the Aimy of the Cumberland. See another part of this work for the promotion of men and officers

FOURTEENTH INFANTRY.
This regiment was first called into State service under the "Ten Regiment Bill," for thirty days. 1t rendezvoused at Jacksonville, III., and was mus- tered into the service of the State for thirty days, on May 4. 1861. On the 25th It was mustered into the Uulted States service for three years, by Capt. Pitcher, U. S. A.
The regiment remained at Camp Duncan, Jack- sonville, until the latter part of June, for Instruc- tion; then proceedled to Quincy. 111., and from thence to Missouri, July 5th, where, in connectlou with the Sixteenth Illinois lufantry, it did good ser- vice in keeping down the spirit of rebellion. The force under Martin E. Green was dispersed, and James Green, U. S. Senator, a fomenter of seces- sion. was captured and parolled. Regiment left Rolla, Mo., for Jefferson City, accompanying Gen. Fremont on his memorable campaign to Spring- field, Mo., after Gen. Price; then returned and went into winter gnariers at Ottervlile.
In the month of Feb., 1862. the regiment was or- dered to Fort Donelson, where it arrived the day subsequent to its surrender; was brigaded with the Fifteenth and Forty- Sixth Illinois, and Twenty- Fifth Indiana, and assigned to the Second Brigade, Fourth Division. under Brigadier General Stephen A. Hurlburt. In the mean time, Col. Palmer had been promoted, and Major Hall, Seventh illinois Cavalry, originally captain of one of the companies, had been promoted colonel.
From Fort Donelson the regiment proceeded to Fort llemy, where it embarked on transports and proceeded up the Tennesee River to Pittsburg Landing.
In the sanguinary engagements of the 6th and 7th of April, when the regiment first smelt powder from the enemy, th- loss lu killed and wounded was fully one-half the command engaged. The colors which came out of th's bloody conflict with forty- two bullet holes through them, fully attest the gallantry of the command in that memorable strug- gle. In the grand charge on the enemy of the 7th, the consummation of that splendid victory over the hosts of the rebellion. the Fourteenth Illinois was in the advance, and led by Col. Hall. In the official report of Gen. Vrateh, commander of the brigade to which the Fourteenth was attached, the following
