Oct. 4th, the Fourth Division, under Gen. Hurl- burt, was ordered to proceed to Corinth as a forlorn hope, to relieve the beleagnered garrison of that place; hut the gallant Rosecrans, before Corinth was reached, had already severely punished the enemy, and the " foriorn hope" met the retreating rehels at the village of Metamura, on Hatchie River. In the glorious victory that followed elght honrs' hard fighting, the Fourteenth Illinois well sus- tained fis reputation earned at Shiloh. The regi- ment constituted a part of the right wing of Graut's army, in the march into Northern MI-sissippl. through Holly Springs to Yacona Patalfa, under the Immediate command' of the lamented McPherson. Van Dorn bad captured Holiv Spr ngs, and Gen. Sherman belng unable to effect a dislodgement of the rebels from Virksburg, Grant's army was obliged to retreat, and on Jan. 18, 1863, the Four- teenth Illinois went Into winter quarters at Lafay- ette, Tenn.
Early in the spring, the command was ordered to Vleksburg, where it took part in the slege of that stronghold until Its final fall, July 4, 1863. Also, accompanied the expedition to Jackson, Miss., tak ing part In the siege will its evacuation. In An- gust, proceeded to Natchez, and formed part of the force which marched across the swamps of North- eastern Louisiana to Harrisonburg. on the Wachita River, and captured Fort Beauregard, where, the spring before, the ram Queen of the West had been sunk, and then accompanied Gen. Sherman on his Meridian ra d. After the return, a large portion re-enlisted as veterans, though his time would have expired In a few months. Returning from the North, where It had been on a veteran furlough, It formed a part of the army in the advance on: At- lanta. Here the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Illinois, ever togeth .r since the Fall of 1862. sharers of each other's sorrows and joys, weary marches, and hon- orably-earned laurels, were consolidated Into the " Fourteenth and Fifteenth Illino s Veteran Bat- tallon." The battalion was detailed to guard rall- road communications at and near Ackworth, Ga., a most Important and dangerous duty, as it was the only route by wh ch Gen. Sherman could supply his immense army with subsistence. etc.
In the month of October, 1864, when the rebel Gen. Houd made his demonstration against Gen. Sherman's rear a large number of the battalion were killed, and the major part taken prisoners and sent to Andersonville prison. Those who escaped capture were mounted. and, in the grand march to the sea, acted as scouts. and were continually In the advance. being the first to drive the rebel plekets Into Savanah. Ga. During the long and weary march through North and South Carolina, the bat- talion was on duty day and night, being constantly In the presence of the enemy, galning notoriety as skirmishers. The battallon was the first to enter Cheraw, S. C., Fayetteville, N. C., and also took part in the battle of Bentonville.
At Goldsboro, N. C., In the Spring of 1865, the bat- talion organization was discontinued. a sufficient number of organ zed companles of recruits having arrived by way of New York and Morehead City, N. C .. to fill up the two regiments, Col. Ilall again being assigned to the command of the Fourteenth. After the capitulation of .Johnson, the regiment marched to Washington , D. C., where, on the 24th of May, It took part in the graind review of Sherman's army. It afterward proceeded by rail and river to Louis- ville, Ky .. thenre by river to Fort Leavenworth, Kas. ; thence marched to Fort Kearney, N. T., and back. Mastered nut at Fort Leavenworth, Kan .. Sept. 16, 1865. arriving at Springfield, III .. Sept. 22d. where it received final payment and discharge. Theaggre- gate number of men who have belonged to this organization was 1,980, and the aggregate mus- tered out at Fort Leavenworth was 480
During his four years and four months of arduous service, the regiment.marched 4,490 miles, traveled hy rail 2.330. and by river, 4,490 miles-making an aggregate of 11.670 miles.
