In regard to the 72d Ill. Inf., we give the following from items furnished by M. A. Adams, of this county. About 94 were enrolled in Co. E. nearly one-fifth of whom, Mr. Adams reports as being from Piatt county.
"The regiment rendezvoused at Chicago (Camp Douglas) and was mustered into United States service August 18, 1862, and started to Cairo August 23. Left Columbus, Ky., for the field November 21, and marched six miles south of Oxford, Miss., with a part of Grant's army. Left Memphis, March 1, 1863, with the forces that went on the Yazoo Pass expedition. Marched from Milliken's Bend to Hardtimes land- ing. Crossed over to Grand Gulf and marched to Raymond, Miss. At Champion Hills the rebels were compelled to retreat after a liard fought battle. At the Big Black River the rebels were pushed so close that they set fire to the bridge too soon, and cut off several hun- dred prisoners to us. We had to bridge this stream when we ad- vanced to within four miles of Vicksburg, May 19, 1863, and with

Sherman and others formed line of battle to correspond with their line of forts and breastworks twelve miles long. The face of the country was almost impassable. We had to assist each other to climb some of the hills ; besides it was difficult getting over the felled timber. On May 22 we charged the whole line, lost one-half our company, but did not take the works. We had to lay down to a siege which lasted 46 days. During this time flags of truce were sometimes put out and the Union boys and rebels met for trading purposes. On June 25 we were all called out in line of battle to take Vicksburg, wlien Gen. Logan blew up the Southern Confederacy, or rather a hole through the bottom of it. They dug under Fort Hill and planted a magazine, which was exploded. The 45th Ill. rushed into the fort, but as soon as the rebels saw the joke they rallied and compelled the 45th to retire with heavy loss. We never learned how much damage the rebels sustained, but we know they lost one negro. He was blown clear over to Gen. Logan's grounds-was not hurt, only emanci- pated and scared. His photos were on sale for a year at fifty cents. On July 3 the rebels hoisted a flag of truce in token of surrender, and on the 4th we marched into the city. On August 27 our regiment was called out to arrest the Marine Brigade, which refused to go ashore and do infantry duty. October 6' we left Vicksburg for up the river, and arrived at Paducalı, Ky., November 9. Left Nashville November 14, and reached Columbia. On the 24th Hood's army attacked our pickets, and on the 28th made a. flank movement. On the 29th we started toward Franklin and marched all the time, and though we could see the rebel camp fires at night we reached Franklin before the rebels did. November 30 was spent in making breastworks. The enemy, who came on to us about 4 r.M., looked splendidly coming over the hills several columns deep, in line of battle. When they reached level ground we soon destroyed their nicely drawn lines. A number of rebels were taken prisoner here. After midnight we marched to Nashville, the rebels following at a respectable distance. At this place we received reinforcements, and on December 15 started for Hood's army. We soon captured all their works and a few of the men. We went into winter quarters at Eastport, Miss., and during the winter suffered some from scarcity of rations. Reached New Orleans February 20, and camped on Gen. Jackson's camping grounds. From there we went to Mobile Bay, and secured Fort Blakely and Mobile. After marching some time in Alabama,

MEMORANDA OF SEVENTY-THIRD REGIMENT.
The regiment was organized at Camp Butler August, 1862, and became a part of Gen. Buell's army. Fought nobly at Perryville. Was in every battle fought by the army of the Cumberland, from October, '62, to the route of Gen. Hood's army, at Nashville, and winding up of the whole matter. Was in the engagements at Perry- ville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge and the succes- sion of battles from Chattanooga to the fall of Atlanta. Formed a part of Opedyke's brigade at Franklin, which saved the day and lost its last man killed in driving Hood's army from Nashville. It left the state one of the largest, and returned one of the smallest, regiments. and the officers and men were noted for bravery. It is supposed that nearly two-thirds of the organization wasted away by disease, death, or battles during the three years' engagement.
