LEE'S SURRENDER .- LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION.
Our armies bravely contended until finally after four long years of bloodshed and carnage the news was flashed over the wires that Lee had surrendered. This joyful news reached this county Monday, April 10, 1865, being within two days of four years from the time the batteries were opened on Fort Sumter. On receiving the news of the fall of Richmond the people were very jubilant over the suc- cess of the Union forces. They assembled in all parts of the county and had grand jubilees. At Pekin the people came together at the public square and a procession was formed, headed by the band, and paraded through the city. The streets were brilliantly illuminated. Bonfires, rockets and music were seen and heard on every hand, it was indeed a season of rejoicing, and well might it be, for what had been endured, what had been suffered ?
Scarcely had the downfall of the Southern Confederacy been re- ceived ere the sad news of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln was flashed over the wires. On that beautiful April morning, five days after the announcement of Lee's surrender, the people, joyful over the near approach of the return of their loved ones from the South, the sorrowing news of the President's death was announced.
Mr. Lincoln was bound to the people of this county with stronger cords than simply being a good ruler. He had spent many days here ; had many warm personal friends and it was like the loss of a brother. They felt the loss keenly ; the tolling bells, the sym-

pathetie dirges, interpreted not merely the grief of a people at the loss of a president, but the sorrow of a community at the death of a brother, a son, one who was closely akin to all. Meetings were held and appropriate resolutions passed. Dwellings, stores, churches and · publie buildings were draped and the flags which had been sent up in moments of rejoicing, were taken down, draped, and sent up at half-mast.
THE CLOSE.
The war ended and peace restored, the Union preserved in its in- tegrity, the sons of Tazewell who had volunteered their lives in defense of their government, and who were spared to see the army of the Union victorious, returned to their homes to receive grand ovations and tributes of honor from friends and neighbors who had eagerly and zealously followed them wherever the fortunes of war called. Exchanging their soldiers' uniforms for citizens' dress, most of them fell back to their old vocations, - on the farm, at the forge, the bench, in the shop, and at whatever else their hands found to do. Brave men are honorable always, and no class of citizens are entitled to greater respect than the volunteer soldiery of Tazewell county, not alone because they were soldiers, but because in their associa- tions with their fellow men their walk is upright, and their honesty and character without reproach.
Their country first, their glory and their pride, Land of their hopes, land where their fathers died ; When in the right, they'll keep their honor bright, When in the wrong, they'll die to set it right.
No more fitting tribute to their patriotic valor can be offered the brave men who went forth in defense of liberty and union, than a full and complete record, so far as it is possible to make it, embracing the names, the terms of enlistments, the battles in which they were engaged, and all the minutiæe of their military lives. It will be a wreath of glory eneireling every brow-a precious memento to hand down to posterity, and one which each of them earned in de- fense of their and our common country. There are, no doubt, some men who, while they lived in Tazewell county, enlisted in other counties and were never credited to this county. While the names of such properly belong here, and we would gladly give them did we know them, yet the Adjutant-General's reports, the source of our
350

information, gives their names as belonging to other counties. We sent out thousands of circulars urging those who thus enlisted, or their friends for them, if they were dead or had moved away, to send us their name, company and regiment, and those who did so will find their name properly recorded.

7th INFANTRY.
The 7th is claimed to be the first regiment organized in the State, under the first call of the President for three months' troops. The Sth also claims the same honor. The 7th was mustered in at Camp Yates, April 25, 1861; was forwarded to Alton and thence to Mound City, where it remained during its three months' service.
It was re-organized and mustered for three years service, July 25, 1861 ; moved to Fort Holt, Kentucky, where it went into winter quarters; was with the reconnoitering expedition under General Grant, in the rear of Columbus, Kentucky. On February 3d it embarked for Fort Henry, and on the 12th for Fort Donelson, taking part in the siege and investment of that place. At Donelson the regiment was commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Babcock; loss 3 killed, including the gallant Captain Mendell of Company I, and 19 wounded.
The 7th was engaged continually April 6th and 7th, at the battle of Shiloh, losing 2 officers and 15 men killed, and 79 wounded.
At the battle of Corinth, October 3 and 4, 1862, the regiment was engaged both days entire, Colonel Babcock commanding. Loss at Corinth, 2 officers and 6 men killed, and 46 wounded, also 21 prisoners.
After the battle of Corinth, the 7th was engaged in scouting and guarding railroads through Tennessee and Mississippi, taking part in a number of expe- ditions and having some some brisk skirmishes, capturing many prisoners, etc.
December 22, 1863, the regiment re-enlisted as veterans, and, January 7, 1864, started to Springfield, Illinois, for veteran furlough. It was mustered out July 9, 1865, at Louisville, Kentucky ; arrived at Camp Butler, July 12, 1865, for final payment and discharge.

8th INFANTRY.
On the 25th day of April, 1861, the Sth Infantry was first organized for the three months' service, Colonel Oglesby commanding. A contest for rank and seniority arose between the Seventh and Eight, both being organized on the same day. This contest was finally ended by according to Colonel Cook the first number (Seven) as the number of his regiment, with the second rank as colonel-Colonel Oglesby taking the second number for his regiment, with the first rank as colonel.
During its three months' term of service it was stationed at Cairo, where, at the end of said terin, it was mustered out, and on July 25, 1861, was re- organized for the three years' service.
The regiment was stationed at Cairo, Illinois, until October, 1861, when it was ordered to Birds Point, Missouri, where it was stationed until February 2, 1862, with the exception of occasional excursions to Cape Girardeau, Norfolk Mission and Paducha, Kentucky.
February 2, 1862, embarked for Tennessee river. On the 5th met the enemy near Fort Henry, and drove them. On the 11th was in advance of attack on Fort Donelson, under command of Lieutenan-Colonel Rhoads, Colonel Oglesby commanding brigade. On the 15th the Eighth met the enemy, who were attempting to cut their way out of the fort, and for three hours and a half withstood the shock of the enemy, although suffering ter- ribly. Its loss was 57 killed, 191 wounded, and 10 missing.
March 6th, proceeded to Pittsburg Landing, where the Eighth did gallant service, being engaged in the hottest of the fight. Towards the close of the
353
HISTORY OF TAZEWELL COUNTY.
second day, the regiment was ordered to take a rebel battery, which was pouring a destructive fire into our ranks-the battery was charged and taken, the gunners being killed at their posts. The regiment lost 26 killed, 95 wounded, and 11 missing.
It was engaged in the siege of Corinth, and after the evacuation, moved to Jackson, Tennessee, thence to Lagrange. November 28th it pushed as far as Water Valley into Mississippi, returning after a very hard march.
The regiment broke camp at Tallahatchee river, January 4, 1863, and marched toward Memphis, where it arrived on the 19th of January, and camped on the Hernando road. February 22d embarked for Lake Provi- dence. April 12th moved to Milliken's Bend; on the 25th started with the army, and passing through Richmond, struck the river at Perkins' Land- ing, and crossed over on the night of the 30th. May 1, 1863, commenced the fight at Thompson's Hill, Captain Jones severely wounded. On the 12th engaged the enemy near Raymond. In this battle the regiment did distin- guished service, relieving the center at a most critical moment, and gallantly driving the enemy. The regiment lost a brave young officer here in Captain Frank Leeper, Company A, who fell while leading his men on to victory. Participated in the battle of Jackson, May 14th, and on the 16th fought at Champion Hill. On the 18th crossed Big Black river, and on the following day drove the enemy into his works at Vicksburg. On the 22d engaged in the heroic assault on Fort Hill. August 21, 1863, under command of Lieutenant- Colonel Josiah Sheets, marched to Monroe, returning September 3d.
The Eighth remained at Vicksburg until February 3, 1864, when it joined in the Meridian campaign under General Sherman.
The regiment re-enlisted as veterans March 24, 1864, going to Camp But- ler, Illinois, for veteran furlough. Was consolidated June 21, 1864.
Left Vicksburg July 1st, for Jackson, and, returning on the 6th, met the enemy three miles from Jackson, and skirmished till dark. On the following day had a severe engagement, suffering a loss of 3 killed, 21 wounded, and 2 missing.
From July 29th to September 3d, engaged in the Morganzia expedition ; moved to Memphis, Tennessee, October 18th, where it remained with brief intervals till January 1, 1865, when the Eighth left for New Orleans, where they arrived on the 4th, and were stationed fifteen miles above the city.
On March 26th encamped near Spanish Fort and entrenched; engaged in approaching the fort until the 30th, losing 1 killed and 3 wounded. Pro- ceeded to rear of investments April 3d, and on the 9th engaged in a charge on the enemy's works, and was the first to plant the flag on the works in her vicinity. The Eighth lost in this charge 10 killed, and 54 wounded.
The regiment was mustered out May 4, 1866, at Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and arrived at Springfield for final payment and discharge May 13, 1866.
