Gen. C. F. Smith's command November 6. 1861 ; marched to Melbourne and returned ; to Lovelettsville and returned November 19. 1861: to Crown Point and returned December 31. 1861.
Three members of Company G died at Paducah, Ky. : Corporal Win. M. Petty, Oc- tober 13. 1861. of typhoid fever, was brought home and buried, on Bear Creek, aged 23 years : Private John M. Jordan, of the same company, died of measles. December 22. 1861 ; deceased were two of the five who vol- unteered from Bear Creek : Jordan was bur- ied at Paducalı, Ky. : Geo. B. Ryan, of Tay- lorville, died at Paducah, Ky .. April 5. 1862; was brought home and now sleeps close to his captain in the Oak Hill cemetery, near Taylorville.
February 5. 1862, the regiment took up its march for active service to Fort Henry, and on the Lith marched to Fort Donelson, and was engaged in the siege under Colonel McArthur, on the 13th, 14th and 15th days of February, 1862. None of Company G were killed in this fight, and only eight wounded. Their names were: Ben L. Bowles, of Rosemond, in his leg: Curtis Kimnerman, of Bear Creek, in the leg: Sergt. Robert W. Hopper, of Buckeye Prairie, in foot : James Brown, of Taylor- ville, in finger, and the others slightly. Fort Donelson surrendered on the morning of the 16th of February. 1862.
The regiment immediately after the sur- render of Fort Donelson moved up the Ten- nessee river. The following letter from J. B. Young, a private in Company G. under (late of March 26, 1862, to a friend in this county, we take from the Independent Press :
"We are now encamped within a mile and a half of Pittsburg. Tenn., near the lines of the states of Mississippi and Ala- bama. There are about 100,000 men here
in the heart of 'Dixie,' ready to move at an hour's notice upon the enemy. The Con- federates are fortified, about 80,000 strong, at Corinth, twenty miles west of us. If the do not evacuate their position soon you will. perhaps, hear of a battle, compared with which that of Fort Donelson was child's play. When 200,000 men meet in conflict 'somebody will get hurt.' Our course, in all probability, will be westward to the city of Memphis. This, however, is but the speculaion of a 'high private' in Uncle Sam's army-rear rank. The boys, from exposure to wet, fatigue, hard crack- ers and bacon, are not in as good trim for the fray as might be desired. But the warm spring weather and the forwardness of vegetation ( for the peach trees have been in full blossom for the past ten days and the May apples nearly ready to bloom) is in- vigorating, and the health of the troops shows a marked improvement since we land- ed at this point.
"We were nine days aboard the steam- boats, exposed to drenching rains most of the time. There were one hundred and thir- ty-two steamboats of the largest class in the line, conveying the troops and military stores up the river-the 41st Regiment and Com- pany G among the number. The country is rolling and heavily timbered. In the valleys and bottoms there are canebrakes and cypress swamps.
"On the 24th, General Buell's division of the army, from Cumberland Gap. by the way of Nashville, formed a junction with General Grant's forces, at Savannah, fifteen miles below us, on the Tennessee river. If we succeed in taking Island No. 10 in the Mississippi, which we will, most likely. Corinth will be evacuated for the purpose of strengthening Fort Randolph and Memphis. 'We shall see what we shall see.'"

CHRISTIAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS.
The battle of Pittsburg Landing, or ing in, and the few scattering shots that Shiloh, as named in official reports, was fought on Sunday and Monday, April 6 and 7. 1862. It was a long and desperate conflict. Lieut. John B. Butler, of Com- pany G, correspondent of the Independent Press, of Taylorville, gives the following graphic account of the two days' battle :
"General Grant has been concentrating his forces at this point for the last four weeks, preparatoy to an advance upon the enemy's stronghold at Corinth, Miss. We were only waiting a junction with the troops under General Buell to commence the work. The enemy, reported 130,000 strong, en- deavored to cut us off before General Buell's arrival, and thereby command the naviga- tion of the Tennessee river, give his troops the spirit and eclat of a victory, cheer and encourage the despondency of the enemy. replenish their exhausted ordnance and com- missary stores, and fight General Buell at their leisure. They have been signally dis- appointed, although they fought like devils incarnate for thirty-six hours.
"On Sunday morning, about 4 o'clock, the enemy drove in our pickets, and the can- nonading commenced with round shot. shrapnel, shells and other projectiles, grape, canister, etc. The enemy in force were in the camps almost as soon as were the pickets themselves. Here began scenes which hardly have a parallel in the annals of war. Many, particularly among the officers of the army, were not yet out of their beds : some were dressing, others washing and cooking, and a few eating their breakfast. Many guns were unloaded, accoutrements, lying pell-mell. ammunition was ill-supplied -- in short, the camps were completely sur- prised-and taken at almost every possible disadvantage.
"The first wild cries from the pickets rush-
preceded their arrival, aroused the regiments to a sense of their peril: an instant after- ward, rattling volleys of musketry poured through our tents and before there was thought of preparation there came rush- ing through the woods, with lines of battle, sweeping the whole fronts of the division camps and bending down on either flank, the fine, compact columns of the enemy.
"Into the just-aroused camps of the union forces, thronged the Confederate regiments, firing sharp volleys as they came, and springing forward upon our laggards with the bayonet: for while their artillery, al- ready in position, was tossing shells to the further side of the encampment, scores were shot down, as they were running without weapons, hatless, coatless, towards the river. The searching bullets found other poor un- fortunates in their tents and these, unheed- ing now, they slumbered, while the unseen foe rushed on. Others fell, as they were disentangling themselves from the flaps that formed the doors to their tents; others as they were vainly trying to impress on the critically exultant enemies their readiness to surrender.
"Officers were bayonetted in their beds and left for dead, who, through the whole two days' fearful struggle, lay there gasping in their agony, and on Monday evening were found in their gore, inside their tents, and still able to tell the tale.
"Thus the battle raged by 8 o'clock in the morning. The roar of musketry and rifles, the infernal din of two or three hundred thousand small arms continued all day and ceased not until darkness put an end to the strife. We halted in line of battle and remained there during the night, notwith- standing it rained torrents throughout the latter part of it.

PAST AND PRESENT
"Colonel Pugh commanded the First Bri- gade of the Fourth Division, Company G, with the Forty-first regiment, in the Fourth Division, took their position in line of battle by 8 o'clock a. m., the enemy showed him- self, and commenced firing upon our battery, whichi replied promptly, and for two hours they kept up a most incessant roar. About 12 o'clock our battery changed position right in front of Company G. of Forty-first Regi- ment, Illinois Volunteers, and for fifteen minutes kept up a brisk fire: but the enemy disabled one gun, killed several gunners and horses, when the battery retired. This had drawn the grape and canister upon us and several men were killed out of Company G -not all. however, from Christian county- close by my side and in my rear.
"Our division was posted near the left wing of our lines.' For two hours and a half our regiment presented the appearance of a young volcano: nor did it give one inch of ground until our ammunition was ex- hausted, when we retired behind the sec- ond line, refreshed ourselves with water and replenished our ammunition. Lieutenant- Colonel Tupper, of the Forty-first Regiment. was killed early in the action. The com- mand then devolved upon Major Warner, who led us during the remainder of the fight on Sunday afternoon.
"The enemy outflanked us on the left, and drove us in until 5 o'clock in the after- 10on, when one or two brigades of General Buell's command landed from the boats, and a masked battery of heavy guns was planted, which opened in easy range: and such a cannonading from that time till dark was never excelled, if equalled, in modern war- fare. The enemy's batteries were silenced. and they were forced to retire some dis- tance for the night. General Buell's forces continued landing all night and taking their
position in the field, and as soon as daylight made its appearance they 'cried havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,' and kept it up till three in the afternoon of Monday, when the enemy broke and retreated from the field. Col. Pugh's brigade, on Monday, the second day of the fight, were posted in support of the right wing, and here it was that the heaviest fighting was done. The enemy had erected breast-works of fallen timber, from behind which they kept up a severe firing for a long time, but we routed them at the point of the bayonet. In fact a great pro- portion of the fighting in the afternoon was with the bayonet.
"Among the prisoners were several offi- cers of distinction : and among the dead were the bodies of Gen. A. Sidney John- son, of Virginia fame, and Gen. Bragg, of battery notoriety at Buena Vista. We lost many prisoners on Sunday, at the com- mencement of the battle. The enemy took many of our guns on the first day, but were retaken on the day following, together with forty of the enemy's guns.
"Tuesday and Wednesday after the bat- tle were occupied in burying the dead. The battle ground was covered, niore or less, for three or four miles in diameter, with dead and wounded, men and horses. Some twenty-five or thirty miles were fought over. The country was hilly and cut up by deep ravines. The enemy had the advan- tage of a thorough knowledge of the coun- try, of its geography and topography, which our men had not, with the exception of the commanding generals.
"About five o'clock of the first day's fighting, when we were marching to the right wing, to take position, Gen. Hurl- burt paid the 1st regiment a very high compliment ; many regiments were broken

and in confusion, and the General seeing us all in ranks in line of battle, called out
'What regiment is this?' '41st Illinois,' was the response. 'That is as it should be -the 4Ist is in line. I expect always to find them in line.' "
The following letter was written by Capt. F. M. Long, on the 8th of April. 1862, after the battle, to his aged father in Taylorville, Illinois :
"Forty-six of my company G, went into the fight: and sixteen of the number were killed and wounded. The names of the killed were: Geo. C. Funk, John C. Wright. Wm. J. Johnson, Wm. H. Ready and Charles A. Craimer. The wounded were: Capt. F. M. Long, slightly in the foot : Lieut. John W. Cox, mortally. in the right thigh, died April 9th: Capt. Leander East, severely in the right shoulder: Gab- riel Mckenzie, slightly in the head; Gabriel C. Butt. seriously in the back; Wm. L. ·
Miner, slightly in the head : George Stanley, slightly in the face: Geo. Cabill, slightly in the ear: James Brown, slightly in the breast : Edmund Wilson, severe wound in the left arm and bone broken, and Wm. J. Sisson, flesh wound in the leg.
"The killed fought bravely till they fell. The rest of my men went through un- harmed; every one did his duty. I passed over the battle-field the next morning after the dreadful contest and such a sight I never beheld before: dead men are lying all around over the ground for miles."
After the battle of Shiloh, the regiment was next engaged in the siege of Corinth, Miss., July 6, 1862. marched for Mem- phis via Holly Springs, Lagrange and Grand Junction : arrived at Germantown 20th, and at Memphis 21st July, where it remained till the 6th of September, and then marched for Bolivar, arriving on the
.14th of September ; on the toth marched to the Grand Junction, and returned October 4. and marched to Hatchie river. On the 5th of October, 1862, was reserved during the battle of Corinth. On the 6th marched to Bolivar; on the 7th marched from Boli- var, arriving at Lagrange Nov. 3. On the 6th of November in Colonel Pugli's brigade ; moved out on a reconnoissance to Lamar on the 8th and Somerville on the 24th ; Nov. 28, 1862, again marched to Lamar; on the 29th to Holly 'Springs; on the 30th to Waterford: Dec. 10, 1862, to Beaver Creek : on the 11th to Yocono Creek, pass- ing through Oxford and crossing the Talla- hatchie; on the 22d marched from Yocona to Water Valley, and returned via Oxford, Beaver Creek. Tallahatchie, and arrived at Holly Springs. Jan. 5. 1863.
The 4Ist Regiment was in the first bri- gade, Colonel Pugh: fourth division, Brig- adier-General Lauman; right wing, Gen- eral McPherson: 13th army corps, Major- General Grant. The regiment went into camp at Moscow, Tenn., and remained until March, 1863. On March 5. 1863, ordered to Memphis, Tenn., where it arrived on the Ioth. The regiment before this had been transferred from the 13th army corps, Major-General Grant, to the 16th army corps. Major-General Hurlburt command- ing.
On the 12th of April, 1863. proceeded on an expedition to Hernando, Miss. At Cold Water, seven miles beyond the latter place, met the enemy, under General Chalmers. Here the 4Ist was under a heavy skirmish fire for about seven hours. On the 16th returned to Memphis. Valentine Hinkle. of Company G, died at Memphis, April 28, 1863 ; moved to Vicksburg: disembarked at Young's Point ; on the 19th transferred to

General McClernand's command. Was en- gaged in the siege of Vicksburg.
July 5. 1863, moved towards Jackson, Miss .; engaged in the battle of Jackson. The loss of the regiment in this action was 40 killed upon the field and 122 wounded. Major F. M. Long fell, mortally wounded, while gallantly leading his men into action. This great sacrifice of life was by a mis- taken order of General Lavman's. It was uncalled for and effected nothing. Among the killed were Corp. Elijah J. Shirrell. John H. Williams, William B. Russell, John A. Orr, William N. Robinson. Names of the wounded could not be obtained. After this disaster the regiment returned to Vicksburg on the 25th of July.
November 18. 1863, moved to Natchez. Miss .. and remained until the 28th, when it returned to Vicksburg: Dec. 3, 1863, marched to Big Black river, where it re- mained and erected winter quarters: the 4Ist regiment being in the Ist brigade. Gen. Thomas Kirby Smith ; fourth division, Gen. M. M. Crocker: 17th army corps, Major- Gen. James B. McPherson. commanding veterans and recruits on the 4Ist Illinois. consolidated with the 53d regiment.
.
The '4Ist mustered out Aug. 20, 1864, at Springfield, Ill .; number in the regiment. 1,211.
Such is a brief and hasty sketch of the movements of the 4Ist Illinois regiment, in which was company G, Capt. F. M. Long, from Christian county.
A brief account of the early formation of this company and the obstacles it had to encounter may be a matter of interest. Capt. F. M. Long, on his own motion, com- menced recruiting for a company in July. 1861, to be attached to Colonel Pugh's regi- ment. forming at Decatur. The Independ- ent Press says :
"A meeting to further the interests of the movement was held in the courthouse on the afternoon of the 26th of July, 1861. Addresses were made by Elder A. McCol- lum, Captain Vandeveer and Dr. Goudy. It was stated that the pay would be liberal -320 acres of land ; a bounty of $100, be- sides the regular wages in the army. The boys of the company styled themselves "Uncle Sam's Nephews.' Among those en- listing was Samuel Wydick, an old settler of this county and 81 years old. He re- ported his age at 41, and passed muster He was in the war of 1812; and also in the Black Hawk war. He is apparently as ac- tive as any man in the company, and en- dured the hardships incident to a life in the tented field with as much spirit as most of his younger companions in arms. He died in the hospital at St. Louis on the 22d of AApril. 1862. Peace to the old warrior's ashes."
