The Seventh Congressional District Regiment was organized at Mattoon, Ill., on the 9th of May, 1861. On the 15th of May it was mustered into the state ser- vice for 30 days, by Capt. U. S. Grant. On the 28th of June, it was mustered into United States' service for three years, by Capt. Pitcher, U. S. A., with Capt. U. S. Grant as colonel. Col. Grant was commissioned brigadier general Aug. 6, 1861, and was succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel J. W. S. Alexander, who was killed Sept. 20, 1863, at Chicamauga. On the 4th of July, 1861, the regiment marched for Missouri ; 22d, arrived at Mexico, where it remained until Aug. 6, when it proceeded, by rail, to Ironton, Mo. Oct. 20, marched from Ironton, and on 2Ist participated in battle of Fredricktown. Remained at Ironton until Jan. 29, 1862. Marched, with Gen.

December 30, in connection with Fifteenth Wisconsin, Thirty-eighth Illinois, and One Hundred and First Ohio, it had a severe engage- ment with the enemy near Murfreesboro, where it charged the famous Washington (Rebel) Light Artillery, twelve Parrott guns, and succeeded in driving every man from the battery, when it was compelled to fall back by a division of Rebel Infantry.

Rosecrans' army from Murfreesboro to Chattanooga ; was engaged in a severe skirmish at Liberty Gap, June 25, 1863 ; was engaged in the battle of Chicamauga, Sept. 19 and 20, where it lost 238 officers and men.

The Washburne Lead Mine Regiment was organized at Chicago, Ill., Dec. 25, 1861, by Col. John E. Smith, and mustered into the United States service as the Forty-fifth Infantry Illinois Volunteers.

McClernand ; February 4. landed below Fort Henry, on the Tennessee, and on the 6th marched into the fort, it having been surrendered to the gun-boats.

Loss-2 killed and 26 wounded. March 4, moved to the Tennessee River, and 11th, arrived at Savannah. Was engaged in the expedition to Pin Hook. March 25, moved to Pittsburg Landing, and encamped near Shiloh Church.
