In the Field .- Arrived at Indianapolis, the company, which num- bered 130, was divided and the overplus joined with the over- plus of another company from Ft. Wayne, formed a new company under the command of Capt. Comparet. In this company, J. F. McCarthy and O. H. Ray were Lieutenants. On the 29th of May, the Ninth Regiment, Col. Milroy, in which the Valparaiso boys constituted Company H, left Camp Morton for Virginia. The first trial the boys had of actual conflict with the rebels was at Philippi, on the 3d of June, where all the Indiana regiments were engaged. The rebels were taken by surprise, and a large amount of arms, horses, etc., was captured.
On Saturday, June 22, a meeting of the citizens of the county was held for the purpose of obtaining recruits. Speeches were made by James M. Lytle, F. Church, S. L. Bartholomew and Mr. Bartlet. On Monday, June 24, the volunteers met to effect their organization. The meeting was presided over by E. J. Jones, D. L. Skinner, Secretary. The officers of the company were chosen as follows : Captain, James M. Lytle; Lieutenants, Galbreath and Carr. Capt. Lytle gave his life on the field of battle. A mass meeting was held on the Fourth of July, to bid farewell to the company, as they were to leave on the evening of that day for Camp Tippecanoe.
In the Republic of July 19th appeared this song, composed by a
86

member of the Ninth Indiana Regiment. (It was forwarded by Gil Pierce, and doubtless he was the author) :
" On Sumter's proud ramparts a traitorous hand, Has torn from its staff the bright flag of our glory ; And blessed be God, who inspires our bold band,
That flag we'll replace though the ramparts be gory. And the ' Bloody Ninth's ' name, and the ' Bloody Ninth's' fame Shall shine in our history in letters of flame.
And the Star Spangled Banner, once more it shall wave O'er our country united, the home of the brave.
" Shall we shrink from the contest, brave comrades ? Oh, no ! Let us fight while one stripe of that banner is waving, Or fall with each face bravely ' turned to the foe '- To the traitors who fight for their country's enslaving ; Contented to die, if that flag waves on high,
But never before the base rebels to fly ; For we've sworn that the Star Spangled Banner shall wave O'er the Union again, or the ' Bloody Ninth's' grave.
" Let them come with their Beauregard, Davis and Wise, The ' Ninth ' will be there with their Colonel to lead 'em,
And while that proud banner is floating the skies, With him they will fight for their Union and freedom.
The foe we'll destroy, and the name of Milroy Shall sound through our country in pæans of joy, While the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
On July 24, the " Bloody Ninth " reached Indianapolis from the seat of war to be re-organized for the three years' service. The Twentieth Regiment, Col. W. L. Brown, with Capt. James M. Lytle's company, from Porter County, left Indianapolis for Washington on the 31st of July, just ten days after the Bull Run disaster.
October 24, 1861, this delicate compliment is paid in the Republic to Secretary Cameron : " A number of horses, numbering 250, were sent this regiment (First Regiment Northwestern Cavalry in which was Capt. Buell's Company) from Pennsylvania, Secretary Cameron's State, and twenty-five of that number and only twenty-five were found fit for service, 227 being rejected as unsound and deficient in almost every conceiv- able manner. This is a fair specimen of Pennsylvania swindling, con- nived at by officials high in power. Let the West furnish her men with their equipments and horses, and Pennsylvania retain her old broken- down hacks for her own use, if the Secretary insists upon using all the ring-boned, spavined, windgalled, blind, stump-tailed, lamed, knock- kneed, worn-out broken-winded scrubs first." In Company G, of that Cavalry Regiment, were forty-seven Porter County men, of whom the Adjutant General's report of Indiana takes no notice.

HISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY.
The capture of Fort Donelson, on Sunday, February 16, 1862, was one of the bright spots in the history of the war, and gave rise to great re- joicing in Valparaiso as well as in other parts of the land. On Monday evening the court house was packed with the " chivalry and beauty " of Valparaiso. The ladies were out in full force, although it drizzled rain. Dr. Newland was called to the chair, and speeches were made (after prayer) by Gurney, Mattingly, Church, Bartholomew, President Sims and A. L. Jones. Of course a resolution was adopted. What would a meeting in the United States of America be without at least one resolu- tion ? This was one of " unbounded confidence in the wisdom and patri- otism of our military leaders," etc. Of course, with 15,000 rebel prison- ers just taken, they could afford to have a little confidence in the men who took them.
In the Republic of March 20, 1862, is a detailed account of the devastation wrought to the frigates Cumberland and Congress, by the rebel ram Merrimac, in Hampton Roads, on March 9, written by Capt. Lytle, whose regiment, the Twentieth, was engaged during the fight, to- gether with the repulse of the Merrimac by the iron-clad Monitor. On the 15th of April, seventeen or eighteen men of the Ninth Regiment, who had been wounded in the engagement at Pittsburg Landing, were re- ceived at Valparaiso, and were kindly cared for by the citizens. In that engagement, David Thatcher, James Mitchell and David Armitage, be- longing to Company H, were killed, and twenty-nine others were wounded. It began indeed to be the "Bloody Ninth." Sixty-two officers and men went into the action and thirty passed through it unscathed.
May 1, 1862, a meeting was held at the residence of Rev. S. C. Lo- gan, to devise means of sending relief to the sick and wounded of the Indiana regiments.
A sanitary commission was appointed at a meeting held at the court house which issued an address to the people of Northwestern Indiana. The commission consisted of S. W. Smith, A. J. Buel, Elias Axe, Joseph Peirce, M. A. Salisbury, E. J. Jones and R. Bell, Jr. On the 28th of April, the following patriotic appeal was made to the Germans of Porter County :
An die Deutschen von Porter County.
Der Unterzeichnete ist bereit Beitrage zum Ankaufe eines Landgutes fuer Major General FRANZ SIGEL anzunehmen. Komme yeder und gebe sein scherflein zu einem so noblen Unternehmen. DR. MET. MAX HOFFMAN.
The cry of " fight mit Sigel " was taken up in Porter County.
On the 29th of May, 1862, was issued a call for a non-partisan con- vention to send delegates to the Union State Convention, which was to meet in Indianapolis on the 8th of June, and to appoint a Union County Central Committee to act for the year.

HISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY.
July 10, 1862, there appeared the following letter :
COLUMBIA HOSPITAL, WASHINGTON, D. C.
MY DEAR MRS. LARNED : This morning, for the first time, I am able to write you a short note. I was shot in the left side and the left thigh, and the right wrist (slightly the latter). Three shots pierced my coat, so you see I was very fortunate to get off at all. There are no bones broken, and I am improving rapidly. My folks at B. come over to see me, and I will go home with them as soon as I am able to ride. I think it will be from four to six weeks before I could think of venturing West, but will go as soon as possible. Of my own brave boys, fifteen are gone and five are here wounded. They did their duty to a man. God bless them; but we all did so. LYTLE.
This was Capt. James M. Lytle, of the Twentieth. He was wounded in front of Richmond.
July 17, 1862, this item appears, " We regret to learn that the Rev. Dr. Brown, Chaplain of the Forty-eighth Regiment, is lying critically ill at Paducah. His wife was telegraphed for on Saturday evening last, requiring her to repair to his bedside as speedily as possible. She started for that place on the first train. The Presbyterian Church of this place, of which he was formerly pastor, appointed A. J. Buel, Esq., on its behalf on Sab- bath to visit him. Mr. Buel left with his lady that evening." The Republic of the following week published the obituary of Dr. Brown, who died July 14, and the gallant Lytle passed away after long suffer- ing. on the 20th of August following. Thus were the people tasting of the horrors of the war, and learning at what a price the Union was to be restored.
The order for the first draft for 300,000 men to serve for nine months was issued August 4, 1862. There was also a call for 300,000 volunteers. Both these calls were met with thanks on the part of the people. On Monday, August 10, a mass-meeting was held at the court house, which was addressed by Hon. C. W. Cathcart, of La Porte County. Dr. L. A. Cass was chosen as President of the meeting, and Thomas Jewell, Secre- tary. The purpose of the meeting was to raise $25 bounty for each man enlisting from the county. By the 14th of August, two full companies had gone into camp at South Bend. Not less than three hundred and fifty men had enlisted under the call for 600,000 men. The subscrip- tions were liberal and numerous, ranging from $1 to $100. But it would be impossible to follow up that eventful history to its close, and necessity compels us to summarize the work done by Porter County in suppressing the rebellion.
Military Statistics .- It is impossible to ascertain just how many men from Porter County were engaged in the war. The reports of the Adjutant General are very imperfect, omitting the names of some persons who served in Indiana Regiments, even those of some commissioned offi- cers, and of those who enlisted in the regiments of other States he has
89
HISTORY OF PORTER COUNTY.
given no account. We have seen how many there were in a single regi- ment of cavalry which went from Illinois, and there were many who enlisted in the gunboat or naval service, or in Tennessee and Kentucky regiments. Many also were wounded or killed of whom these records preserve no account. The names of Porter County soldiers are found upon the rolls of twenty-nine regiments of infantry, four regiments of cav- alry and two batteries of artillery which went from this State. But these names are chiefly to be found in the Ninth, Twentieth, Seventy-third, Ninety-ninth, One Hundred and Twenty-eighth, One Hundred and Thirty-eighth and One Hundred and Fifty-first Regiments of Infantry, and in the Fifth, Seventh and Twelfth Cavalry and the Fourth Battery. Of those whose names are found in the Adjutant General's report, 156 were honorably discharged on account of disabilities from wounds or sickness, or for other reasons not given. Five hundred and thirty-nine were mustered out at the expiration of their term of service, or at the close of the war; twenty-five were promoted from the ranks to be com- missioned officers ; sixty were wounded in battle, of whom fourteen died ; twenty-seven were killed in battle; fifty-eight deserted; in some cases the same person deserted twice; even one who had served three years and had re-enlisted as a veteran deserted before the close of the war ; 106 died of sickness. The mere reading of this shows how imperfectly the report of the Adjutant General was made out, when we remember what befell Company H, of the Ninth, at Pittsburg Landing, and Capt. Lytle's company in the battles before Richmond. It must strike all readers as strange that there should have been fifty-eight desertions and only twenty-seven killed in battle. The terms of service of the several Indiana regiments containing Porter County men were as follows: The Ninth, three months: for three years, Ninth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Thir- teenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-second, Twenty-fifth, Twenty-ninth, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-eighth, Fifty-ninth, Sixty-third, Seventy-third, Ninety-ninth, One Hundred and Twenty- eighth ; for one year, the One Hundred and Forty-second and One Hun- dred and Fifty-first ; for 100 days, the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth.
The various calls for troops were as follows : First call for 75,000 men, three months, April 15, 1861 ; second call for 42,000 men, for three years, May 30, 1861; third call for 300,000 men for nine months, August 4, 1862; fourth call for 100,000 men for six months, June 15, 1863; fifth call for 300,000 men for three years, October 17, 1863; sixth call for 500,000 men for one, two and three years, July 18, 1864 ; seventh call for 300,000 men for one, two and three years, December 10, 1864.
Porter County paid for bounties during the war $65.227.50. For

relief, that is for sanitary and Christian commissions, and for the families of soldiers, $54,606.33. For the draft of October 6, 1862, T. G. Lytle was Draft Commissioner, W. S. Dunning Marshal, and J. H. Newland, Surgeon. Only nineteen men were drafted at that time. The second draft was on the 17th of October, 1863. The total credits by enrollment and draft to July 18, 1864, were 686. Total to be furnished by second draft, sixty-nine. Under the draft ordered for December 19, 1864, there were 145 recruits ; drafted men, seventy ; total, 215. The revised en- rollment, according to the Adjutant General's report, showed a total en- rollment of 1,136 from Porter County.
It would be impossible, in the limits assigned, to give a history of the encampments, marches, battles, sieges, imprisonments, etc., of all the regiments having soldiers from this county. They made a gallant record, endured great hardships, and are deserving of the gratitude of their coun- trymen. As they returned home they were welcomed at Indianapolis and at Valparaiso, and since that time many of them have enjoyed public honors, and many have been entered upon the pension rolls of the nation. These things are worthy of mention : That ninety-nine re-enlisted as veterans after serving full three years. Nine are reported to have died in prison ; two were dishonorably discharged. Of those who are reported as deserters, the writer, after a residence of seventeen years in the county, can say that he does not know one of them. The names are not familiar, and they have evidently sought other scenes.
The following is a list of officers from Porter County who served in the war of the rebellion :
