THE CAVINS FAMILY.


In September, 1861, Aden G. Cavins began to raise a company for the Fifty-ninth Regiment, which rendezvoused at Gosport. War meetings were held at Linton, Scotland, Newberry, Jasonville, Bloomfield and Worthington, and the formation of the company was rapid. On the 7th of November, the Worthington Gazette said: "No county perhaps in the State has done better in furnishing volunteers for the defense of our common country than Greene. The people of Old Greene have responded nobly to every call. Some of our patriotic farmers have three or four sons in the army, and are eager to enlist themselves, if their families could spare them. Among that number is our old friend, Judge Cavins. He takes a deep interest in the war, and seems to be imbued with the same patriotic spirit that animated him in the 'days that tried men's souls.' Samuel R. Cavins was a soldier in the war of 1812, and fought gallantly under Gen. Jackson at New Orleans. His four sons seem to have inherited the praiseworthy spirit of their father, as two of them are now with the army in Western Virginia, and one was recently discharged

and returned home in consequence of bad health, but we understand he has enlisted again, and will be in the service in a few days And now Col. Cavins' oldest son, Aden G., is raising a company with good pros- pect of success, for the regiment forming at Gosport. Truly, we may call them a loyal family. Every member of the old Colonel's family is now in the field, and we wish them great success. Aden G. Cavins, we predict, will make an efficient officer-cool, deliberate, and possessed of all the elements essential for a good soldier. And as this is probably the last call that will be made upon our county, we hope all those who can conveniently leave home will enlist in this company iminediately." G. C. Brandon, of the Times, joined the Fifty-ninth Regiment in Novem -. ber, and the issue of that paper there ended. The company went to Gosport when it numbered thirty-eight men, and continued to recruit until the complement was obtained. The officers of the company, elected about the 1st of December, 1861, were A. G. Cavins, Captain, and B. L. Brookshire and Merritt Taylor, Lieutenants. A squad of men for the Fifty-ninth was raised by Jesse Crull. About the 10th of December, Godfrey Shryer began to raise a company for the Fifty-ninth, and by the end of the month had secured about twenty-five men. The camp at Gosport was called Camp Hughes. Russell A. Belden, in December and January raised a company in Greene County for the Fifty-ninth Regi- ment. William A. Bartholomew and Benjamin F. Donely secured about twenty men in the northern and western parts of the county, who be- came part of Company A, of the Fifty-ninth Regiment.


SKETCH OF THE FIFTY-NINTH.


The organization of the Fifty-ninth Regiment was completed about the 11th of February, 1862, and on the 13th was ordered to New Albany, where it was armed with Enfield rifles. It reached Cairo on the 20th, and Commerce, Mo., on the 22d. On the 25th, it moved to Benton, and was there brigaded with the Thirty- fourth, Forty-third, Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Indiana Regiments, but was afterward transferred to Worthington's brigade. The regiment participated in the siege of New Madrid on the 3d of March. On the 7th of April, it moved to Tipton- ville, assisting in the capture of 5,000 prisoners. It returned to Now Madrid on the 10th, and participated in the expedition to Fort Pillow from the 12th to the 17th. It moved to Cairo, thence to Hamburg, Tenn., where it encamped on the 22d of April. During the remainder of April and until the 29th of May, the Fifty-ninth was engaged in most of the skirmishes and reconnoissances, etc., and the siege of Cor- inth, and followed the enemy to Booneville, but returned to Corinth on the 12th of June. It moved to Clear Creek, joined the expedition to Ripley, moved to Jacinto, and on the 7th of September to Rienzi, where 250 recruits were received. It fought at Corinth on the 3d and 4th of

It then moved to Helena, Ark., thence to near Fort Pemberton by the 25th, but on the 10th of April, returned to Helena, and April 15, moved to Milliken's Bend. On the 24th of April, it marched on the Vicksburg campaign to Grand Gulf, arriving May 1, crossed the river and marched to Port Gib- son, arriving as the battle closed. It moved on with Grant's army, and was engaged at Forty Hills, Raymond and Champion Hills, and as skir- mishers was one of the first regiments to enter Jackson. It was the rear guard at Big Black River, where it destroyed the bridge. It went into line of battle before Vicksburg, and on the 22d of May, 1863, fiercely assaulted the enemy's line, suffering a loss of 126 killed and wounded. It remained in this vicinity until the surrender of Vicksburg, which was entered on the 4th of July. On the 13th of September, it moved to Helena; on the 15th to Memphis; on the 5th of October to Corinth; thence to Glendale, and on the 19th, commenced the march to Chatta- nooga, arriving in time to take part in the victory of Mission Ridge. It moved back to Bridgeport on the 18th of December, to Huntsville on the 23d, and here " veteranized" on the 1st of January, 1804. It reached Indianapolis on veteran furlough on the 8th of March. After the fur. lough, it moved down to Huntsville, Ala., April 3. On the 1st of July, it joined the Atlanta campaign, guarded a bridge on Etowah River, and moved to Chattanooga August 26. It moved to Tullahoma; returned to Chattanooga, September 21; moved to Cartersville, Ga., by the 28th, and resumed its former position on Etowah River. On the 12th of November, it moved toward Atlanta, and on the 15th started with Sherman on the march to the sea. Savannah was reached without event of note, and the Carolina campaign was passed through. On the 17th of July, 1865, it was mustered out at Louisville, Ky. It was publicly received at Indian- apolis, on the 18th of July. During the term of service, the regiment received 777 recruits, and lost in killed and wounded, and missing and by disease, 793 men. It moved during that time 13,679 miles.
