Exploits of the First Cavalry .- Leaving Evansville August 21, 1861, the regiment pro- ceeded via St. Louis to Ironton, Mo., and, on September 12, had a sharp skirmish with a party of rebels on Black river, in which five of the enemy were killed and four captured.
. During the fall and winter it remained on duty near Pilot Knob, and while campaign- ing in this region, participated in the battle of Fredericktown on the 21st of October, and in a charge that decided the fate of the battle, captured a piece of artillery and drove the enemy from the field, not, how- ever, without a serious loss - the death of Major Gavitt. In the spring of 1862, the First cavalry moved into Arkansas, on July 7th fought the battle of Round Hill, and during the remainder of its term of service remained on duty in that state. For over a year it was stationed at Helena, engaging in various expeditions in every direction from that point, and during the last year of its service was stationed at Pine Bluff. The regiment, excepting the recruits whose
terms of service had not yet expired, were mustered out of service at Indianapolis on September 6, 1864.
The remaining recruits left behind in Ar- kansas, were on August 31st, organized into a detachment of two companies-A and B-and stationed at Pine Bluff. While on a scout on September 15th, it had a severe engagement with the enemy and was com- pelled to fall back, losing eight men wounded and prisoners. It continued its service in Arkansas until June 24th, when it moved to Indianapolis, where it was finally discharged, numbering 125 men and three officers.

MILITARY HISTORY.
Willich, a distinguished officer of the Ger- man revolution of 1848, who was mustered in with the regiment as its colonel on the 24th day of August, 1861. Early in the spring of that year, indeed, immediately fol- lowing the first warlike demonstrations, a company of Germans, composed mostly of Turners, was organized in Evansville, with William Schnackenburg as captain. The company was armed with rifles, uniformed with blue blouses, soft cassimere hats and dark pants, and for some time did duty, guarding powder houses and protecting property. On the afternoon of June 24, in front of the Mozart hall on First street, a large crowd of people assembled to witness the presentation of a beautiful American flag to this sterling corps by its lady ad- mirers. The Home guards were out in force; the Jackson artillery and Capt. Klauss' battery, the Lamasco guards, and the companies of Capts. Monk, Wolflein, Denby and Shanklin, were all there to add interest to the occa- sion. The assembled ladies sang the " Red, White and Blue " with inspiring effect, after which, in their behalf, Miss Pfaf- flin, with appropriate remarks, presented the flag. Capt. Schnackenburg received the emblem of liberty, expressing to the ladies on behalf of the company, a high appreciation of their patriotic encouragement, promising loyalty and love to the stars and stripes, and pledging the lives of himself and his men in its de- fense and protection from dishonor. The bands discoursed patriotic music, hearty cheers were given, German songs were sung, and the procession marched about the city, everywhere creating great enthusiasm by its loyal demonstrations. Upon the or- ganization of a regiment by the Germans of the state, this company of Turners joined it, forming Company K. Capt. Schnacken-
burg was commissioned major of the regi- ment, was promoted lieutenant colonel, and resigned October 19, 1862. William G. Mank, another Evansville citizen, went out as first lieutenant of Company A, was pro- moted captain of Company C, major of the regiment and lieutenant colonel, although mustered out September 7, 1864, before his muster in the rank last named. Charles Schmitt, who went out as adjutant, was commissioned major July IS, 1862, and resigned November 17, 1862, for promotion as assistant adjutant general. Ferdinand C. Meyer, first sergeant Company K, was promoted adjutant, and served from Septem- ber 25, 1862, to March 27, 1863, when he resigned. From October 7 to November 15, 1861, Wilhelm Schmitt was chaplain, and from June 13, 1863, Emil Forstmeyer was assistant surgeon. The other regi- mental officers were from other parts of the state. Of the company officers several were from Vanderburgh county. Louis Beyreiss, a sergeant in Company A, was successively promoted second lieutenant Company H, first lieutenant Company A, and captain Company B, being mustered out September 7, 1864, at the expiration of his term of en- listment John D. Ritter rose from second lieutenant Company K, to first lieutenant and captain Company B, and was killed at Chickamaugua September 20, 1863. Gus- tave Arnold, a recruit to Company A, was commissioned, but not mustered, as second lieutenant of Company B. Phillip Wassem, a corporal in Company K, was promoted second lieutenant, and subsequently captain of the residuary battalion, Company C, and resigned June 1, 1865. Charles H. Allen served as captain residuary battalion, Com- pany D, from October 4, 1864, to June 16, 1865, when he resigned.

part of September, 1861, the regiment pro- ceeded to Louisville, Ky., and spent the fall and winter in various camps in that state, doing picket duty much of the time, along the south side of Green river. While so engaged on December 17, near Rowlett's station, four companies were attacked by a force of 1,100 infantry, four pieces of artil- lery and a battalion of Texan rangers. The struggle for a time was fierce and appar- ently hopeless, but the attacked companies were ' reinforced by the remainder of the regiment, which came on the run to the scene of conflict, and the enemy was routed after a contest which brought out the highest qualities of skill, daring and endurance. For its gal- lantry on this occasion, the regiment was highly complimented in special orders by Gen. Buell and Gen. Morton and the name "Rowlett's Station" directed to be placed on the regimental colors. It participated in the battle at Shiloh, losing six killed, ninety-three wounded and four missing, and in the siege of Corinth was engaged for many days, losing eight wounded. After the evacuation of Corinth the regiment was with Buell's army, most of the time, and took part in the pursuit of Bragg, through Kentucky. From November, 1862, to June, 1863, it was at Nashville and Murfreesboro, during which time it was engaged in the battle of Stone River, losing twelve killed, forty wounded, and II5 missing. Moving with Rosecranz's army toward Chattanooga, it engaged in a severe skirmish at Liberty Gap, on June 24, and on September 19 and 20 participated in the battle of Chickamauga, losing twenty-one killed, seventy-eight wounded, and seven- teen missing. Falling back to Chattanooga, it remained there until the battle of Mission Ridge was fought, on November 25, in which it bore an honorable part. Remain-
ing in east Tennessee until just before the Atlanta campaign, it joined Sherman's army, . and marched with it to Atlanta, engaging always with credit to itself in the following battles and skirmishes: Resaca, Allatoona Hills, Dallas, Peach Tree Creek, Paid Springs, Atlanta and many minor skir- mishes. The non-veterans were mustered out at Indianapolis, September 7, 1864. The remaining recruits were organized into a residuary battalion, did duty in Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas, and was finally mustered out December 4, 1865.
The Thirty-fifth Regiment .-- During the winter of 1861 authority was given Bernard F. Mullen, of Madison, Ind., to organize the Sixty-first, or second Irish, regiment, the Thirty-fifth, or first Irish, regiment having been organized at Indianapolis, and mus- tered into the United States service on December 11, 1861, with John C. Walker as colonel. About twenty men went from Vanderburgh county to join the Sixty-first, and proceeded to Madison, the place of rendezvous. The attempt to raise this reg- iment being unsuccessful, the enlisted men and a few of the officers, including Col. Mullen, were transferred to the Thirty-fifth regiment on May 22, 1862. Prior to the date of this consolidation, however, many of the men had become dissatisfied and refused to muster. As a result but few Vander- burgh county men found their way into the ranks of this regiment. Among the regi- mental officers there was but one from here. James Fitzwilliams was commissioned sec- ond lieutenant, Company G, March 20, 1862, rose to first lieutenant and captain of his company, and then to major of the regi- ment on March 1, 1865, but before muster- ing in this rank, he resigned, as captain, June 10, 1865. In the same company Tim- othy Dawson was second and first lieutenant and later was captain of Company H, being

mustered out with the regiment. Michael Gorman was commissioned second lieuten- ant of Company B upon the consolidation of the two regiments, was promoted first lieutenant November 13, IS62, and captain . May 1, 1863, from which rank he resigned June 10, 1865. James Gaviske was second lieutenant and captain Company E, and re- signed July 21, 1864. Among the enlisted men from here there were in Company G the following: Humphries, Ignatius X., corporal, transferred to Veteran Reserve corps February 10, 1864; Fitzwilliams, Patrick, corporal, discharged September 15, 1862, disability; Gaffney, Patrick, corporal, not mustered out; Williams, Sam- uel, corporal, veteran, transferred to Vet- eran Reserve corps, mustered out June 23, I865; Dawson, Michael, not mustered out; Gleeson, Cornelius, not mustered out; Holmes, Thomas, mustered out April 6, 1865; Hill, Patrick, not mustered out; Ken- nedy, John, missing at Stone River, January 2, 1863; Hughes, John, not mustered out; Nolan, William J., not mustered out; Ryan, Thomas, died February 20, 1863, of wounds received at Stone River; Summers, Timothy, veteran, mustered out September 30, 1865, as sergeant; Victory, John, discharged April 7, 1863, disability; Tremble, John, mustered out September 30, 1865. In Company E, Thomas P. Cole, drafted in December, 1864, was mustered out September 30, IS65, and Isaac Miller, who joined the com- pany January 12, 1865, left it without being mustered out.
