Waiting there only long enough to fill our wagons, we again began a march, which for peril, labor, and result will compare with any ever made by an organized army. The floods of the Savannah, the swamps of the Combahee and Edisto, the high hills and rocks of the Santee, the flat qnag- mires of the Pedee and Cape Fear rivers, were all passed in midwinter, with its floods and rains, in the face of an accumulating enemy; and after the battles of Averysboro and Bentonville, we once more canie out of the wilder- ness to meet our friends at Goldsboro. Even then we paused only long enough to get new clothing, to reload our wagons ; again pushed on to Raleigh, and beyond, until we met our enemy, suing for peace instead of war, and offering to submit to the injured laws of his and our country. As long as that enemy was defiant, nor mountains, nor rivers, nor swamps, nor hunger, nor cold had checked us ; but when he, who had fought us hard and persistently, offered submission, your General thought it wrong to pursue him farther, and negotiations followed which resulted, as you all know, in his surrender.
How far the operations of this army contributed to the final overthrow of the Confederacy and the peace which now dawns upon us, must be judged

by others, not by us ; but that you have done all that men could do has been admitted by those in authority, and we have a right to join in the universal joy that fills our land, because the war is over and our government stands vindicated before the world by the joint action of the volunteer armies and navy of the United States.
To such as remain in the service, yonr General need only remind you that success in the past was due to hard work and discipline, and that the same work and discipline are equally important in the future. To sucli as go home, he will only say that our favored country is so grand, so extensive, so diversified in climate, soil, and productions, that every man may find a home and occupation suited to his tastes ; none should yield to the natural impatience sure to result from our past life of excitement and adventure. You will be invited to seek new adventures abroad ; do not yield to the temptation, for it will lead only to death and disappointment.
Your General now bids you farewell, with the full belief that as in war you have been good soldiers, so in peace you will make good citizens ; and if, unfortunately, new war should arise in our country, "Shernian's army" will be the first to buckle on its old armor and come forth to defend and maintain the government of our inheritance.
By order of Major-General W. T. Sherman. L. M. DAYTON, Assistant Adjutant-General.
Before he lays aside his pen, the writer considers it due to the memory of Captain Mahlon H. Floyd and Colonel Milton S. Robinson, who, in the Providence of God, were not per- mitted to see the completion of this book, in which they took so great an interest, to insert herewith a brief biographical sketch of their lives.
Captain Mahlon H. Floyd, who was born near Middle- town, Frederick county, Maryland, on September Ist, 1839, died suddenly of heart disease, August 21st, 1891, at his home in Indianapolis, Indiana. In 1858, he moved from his native State to Hamilton county, Indiana. In 1861, at the first call for troops in defense of the Union, he entered the army as a Sergeant in Company D of the Twelfth Indiana Regiment (of which Lieutenant-Colonel O'Brien and Major McCole of our Regiment were the Captain and First Lieuten- ant, and Captain John T. Floyd of the One-hundred and first Indiana was the Second Lieutenant) and served in Maryland

and Virginia in the Army of the Shenandoah under General N. P. Banks. At the expiration of his term of enlistment, which was for one year, he raised Company I of our Regi- ment in 1862, and re-entered the army as a Captain, serving to the close of the war.
Joining George H. Thomas Post of Indianapolis, he be- came an ardent G. A. R. man. On October 4th, 1866, he married Miss Clarinda H., daughter of ex-Congressman James L. Evans, of Indiana. In 1869, he became a partner in the firm of Fortner, Floyd & Co. in the wholesale notion busi- ness, on South Meridian St., Indianapolis. At the time of his death he was a clerk in the Pension Office at Indianapolis.
The Noblesville Ledger of August 22d, 1891, published at his former home, bears the following testimony to his character:
" Last night at his home, in the city of Indianapolis, the great heart of Maj. M. H. Floyd ceased to beat, and his spirit took its flight to the realms of light. At 10 o'clock he was preparing to retire for the night, when he ex- pired without a moan. He had been afflicted for some time with heart trouble, and, although his demise was not unexpected, the shock came with terrific force. Maj. Floyd in many respects was a remarkable man. As a friend he was generous to a fault. As an opponent he was manly and court- eous. As a citizen he was loyal, honest and true. As a soldier he was bravery personified. His surviving comrades are a unit in saying that Maj. Floyd was always in the thickest of the fight, leading his men and saying, 'Come on, boys.' Their love for him was akin to worship. As a husband his fidelity was purity itself. As a father his paternal heart was brimming with love for his offspring. When suffering humanity called upon him for assistance, it was never turned empty away. In brief, lie was nature's nobleman, worthy the confidence and esteem of his fellow-men."
Hon. Milton S. Robinson, who died July 28th, 1892, at Anderson, Indiana, was born April 10th, 1832, in Ripley county, Indiana. In 1851 he was admitted to the Decatur county bar at Greensburg, and in the same year he removed to the city of Anderson, where he has ever since made his home. He held several offices of trust. He was an elector in the first electoral college that declared Abraham Lincoln

the President of the United States in 1860. Holding the office of director of the State Prison, to which the Legislature of Indiana had appointed him, he resigned at the beginning of the war, and took the field in 1861 as the Lieutenant- Colonel of the Forty-seventh Indiana Regiment. On Octo- ber 21st, 1862, he was promoted to the colonelcy of our Regiment, which he ably commanded in the battles of Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge. He was in command of the Brigade in the battle of Hoover's Gap, and on the Tullahoma campaign. On April Ist, 1864, he resigned as Colonel of our Regiment to resume the practice of his profes- sion, which, in years, grew to be very large and lucrative. After the war, he represented his district for four years in the Senate of his State, and for two terms in the Congress of the United States. In 1889 he was appointed by Governor Alvin P. Hovey to the Bench of the Appellate Court of Indiana, holding this office at the time of his death.
Judge Robinson's funeral was one of the largest and most impressive ever held in the State of Indiana; judges, lawyers, ex-soldiers, friends, and many others from various parts of the State, were present out of respect to the memory of the brave soldier and distinguished jurist. The services were con- ducted under the auspices of Major May Post G. A. R., of Anderson, of which he was a member.
On the day of his death the Anderson Daily Herald paid the following tribute to his character:
"Few men indeed attain the citadel of respect in which Col. Robinson was held by the public. His loss will be keenly felt in this city. He will be missed in the court, of which he was an honored, able, and unfaltering worker; in the church, of which he was a distinguished member ; at the bar of the Madison county circuit court, where he had no peer ; in the councils of his party, where his words were weighted with experience and worth ; in the daily walks of life, in his contact with the people, where he was re- spected and loved for earnestness and unfaltering devotion to right principle and conduct in affairs of business."

DIED OF DISEASE.
The following 158 members of the Seventy-fifth Regiment died by the ravages of disease. Regiments at the front, whose term of service lasted three years, were usually reduced more rapidly by the diseases of camp, than by the bullets of battle. Many of the survivors of the war are far greater physical wrecks by reason of the exposures and sicknesses of the camp and march, than those are who lost limbs in battle. The Adjutant-General of Indiana in his Official Report of the troops from our State, very properly and justly places the men, who died of diseases, side by side in the roll of honor with those who fell in battle. Men dying in hospitals, away from home, unattended by their friends, "paid the last full measure of their devo- tion," as truly as those who were shot down on the battlefield. Some of these men, whose names are herewith recorded, may have never seen a field of battle; but they nevertheless yielded up their lives, as a holocaust to their country's need, as truly as those who perished in the storm of conflict. They died to secure a Union victory just as much as they would have done in a charging column. The incipient cause, however, of the death of some of these, who are here reported as dying from dis- ease, was from wounds received in battle.
