HISTORY OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT.


hold ! you have done enough, leave the crushing blow to those who have done less than you, that you may be spared to your friends to tell the story. Go home and tell your friends that the enemy is ours. Go home and enjoy the blessings of a grate- ful country. Tired and weary, worn to the quick by our heavy burdens, covered with dirt and filth from the camp and field, and our powder-burnt hands and faces, we willingly obey this our last order, and turn our faces homeward. But before we leave the front we must account for a few of our comrades who are missing.


Henry Smith, of Company C, was killed near Marietta, on July 4, 1864.


John Hill, of Company C, was killed near At- lanta, on July 25, 1864.


James Johnson, of Company E, was wounded near Atlanta, July 25, 1864.


Leonidas Bryant, of Comyany F, was captured near Atlanta, and Thomas Duzan, of Company F, was also captured near Atlanta.


CHAPTER XXI.


DESCRIPTION OF THE ROUTE HOME.


We land at Indianapolis-We are paid off and get our discharges -The final good-bye.


Yes, we widen the space between us and the muskets' rattle and the cannon's roar ; step by step forward we move: no stragglers, no orders to elose up in the rear; how nimble the boys seem : there must be something of special interest ahead. But this tramping process is too slow for us, so just after crossing the Chattahoochee we round into Vining Station and take the train for Chatta- nooga, about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th of August. This beat walking all to pieces, al- though we rode in box cars, which, you know, are not provided with cushioned seats. We had just 130 miles to make Chattanooga; but the reader will be surprised when I tell him that we actually made the rapid speed of ten miles an hour. Ar- riving in Chattanooga about daylight next morn- ing, the old regiment left the train and went into camp up on the Rossville road, and right close to the house where Joshua Chitwood and I stole the chicken. I went up next day and offered to pay the lady for it, but she refused to take anything, and said it was all right. We had hardly got our tents pitched until our convalescents at Chatta-


336


HISTORY OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT.


nooga came up to see us. Here we took a general wash-up, and got plenty of rations. While here our recruits, whose time had not expired, were transferred to other regiments, while all the con- valescents of our own regiment, who were able to travel, were ordered to join us on our homeward trip.


We left Chattanooga on the 30th, about 4 o'clock in the evening, and daylight next morning found us at Stevenson. Here we learned that the rebel, Wheeler, had destroyed the railroad on our direct route, and we did not get away from Stevenson until September 1, in the afternoon, and then we took the train by way of Huntsville, where we ar- rived next morning. We lay here only a short while and moved on by way of Athens. Here we met Wheeler's forees and had to get off and form in line of battle. But Wheeler did not wish to fight, and moved off rapidly. We again loaded up and pulled out toward Pulaski. We went only a short distance until we found the track torn up. . This was repaired, and the next morning we moved on up to Pulaski, lay here only a little while and moved on. We run out about twelve miles and again found the track destroyed.


The train started back to Pulaski, and run only a short distance until our train run off the track. The rebels had got around in our rear and torn up the track. Eight of our cars were badly smashed up, but nobody was seriously hurt. We had a terrible time, however, repairing the road and get-

ting the cars back on the track. Here is where the boys tore down the old rebel's house. With the help of other troops we got on the track again all right, and started back to where the road was torn up in our front and began work on the de- stroyed track. It was the 10th of September when we got ready to move on. We run on up to Co- lumbia, and here we left the train, loaded our bag- gage on wagons, and took it afoot over the river and until we come to the cars again. We boarded the train and run up about twelve miles, and again come to where the track was torn up. Here we got off and walked about three miles to Thomp- son Station. Here we stopped over night. Next day, the 12th, we took the train for Nashville, where we arrived some time in the night. Nearly all the boys went to hotels this morning and got a square meal. We lay here in Nashville only one day, but the boys had a big time, and not a few got quite jolly, but on the 14th we again took the train and pulled out for Louisville, where we arrived next morning early. We went at once to Jeffersonville, and that same afternoon took the train for Indianapolis, where we arrived in the night. From the train we went to Camp Carring- ton. This brings us up to the 16th, in the even- ing, and this night we rest quietly in the capital city of our own Hoosier State.


From this up to the 22d, it was a " free-for-all " race. The boys had things pretty much their own way, while the officers were preparing the pay-rolls

338


. HISTORY OF THE SIXTH REGIMENT.


and final muster-out rolls. But on the 22d day of September, 1864, the rolls were all ready, and the boys marched to the Capitol Building, and signed the pay-rolls for the last time, and received their final discharge, and rolled out for home on the first trains. This terminated the existence of the old Sixth as a regimental organization, and like drift-wood upon a turbulent stream, we have been tossed about by the storms of life until we are now scattered throughout the length and breadth of the land.


" Poor wanderers of a stormy day, From wave to wave we're driven."


A great many of our comrades have long since been stranded upon the stormy beach, while a few still eling to the old ship as she rushes down the stream of Time. The breakers ahead of us are many and dangerous. In trying to avoid one, we are dashed against another, and we, too, will soon go down with the sinking ship. But my dear old comrades we have this to console us in our old age: That when the life of our Nation was in danger, and the old Ship of State was about to sink, we dashed into the breakers, at the risk of our own lives, and went to her rescue at the cost of our own blood and trials and hardships untold. We brought her safely to shore, with her colors proudly floating to the breeze, and to-day we see her mistress of the oceans all over the civilized world.


339


LAST ROLL-CALL.


Our labors in helping to crush the great rebellion will be best appreciated by generations yet to come, and when the last old soldier shall have passed to his final resting place, then our children will rise up and call us blessed.


HOW MANY ANSWERED AT THE LAST ROLL-CALL.


The number of officers of the Sixth Regiment, present to answer to their names at the final roll- call, was twenty-three. Of this number, seven were regimental officers, and only one of the seven was of the original staff-Dr. Schussler. Of the other six, three had been promoted from the line and three from the ranks. Of the sixteen line officers, two only were of the original organization : all the others had been brought up from the rank.


We had for final muster-out :


1 Lieutenant-Colonel.


1 Major.


1 Adjutant.


1 Quartermaster.
