CHAPTER III.
THE ROUTE TO THE FIELD OF BATTLE.
Engaged in the first battle of the war-Treason no crime in the South-The boasting rebels put to flight-They are whipped in every fight-W. Virginia cleared of armed rebels-The Sixth Indiana did her part in the work-The work done, she starts for home-Mustered out at Indianapolis-What became of her officers.
The Sixth Regiment was one of the six regi- ments of three months' men organized under the call of President Lincoln for 75,000 men. It was mustered into service at Indianapolis. April 25, 1861, and placed under command of Thomas T. Crittenden as Colonel. On the 30th day of May the regiment left Indianapolis by way of Cincinnati and Parkersburg for the scene of conflict in West Virginia, being first fully armed, equipped and clothed. Arriving at Webster on the 2d day of June, it was marched with other troops the same night, through a drenching rain, a distance of four- teen miles, and on the morning of the 3d of June, took part in the first battle of the war, at Philippi. And right here let us place another star in the crown of the Sixth Regiment. She was not only the first to organize in defense of the Union, but was also the first Indiana regiment to meet the enemy on the field in open combat. It is very

evident that these brave men fully realized the situation. They were fully aware of the boastful character of the Southern slave-drivers. The men north of what was then known as "Mason and Dixon's Line," which divided the slave from the free States, were insulted by the same slave-drivers by being called " Yankees," "Mudsills " and " Cow- ards." Having the power in their own hands. they made the Northern States the field and her citizens the instruments of their bidding for run- ning down their fugitive slaves. Under the ad- ministration of James Buchanan, a President of their own choice, these Southern autocrats had succeeded in exhausting the treasury of the United States ; destroying her credit both at home and abroad; destroying the arsenals in all the North- ern States, by stealing the arms and munitions of war and taking them into the South; by sending the navy into foreign waters and away from home, and finally by taking up arms against the General Government.
Insulting the flag, and threatening the very life of the Nation, were everyday demonstrations throughout the entire Southern States. The North had borne with all these treasonable demon- strations until forbearance ceased to be a virtue, and it simply became a matter of necessity for Union men-loyal men-to take up arms in self- defense. The members of the Sixth Indiana Vol- unteers were fully aware of all these facts, and when they met the enemy at Philippi they met
