I love the honor to submit the following report of the part 10'3 0. Crawfordl County Artillery in the recent engagement Mere n'y foreg- at Brandenburg. About & P. M. of the 7th . twee maker Looly Pike-having been prevented from passing Oqueles of the guerrillas at Brandenburg-came down mol to the information that the rebels, under Morgan, were at Belodoes and had possession of the steamers MeCombs and 1. Dem. Our canton-a six-pounder-was immediately placed

aboard the Lady Pike, and in less than half an hour, with about thirty Home Guards, we were under way for the scene of action.
The boat fearing to proceed further up, landed us about two miles below Mauckport, on the Indiana shore, to which point we took our cannon by hand. Upon our arrival there we placed ourselves in command of Col. Timberlake, who was at Mauckport with about 100 Harrison County Home Guards, awaiting us. He marched us without halting, in the direction of Brandenburg, crossing Buck Creek at the mouth, in an old boat towed up from Mauckport for that purpose. There being no road, the taking of our cannon by hand through meadows, corn-fields, and wheat-fields, rendered our march by no means pleasant. We arrived opposite Brandenburg about 7 o'clock next morning, after a tiresome march, and placed our gun in position on the river bank, in front of an old house, immediately opposite the landing, where the two captured steamers were lying. About 8 o'clock the fog, which had been quite dense, partially disappeared, giving us a glimpse of the boats. We immediately opened fire. The first shot, which passed through the McCombs, took them com- > letely by surprise, causing a general stampede. About 200 were aboard of the steamer and in the act of starting across, when our first fire notified them of our presence. They stood not upon the order of their going, not even waiting to run out the stage plank , which had been taken in, but jumped their horses over the guards of the boat and took up the road on double quick, amid the firing and shouts of our little. squad. Quite. a number were seen to fall from their horses, three of whom we have since learned were killed, and two of Morgan's staff and quite a number of privates are reported wounded -some of them severely. We having been reliably informed that he enemy numbered less than 200 men, and were without artillery, efrained from firing upon the boats, after their abandonment by the 'ebels, with the hope of saving them. There being no enemy then risible, we ceased firing, and the Colonel commanding ordered the McCombs to come over and take our forces across the river, but for- unately for us she failed to comply.
The rebels by this time had placed their guns in position and com- nenced shelling us from the Brandenburg Heights with two 12 and wo 6-pounders, with telling effect.
We being in an open field, with no covering whatever, save the old og house, which was soon made untenable by the well directed shots f the enemy, were forced to fall back, and finally, the enemy having rossed the river, compelled to abandon our gun, having taken it by

in the recent pursuit of the invaders of our own State, under Morgan. On the morning of the 8th inst., Captain G. W. Lyon, with one pieec of ordnance, in connection with a small squad of infantry from this (Harrison) county, disputed the crossing of Morgan's men at Bran- denburg, the particulars of which are herewith furnished in a report made to me by Captain George W. Lyon: from which report you will see that our gun, gun-carriage and limber-box were lost; the limber and other fixtures were saved. The following is a description of the gun : " Caliber, 3-inch rifle ; heavily stamped, 'No. 422 .? " The news of the repulse of our forces at Brandenburg, and the loss of our cannon, and the subsequent crossing of Morgan's entire com- mand, brought together at this point over 500 men; and we having learned that the rebels were marching on Corydon, started early on the morning of the Oth in that direction. Two hundred of our men, who were mounted under Captain Lamb, went in the direction of Mauckport, near where the rebels crossed over; the remaining force, in command of Captain N. N. Morgan and myself, took the road to Corydon. When within about 3 miles of Corydon, we were informed that the enemy had taken Corydon, and were moving in the direction of Leavenworth, by the road we were on. We at once selected the most available position, felled timber across the road, and placed ourselves in ambush, and prepared to receive them. We were, in a short time, joined by Captain Lamb's command, who, having learned that Morgan had gone to Corydon, and was marching in the direction of Leavenworth, aban- doned his route, and came through to reinforce our command. We remained here for the night, resting on our arms. At daylight, we took up our line of march in the direction we started out, arriving at Corydon about 9, A. M. The enemy had gone in the direction of Salem. We awaited at Corydon the arrival of General Hobson's forces, who arrived about 11, A. M., to whom we at once reported for duty. He ordered our cavalry in his advance, and our infantry in the direction of New Albany. We (the infantry) immediately started in the dircetion ordered. When within about one mile of Edwardsville, we were halted by Major Sabin's pickets ; and, having reported ourselves, were, by the Major, ordered to remain for the night, (it being then 1 o'clock at night,) outside of his lines. An alarm was sounded in about one-half hour from the time of our halt- ing ; and, in pursuance of orders, we resumed our march in the direc- tion of New Albany, where we arrived about daylight. We reported to Major Fry, who ordered us to report to Colonel McCurdy, at

REPORT OF COLONEL LEWIS JORDAN.
COMMANDING 6TH REGIMENT INDIANA LEGION.
HEADQUARTERS 6TH REG'T 2D BRIG. IND. LEG., Corydon, Ind., Aug. 11, 1863.
To L. Noble, Adjutant General of the State of Indiana :
The undersigned, Colonel of said regiment, would make the follow - ing report of the doings of said regiment during the late Morgan Raid through Indiana :
Notice was given me by Lieutenant Colonel Irvin on Tuesday evening late, the 7th July last, that at about 5 o'clock P. M. of that day, two steamboats-McCombs and Alice Dean-had been pressed by a rebel force at Brandenburg, Ky. I took immediate steps to have my regiment under arms, and ordered Major Pfrimmer to report to Lieutenant Colonel Irvin at Mauckport. I also sent Captain Farquar, of the Cavalry, with a squad of his men, that he might dispatch me all necessary information of the operations of the rebels. During the night a six pounder field piece, under the com- mand of Major Woodbury, Captain Lamb, and a squad of men from Leavenworth, arrived opposite Brandenburgh, Ky., which opened fire on the rebels about 8 o'clock on the morning of the 8th of July, the fog having just disappeared from the river. The rebels soon suc- ceeded in placing four field pieces in position, and sent shot and shell at our forces, driving them from their gun, killing two of our men, one of them a Lieutenant. Two companies of this regiment, the Mauckport Rifles and Heth Rifles, being near at hand, some of the men aided in firing the gun. The rebels commenced crossing in a boat, which was compelled to land a half mile or more above, as Colonel Timberlake, with a party of twelve or fifteen men, rallied to to the gun, and succeeded in firing several times while the boat was crossing, but without causing any injury to the boat ; they being com-

Many of the prisoners he took were robbed of their hats, boots, and clothing; also of such amounts of money as they had on their persons. The rebels acknowledged a loss of thirty-seven. Too much praise cannot be given to the citizens generally for their aid in the fight. I am under obligations to Major Stout, of New Albany, Capt. George L. Key, Capt. I. D. Irwin, and Col. John Timberlake, who volunteered to assist, and were efficient aids in the conflict. Major Pfrimmer and Adjt. Heth acted with promptness, and were efficient in carrying out my orders. Lieut. Col. Irwin reported to me on the morning of the 9th, and left without leave before the fight commenced, and has made no satisfactory report of his doings to me since. Some action should be had in his case. In the engagement oppo- site Brandenburg and near Corydon, four of our men were killed, and two wounded, viz : Lieut. Current, of the Mauckport Rifles, and Harry Stapleton, of the Legion, were killed; also, Nathan McKinzie and George Nance, citizens. John Glenn, of the Ellsworth Rifles, was severely wounded, and Jacob Ferrace, a citizen, (one of the County Commissioners) was severely wounded, and has since died. Isaac Lang, belonging to the Scott Rifles, under Captain A. B. Carns, died from over-heat in the battle. Morgan's forces killed Peter Glenn, and burned his houses and barns, he having been induced to come where Morgan's forces were, near his residence, by a flag of truce, and having no arms. William Heth, a citizen, was shot down near the town. Others were shot at, and two boys were crippled, in the north part of our county. On Wednesday morning, the 8th day of July, after having received reliable official information of the fact that the enemy in force had crossed the river, I dispatched a messen- ger to Maj. Thos. W. Fry, Commander of the Post at New Albany, Indiana, informing him of the artillery firing there, the casualties, and the first crossing of the rebel forces, and requesting that assistance and artillery be sent us. The dispatch reached him on the 8th, at 12 o'clock, twenty-five hours before the rebels appeared in force before my lines here. I dispatched three or four times afterward, the same day, requesting assistance and artillery, also, on the following morn- ing. Assistance and artillery was promised, but for some cause it was never sent from New Albany. An infantry force of drilled men of 2,000, and two pieces of artillery-which I think could have been sent-would have defeated the rebels and prevented the capture of the town. Of this I have no doubt. What guns were in the armory, not drawn by organized companies, were given to the citizens. We have 500 guns in good order, with proper accoutrements, in the com-

james, mol left m our armory. The others drawn by this counts anderen poured and destroyed by the rebels ; however, a few may be reported hereafter. If so. I will make a proper report thereof. Sogne 309 horses were captured from citizens of this county, and but is have been recovered. Eleven wounded rebels were left in our urge, two of whom died. The remainder were reported to Major Fiyat New Albany, two of whom were Lieutenants. Sixteen of a wants who crossed at Twelve Mile Wand, above Louisville, intending com Morgan's forers, were captured by men belonging to my com- rand, one of whom was a Captain, and reported to Major Fry at N & Aringy. Nineteen very good horses were captured by the is sion, and bring claimed by the Deputy Provost Marshal and others. vender united States authority, were delivered into their custody.

I proceeded to enroll all the minute men that offered a services to repel the raid of the rebel General John Morgan, 11 : 5 P. M. had the satisfaction to report to you, by telegraph. For Sale, 110 men. In answer, I received your order, by tele- my j. to have my company ready to go on train to Mitchell next iske mand. I found that, for raw troops, there were too many ura : , or handled in one company, and on the morning of the 10th, i finland in, men int , two companies, under command of Captain top 2 R. fur and Peter Kopp, and fully completed the organiza- (h 1 .. .

irrisol the companies into a battalion, and at 10 A. M. shipped ni shend !. having an aggregate of 150 men, rank and file, which i reported you by telegraph. This number was soon increased, until I . epages were filled up above the maximum number. At 2 1. M. of the lith, I was violently attacked with bloody flux, but con- ·inted on duty until toward noon, when I became so much prostrated is to be unable to give any further attention to duty.
Previous to this. in compliance with your order, I detailed ten -uri. I men from my companies, under command of Sergeant A. Hitchcock, to guard a train as near Salem as practicable.
This was the last duty I performed under your immediate orders, md. fwiing myself sinking very fast from the continued attack of Inx. I went home for treatment. on the train carrying the detailed mard.
On the evening of the 12th, having satisfactory assurance that the danger was over in the vicinity of the train, I took the responsibility
39
MORGAN RAID.
to order the guard to report to me at Campbellsburg, on the 13th, at 8 A. M., which they did ; and, as I had begun to recover partially, I took command of the squad, with some additional volunteers who offered their services to join your command, all of which I took to Mitchell, where I reported to Colonel Kise, Post Commander, who ordered us forward by the O. & M. R. R., to join your command. We got transportation to Seymour, on the night of the 13th, where I reported to the officer in command of the Post, who ordered us forward, on the morning of the 14th, to Osgood.
On reaching Osgood, Colonel Mulky ordered me to halt my squad and guard a supply train lying at that place. I remained at Osgood until the evening of the 15th, when I obtained transportion for four cars of supplies belonging to your command, and twenty-eight men, and brought them to Tripton or North Vernon, where I remained over night. Here I reported to Adjutant General Noble, by tele- graph, on the morning of the 16th, and, learning that the minute men were being disbanded, and several of the men with me being farmers, whose crops were wasting, I brought the men under my command to Campbellsburg, and took their arms and accoutrements, (eleven sets not all complete) and sent them home. I also took the arms of some men who were sent back on the march, on account of sickness, with their arms, and those of some men who had been armed by 2d Lieutenant H. A. Smith, of Captain Carr's Company H, 10th Regiment, without having been enrolled or sworn in. I have. up to the present time, (Saturday, July 18th) collected in all seventeen stands, and have information of two other stands that I will endeavor to obtain. These I will take to Indianapolis the com- ing week and turn over to the Adjutant General, unless I am other- wise ordered. Hoping that this report of my services, though they may not have been entirely regular, may receive your approval,
