TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY.
This magnificent regiment was formed from the surplus men of previous calls, and rendezvoused at Kalamazoo. It was organized under the superintendence of Hon. Heze- kiah G. Wells, and led into the field by Col. Orlando H. Moore,* of Schoolcraft. Benjamin F. Orcutt served as lieutenant-colonel from Sept. 24, 1862, to June 24, 1865. Companies E and H, under the command respectively of Capt. Frank T. Sutton, of Comstock, and Capt. Hiram Cook, of Oshtemo, were mostly made up of men from Kalamazoo County.
The command left Kalamazoo on the 29th day of Sep- tember, 1862, numbering eight hundred and ninety-six men, and proceeded to Louisville, Ky. On the 8th of De- cember it was ordered to Mumfordsville, and from thence to Bowling Green, on the 8th of January, 1863. At the latter point it was employed in picket duty and guarding railroad trains until March 26th, when it took part, with the troops under Gen. Morrison, in the pursuit of the rebels under Gen. Pegram. From April 3d to June 10th it was stationed at Louisville, engaged in provost duty. On the 10th of June five companies, under the commanding officer of the regiment, were ordered to Green River Bridge, near Columbia. Here, on the 4th of July, the force, amounting to about two hundred men, was attacked by a rebel division, under Gen. John H. Morgan, numbering from three thousand to four thousand men.
The ground chosen by Col. Moore for defense against this overwhelming force, which he knew was approaching, was situated in a horse-shoe bend of the river. The line of approach was defended by quite a high bluff, and here the gallant band determined to give the enemy battle. A temporary line of felled trees had been formed into an alattis on one side, while on another a low parapet was thrown up in an open field at a point which would com- mand the enemy's batteries should he put them in position. It was not expected to hold this advance work very long,
and it was so located as to be under an oblique fire from the two flanks of the main line.
In the gray of the morning of the 4th the rebels opened a brisk picket-fire, and pressed in upon the front. The pickets and skirmishers of the 25th fell back and joined the small force of seventy-five men stationed in the outwork, where they held the enemy in check, who soon opened with a battery of four pieces, which after a little time suspended fire, and a flag of truce approached the lines and presented a demand from Gen. Morgan for an immediate and uncon- ditional surrender of the command.
To this peremptory summons Col. Moore returned the following reply : "Present my compliments to Gen. Mor- gan, and say to him that, this being the Fourth of July, I cannot entertain the proposition to surrender." Col. All- ston, the rebel general's chief of staff, who bore the flag, said, " Col. Moore, I hope you will not consider me as dictatorial on this occasion ; I will be frank. You see the breach we have made upon the work with our battery ; you cannot expect to repulse Gen. Morgan's whole division with your little command ; you have resisted us gallantly, and deserve credit for it, and now I hope you will save useless bloodshed by reconsidering your reply to Gen. Morgan."
Col. Moore replied, " Sir, when you assume to know my strength, you assume too much. I have a duty to perform to my country, and, therefore, cannot reconsider my reply to Gen. Morgan." The rebel officer simply extended his hand, and, with much feeling, said, " Good by, Col. Moore ! God only knows which of us may fall first."
The two officers galloped to their respective commands, and instantly the conflict was renewed. The moment the rebel guns opened fire, Col. Moore ordered a line of men to stand up and pick off the gunners, and a close and deadly discharge silenced the battery. A strong force, under the rebel Col. Johnson, then charged the work, which the ad- vance force instantly abandoned, and fell back to the main line. The rebels rode into it, but were soon compelled to abandon it under the deadly fire which Col. Moore concen- trated upon them.
The enemy then made several successive charges, accom- panied with the well-known rebel yell, but were each time driven back with severe loss.
While this fierce work was going on in front, the enemy was engaged in cutting out a road which led along the steep bluff toward the river bottom. They at length effected an entrance into the Union position, and a rebel regiment, com- manded by Col. Chevault, opened fire upon Col. Moore's command. It was a critical moment, but the Union com- mander was equal to the emergency. One company of his force had been held in reserve, and this was now deployed towards the enemy as skirmishers, while the shrill notes of the bugle announced to the enemy the approach of a heavy reinforcement. They were deceived by the skillful strat- egy, and easily driven back through the gorge where they had entered. Their colonel was killed in the retreat.
Up to this time eight determined charges had been made upon the front of the position, and defeated with great loss. Disheartened by the desperate defense and serious loss, after a four hours' conflict, the enemy fell back beyond range
* Col. Moore was a regular army officer, and is still in the service.

with a loss of fifty killed, including thirteen officers, and two hundred wounded, including a number of officers.
It was the plan of the rebel general to capture Louisville, but this obstinate fight of the 25th Michigan deranged all his plans, and saved the city at least from assault, and prob- ably capture. The enemy were granted the privilege of burying their dead under flag.
General Hartsuff complimented the commander and his gallant men in a special order, and the Legislature of Ken- tucky passed a series of complimentary resolutions, and ac- knowledged that the cities of Lebanon and Louisville had been saved by the command.
The rebel Col. Allston, who was captured subsequently, noted in his journal the reply of Col. Moore to Gen. Mor- gan, and added : " The colonel is a gallant man, and the entire arrangement of his defense entitles him to the highest credit for military skill. We would mark such a man in our army for promotion."
On the 19th of July the companies which had remained at, Louisville joined the regiment at Lebanon, and marched with the 23d Corps into East Tennessee.
On the 9th of November the regiment moved from Lou- don to Kingston, East Tenn., where it remained until the 4th of December. On the 26th of November it assisted in the defense of Kingston against the forces of Wheeler and Armstrong, in which the rebels were repulsed with loss; the 25th had two men wounded. On the 29th of Decem- ber it was attacked at Mossy Creek, but the enemy made a hasty retreat during the night. It remained at this point until January 18th, when the Union forces fell back on Knoxville, which place they reached on the 22d. In Feb- ruary and March it was engaged in several reconnoissances, but finally encamped at Mossy Creek on the 18th of March, where it was completely clothed and equipped and prepared for the summer campaign.
On the 26th of April, 1864, it broke camp, and on the 4th of May was with the 4th Corps, on the left of Sherman's army, at Red Clay, Ga. During the great and decisive campaign of the summer of 1864, by Gen. Sherman, against Johnston's army and the city of Atlanta, it served with dis- tinction, and was engaged in the following battles, in all of which it preserved its well-won reputation : Rocky-Face Ridge, May 9th ; Resaca, May 14th ; Dallas, May 26th to 29th ; Pine Hill, in front of Kenesaw, June 15th; Culp's Farm, June 22d; and Nickajack Creek, July 1st.
It was also actively engaged during the investment of Atlanta, and on the 6th of August was hotly engaged near East Point, on the extreme right of the army. It also par- ticipated in the grand flanking movement around Atlanta, August 27th to Sept. 2d, and after the surrender of the city went into camp with its corps at Decatur. During this campaign the command was under fire fifty-eight days, and within hearing of the skirmish-fire for over one hundred days.
In October it participated in the pursuit of Gen. Hood, and on the 31st encamped at Rome, Ga.
It constituted a portion of the 23d Corps ( Army of the Ohio), which fought the battle of Franklin, under Gen. Schofield, and also took part in the battle before Nashville, December 15th and 16th, losing one killed and seven wounded. From thence it was transferred to Washington,
D. C., and soon after to North Carolina, where it partici- pated in the operations of Gen. Schofield's army about Kingston and Newbern. After Johnston's surrender it was sent to Salisbury, N. C., where it remained until June 24th, when it was mustered out, and arrived at Jackson, Mich., on the 2d of July, and was paid and disbanded.
Although the 25th had a most enviable record, and had seen a great amount of active service, it seemed to be one of the " lucky" regiments, as the boys were wont to designate them, and never suffered severe loss, either by battle or dis- ease. Its battle with Morgan gave it a wonderful reputation.
