SIXTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY.
The Sixth Infantry left en route for the field, with 944 officers and men, August 30. 1861, adding to its roster within the half year 130 recruits. The regiment left Balti- more for New Orleans in April, 1862, and formed one of the regiments of occupation. During the battle of Baton Rouge, August 5, 1862, it sustained a loss of sixteen killed. During the year, no less than 143 died of wounds and disease, forty-eight wounded and seven prisoners, which, together with losses'due to other causes, reduced its strength to 756 rank and file.
January 14. 1863, the command aided in the destruction of the rebel gunboat Cotton; Ponchatoula was captured February 23: the camp at Tangissaho and sixty rebels captured May 6; the capture of Port Hudson occurred July 9, in all of which the Sixth Infantry took a leading part. In the first assault on Port Hudson, the command lost one-third of its number. A regiment of Heavy Artillery was formed out of the material of the Sixth Regiment, July 30, 1863. During the first six months of the year. there died 115 men and twenty-two were severely wounded.
The varied service of this regiment during the campaign of 1864 was of no ordinary character. The command lost three men killed. 155 died of disease and eighteen taken prisoners. During the last months of service, it took part in all the affairs from Ashton, Ark., July 24, 1864, to the seige of Mobile, April, 1865, and was discharged at Jackson, September 5, 1865.
John C. H. Kłokow was discharged August 20, 1865, he being the only Macomb vol- unteer reported in the ranks of this command.
SEVENTH INFANTRY,
The Seventh Infantry was mustered in at Munroe, and left for the the seat of war September 5, 1861, with 884 men and officers, to which number 214 men were added before July 1, 1862. It participated in the sanguinary affairs of Ball's Bluff. Antietam and Fred- ericksburg. It was the first Union regiment to cross the Rappahannock, where it annihi- lated the rebel sharp-shooter brigade.
The regiment passed through the Potomac campaign of 1863, with a loss of sixty dead and eighty-three wounded, of which number twenty-one were killed and forty-four wounded at Gettysburg July 3.
This command took a very brilliant part in the campaign of 1864. with the Army of the Potomac. It lost forty-one men killed, seven who died from the effects of hardships, 13I wounded and thirty one prisoners. The Seventh Infantry served with distinction at Hatcher's Run, from February 5 to March 29, 1865; at Cat Tail Creek, April 2; at Farm.

EIGHTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY.
The Eighth Michigan Infantry was partially organized at Grand Rapids, and com- pleted organization at Fort Wayne, September 23, 1861, when it was mustered into serv- ice, and left for the field September 27. under Col. Fenton. Its first engagement was at Port Royal, S. C., and its last at Petersburg, Va., April 3, 1865. This command was singularly fortunate in its varied travels, and gained for itself the name "Wandering Regiment." Having participated in thirty-seven important engagements, the survivors of the war returned to Detroit August 1, 1865, where they were discharged two days later.
Adolphus Moore died at Washington September 20, 1864, and Anthony Shettler was discharged June 1, 1865, they being the only troops reported from Macomh in this regi- ment.
NINTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY.
This command left the camp at Detroit en route for Louisville. October 25, 1861, un- der Col. W. W. Duffield, with 913 officers and private sokliers. The Ninth was the first Michigan regiment to take an active part in the Western military movements. In No- vember, 1861, it moved to Muldraugh Hill, where it acted as " engineers and mechanics" until January 4, 1862, when it entered on regular field duty. From Pulaski. Tenn., and the pursuit of Morgan, in May, 1862, to its last engagement at Jonesboro, Ga., September 1, 1864. the record of the command is exceptionally brilliant. The number of battles in which it participated is not so large as that appearing to the credit of other regiments, yet the importance of those great contests, and the round of duty which fell to the com- mand, make up in greater measure what their actions want in number. In the State records, an error gives credit to the Ninth for being present at Murfreesboro July 13, 1861, though not organized until October of that year. Beginning with Murfeeesboro of July 13, 1862. and looking over the list of battles, we find that the Ninth took a brilliant part at Lavergne, December 27, 1862; at Stone River, from December 29, 1862, to Janu- ary 3, 1863; at Chickamanga, September 19 and 20, and Mission Ridge, November 25, 1863; at Rocky Face, Ga., May S: Resaca, May 14: Dallas, May 27; Kenesaw.

The Eleventh Infantry left White Pigeon December 9, 1861, with 1,004 men and officers. for Kentucky. The only service rendered by the command in 1862 was the repulse of Morgan at Gallatin. Tenn., August 13. 1862. Previous to November of that year, no less than 118 soldiers of the Eleventh succumbed to disease.
On the 31st of December, 1862. and the 2d of January, 1863. the regiment, then in the Fourteenth Army Corps, was warmly engaged at Stone River, losing thirty-two killed. seventy-nine wounded and twenty-nine missing, a total of 140. Soon after this engage ment, the regiment was detached to act as provost guard at Murfreesboro, and it remained on that duty until the advance on Tullahoma, in June. On the Ist of July, it was en- gaged in a sharp skirmish at Elk River, with the loss of one officer, taken prisoner. After the conclusion of this movement of the army, the Eleventh went into camp at De- cherd, Tenn., where it remained until the advance into Georgia, on the Ist of September. The march over the mountains was accomplished under great difficulties, and at a test of great endurance on the part of the troops. On the 11th of September, the command was present at Davis' Cross Roads, covering the retreat of Negley's and Bayard's troops. On the 19th of the same month, the regiment lost seven killed, seventy-six wounded and twenty-three prisoners.

TWENTIETH MICHIGAN INEANTRY.
Israel J. Barry, discharged May 30. 1865. was the only soldier from Macomb re- ported in this command.
TWENTY-FIRST MICHIGAN INFANTRY.
This regiment was organized at Ionia, under Commandant J. B. Walsh, in July, 1863; mustered in September 4. and left for the seat of war, under Col. Stephens, September 12. Its service began at Perryville, Ky .. October S. 1862, and finished at Bentonville. March 19, 1865. The command returned and was disbanded at Detroit June 27. 1865.
TWENTY-SECOND MICHIGAN INFANTRY.
The story of this command was graphically related by Capt. Edgar Weeks, now a lawyer of Mount Clemens. in his oration. delivered August 31. 1871, before the members of the old command, then assembled at Port Huron. From his sketch of the regiment the following is taken: "I shall never forget that the 30th of July, 1862, brought me my commission as Adju- tant of the Twenty-second Michigan Infantry, together with an order from the Command- ant of the rendezvous (the lamented Col. Wisner) to report at once for duty at Pontiac. That, the evening of the same day found me, a stranger in that city, receiving orders from my superior officer. and surrounding myself with the cares of my new position.
The organization of the regiment commenced about that day, and. under the super- vision of Col. Wisner, was rapid and successful, and who of us will ever recall with any but pleasant emotions, those glorious days from the 1st of August to ths 4th of September, 1862, which we spent upon the fair grounds in Pontiac, teaching ourselves what we could of military discipline and preparing for the unknown duties of the future. Who among us will cease to remember the crowds of friends who daily came to visit us, bringing with them such overwhelming kindnesses, and departed followed by such boundless thanks from us. Almost every new-comer who joined our ranks was welcomed then as we can fancy the armies recruiting for the conquest of Palestine were wont to welcome each high- born and valiant knight who joined the swelling host from the wide ends of Christendom. The scene and occasion with us was not wanting in some of the elements of that romantic day, for those were loyal ladies at Pontiac, who, upon the eve of our departure, gave to the Twenty-second that splendid banner which was to lead the regiment to victory and fame. That glorious flag, which proved, indeed, a 'harbinger of victory,' and whose folds on many sanguinary fields became . The sign of hope and triumph high. '
It was on the 4th day of September, 1862, that we bid adieu to Pontiac and our old camp ground. The incidents of that day will long preserve a place in our memory. for it was a day of sad partings from friends and from homes. A thousand tender things oc- curred which we shared in feeling with each other: a thousand hearts throbbed with emo- tion at separations, which, alas. were final for so many. But with farewells to those dear relations and associations, the men of the gallant Twenty-second embarked for the perils and chances of a long campaign and the days that opened then were days which possessed a charm which separate them from all the others we had ever known; days in which we

enjoyed the romance, as well as realized the realities of war's dangers and war's sometimes harmless alarms. At the date of which we now speak, the war had been waged with various snc- eesses for seventeen months, and the rebels, flushed with recent victories at Richmond and Lexington, Ky., had marched across that State and were laying siege to Cincinnati and Cov- ington. Their flag flaunted in the breezes of the Ohio, and was almost mirrored in its bosom. The whole Northwest was filled with alarm at the prospect of an invasion of the Free States, and all the available forces of the country were being hurried to the scene of apprehended danger. On the southern bank of the Ohio were gathered the loyal sons of the Northwest to the defense of their . Queen City '-men from Indiana, Michigan, Illi- nois and the . Squirrel Hunters' of Ohio, as well as her artisans and the business men of her cities. The Twenty-second was on the way to join them.
