was surrendered, and the fort was occupied at 2 o'clock in the af- ternoon.


The national troops, after disposing of the material and prison- ers captured, re-embarked on the transports and sailed down the Yazoo River to Young's Point, Louisiana, where they arrived on the 23d of January. During the stay of the regiment in this camp it suffered severely from sickness and death, losing over one hundred men in the space of six weeks.


From the 1st of December, 1862, to the 6th of February, 1863, the regiment was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel H. B. May- nard, Colonel Cradlebaugh being absent in Washington City. From the 6th of February until March, 1863, it was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel John A. Kelley. March 1, 1863, Colonel Cradlebaugh returned, and took command.


March 8, 1863, the 114th moved to Milliken's Bend, Louisiana, and went into camp, where it remained until the 5th of April. .


April 5, 1863, the national army, under General Grant, moved against Vicksburg. The 114th was in the whole of this campaign, and participated in the battle of Thompson's Hill, May 1, 1863 ; Champion Hills, May 16,1863 ; Big Black Bridge, May 17th; and the seige of Vicksburg. In the battle at Thompson's Hill it lost several men killed and wounded in a charge made upon the ene- my about 5 o'clock in the evening. The enemy was driven from the field, and two pieces of artillery, with a number of prisoners, were captured. The rebels were pursued until dark.


In the battle of Big Black Bridge, the regiment had a number killed and wounded. Among the killed was Lieutenant Kennedy, of Company C.


In the battle of Vicksburg, May 22, 1863, Colonel Cradlebaugh was severely wounded in the mouth, and a number of men killed and wounded.


May 22, 1863, Lieutenant Colonel Kelley again took command of the regiment, Colonel Cradlebaugh's wound having disabled him from duty.


On the 25th the regiment was ordered to Warrenton (ten miles below Vicksburg), to garrison that post. This duty was quite severe, consisting of strict guard and fatigue duty. On the 14th of July the regiment was ordered back to Vicksburg, where it re- mained in camp until the 13th of August. It was then sent to Corralton, six miles above New Orleans. September 6th it moved

by rail to Brashear City, or Berwick Bay, and remained there up to October 3d. It then marched by way of Franklin, New Iberia, and Vermillionville, to Opelouses, Louisiana, a distance of about two hundred miles from New Orleans. Remaining at Opelouses but a few days, the regiment marched back to New Orleans, where it arrived November 22, 1863. This campaign was rather pleasant; the whole of it being made without the slightest trouble from the enemy.


November 28, 1863, the regiment embarked at New Orleans, and sailed for Texas. Landing at Pass Caballo, it went into camp at Decrow's Point, December 3, 1863. It remained on this barren sand coast until the 14th of January, 1864, and then moved to Matagorda Island. Remaining at this place until April 18, 1864, it was ordered to Alexandria, Louisiana, and arrived there April 26th.


General Banks' army was met at Alexandria, where it had fallen back after its disastrous repulse. . While at Alexandria the regi- ment was engaged in the affair at Graham's plantation, twelve miles out on the road.


The national forces retreated from Alexandria, May 13th, and arrived at Morganza, Louisiana, on the Mississippi River, May 22d. The enemy was engaged, and defeated at Marksville and at Yellow Bayou. This campaign was very severe-forced marches of ten days duration through the stifling heat and dust, and being continu- ally harassed by the enemy, on both flank and rear, made it almost unendurable. As the Mississippi appeared in view, the weary host sent up a glad shout at the certainty that their troubles and fatigues had for a time ended.


Colonel Cradlebaugh did not take command of the regiment after having been wounded, but resigned October 20, 1863. Lieu- tenant Colonel John H. Kelley, was promoted and commissioned colonel to rank, from October 20, 1863, but was not mustered ; the regiment being reduced below the minimum.


While the 114th lay at Morganza, it was concerned in several raids, scouts and skirmishes, but did not meet with any severe en- gagements. On November 21, 1864, the regiment was ordered to the mouth of White River, Arkansas, arriving there November 26th. While at this point, the 120th Ohio was consolidated with the 114th by which the following named officers were rendered sup- ernumery, and were honorably mustered out of service: Captains,

James Duffy, William H. Shultz, John C. Hays and John Brandt ; First Lieutenants, M. B. Radcliff, A. B. Messmore, Benjamin S. Shirely, James M. Davis and Alexander S. Thompson; Adjutant Lewis M. Earnest, and Surgeon O. E. French.


On December 6, 1864, the regiment was ordered to Morganza, Louisiana, where it arrived on the 8th, and went into camp the next day. On the 13th and 14th it was out on an expedition to the Atchafalaya River, but did not find the enemy.


January 8th, 1865, the regiment moved to Kenna, Louisiana, where it remained until the 24th, and was then ordered to Barrai- cas, Florida. It remained at this camp up to May, 1805, when the war having virtually ended, it was sent with other forces to Texas. In July it was ordered to Columbus, Ohio, to be paid off and mus- tered out.


During its term of service, the 114th marched by land and water over ten thousand miles, performing duty in ten different states, and was engaged in eight hard fought battles and many skirmishes. It was successful in all except the affair at Chickasaw Bayou. It lost in killed and wounded, six officers and eighty men. The loss by disease was very great the first year, about two hundred men having died, and quite a number discharged for disability.


The latter part of the service of the regiment was singularly free from casualties. For nineteen months no regimental burying oc- curred, an almost miraculous exception.
