After that term of service closed the surgeon, who came from Delavan, received a gold headed cane, inscribed,

"Surgeon O. W. Blanchard, from the men of the Fortieth Regi- ment Wisconsin Volunteers. God Bless You."
We arrived at Memphis Sunday, June 19, 102 degrees in the shade and 125 in the sun, and in full uniform, marched to an encampment on Brinkley avenue, at A. J. Carne's nursery, oppo- site the railroad from the old fair grounds. Our pieket duty was mostly along Raleigh road and outskirts. We also furnished fifty or sixty men every other day to guard a train of supplies to Smith's army at La Grange, Tenn., or sometimes over the line to Holly Springs, Miss., a country desolated by war. Sometimes we furnished a detachment of forty men to guard the wood yard, containing 40,000 cords of government wood by the river bank, and to pieket the peninsula, formed by the Wolf and Hatchie with a bayou of the Mississippi.
Forrest's raid at 4 o'clock Sunday morning, August 21, shamefully surprised the camp and nearly caught Major General Washburn at his headquarters. General Forrest's first and fourth brigades of cavalry with a section of Morton's battery, about three thousand mounted Confederates, dashed up Her- nando road, killed sixteen Union troops, wounded fifty-three and captured about 140. They lost fifty killed and thirty-six of them were captured unhurt, while the number of their wounded is un- known. The fighting was near St. Agnes' academy. Of the Fortieth, only three were hit, one being Lieutenant Northrup, of Company B, and none were seriously hurt.
For the benefit of our younger readers, we add elsewhere a somewhat more personal account of this "romance of war."
The Forty-second Regiment
contained some sixty-five Roek county men, all in Company H. Captains, Amasa F. Parker, of Janesville; Josiah Thompson, of Beloit.

Artillerymen.
For the Wisconsin light artillery Rock county contributed men to the Fourth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth Batteries.

Captain Vallee resigned July 5, 1863, his successor being George B. Easterly, who was himself succeeded by Dorman L. Noggle, of Janesville. The former officers were all honorably discharged.
Captain Easterly's senior first lieutenant was Martin Mc- Devitt; junior first lieutenant, George Powers; senior second lieu- tenant, George R. Wright; junior second lieutenant, Dorman L. Noggle (first lieutenant, captain) ; staff sergeants, Q. M. S., Charles H. Clark, first sergeant, Cephas L. Sturtevent; duty sergeants, Horatio N. Yarrington, Edwin N.

The remainder of the non-commissioned men were the same men who served under Captain Vallee, except the wagoner, who was Chauncey Baker.
After the resignation of Captain Easterly, Dorman L. Noggle was appointed in his place, the rest of the commissioned officers having resigned. Captain Noggle's senior first lieutenant was Robert Campbell; junior first lieutenant, Burr Maxwell; senior second lieutenant, Delos H. Cady ; junior second lieutenant, Ben- jamin Brown.

In the Tenth Battery we had only one man, Thomas Savage, of Janesville. The Eleventh Battery received these seven Beloit men : Flen Daggett, Adolphus Humphrey, Alexander McAlpin, Theodore I. Perkins, Alexander W. Pomeroy, John Stevens and Franklin K. Wallace.
Our connection with the Twelfth Wisconsin Battery was more important. In 1862, when 250 more soldiers were called for from Rock county, some $8,000 was subscribed as bounty money, to induce volunteering and avoid a draft.
On August 9 E. G. Harlow made application to the adjutant -. general of the state for power to enlist an artillery company in the county, and was refused on the ground that that branch of the service was full. A similar request made by that gentleman to the adjutant-general of the army met with a similar disposi- tion. Finally after some further correspondence Mr. Harlow was commissioned a lieutenant of artillery and authorized to enlist fifty men for the Twelfth Wisconsin Battery, then in the field near Corinth, Miss., as a portion of General Hamilton's division. Lieutenant Harlow immediately opened a recruiting office at the drug store of G. R. Curtis, corner of West Milwaukee and Frank- lin streets, and within forty-eight hours had filled the comple-

ment with twelve men to spare. The recruits went into eamp at Madison without delay and on September 1, or within two days of the date when sworn in, they left Janesville and pro- ceeded at onee to the field of action. But little delay attended their initiation into actual warfare, for they participated in the battle of Iuka on September 19, and thereafter were constantly in the thickest of the fray, following Price down the Hatehie, participating in the bloody fight thereon, and returning to Cor- inth, were engaged during the bloody battles of October 3 and 4, and in the siege of Vicksburg, where after lying in the trenches for fifty days they were gratified with the sight of the stars and stripes substituted for the stars and bars. They were next heard of at Chattanooga, Mission Ridge, Allatoona Pass, Savannah, At- lanta, through the Carolinas, and in Richmond and Washington, which cities were taken on their route to Madison, Wis., where they were mustered out on June 26, 1865.
During the war this Twelfth Battery belonged to the Third Brigade, Second Division, Seventh Army Corps of the Army of the Tennessee; also to the Second Brigade, Second Division, Fif- teenth Army Corps; and was commanded by Generals MePher- son, Sherman, Osterhaus, Logan and Grant.
Rock county had in the Twelfth Battery one Beloit man, Par- don E. Carpenter, who died of disease at Memphis, Tenn., Janu- ary 10, 1863; two from Avon, Nathan B. Riee and William O. Riee; three from Rock, James H. Nuttall, Robert Shields (who lost a leg at Bentonville) and Warren H. Simmons; five from Johnstown, Sylvester C. Cheney (junior first lieutenant), John R.
