WAB  BEMINISSiNOES. 

In  the  month  of  September,  1861  a  detail  from  Co.  B.  was  doing  picket 
duty  on  VanderburgH  Hill,  which  locality  was  noted  at  that  time  for  its  sharp 
picket  firing,  and  the  boys  becoming  disgusted  with  it,  determined  to  punish 
the  Johnes'.  So  one  morning  Second  Sergeant  Thos.  D.  Jones  gethered  a 
few  of  Co.  B.  boys  around  him,  and  they  determinded  to  attack  a  strong  pick- 
et post.  It  was  just  at  the  peep  of  day  when  they  started,  but  it  was  not  long 
before  they  found  what  they  were  looking  for—  a  fight—  nor  was  it  long  be- 
fore that  picket  post  was  driven  in,badly  whiped  losing  all  their  equipments. 
1'he  plunder  captured  by  Sergeant  Jones  and  his  siinad  was  divided  as  far  as 
it  wont,  and  the  l»oyH  <Hincluded  they  had  glory  oncjugh  for  one  day. 

On  the  23  of  May,  1H«2  the  4th  Mich,  with  the  rest  of  the  fifth  corps  was  on 
the  march  one  of  the  Steuben  boy's  Homer  E.  Fisher  being  fatigued  was  allow- 
ed by  the  Caj)tain  to  fall  in  the  rear  of  the  company,  the  Major  of  the  regiment 
rode  up  t<t  Fisher  and  ordered  him  into  the  ranks.  An  altfircation  ensued  in 
which  tlie  Major  got  the  worst  of  it.  Of  course  Fisher  was  arrested  foe 
iusubopdination,  and  (hat  night  tried  by  drum  head  court  martial  and  con- 
victed. The  next  morning  tho  regiment  was  sent  out  on  a  reconnaissaiico  to 
ascertain  tho  site  of  New  Bridge  which  had  been  distroyed  by  the  rebels, 
Fisher  hearing  of  the  probabilities  of  a  fight  begged  to  go  along.  He  was  allow- 
e  I  to  go  and  in  the  fight  that  followed  on  the  banks  of  tho  (^hickahomany,  he 
became  separated  from  his  company,  and  going  alcjno  down  to  the  left, 
coinpletly  destroyed  a  strong  piket  post  of  five  rebtih,.  Ft>r  his  good  con- 
duct that  day  his  sentance  of  tho  niglit  before  was  commuted.  This  was  tho 
third  time  that  a  reconnaissance  had  betm  made  to  locate  this  passage  of  the 
Chickahomany  River,  and  to  tho  glory  of  rhe  4th  Mich,  be  it  said  they  il  id 
tlmir  work  well.  'I',  y  foriled  the  river  t<j  get  at  the  enemy,  and  drovo  a 
brigaile  of  Louisia       ns  from  thoir  works,  with  a  loss  of  three  n\on   killed    and

A  Daiiiif^f  i;x|)loit  of  Co.  I. —  In  di^fi'iico  of  Island  No.  10  (ho  enciny  liad 
planted  a  hadcu-y,  of  No.  (M  heavy  rifled  yuns,  Leliind  works  at  a  bend  of  the 
Mississippi  river  above  tlie  Island,  thus  ct)niniandiny  the  river  above.  Ad- 
miral Foote  informed  the  Colonel  of  the  't2nd  111.  that  it  was  necessary  tti  silence 
or  distroy  these  guns.  The  Colonel  selected  Co.  I.  for  the  business.  So  ouo 
.dark  night  they  liropped  silently  down  the  river  in  IxKitsv/ilh  niunUd  oars, 
landed  and  scaled  the  works  and  effectuly  sjjiked  every  gun,  taking  the  enemy 
so  completely  by  surj)rise  that  the  mischief  was  done  and  they  away  bef(;ro 
the  ene^my  could  rally  in  defence.  The  next  night  the  Union  gun  boats  run 
the  blockade  anil  geting  l)elow  the  Island  thus  compelling  its  surrender  with 
7,000  [)risoners. 

Joliu  Carson  and  Wm.  Jarrard  were  two  members  tliat  are  well  kiunvn  in 
the  county,  good  citizens,  true  to  comrades,  liberal  to  calls  of  distress  or 
public  needs. 

William  Jauuakd,  was  in  the  thn*;  moTiths  service  prior  to  joining  Co.  J. 
whtu'e  he  remaiiud  during  tlu)  war,  since  attentive  to  his  business  in  a  strictly 
quiet  way. 

JouK  Cabson,  had  the  reputation  of  being  the  best  2>i'uvider  and  forager,  in 
which  his  comrades  all  Bhared,  but  the  Corinth  swamp  water  comiielled  his 
discharge.  He  again  enlisted  in  the  128th  (>.  V.  I.  Hv  has  occuipied  a  public 
j)OKit;on  for  many  years,  and  is  noted  for  promptness  in  its  discharge,  and 
is  quick  tt)  notice  and  resent  an  imposition  or  neglect  to  a  soldier. 

P^irson's  fund  of  army  life  remiuissances  are  many,  luwelates  one  wMiich 
proves  Jarrard  to  be  the  original  dis(!overer  of  tlw  negro's  quitdc  addeption  to  a 
soldier's  drill.  Near  Sodalia,  Mo.  in  Dec,  IHIll  Co.  1.  was  guarding  a  se(;tion  of 
railroad  Jarrard  and  Gordon  Carpenter  were  [ilaecd  on  a  beat.  A  negro  cross- 
ed it  carrying  whiskey  that  his  master  liad  si  nt  for,  of  eours<i  it  was  thci  duly 
of  the  guards  to  investigate  by  sam])ling,  they  liid  this  s(»  w'l  11  thai  Cavpeutei' 
broke  his  gun,  and  departed  for  camp,  l)ul  Jarrard  saw  the  fatuie  of  the 
n(»gro  as  a  stvhlier,  and  held  him  ft>r  drill  in  "al)oul  face,"  "right  fuc(^," 
"inarch,"  t-vA.  'I'Ik' luigro's  mastiT  bi^coming  anxious  came  along  to  look  for 
his  ])r(»p(irly,  Jarrard  made  him  fall  in  as  a  recruit  and  ))ut  ilusm  bolh  tlirougli 
the  drill,  eoin[>e!"'ng  tjbedienoe  to  orders  by  the  us(!  ot  the  bayonet,  'I'hun

It  was  again  in  the  fiay  at  Stone  River  where  it  sustained  its  record  and 
natne.  and  the  battle  reports  of  Chieamauga  add  a  luster  to  its  history. 
Durinp  tlie  different  evolutions,  incident  to  a  large  battle,  the  44th  became 
dutachi-d  from  its  brigade,  and  hearing  heavy  fighting  on  the  left,  C()l.  Al- 
dricli  marched  his  men  to  that  point.  Its  iurival  and  support  was  wry 
fortunate  to  (len.  'I'honuis  and  to  the  day. 

In  wrsiern  riginunts  an  intiniaey  .xisted  between  otlieers  and  nun  not 
seen  in  rtgiments  of  Hw  cast.  A  lul  in  no  regiment  of  the  west  was 
this  iutimaey  more  a[ipt.u-,iat  t!uiu  in  the  44th  still  it  did  not  destroy  discipline 
nor  the  faithful  pcrforunce  of  duty,  nor  was  the  education  of  military  tactics 
neglected,  as  a  pro^jf  of  this  the  following  bit  of  history  is  given.  In  the 
spring  of  18(15  a  nice  Colonel's  sword  was  to  be  given  l)y  the  ladies  of  the  west 
to  the  best  drilled  regiment  in  ths  army  of  tlie  Cumberland,  many  regiments 
competed,  among  them  U.  S.  F.egular.^  The  44th  Ind.  won  the  prize,  and  it 
was  prou'ily  reeeived  by  thiir  Colonel.

It  was  but  natural  after  (he  close  of  the  greatest  civil  war  in  history,  that 
the  soldiers  would  seek  to  assemble  together  to  })rcserv('  the  meinuiics  of 
army  associations,  strengthen  fraternal  fe'.ling,  and  render  aid  and  piotieli(;n 
to  neeuy  comrades  or  those  dependent  upon  them.  A  society  calUii  the 
Grand  Army  of  (he  Republic  was  instituted  immediately  after  the  close  of  tlu- 
war  in  IHtJo,  and  spread  rapidly  over  the  north.  In  the  winter  of  186(1 -7  Geo. 
E.  Young,  Ijawrence  Gates,  and  William  I'helps  went  to  ^Vattrloo  and  were 
initiated  into  the  Grand  Army  of  tlie  Repulilic,  came  home  and  organized  a 
post  at  Angola  with  (Comrade  Gates  as  commander.  This  post  lived  nearly 
thrc'e  years  Clias.  F.  Kinney  was  commander  iIk^  second  year,  and  \Vm.  11.

This  post  makes  it  u  duty  to  strictly  legiird  Momorial  Day  in  lioiior  ot 
di'ud  comi-iidea.  Tho  list  of  past  commanders  is  not  long  Comrades  Greena-

I'EllSONAL  MENTIONS  OF  A  FKW    ACTIVE  MliMUKitK. 

J.  (;.  Smith,  the  post  adjutant  enlisted  in  a  regiment  that  made  an  honor- 
able record,  lie  now  gisis  as  strict  attention  to  his  duties  as  an  officer  and 
citizen,  as  he  did  '2C>  years  ago  to  those  of  a  soldier. 

Chaulks  Clink  is  an  independent  farmer  ot"  Salem  Township  with  a  good 
record  in  the  army  and  he  still  sustaines  tho  same.  He  served  as  township 
assessor  until  tired  uf  puhlic  service. 

J.  (;.  WiivsoNii  serveil  his  full  time  in  the  service  as  a  soluiers  mid  received 
marks  that  are  still  on  his  person.  After  liis  discharge  he  done  provost  duly 
at  home  until  tlu'  enil  of  the  war  lie  is  an  enterprising  citizen  and  takes 
a  -freat  inlciest  in  pulilic  allairh.  He  is  courteous  to  all  and  true  to  a 
friend. 

I).  B.  and  Samuel  L'ltEOEiiicic  were  two  good  supporters  of  Uncle  Sam 
during  the  war  and  still  remain  true  to  connlry,  coiniade  and  post. 

AuAM  Meek  sacrificed  one  of  his  arms  fm-  his  country  but  has  tlianks  for 
life  and  his  good  strong  lungs,  which  ho  gives  vent  to  for  tlie  rights  of  his 
comrades  and  which  are  of  pedunury  benefit  to  himself  as  a  practical 
auctioneer.  Clomrades  and  friends  will  do  well  to  remember  this  if  needing 
such  services. 

John  and  A.  Hoee,  two  respected  citizens,  give  strict  attention  to  to  their 
Inisincss,  with  the  record  of  same  intiuest  in  botlitho  service  and  (i.  A.  K. 

W.  A  (ijuoENAMVKK  is  a  pleasant  genlh'man  and  a  liisl  elas.s  citizen.  He  luis 
occupied  official  positions  of  trust  and  honor  in  masonic  and  (i.  A.  If. 
societies,  especialy  in  the  later  having  been  commandir  of  post  No.  138  for 
a  number  of  years. 

RouLitT  and  Tetkh  SNOwnEnoEii  were  valualjle  sohliers  and  are  valuable 
cili/A-ns  and  show  tlioir  j^oud  fcUlowship  to  comradis  on  all  occasions. 

J.  ('.  Deekman  from  the  li)  Ohio  lias  wiliuMsrH  in  the  county  of  his  soldier 
(lualilii-s  ami  his  mighbois  can  but  spt  ak  well    of  him  as  a  citizen. 

HioNiiv  Haiuiohoh  and  Henkv  HEjKArnoiiN  both  live  near  the  vacinity  of 
Hudson  and  make  it  a  point  to  bo  interested  in  social  comiade~hip  with 
the  nrembers  of  the  post  and  all  other  comrades.

saveil  the  Union,  and  good  enough  for  the  soldier,  who  gave  time,  blood,  and' 
life,  is  equally  good  for  the  bond-holder,  whose  contract  was  made  after  tlio 
soldier  was  iu  the  field. 

Alexandeii  RifUEL  carries  proofs  of  exposure  to  rebel  fire  while  a  member

RLMINlSCENCE  FROM  A  7TH  CAVALRY  BOY. 

I  liavo    bidi  iiquisltd  to  relatt;  the  Bceiics  and  occurtiictH  of  my   luiiiy    litis, 
I     e.-ipicialy  at  ill*  tiuiu  I  was  woundod.     I  had   se(Mi    jiiaiiy    nhaip  liorco  cavalry 
coiitlicts,  lirsl  in  MeChUioiiB  DraguoiiH;  and  last  an  buigiaiit  in  Cu.  K    71h   Iiid. 
Cav.  ill  which  1  cxpciionccd  the  fuliowiiiy  i-Diniiiisceucu. 

Ill  l''cb.,  iHGi,  our  anny  wa.s  moving  uu  a  great  raid  into  Missiariij)i)i.  I  wa.s 
j;ivcii  a  squadof  men  to  l>uin  IniiklingH  and  property  of  worth  to  the  enemy, 
mills,  htonhousis,  graiiioru-.s,  elc.  In  pabniiig  through  JJolly  Springs  wo  l)Urncd 
it  Ilium  to  the  ground,  one  vcr^    nice  I  ;5  run  stoue  grist  mill  went  to  ashe.s. 

Tliirt  part  ol  the  south  en  to  ligyi)t  Hlatien  was  full  of  cribs  of  jerked  corn 
and  tobacco  and  warehouses  of  gram,  all  was  distroyed  l)y  hie  to  keep  it  from 
the  rebels.  Early  one  morning  we  were  routed  out  by  lieavy  picket  tiring,  ihe 
Johnnies  thouglit  we  had  gone  far  enough  and  done  enough.  We  had,  for  they 
made  it  quite  a  lively  picnic  in  licking  us  back.  We  luid  to  run  and  light  on 
the  retreat,  many  of  tlie  boys  knows  how  that  goes,  to  stop  and  check  the 
enemy,  '-uu  and  do  the  same  thing  over  ut  the  next  good  place  you  can  find. 
All  went  will  with  mc  unUl  the  afternoon  of  Felj.  L'2d,  1804,  on  what  waa  called 
tht;  Joy  farm  near  Okalona,  iMi.-^s.,  we  made  a  nice  litth;  charge  on  the  Johnnieb 
whom  we  found  l.iying  behind  a  big  fence  and  we  wen  forced  to  gig  back.  In 
looking  at  them  on  our  retreat  1  was  bhot  through  thv  nose  and  left  clunik  by 
an  explosive  ball  that  sent  me  wliirlling.  I  knev,  tlial  1  wanud  to  get  back  at 
once,  although  Ijadly  wounded  I  wanted  my  hat  and  started  for  it,  but  the  Ji,hn- 

nies  raised  a  yell,  it  rings  in  my  ears  yet,  '"Let  it  lay  you  son  of  a  b ."    I  did 

so  by  telling  them  what  to  do  with  it,  and  started  on  a  run  without  li  hat.  Music 
of  minie  balls,  yells,  with  the  Jonnies  after  me  I  tarried  not,  two  balls  went 
through  my  clothes  just  enough  lo  burn  the  skin.  I  got  away  and  come  out 
at  my  own  com[)any.  Si;rgeant  Eldridgo  caught  a  hoise  for  me  which,  I  rode 
until  the  boys  gtjt  mules,  rope  harness  and  an  old  carriage.  I  rode  for  tliree 
days  iWd  nights  to  CoUiersville,  sent-  to  Memjihis  the  next  day,  iiad  my  wounds 
dressed,  amT something  to  eat  for  the  first  after  being  wounded.  I  stayed  at 
Memphis  three  months,  got  ;;o  days  furlough  for  home,  and  wilh  the  pretty 
face  the  Johnnies  had  given  ine  married  my  l>e..st  girl,  went  back  and  snived 
my  time,  came  home  and  we  now  have  one  son  and  four  daughters,  and  one 
grand  child  that  takes  the  cake. 

I  belong  to  tlie  (j.  A.  K.  my  good  wife  to  the  W.  U.  C  ami  my  son  to  the 
Sons  of  Veterans.  1  l<*ve  nnd  enjoy  post  meetings  and  reunions.  1  and  mine

BATTLE  OP  STONE  RIVER. 

'Ah  Skkn  jiY  Mauvin  H.  BuTr.KU,  Lst  Fjikut.  Vo.  A  41111  Ind.  Vol. 


The  44th  Ind.  bivuuacetl  on  tlie  Nashville  Pike  on  the  evoiiiiig  of  the  30th 
of  Dec,  18<)2.  Here  we  nuidc  our  buJs  rtnd  rapped  our.selves  up  m  our  blaukets 
and  laid  down  and  8h'i>t  fioimdly  dreaming  of  homo  and  loved  ones  all 
uncoiiiiciouH  that  on  the  morrow  this  place  would  be  a  noted  battle  field. 

Early  the  next  morning,  tlio  la.st  day  of  tlio  year,  our  regiment  moved  to 
the  front  of  Gen.  Ilo.senerj'.ntz  lieadcjuarters.  When  tlio  general  came  out  lie 
walked  along  tlu!  regimenlal  line  and  talked  cordially  to  the  boys,  a.^^rfuring 
us  that  a  turriablo  battle  was  pending  and  urged  all  to  stand  by  the  flag  and 
their  guns  and  by  all  means  to  slioot  low.  Wliile  ho  was  yet  talking  to  us  the 
conflict  had  commenced  on  the  riglil,  and  on  looking  in  that  direction  wo 
could  see  that  our  right  wing  was  gradually  giving  away,  ^^'hile  here  an  order 
comes  to  movii  our  eoluma  (u  (he  left.  After  going  a  short  distance  heavy 
firing  <)pened  in  our  rear.  Uui-  (^oliimii  halted  a  monieni,  then  started  on  the 
doubhi  quick  along  llie  main  pike  in  that  direction  for  fully  a  mile,  reaching 
the  point,  we  foiiml  that  (he  ri'.bel  calvary  iuui  captiirei!  our  bagage  train. 
Juf<t  as  we  came  uj>  llie  rebels  gave  way  autl  went  belter  skiltt^r  aerost 
the  field  urged  on  by  a  battery  of  I'arrott  guns  tiring  dcully  vollnys  into 
th'Ur  retreating  ranks.  All  (his  time,  our  rigiil  wing  had  liecn  sorely  pressed 
and  had  grailuully  swung  back  like  a  gato  U|i<.>ii  its  hingt\s  until  it  stood  at 
Iiearly  a  I'ijjht   an;.;le  to  th(!  b.itthi  line  of  tlie  moriiiiig.

along  the  edge  of  the  woods.  We  had  Mcar<rely  got  our  jiosition  when  we  w<M-e 
Iniiled  liy  till'  moht  terriable  fire  from  the  r<lii|  linn  about  Ivm  nty  roils  in  front

Our  line  was  withdrawn,  leaving  our  ileati  and  wiiunded  (o  ihe  mercies  of  the 
oi.Huny,  and  moved  forward  again  along  thu  pike  wlnTe  we  were  abh^  to  i-iuek 
the  enemy's  ailvance  and  hold  our  position  for  Ihe  Ijalanee  o(  Ihe  day.  'I'iiat 
night  we  laid  on       ii  iiohl  not  t<»  dream  or  hlcMtp  but  to  think.

attachud  moved  to  the  left  crossiii^jj  the  river  at  the  ford  and  forimd  our  line 
of  battle  iu  the  face  of  the  enemy  with  the  i-tth  on  the  extreuie  left.  Here  w«s 
remained  all  day  keeping  up  a  constant  Hkinniah  tire  with  the  enemy,  and 
as  night  closed  in  laid  down  on  the  frozen  ground  to  sleep,  dnuun,  think, 
or  freeze.     Froii;  force  of  cireumHtaaee.s  and  not  from  ch(jii;e  I  froze. 

The  early  morning  of  the  2nd  was  (jpened  about  sunrise  by  a  livitiy  artillery 
duel  between  our  left  wing  and  the  enemy's  right,  which  lasted  an  hour  or 
more.  For  those  who  were  throwing  these  Hhells  it  might  have  been  fun, 
but  for  us  poor  frogs,  who  watched  th-,  in,  it  was  death.  A>*  the  artillery  duel 
subsided  a  sliarj)  skirmisii  tire  began  all  along  the  line  which  was  kept  up 
until  about  2  1'.  M.  when  all  became  still.  The  position  of  the  -Itth  an  stated 
above,  was  on  the  extreme  left  and  witli  a  t-trip  of  high  weetls  and  line  brush 
and  a  number  of  while-oak  trees  just  m  fruut.  lUyond  this  strip  of  brush 
was  a  level  plain  terminating  at  tlie  foot  tjf  an  uucv*  u  ridge  or  hills  covered  by

Gen.  Beokenridge.  The  livor  abtjut  eighty  rods  iu  our  rear,  a  very  rapid  and 
crooked  stream,  cuts  t!ir<nigli  the  solid  rook  forming  steep  banks  from  live  lo 
tifteen  feet  in  height.  A  massed  enemy  in  front,  lui  support,  and  only  one 
small  ford  U)  cross  the  river  was  not  a  very  t'nchanling  posit  icni  to  be  in.  From 
2  1*.  M.  to  neaily  H  the  stillness  was  absolutely  oi)pressive.  But,  look!  the  enemy 
is  all  alive.  Their  activity  resembles  tlie  swarming  of  Ixis.  Men  are  gather- 
ing together  in  squads,  and  companies,  reginu'iits  are  j.ouring  down  frj)m 
their  cover  in  the  wood  and  forming  in  colunms  by  divisions  at  the  fut)t  of 
the  hill.  What  a  battle  line.  How  magnitioent  and  s\  steuiaticly  tlnry  uiove, 
as  if  inspired  by  one  man  and  one  thought,  they  come  steadily  but  surely  on. 

Prior  to  and  while  this  was  going  on  m  front  Rosencraniz  was  not  idle. 
Froui  fifty  to  seventy-tive  piecies  of  artillery  were  planted  on  an  elevation 
that  crowned  the  river  on  tlie  rear  sitie  of  us  and  supported  by  a  strong  force 
of  infantry.

iiood's  whole  left  line  was  crushed  like  an  egg  shell,  sending,  the  rebels,  who 
were  not  taken  prisnors.  Hying  across  the  country  t(;ward  the  Franklin  pike, 
their  only  way  of  retreat.  Pursuit  was  continued  until  the  last  of  Hood's 
army  had  crossed  the  Tennessee  river.  The  regiment  next  pre[jared  to  lake 
the  journey  to  North  Carolina  to  join  Gen.  yherman's  forces  and  be  at  the 
death  of  the  great  rebellion. 

Ill  closing  this  article  and  in  justice  to  Col.  Zollinger,  I  wish  to  say  that 
during  a  recent  visit-  of  the  colonel  to  \Vashingt(ni  ho  obtauusd  from  Gen. 
Sohollield,  commander  of  the  U.  S.  army,  an  order  relieving  him  from  guard- 
ing with  his  regimeiit  the  cross-road  two  miles  south  of  iSpring  Hill.  Gen. 
Scholtield  expressed  much  relief  to  satisfy  himetdf  about  that  matter.  lie 
remembered  giving  the  (jrder,  but  in  the  excitement  of  the  times  forgot  thorn 
and  the  number  of  the  regiment,  and  having  never  he;nd  from  the  command 
he  had  felt  uneasy  about  them  ever  since. 

The  12yth  from  its  first  entering  the  service  until  its  discharge  was  active 
participants  in  all  the  loading  campaigns  and  engagements  of  the  southwest, 
and  materially  assisted  in  the  grand  round  up  in  North  Carolina.  Its  record  is 
a  part  of  the  history  of  the  state  and  also  Stiniben  county,  esjjecialy  com[jany 
A,  which  fairly  won  laurels  and  honored  the  right  of  the  rogiment.
