THE BOYS IN BLUE (Continued from page 1.) 700 men were furnished from this one little county. The draft was put in force but once, in Oct., 1862, then 37 men were drawn. I was told a certain per cent of these 37 did service in Canada. When another draft was threatened, the commissioners offered S3OO in bounty. The county paid out $30,000, $18,359.44 for relief of families in all the county. Expended the handsome sum of $82,894.44. One of sadest days in the history of Adams county was when the president called for 600,000 more and Adams responded w’ith three full companies 325 strong. This not only took the youths of the county, but the husband and father also. The draft was imminent, and the commissioner offered a bounty of SIOO to each man. and $5.00 to each wife and SI.OO for each child under 14 years of age. This was accepted by the three companies enlisted at that time, and later on, when there was no draft in sight, the honorable board of commissioners repealed that law, giving the women and children their monthly allowance, and when the war was over, the men the compact had been made with, employed I. R Bobo to institute suit against the commissioners and collected every cent off the county that was due them. This call took every son out of some families. There was scarcely a home but what was touched directly or indirectly. The Decatur Eagle, now the Democrat, A. J. Hill, proprietor, was elected captain of Co. H., and he took the entire force of his office, including the devil for a drummer boy. The three companies H. I, and K have at this time one living officer, Co. H, H. R. Patterson; Co. I.] Lieut. John Blood; Co. K, Lieut Henry , McLean. Captain E. S. Metzger and First Lieut. Henry McKean of Co. K were with their company through its entire term of service. The three companies spoken of were assigned to the 89th and mustered in on the 28th of August, 1862. C. D. Murry, Col. Under command of Lt. Col. Hervy Craven, the regiment was on the second day of September sent to Murfordsville to reinforce the garrison at that place. After a long and stubborn resistance, the garrison was compelled to suri)?nder to vastly superior numbers on the 16th of September. The officers and men were paroled. It is needless to state they never surrendered alter that. After a furlough to their homes, they reassembled at Indianapolis on the 27th of Oct., the order for their exchange being received. On the sth of December was assigned to A. J. Smith s division.

It would bo too lengthy for me to follow up their marches and battles. They participated in and took part in ten battles, and no end of skirmishes. It was mustered out on the 19th of July, 1865. reaching Indianapolis on the 4th of August, where it was publicly received by Gov. Morton in the state house grove, and was finally discharged. During its term of service the 89th suffered losses as follows: 31 killed. 167 wounded and 4 missing, total of 202. It inarched 2,363 miles on foot, by steamer 7,112 miles, by rail 1.232, a total of 10,707 miles. In the autumn of 1863 a number of men were raised in Adams county for the 11th Indiana cavalry and became part of Co. C. On the Ist of March. 1864, the organization was perfected at Indianapolis. On the Ist of May the regiment left the general camp and moved thence by rail to Nashville, Tenn. On the 7th of May went into camp of instructions and remained there until the Ist of June. It then marched into northern Aabama and was placed on duty along the line of I The regiment was kept on duty until The regimentw as kept on duty until the 16th of October, when it was marched back to Nashville, where it was mounted and sent to the front in the campaign in front of Nashville in Nov. and Dec. it was actively engaged. On May 17th it was ordered for duty along the Santa Fe R R at which place it continued until Sept. Ist. when it was ordered to Ft. Leavenworth, where it arrived on the 11th of Sept On the 19th of Sept., 1865, the regiment was mustered out and reached Indianapolis on the 26th of Sept., with 30 officers and 572 men under command of Col Abram Sharra for final discharge and payment. The 13th cavalry was the last cavalry regiment organized in this state. A large part of Co. G in this regiment was composed of men enlisted in the county in the winter of 1864, by Capt. I. C Wilson. On the 30th of April, 1864. it left Indianapolis for Nashville, Tenn. The regiment went into camp of instructions until the 31st of May, when it was ordered to Huntsville, Ala., for the purpose of garrisoning that place. On the 30th of Nov. they had orders from Gen. Thomas to watch the movements of Hood's army, then advancing on Nashville. Six companies participated in the battele of Nashville of the 15-16 of Dec. Immediately after they were joined by the other companies from Murfreesboro. On the 11th of Feb.. 1865. the 13th embarked for New Orelans, out OLem

barked at Vicksburg to prepare for a raid on the Mobile and Ohio R. R. I It reported to Gen. Canby and assisted I in the operation against the forts once | the defense of Mobile. After the fall of Mobile, under the command of Gen. , Grierson, the regiment was placed in 1 condition for a long march, and on . the 17th of April, started on a raid j of some 800 miles through the states of Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, arriving at Columbus, Miss., on the 1 22nd of May. then proceeded to Macon, Miss, guarding that joint and the line of railroad 60 miles in extent, and taking possession of immense quantities of captured commissary and ordnance stores. On the 6th of June the regiment returned to Columbus, Miss., and remained there until orders were received for muster out. It was mustered out on the loth of Nov., 1865, proceeding homeward. It reached Indianapolis on the 25th of Nov. with 23 officers and 633 men for final discharge. When I look back from ’6l to 65 and think of the hardships and privations the women and children endured it's marvelous that as many mothers lived through the awful strain as did to care for their families. It would be Impossible for me to give an exact account of all the grand deeds done by Adams county soldiers during the civil war but I will quote Gov. Morton’s tribute to the bravery and good behavior of the Indiana soldiers: While we rejoice in the bravery displayed by ail the armies of the United States, it is a subject of profound congratulation that the Indiana troops have behaved with uniform and distinguished gallantry in every action in which they have been engaged. They formed a part of every army in the field, and have been among the foremost in deeds of daring, while their | blood has hallowed every soil. The I part Indiana has taken in the war is a matter upon which the citizen of the state may justly pride themselves. Not a single regiment, battery or battalion from this state has brought reproach on the national flag, and no disaster of the war can be traced to any want of fidelity, courage or efficiency on the part of any Indiana officer. It is but justice to the brave men who have represented us on almost every battle field to say that their deeds have placed Indiana in the front rank of those heroic states which rushed to the rescue of the imperiled government of the nation. The American soldier has taught the world a lesson before which it stands in amazement, how. when the storm of battle had passed, he could lay aside his arms put off the habiliments of war and return with cheerfulness to the gentle pursuits of peace, and show how the bravest of soldiers could become the best of citizens. When the call for troops to go to Cuba's rescue, Adams county responded with one company. They made the entire trip and return in just one year, without the loss of one man. Adams county has furnished her share for the Philippines as we all know. Follow the military history of the county from 1846 to the present time. There is nothing that future generations need be ashamed of. ‘ Oh, ne'er may the nation again be cursed with conflict so dark and appalling, Foe grappled with foe, till the life blood burst from their agonized bosoms in falling."
