HISTOKY OF THE FIFTY-EIGHTH INFANTRY.

The Fifty-eighth Illinois Infantry Volunteers was recruited at Camp Dougrlas, Chicago,Illinois on the 11th of February, 1862. The Regiment left Camp Douglas, 887 strong via

the Illinois Central Railroad, for Cairo. Illinois, and reported to Brigadier General E. A.Paine, on the 12th. Was immediately furnished with arms and started from Cairo aboutmidnight, with orders to proceed up the Ohio to Smithland, Ky.. thence up the Cumberland,to the vicinity of Fort Donelson, and report to the ofiicer in charge of United States' forces.

Arrived near Fort Doneison on the night of the 13th, and disembarked at daybreak, the 14th,

having been assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Division. Colonel J. M. Thayer, First

Nebraska, commanding.

Was temporarily assigned to the Second Division, General C. F. Smith commanding.On reporting to General Smith was assigned to the Brigade of Colonel Lauman, of the

Seventh Iowa, and about 11 A. M., 14th, was in position, subject to considerable annoyancefrom the enemy's shell from the fort. In the afternoon two companies were deployed for-

ward, and were briskly engaged for a short time. The men suffered exceedingly from the

intense cold, no fires being allowed. The men were poorly prepared for the severe task

imposed upon them—very few having seen service. The arms furnished them had beencondemned and thrown aside by other Regiments, and there was, in short, no confidence

in them whatever. A few casualties occurred during the evening and night. On the

morning of the 15th was re-assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Division. Was underfire a short time in the morning and in the evening. While attempting to secure an ad-

vanced and desirable position, was considerably cut up and thrown into confusion by a

masked battery, upon which it approached to within 250 yards. For a few moments the

ranks were considerably broken, the fire being entirely unexpected. By moving to the

right, however, a short distance, it was protected from the sweeping fire of grape and can-

ister and reformed, though then exposed to a murderous fire from the enemy's sharpshooters (who swarmed every tree) and skirmishers. Threw out skirmishers and droveback the enemy, and held the same. Night now closed around. When leaving the boats

the Commissary was directed to bring to the Regiment rations for three days, they beingunprovided with haversacks. In the many changes made, the Commissary Sergeant wasunable to find the Regiment, and the men got no rations from Friday morning till Sundaymorning, when they were procured from the Division Commissary at daybreak. On the

morning of the 16th, Sunday, a white flag was seen waving over the fort, denoting its

surrender.

The conduct of the men on this occasion was remarkable; raw men, without rations,

and armed with the most worthless guns, they behaved as well as veterans of a hundredbattles. Remained at Fort Donelson till the afternoon of Tuesday the 18th, when it movedon about 4 miles en route for Fort Henry. Camped for the night, and at 7 A. M., the next day,

resumed the march, and arrived at Fort Henry about noon. The roads were almost im-

passable, and consequently, the march was a most diflBcult one. Remaining at Fort Henrytill it embarked on the transport "Boston," and went up the Tennessee, with the troops

commanded by Major General Smith. Arrived at Crump's Landing, about 4 miles aboveSavannah, and disembarked. Were at once moved out about 11 miles, into the neighbor-

hood of Purdy. During the march it rained incessantly. Remained all night, returning

to transports about 9 P. M. Men very much exhausted. Made a capture of a few rebel

pickets. Remained on transport till morning, then disembarked and went into camp aboutone-half mile from the landing. Remained in camp for several days, drilling and complet-

ing organization of the Regiment.

108 ADJUTANT general's REPORT.

On the 29th of March embarked on steamer, and went up to Pittsburg Landing. Hav-ing been re-assigned to the Division of General C. P. Smith, was directed to report to

Colonel Sweeney, of the Fifty-second Illinois, and was assigned to his Brigade. Went into

camp quite near tho river, not over one-third of a mile distant. Proceeded to change arms,secured transportation, and in every way. completed the organization. On the morning of

Sunday, the 6th of April, was awakened by heavy firing from the front; received orders to

fall in and await further orders. AboutS:30A. M.. was moved out one mile and a half,

when orders were received from General Grant, in person, to take position across a road

and hold that position. Immediately changed front and took the position, as directed.

With some slight changes in position, mainly to the front and perpendicular to the front,

it occupied the same ground all day. From the time of going into the fight, about 9 A. M.,

it was almost continually tinder fire. About 4 P.M.. the right and left were giving way;but orders were imperative to hold the position. At length it became evident that unless

some change was made the Regiment would be taken prisoners. The Regiment stood alone.

Charge after charge was made by the stubborn and determined foe. To prevent beingHanked, the order was given to fall back to the brow of a hill in the rear. Arrived there,

found the enemy on our rear, (now front) on all sides, and the Regiment exposed to a con-

tinuous fire. Disorganized portions of Regiments were then in the utmost confusion.

Orders were given to forward, and cut its way out; which could have been done with less

loss than was sutYered afterward in Southern prisons. About 2,300 officers and men werecaptured in this fight by the enemy. The surrender did not all take place the same time.

The surrender of the Fifty-eighth was made a few minutes before six. The loss in this

engagement was frightful—amounting in killed, wounded and prisoners, to upwards of 450.

Alore than three-fourths of those taken prisoners were wounded, and only 218 were takenprisoners. The fact of the Regiment being taken, was. undoubtedly, in a great measure,the salvation of the army. The right and left were entirely turned, and the enemy, on onewing only, needed to know of the success of the other, to press on; but while the center heldout they could not-know their success. And when, at last, this small band was forced to

succumb, night closed her mantle over the scene, and the haughty victors could pursue their

advantage no further. Suffering all the privations and hardships which the rebels knewso well how to inflict on their helpless victims, for about seven months, the prisoners or

what was left of them, about 130 men, were paroled and allowed to go north. The few menleft in camp were strengthened by men returned from hospital and sent from the btate as

recruits, and participated, with credit, in all the skirmishes and battles consequent on the

siege of Corinth. Was engaged at the battle near luka. and lost 23 out of 31, in killed,

wounded and prisoners.

In December. 1862. difi'erent detachments of the Regiment were concentrated at CampButler, near Springfield. Illinois. Remained at Camp Butler, recruiting, and guardingrebel prisoners, until .June. 1863. when the Regiment was sent to Cairo, to garrison that

post. Remained at that place till January 1. 1864— in the meantime garrisoning Mound City.

Illinois, and Paducah, Kentucky, for the greater part of the time. Some of the companieshad a skirmish near Obion River. Kentucky, in October. Companies A and B garrisonedMayfleld. Kentucky, and had several slight encounters with rebels at that place.

On the 21st of January, embarked on transport, and went to Vicksburg, Mississippi.

Was assigned to the First Brig.ade, Third Division. Sixteenth Army Corps, and, on the 3d

of February, left Vicksburg, Mississippi, for Meridian. Mississippi. Was the first Regimentto cross the Big Black, the first to engage the enemy at Queen's Hill, and the First Infantry

Regiment to enter Meridan. Mississippi. During this expedition the men were seventyhours with but one days rations, with which they marched forty-seven miles and destroyedseven miles of railroad. Returned to Vicksburg. and was sent with the troops of GeneralA. J. Smith, to participate in the Red River Campaign. Arrived at Simmsport on the

evening of the 12th of March. Disembarked, to cook, etc.

On the morning of the 13th. moved out from Simmsport, about five miles, and took

possession of two field works, which the rebels evacuated on the approach of the Regiment.Returned to the boats in the evening, and at 8 o'clock, the same night, started for FortDe Russey. Arrived .at the fort, which it invested, about 4 P. M.. on the 14th. A sanguinarystruggle ens aed; but, after a stubborn resistance, the enemy surrendered. The colors of

the Fifty-eighth were the first planted on the works. The boats having come up. the troops

were embarked and proceeded to Alexandria. After great and unnecessary delay at

Alexandria, moved up the river (by land about twenty miles, the remainder by water) to

Grand Ecore; there disembarked, and remained until the 7th of April, when the army of

General Smith moved out on the Shreveport road, preceded two days by the Army of the

Gulf. Uuring the afternoon of the 8th. heavy firing was heard in the advance, and on ar-

rival at Pleasant HiJl. learned that a severe entragement had taken place, in which thetroops of General iianks had been siifnally defeated, and were then fallinsf (jack. A council

of war having been held, it was decided to give the enenay battle, and early on the followingday the lines were formed. About 4 r*. M.. the rebels, flushed with the vict-ory of the pre-

vious day. and heavily re-enforced by fresh troops from Texas, threw themselves upon theline. A brigade of JIaine troops, on the right, was speedily driven from the ground. TheFifty-eighth occupied the extreme left of the line. and. as the brigade of eastern troops gaveway, charged on the enemy, and poured upon them an enfilading and near fire, which at

once turned their flank. Following up this a<jvantage, ihe Regiment captured over five

hundred prisoners, and recaptured from the enemy a battery belonging to the First UnitedStates Artillery, which had been taken from General Banks' troops. In this engagementthe loss was very heavy. The utmost gallantry was shown, both by oflJcers and men; andto the Fiftyeiirhth is due the credit of having given the first check to the foe, and of takingfive-sixths of the prisoners captured during the engagement. Many of the prisoners heretaken were the same the Regiment guarded in Camp Butler. Though the enemy was mostsignally defeated, the command was ordered to retreat, and at 3 o'clock A. M., of the 10th,

the Army fell back, leaving the dead and wounded on the field, to be cared for by an enemywho was then some sixteen miles distant, retreating as rapidly as possible. Reaf;hed GrandEcore on the l<ith, and went into camp.

Mustered out at Montgomery, Ala.. April 1, vm, and ordered to Springfield, Illinois, for
