na, in July following. See page 148. Turning to Missouri and Arkansas, in which the Unionists were the majority and the political power was held by loyal men, especially in the former State, we see those commonwealths, after brief repose, again convulsed in 1863 by the machinations of disloyal resident citizens, and the contests of hostile forces in arms. One of the worst enemies of Missouri (the rebel Governor Jackson See page 201, volume I.) had died in exile at Little Rock, Dec. 6, 1862. in Arkansas, but Sterling Price, Marmaduke, Cabell, Reynolds (the former lieutenant-governor), and other rebel chiefs, were yet active and mischievous. Early in January, 1863, Marmaduke, with about four thousand men, mostly mounted, burst suddenly out of Northern Arkansas, and fell upon Springfield, in Missouri, then fairly fortified by five earth-works, and defended by a small force, under General E. B. Brown, of the Missouri militia. His force consisted of about 1,200 State milit

e when fitfully invaded or disturbed by domestic insurrection, remained under the Union flag from and after the expulsion of Price's army by Fremont near the close of 1861. See Vol <*> pp. 592-3. But the Rebel element of her population, though over-powered, was still bitter, and was stirred into fitful activity by frequent emissaries from compatriots serving with Price, Marmaduke, and other chiefs, who, with their Governor, Claiborne F. Jackson, who died in Arkansas, At Little Rock, Dec. 6, 1862. and his Lieutenant, Thomas C. Reynolds, who thenceforth assumed the role of Confederate Governor, invincibly hoped, and intrigued, and struggled, for a restoration to the homes they had deserted and the power they by treason had forfeited. Hardly had the year opened, when a Rebel force, led by Marmaduke, estimated at 4,000 strong, mostly mounted, emerged from northern Arkansas, and, evading our main body, under Gen. Blunt, struck at Springfield, known to be filled with Federal munitio

The regiment proceeded immediately to Louisville, Ky., where it was uniformed and armed, after which it was assigned to Dumont's Division of Buell's Army. After participating in the Kentucky campaign of that fall, it was stationed at Hartsville, Tenn., where it was attacked, December 6, 1862, by a Confederate brigade under General Morgan. At that time the garrison at Hartsville consisted of three regiments, two companies of cavalry, and a section of light artillery. After a sharp fight in the fields outside the town, the garrison was surrounded and compelled to surrender; the losses of the One Hundred and Fourth amounted to 25 killed, 131 wounded, and 568 captured. The men were immediately released on parole, and the regiment went to Camp Douglass, Chicago, to await notic

Doc. 63.-fight near Coffeeville, Miss. Chicago Tribune account. in camp north of the Taconapatafa, seventeen miles South of Oxford, Miss., December 6, 1862. when I penned my last letter, we were hotly pressing the rear of Gen. Van Dorn's retreating column, and fully expected to encamp to-day at Coffeeville. From here to Grenada is but eleven miles, and here we thought to spend the Sabbath. We did propose to capture Coffeeville, but just as the hand was outstretched which was to inclose them within its grasp, they managed to escape, and came near inclosing us within their grip. Not to put too fine a point upon it, they came very near capturing our whole command, and making a muss of the expedition. My narrative left us at Water Valley, with the following order of march for the morrow: Col. Mizener with the Third brigade in the advance; Col. Lee with the First brigade in the centre, and Col. Hatch with the Second brigade in the rear. This order was changed in the

General: Colonel: I have the honor to make the following report of the action of the fifth instant, between the Federal advance guard, near Coffeeville, and the troops placed under my command by Major-General Lovell, commanding First corps. See Volume 6, Rebellion Record, Documents, page 235. At about half-past 2 o'clock P. M., on Friday afternoon, fifth instant, whilst engaged in the town of Coffeeville with the various duties of my command, I learned that the enemy, emboldened by their successes heretofore, had pushed their advance within one mile of the town, and that having commenced skirmishing with our rear guard of cavalry, Major-General Lovell, commanding First corps, had gone out with a portion of my division to check them, I immediately rode out with a portion of my staff

n the efforts of pro-slavery men to make Kansas a slave-labor State. In 1822 he went to Missouri; was a captain in the Black Hawk War; served several years in the State legislature; and was elected governor of Missouri by the Democrats in 1860. In 1855 he led a band of lawless men from Missouri, who, fully armed, encamped around Lawrence, Kan., where he took measures to prevent a legal polling of votes at an election for members of the territorial legislature, late in March. His followers threatened to hang a judge who attempted to secure an honest vote, and by threats compelled another to receive every vote offered by a Missourian. When the Civil War broke out, Jackson made strenuous efforts to place Missouri on the side of secession, but was foiled chiefly through the efforts of Gen. Nathaniel Lyon. He was deposed by the Missouri State convention, in July, 1861, when he entered the Confederate military service as a brigadier-general. He died in Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 6, 1862.

ll not be very fast. However, this kind of work is what we are to expect for the future, so we might as well make up our minds to it, and take it as it comes. The paper received to-day contains General Halleck's official report, which confirms what I previously surmised—that he was responsible for Pope's campaign, which he attempts most lamely to vindicate. McClellan's letter to him from Harrison's Landing is most able, and his reply most impotent. camp near Brooks Station, Va., December 6, 1862. I have just sent you a telegram announcing that I had received from Washington notice by telegraph of my promotion. I am truly glad, for your sake as well as my own. I wrote you a few lines last night, at the end of George's letter. Soon after closing, an order came countermanding our marching, owing to the storm. The weather is very cold to-night, everything freezing hard; but with my stove and buffalo robe, and with the good news of to-day, I bid defiance to the weather. c
