f the State. General Kautz was at one time Colonel of this regiment. Its service was a varied one, fighting in the Indian Territory, Arkansas, Missouri, and East Tennessee until April, 1864, when it joined the Army of the Potomac. Its fallen heroes, buried where they fell, form a vidette-line of patriot graves from the Missouri excess of its quota, and was equal to 72 per cent. of its military population (white males from 18 to 45 years of age), as enumerated in the census of 1860. Tennessee.--Although this State joined the Southern Confederacy, it furnished thirty regiments to the Union Army, organized from refugees and volunteers who enlisted witho to run the gauntlet of Confederate videttes, or avoid them by crossing the cold and desolate peaks of the Cumberland. The total number of Union soldiers from Tennessee was 31,092, not including blacks. Averaged on the basis of a three years enlistment, they were equal to 26,394 men.

he loss of officers in its brigade (7th Me., 43d N. Y., 49th N. Y., 77th N. Y., and 61st Pa.) was without a parallel in the war, the five regiments losing 72 officers killed in action. The 144th sustained its loss in killed in the battles along the South Carolina coast,--at John's Island, James Island, Siege of Wagner, Deveaux Neck, and Honey Hill, half of its loss occurring in the latter battle. The 141st New York encountered its hardest fighting and severest losses at Resaca and Peach Tree Creek. The following regiments failed to complete their organizations, and their numbers are accordingly vacant: the 17th Cavalry; 11th and 12th Heavy Artillery; 166th, 167th, 171st, 172d, 180th, 181st, and 183d Infantry. Missing numbers in the line were also caused by transfers of regiments to a different arm of service; the 7th Cavalry became the 1st Mounted Rifles; the 15th and 50th Regiments served as Engineers; the 19th Infantry was changed to the 3d Artillery; the 113th to the 7th He

The 17th regiment failed to effect an organization, and the two companies which were recruited for it were transferred to the 2d regiment. The large number of deaths from disease in the 8th Infantry was due to the fatal climate of the Gulf States in which it served. Its loss in battle occurred entirely in the battles of the Lower Mississippi and Red River campaigns. The deaths from disease in the 16th Infantry occurred while in the Department of the Gulf, and within nine months, the regiment having enlisted for that term. The entire loss in action of the 14th Infantry occurred in the Shenandoah Valley, in the two battles of the Opequon and Cedar Creek, 59 falling, killed or mortally wounded, at the Opequon.

One regiment, known as the Mechanics-Fusileers or 56th Illinois Infantry, organized in November, 1861, to serve three years, was disbanded within four months, and another regiment, subsequently organized, was designated as the 56th Regiment. This latter regiment lost 11 officers and 195 men by the burning of the steamer General Lyon, off Cape Hatteras, March 31, 1865. The 19th Illinois lost 38 killed and 91 wounded in an accident on the Ohio & Mississippi R. R., near Vincennes, Ind., September 17, 1861. The 97th Illinois lost 18 killed and 67 wounded in a railroad accident in Louisiana, November 3, 1863. In addition to the Illinois regiments specially mentioned in Chapter X, there were many other regiments from this State which had records equally meritorious, although their casualties in action may not have been as numerous.
