will be remembered that this regiment
was stationed in June last at and near
Cumberland, Maryland, and that on the
eleventh of that month the Z)utves, head
ed by the Colonel, made a dash upon
Romnev and rolted the rebels at that
place. The regiment was noted for its
reckless mode o, fighting and the degree
of dash" with which they always moved.
When the regiment returned to Indiana

Wallace remained quiet for few days
but the troubles in Missouri reused his
energies. and he issued the remarkable
cali upon his troops which created such
an amount of enthusiasm at the time
The Irdianans focked to his standard,
and the regiment was reorganzed and
sent to the Department of Missouri
Some little difficulty occurred between
these Two generals, and General Wallace
was transferred at his own request to
new command at Smithand. General
Wallace took an active part in the recon-
roisance to the rear of Columbus, also in
the advance upon Fort Henry, but moro
particularly in the gallant action before
For, Donelson. When Acting Mai Gen.
McClernand's division was driven back by
