SPRINorIELD, Illinois, March Is, 1861
In the fort there were about $50 recruits
for United States colored regiment, q
portion Of the 18th Kentucky cavalry, with
out arms, and two companies OF the 122d
Illinois infantry, in all about 500 men.
It was the negro regulars that fought 90
well. They handled the artillery with
great skill and their bravery Is on the
tongues Of all the loyal men. One Of the
regiments in the attack on the fort was the
Sd Kentucky, Colonel Thompson, who
commanded brigade. This regiment
Wa raised in Paducah three years ago by
Colonel Tilghman, Afterwards Brigadier
General, and Colonel Thompson who wss
at the time Prosecuting Attorney for the
PaAncah circuit.
Col. Thompson was man Of great infiu-
ence and did moro than any one else in re-
cruiting the regiment from the chivalry.-
This was it, drst visit home. Before the
attack was made threats we're freely made
In the streets that they would capture the
fort and kill every damned nigger In it.
i In the attack, this regiment was in the
advance and suffered the most. Colonel
Thompson was literally torn in pieces BY .
shot from siege gum handled by colored
men. These col0rod men were native Ken
tuckians, and seven Of them have offered
up their lives for their country. Il there
not stern justice in the fact that many OF
these rebels paid the penalty Of their trea-
