large number Of that gallant contingent to the army
of the Confederacy assembled. We were glad to
note this, for the Crescent Regiment was ene OF
those that went out from Louisiana in q good
cause, and they sustained it with the seli-sacEhce
and daring that characterized every one Of TIE
Louisiana organizations. At Shiloh, Gen. Prentlss
brigade of the Federal army surrendered to the
Crescent Regiment, after it 90 fanked' AID got
into the rear of Prentss command.
At the battle of Texana, Colonel McPheeters,
commanding, was killed under circumstances
that showed he had more than Spartan bravery.
This regiment, with the gallant 18th for two
whole days, by hard fighting and ski!ltul com
manding, kept the so-called General Banks
with his entire army, at bay. And at the nat1e OIL
Mansfield they won fame of no ordinary character,
and they illustrated the gallantry of the sodIers
that Louisiana sent to the war
