demonstration against Knoxville, but was compelled to retire before superior forces. It next joined Burnside's army, and, as his advance, entered East Tennessee, and participated in the battles of Philadelphia, Campbell's Station, Calhoun, Knoxville (where it lost 120 men), Bean Station, Kelly's Ford and Dandridge. It returned to Kentucky in 1864, and was dismounted. On the 6th of April it marched to Knoxville, and in a few days started for Tunnel Hill, Georgia, arriving in front of Rocky Face on the 11th of May. It took part in the battle of Resaca on the 14th of May, where Colonel Henderson was wounded and the regiment lost fifty-six men. It continued in the march to Atlanta, taking part in the battles of Nicojack Creek, Pumpkin Vine Creek, Pine Mountain, Kenesaw, Lost Mountain, Chattahoochee, Utoy Creek and Rough and Ready, losing heavily in several of them. After the battle of Atlanta it went into camp at Decatur, Georgia, where it rested for a while, and then started after Hood. At Cedar Bluffs it parted from Sherman, and started with Schofield to head Hood off. While resting at Palesca, Hood attempted to flank it, and in order to make its position more secure, it had to fall back, encountering some heavy skirmishing at Columbia and Spring Hill. It continued to retreat until Franklin was reached, where the 112th took a conspicuous part, as also at Nashville, when it drove the rebels across the Tennessee into Alabama. Just before the close of the war, the regiment went to Fort Fisher on the 8th of February, 1865, and shortly after participated in the battles of Fort Anderson, Town Creek, Wilmington and Kingston. It then proceeded to Goldsboro, where it joined Sherman, and moved up to Greensboro, North Carolina, where it was mustered out of service on the 21st of June. The 112th participated in no less than twenty-five pitched battles, and one hundred and ten skirmishes, and out of 996 men who originally belonged to the regiment only 424 returned.

ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEENTH ILLINOIS INFANTRY. The 113th regiment-"Third Board of Trade”. was raised in Cook, Kankakee and Iroquois counties, in August, 1862, but was not formally mustered as a regiment until the 1st of October. The following is the original roster:

During the month of October, 1862, the 113th was employed in guarding rebel prisoners at Camp Douglas, and on the 5th of November left for Memphis, 840 strong. Here it was assigned to the 15th Corps, General Sherman, and with him marched to Oxford, Mississippi, to join the expedition against Vicksburg. It returned with General Sherman to Memphis, and thence to Vicksburg by water. It was in the fights at Milliken's Bend and Chickasaw Bayou. The next move was to Arkansas Post [Vol. I., p. 444], under McClernang and Sherman. On the 3d of March, 1863, the 113th took transports to Vicksburg, and labored on the Butler Canal for a month. It was engaged in the expedition up the Black Bayou to relieve Porter's gunboats, where it had a smart skirmish with the rebels. Returning to Vicksburg, the 113th participated in the labors and perils of the siege until the surrender of Pemberton, losing one third of its force engaged. From August, 1864, to February, 1864 it was engaged in scouting in the vicinity of Corinth, and then returned to Memphis. On the 10th of April it started on the expe

dition under General Sturgis against Forrest. Returning, without a fight, they started out on another expedition under General Sturgis to Guntown, Mississippi, where it was engaged with the enemy for two hours, losing 135 men and five officers killed, wounded and missing. It returned to Memphis, where it remained on picket duty till October, when it embarked on an expedition under General Washburn up the Tennessee River. It was in the disastrous fight at Eastport, Tennessee, where it lost fourteen men and two officers. The next move was to Memphis, where it remained on provost guard and picket duty until ordered home to stay. It arrived in Chicago on the 22d of June, 1865, with 272 men and officers, leaving 242 behind. It recruited 492 men while in the service, making a total of 1,332 men who served in its ranks.

Colonel George B. Hoge was born in Alleghany County, Pennsylvania, April 16, 1834, and removed to Chicago in 1848. Five years later he graduated at the Western University, Pittsburg, and from that time was engaged in business avocations in Chicago until 1856, when he removed to Missouri. When the war broke out he raised a company for the 13th Missouri infantry (afterward 25th Missouri infantry), and was chosen Captain. In this capacity he was at the siege of Lexington [ Vol. I., p. 155] and Shiloh, and was wounded at the latter place. In the summer of 1862 he obtained leave of absence and visited Chicago, where he was elected Colonel of the 113th Illinois.

In closing a sketch of the "Third Board of Trade" regiment, it is not inappropriate to mention that in each of the three Board of Trade regiments was a son of the well-known anti-slavery apostle, Rev. John Rankin, of Ripley, Ohio. One entered the first (72d) as wagon-master, another the second ( 88th) as 1st Assistant Surgeon, and the third in the Third Board of Trade (113th) as Chaplain. One of the three sons-if not all of them-is a native of East Tennessee, where the father was frequently persecuted for his utterances in behalf of freedom.

The 3d cavalry left Camp Butler on the 23d, 24th and 25th of September, and reported to General Fremont at Benton Barracks, St. Louis. On the 27th it left for St. Charles, and then began a series of marches, skirmishes, &c., in Missouri and Arkansas, which continued until the close of Fremont's and Curtis' campaigns. On the 11th of February, 1862, it had a small skirmish with the enemy's outposts at Marshfield. On the 13th it advanced toward Springfield, when Major Wright was sent forward with his battalion, and had a sharp fight with a regiment of rebel infantry, handsomely repulsing them. On the 15th the regiment started in pursuit of Price's retreating army, and overtook them at Crane Creek, capturing seven prisoners, and throwing a few shells into their camp. The pursuit was continued during the two days following, with frequent skirmishing, until Sugar Creek, Arkansas, was reached. Here the enemy made a stand, and a brisk engagement was had, ending with a splendid cavalry charge, in which one battalion of the 3d participated, routing the enemy. On the 21st it arrived at Cross Hollows, and went into camp until March 5th, when it took the advance in an expedition to Fayetteville. The approach of the enemy caused it to fall back to Pea Ridge. In the battle at the latter place it bore an honorable and conspicuous part, opening the engagement by a charge upon the advance of the enemy [Vol. I., p. 216]. On the 10th of April it arrived at Forsyth, in the advance, and skirmished with the enemy. On the 16th it marched to the mouth of the North Fork of White River, where it destroyed the rebel saltpeter works, and marched thence to West Plains, and arrived on the 29th, "having been fifteen days without wagons, rations or forage."
