follows: Company A from Elgin and vicinity; Company B, Mattoon and vicin-

ity; Company C, Aurora and vicinity; Company D, Litchfield and vicinity;

386 ADJUTANT general's REPORT.

April 8th, Col. Rowett returned to the regiment, whose headquarters wereat Florence, Alabama, and again assumed command, having been relievedfrom the command at Camp Butler, at his own request.

On the morning of the 7th of May, General Roddy's rebel brierade crossedthe Tennessee, between Sweetwater and Centre Star, and attacked the com-panies at Florence and Sweetwater, After six hours severe fighting againstten time-^ their number, the companies were obliged to retire with a loss ofthree officers and 32 men wounded and captured. On the 13th of May, the7th returned with the 9th Ohio Cavalry, under command of Colonel Rowett,and drove the rebels across the Tennessee, capturing a number of prisoners.Was engaged in patroling the river until June 14th, when the regiment wasdismounted and ordered to report to the Brigade Commander at Rome,Georgia. Arrived at Chattanooga, Tennessee, on the 17th of -hine, and wasordered to Tilton, Georgia, to patrol the railroad from Dalton to Resaca,which was then threatened by rebel Cavalry. On July 7th was relieved bythe 18th Wisconsin Infantry, and proceeded to Rome, Ga., and went into

camp on the south side of the Etowa river. On the 29th of July the non-Vet-eran officers and men were mustered out by reason of expiration of term ofservice. Capt. Hector Perrin was mustered as Lt. Colonel, and Capt. EdwardS. Johnson as Major. On the 3rd of October, 1864, the 4th Division, 15thArmy Corps, (to which the Seventh was attached) commanded by Gen. JohnM. Corse, was ordered to AUatoona Pass to assist in the defense of that im-portant station, then threatened by Hood's army. The 3rd Brigade, consist-

ing of the 7th, 50th and 57th Illinois, and 39th Iowa, commanded by Col.Rowett, reached the Pass on the morning of October 4th. The railroad beingdestroyed after the passage of this Brigade, the rest of the Division failed to

reach its destination. On the morning of the 5th the Pass was attacked byGen. French's rebel Division, numbering six thousand men. The 7th, armedwith the Henry rifle, (or IGshooter,) did gallant and fearful work—success-fully repelling four separate charges made by the desperate and hungryenemy on the line occupied by them— its torn and bleeding ranks told at whata fearful cost. Its colors, under which fell many a gallant bearer that day,were never lowered.

"Let its stained and tattered mass,Tell the story of the terror and the gloryOf the battle of the AUatoona Pass."

The brave Capt. Jack Sullivan and Adjutant Robinson fell mortallywounded. Col. Rowett was severely wounded in the head. Thirty-eight menwere killed and sixty-seven wounded. The enemy lost two thousand two hun-dred killed and wounded, and, not able to stand against this gallant little

band of defenders in the Pass, they fled, leaving this number on the field. TheSeventh, together with all those who assisted in that gallant defense and glor-

ious victory, won never fading laurels, and was highly complimented by theDivision Commander and General Sherman, who said: "For the numbers en-gaged, they stood upon the bloodiest battle field ever known upon the Ameri-can continent." After the battle the regiment returned to Rome, and on the12th of November, with their Corps, under command of General Osterhaus,joined the Grand Army of Sherman at Kingston, Georgia, where preparationswere being made for the "March to the Sea."

On the 21st of November the regiment was remounted and detailed as theadvance of the 15th Army Corps. On December 22nd, under command ofLieutenant Colonel Perrin, it entered Savannah with Sherman's victoriouscolumns. Then turning northward with the army, entered into the campaignof the Carolinas; participated in the battles of Salkahatchie Swamp, Benton-ville and Columbia.

While on the march to the sea the regiment was surprised by the appear-ance of Captain E. R. Roberts, who was captured, with most of his company.May 7th, 1864, at Florence, Alabama. He had effected his escape from theprison pen at Columbia, South Carolina, and by night had travelled 180 milesto join his regiment.

SEVENTH INFANTRY. 387

April 20th Colonel Rowett returned from his enforced absence, caused by-

wounds received at the battle of Allatoona, and again took command of the3rd Brigade.

After the surrender of General Johnson, April 26th, the regiment took upits line of march for home by way of Petersburg, Richmond and AlexandriaMay 17th, 1865, and took part in the grand review at Washington, when it

was ordered to Louisville, Kentucky, where, on the 9th of July, it was mus-tered out of service. The regiment arrived at Springfield July 11th, when it

was paid off and discharged.

As a little retrospect it will not be improper to say that the Seventh In-fantry takes great pride in the fact that it was the first organized regimentfrom this State mustered into the United States service in the war that waswaged to save the Union, and the first to return to the capital of the Stateand re-enlist as veterans, as well as being the only regiment in the wholearmy that purchased its own guns—the Henry rifles, 16-shooters—paying $50each for them out of their meager pay of $13 per month, thereby increasingtheir effective force five- fold. Colonel Rowett, who commanded the Sevenththe last four hours of the battle of Allatoona, where Sherman had stored mil-lions of rations, while according to all the highest meed of praise for gallantconduct and stubborn courage, insists tbat without the aid of the 16-shooters,French's 6000 rebels would have overwhelmed the gallant 1500 of "The Pass."Colonel Rowett was promoted to Brevet Brigadier General on recommenda-tion of General Sherman, for gallant conduct in this battle.

General Sherman, speaking of this battle, in his official report says:

"I esteemed this defense of Allatoona so handsome and important that I

made it the subject of a General Order, viz:—No. 80 of October 7, 1864:

"The General commanding avails himself of the opportunity in the hand-some defense of Allatoona to illustrate the most important principle of war,that fortified posts should be defended to the last, regardless of the relativenumbers of the party attacking or attacked. The thanks of this army aredue and are hereby accorded to General Corse. Colonel Tourtellotte, ColonelRowetl, officers and men, for their determined and gallant defense of Alla-toona, and it is made an example to illustrate the importance of preparing intime, and meeting the danger when presented, boldly, manfully and well.

"Commanders and garrisons of the posts along our railroads are hereby in-

structed that they must hold their posts to the last minute, sure that the timegained is valuable and necessary to their comrades at the front.

By order of Major General W. T. Sherman.(Signed) L. M. DAYTON, Aid-de-camp. ''^
