Our highly esteemed and patriotic young friend, Capt. JH Vanarsdall, company “B” of the “Bloody 10th has been sojourning in this place for the past few days. The Captain, though somewhat reduced in weight, appears to be in the enjoyment of his usual good health. He goes to the eastern portion of the state within a few days on business and from thence to Kentucky for the purpose of rejoining his regiment.- Capt. Vanarsdall requests us to say that two men can join his company by reporting themselves to Capt. WE Carroll of Lafayette.  Capt. Carroll will leave with recruits for the 10th regiment on the 15th of March.

35 years ago the 19th inst it will be remembered the memorable battle of Mill Springs, Ky was fought. The 10th Indiana regiment, which had a company from Montgomery County was one of the leading regiments in this engagement. Among those who were killed were James E. Copner and Amos K. Misner of Co B. It will also be recalled that the rebel General Zollicoffer was also killed. James Viers lived about 7 miles from the battlefield and next day after the battle he went over there and was present when gen. Zollicoffer was prepared for burial. A cake of soap about 8” long was used. After the washing the soap was cut in small pieces and given to those present, Mr. Viers receiving a piece. This same piece was exhibited at the Journal office Friday. After the war Mr. Viers moved to this county and settled on Black Creek. He, however, kept the soap while he lived and at his death his oldest son, William was presented with it who prizes it as a relic of the war.

Thirty years ago Saturday, Abraham Lincoln’s call for 75,000 men for a 3 month service was answered in Crawfordsville by the organization of Company G 10th Ind Reg – Gen MD Manson opened up headquarters at his drug store and headed the enlistment roll with own name.  Those following is a list of those who followed his patriotic example, those who have since died being designated with a star.  MD Manson; AV Austin; Charley Bailey*; JH Wasson; John Colwell*;John Ott; Thos. Hartness*; Bill Duling*; Bill Edwards*; JF Boots; Isaac Davis Sr; Wm. Martin; JH Watson; Skid Vanarsdall*; Harry Morgan; David Eicher*; Lobe Sparks; MH Liter; Henry Jaret*; Benj. F. McMackin*; Elihu Nicholson; David Hartman; Thos Powell; James Tammany*; Joe Simpson*; Mart Simpson; Andy Gray*; Bill Birchfield; Charless Bloss; Albert Bordett*; John Conway; Lee Cope*; Eli Coombs; John Coombs*; Carmanda Corey; James Davidson*; John L. Elliott; John Elliot*; Morris B. Evans*; John R. Fryher*; George Ginger*; John Ginger; Joe Grubb; Robert Hays; James Hemphill*; WH Hickman; John Hickman; Levi Hillis; John W. Hagsett; Barney Hoover; Wm. McNeeley; Frank Morgan; Charley Murphy; Thos Forman*; Andrew Ornbaum; George Powel; Wm. Ruffner; Seigfred Sohm; JM Simpson; Dan Spraig; Thomas Steele; Thos Welcher. Saturday April 18, 1861 was four days after Sumpter was fired by the rebels and the excitement of the time can little be imagined now. Gen. Manson with his experience gained in the Mexican war, naturally was at the head of affairs. With a good deal of forethought he spent Saturday afternoon in buying up all the duck and sail clothe he could find in town and turned it over to the patriot ladies of the different church. They met in an upstairs room of the building now occupied by Thompson & Cates early Sunday morning and there spent the day in making tents for the newly enlisted soldiers.  Monday morning the boys and they were boys then hardly any of them being able to raise a beard started to Indianapolis by way of Greencastle. Arriving at Greencastle they elected their officers as follows: MD Manson, Capt Jim Watson, First Lt; Harry Morgan, Second Lt; Harry Wasson, Orderly Sgt. Gen Manson was promoted immediate of course and Skid Vanarsdal was elected 2nd Lt. Arriving at Indianapolis they had the honor pitching the first tents on Camp Morton.  The changes which have been made since that day so full of benefit to our country and each of her citizens have been great and it is well for the younger generations to pause occasionally and consider how much of our present prosperity is due to the brave men of the Co G, 10th Ind and their comrades from all parts of the Union.
