CHAPTER THE ELEVENTH.
________
RECRUITS.
IN VIEW of the fact that the Regiment was now becoming very much reduced in numbers, Colonel Grier asked for, and received permission to go home with a detachment of men for the purpose of recruiting. The following is the order granting that permission:
HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF,
NEW ORLEANS, November 24, 1863.Special Orders, No. ---

The following-named officers and enlisted men will proceed without delay to their respective States, and there report to the Governors of the several States, for the purpose of recruiting for their respective regiments.

By command of G. NORMAN LIEBER, A. A. A. G.
MAJ. GEN. BANKS.The foregoing detail left New Iberia for the north soon after the order was issued, arriving in Peoria on the 18th of December, 1863. As the detail departed, General Burbridge sent the following communication to Gov. Yates of Illinois:
HEADQUARTERS, 4TH DIVISION 13TH A. C.,
NEW IBERIA, December 5, 1863.HON. RICHARD YATES.
Dear Sir: -- I avail myself of the return home of recruiting details from the 77th, 97th and 130th Regiments Illinois Volunteers, and Chicago Mercantile Battery, as a fitting opportunity to express my entire satisfaction and hearty approval of their conduct, discipline and soldierly bearing under their accomplished and efficient officers.
Having been intimately associated with them long before I was called to assume command of them, I found them to the full what their past noble record had prepared me to expect, and I desire to join my pride and gratification at having such men in my command, to the just pride of the people at having sent such gallant soldiers to fight for our glorious cause.
I heartily commend these Regiments to you and to the citizens of your State as very desirable ones to enlist in, as they will be certain of a favorable position for a vigorous prosecution of the war.
With assurances of high personal regard, I beg leave to subscribe myself,Your obedient servant,
S. G. BURBRIDGE,
Brigadier General.
As soon as the recruiting detail reached home they commenced operations in Peoria and the surrounding towns, and were very successful, as the following muster-roll will show. It will be observed from the dates that some of these men enlisted before this recruiting party began their work, but as they are all recruits, that is, they enlisted after the original muster-in of the Regiment, it is thought proper to give them all in this place. Those who were transferred to the 130th Illinois are followed to that Regiment until they finally left the service:
