LIGHT ARTILLERY MILWAUKEE : DAILY WISCONSIN BTeAM PEINTINO HOUSE. 1865. o c 5 & 4r^ r R E FACE The difficulty of writing the history of a single organization, in a large army, engaged in vast move ments, over an extensive field of ojjerations, in such manner that it will be complete in itself, will be ap parent to every writer of experience ; for its oj^era- tions are never recognized except as a small part of one great whole ; and they are so interwoven with the movements of the entire army, that, being sepa rated, they form a disconnected account, with little meaning or interest. To overcome this difficulty, a brief, general account is first given, in the follow ing narrative, of the operations of the Brigade, Divi sion or Corps, to which the Battery belonged for the time being; to which is added an Appendix, contain ing a personal sketch of every member of the organ ization. Materials for a much larger work have accumulated, but I have been restricted in the size of the book, by the lack of ijecuniaryfmeans. The cost of publishing so small an edition, (two hundred and fifty copies,) is but little less than would be the cost of a much IV PEEFACE. lai'ger. For the same reason no illustrations have been inserted. There may be some errors in the book; "if such ex ist, they m.ust be attributed to incorrect data furnish- cd me. The account from the organization of the Battery, to October, '62, is taken from the comj^any records, which are very deficient in details; from that time to September, 1863, the writer was person ally cognizant of its history. Since the latter date, the company records and the diaries of individuals have been resorted to. It would be impossible that some errors should not creep in, under such circum stances. I have no apologies to make for the manner in which the book is written ; it has been my ambition to present the story of Battery A, in a clear and suc cinct style, without embellishment or rhetorical flourish ; I have no desire to gather laurels as an author. If the narrative is sufficiently readable to preserve fresh memories of each other in the bosoms of my comrades in arms, — memories of the struggles, hardships, and dangers to which they were exposed in defence of the glorious flag of our united country, — ray feeble efforts will have been amply rewarded.

Ol? FIRST REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEER LIGPIT ARTILLERY^ CHAPTER I. , V: lOaptain Cotter — Hia old Gun Squad — Operations in Westein Virginia. Captain C. S. Cotter, previous to the rebellion, had command of a gun squad, whose members were all from the village of Ravenna, O. Cotter at this place carried on a silver and brass plating shop, together with a brass foundry, and is well known among the carriage manufacturers of Portage and adjoining counties. Upon all occasions of 4th of July cele brations, where speeches were to be made. Cotter's gun squad, well drilled and equipped, with their pol ished bronze piece, were on hand to let their gun speak, and arouse the patriotic feelings of *76. Much praise is due the old squad,' for their discipline in action. On one of those 4th of',July occasions, several 1 10 BATTERY A. toasts were read, one of which was as follows : — " And as for the artillery of Captain Cottei', it speaks for itself"— at the instant the flash Avas seen, timed to the word. I only mention this to show the disci pline of the squad. Upon the firing upon Fort Sumter, and the call for 75,000 men by the President, a war meeting was held at Ravenna for the purpose of securing volunteers for the field at once. Seven of Cotter's old squad joined him, three of Avhom were not mustered so as to participate in the Virginia campaign ; — enough men, however, enlisted from Portage County, to make a full detachment of more than twenty-five, their names were as follows : John F. Bruner, George B. Hewitt, Thomas Corwin, * f James A. Hazen, John Cline, George Harrington, Edward Cain, Dan. R. King, Verus A. Clark, * Harmon W. Lake, George Dutter, Charles Mason, * f Budman K. Davis, Benjamin F. Pitman, George Davis, Theodore Phawloh, Charles GiUis, * .John Shreader, Philip D. Green, Seldon Sanford, Levi Griswold, George Sanford, George Hartlerodc, Charles W Scovill, .John Haven, Willard Vaughn, George Holden, William Watson, * William Willyard. * Captain Cotter reporting to the Adjutant General of the State, that his men were drilled and equipped * These men belonged to the old squad at Ravenna, C t These were not mustered with the rest at this time, and were not in the Virginia oampaign. BATTERY A. 11 I'cady for the field, in conformity Avith orders, arrived Avith his men at Camp Taylor, Cleveland O., Avhere on the 2.3 th of April, they Avere informally mustered into the service. Here the squad remained drilling and target shooting until the last of May ; when, for some reason best known to the authorities. Cotter's detachment Avas disbanded, and the men Avent to their homes. Captain Cotter proceeding to Columbus, O., receiv ed permission to raise a battery, and hastened to accomplish it. June 9th he recalled his men Avho had gone home, and took them to Camp Cliase, O., and being joined here by another similar detachment from Stark county, he A^'as commissioned as Captain. The 2d of July this section Avas mustered into the service of the State for three years. The following day this small force moved to Gallipolis, O., where, on the 10th of July, it Avas assigned to the command of Brig. Gen. Cox. His command soon passed up the Kanawha river, in Western Virginia, and on the I7th of July Cotter's section participated in the battle of Scarey Creek. The Union forces in the expedition numbered, all told, about 850 men. Its mission at this point, some live miles from camp, was only a reconnoissance, to feel of the enemy, and, if possible, to ascertain Avhere they Avere. The advance was made; the enemy — Wise's JjCgion of Confederate troops — at this creek, was found in strong force, some 3,000, including tliree pieces of artillery. Sharp firing ensued, and continued until their three pieces Avere silenced by Cotter's two guns. The enemy receiving re-inforcements and another piece of artil lery, a brisk engagement ensued, the limber chests 12 BATTERY A. of Cotter's two guns were soon emptied, 80 rounds had been fired, when in consequence of the ammuni tion being exhausted, the command AvithdreAV, having early inthe action, one man, JohnHaven, a resident of Shalersville, O., mortally wounded. He was hit in the hip by a six pound solid shot, and lived only a week after it. His remains were taken to Ohio for burial. The Home Guards of the townships Avere present ; the people had collected in the grove west of the centre, forming a large audience, Avho were appropriately addressecl by Hon. Luther Day and Alphonso Hart, of Ravenna. The exercises being through, a procession Avas formed and marched to the grave, and Avith military honors, he was placed in his last resting spot, — the fii-st sacrifice of the war for Portage county. The 22d of July, Captain Cotter fired into and sunk the rebel supply steamer " Julia Moffit," — troops were aboard the boat at the time. The boat was at the distance of a mile or more, and its position could only be seen by the glaring fire from its boiler furnace, as it shone through the bushes and undergrowth of small trees, which screened the boat from observa tion, across the river. George B. Hewitt, then acting gunner, was directed to sight his gun at the fire, which could be so plainly seen. He did so, and at the second round sent one shot through the steamer's boiler, blowing the whole thing into fragments, and setting it on fire. Reaching Charleston, two more guns were received from Gallipolis; these, with the two left crippled by the enemy on evacuation, made a battery of six guns. Men to man the full battery were detailed from the infantry accompanying the BATTERY A. 13 expedition. From Charleston, the command pro ceeded in pursuit of General Wise to Gauley Bridge, when a further advance Avas deemed inadvisable for the present. It Avas noAV the latter part of July, Avhen Captain Cotter Avas ordered to report to Ohio, with men, to procure equipments for his battery. While here, the War Department began to realize the strength of the rebellion, and that more than a few single regiments, posted here and there, Avere neces sary. Orders Avere issued to the different States that light artillery Avould be accepted for the United States service for three years. In conformity Avith this late order. Cotter recruited a large number, in cluding his oAvn squad, and arrived at Camp Chase, O., Avith them, the 13th of August, for theneAV organ ization, to be known as Battery A., 1st Ohio Light Artillery.

General Cox retained all but his original squad. Here failing in his 2)urpose, he turned about for Ohio, and again recruited quite a large number, forAvarding them to Columbus, Avith the first.

The required quota for a company of artillery Avas now filled and mustered into the United States ser vice. A short time was spent in Camj) Chase, pre paratory to the new life in the field. In fact, the routine of camp life began to be monotonous and dull. The men Avcre all anxious to have a change of climate, scenery, &c., and Averc glad to hear "onward to Jjouisville." As the cars rolled on, out of the city, a thought of home, of the parting word, of Camp Chase, of the few days' experience as a soldier, were all A'ividly pictured in the imagination. It was but the rambling of a few hours, Avhen Cincinnati Avas reached ; the rattling of busses, drays and express Avagons, Avith their ])assengers and freight, over the stony streets, were anything but dull to the stranger and soldier boy, avIio had from youth up remained at his quiet country home. A new world was here be fore him. Government horses for the battery were 18 BATTERY A. here drawn, and placed on board the United States mail boat " Major Anderson." A few preliminaries having been arranged, the boat gently glided down the Ohio. A thousand and one objects attracted atten tion. Upon either side the steep hills met the eye, interrupted occasionally by some lonely dwelling, and perchance a small village, which had hardly seen a score of years. The fields and foliage of the wooded tracts, — each had their charms. The rivers, the banks and passing boats, all, made up a scene in structive and interesting. So smoothly had the steamer made its trip, that, ere it Avas hardly known, it arrived at Louisville. The battery landed, — the first one to cross the Ohio, to rally iu defence of the national authority. JjOuisville, the center of trade of the State of Kentucky, and having direct communi cation with the South and North both by water and rail, had assumed the appearance of strength and Avealth. The camp was established Southwest of the city, on the old Oakland race-course, a favorite re sort to those possessing fleet horses and desired competition. The spot Avas named Camp " Cotter." A picket rope, camp and garrison equipage, was drawn, and a military life commenced at once. Guns, caissons, battery and forge Avagons, transportation, harness, &c., full equipments for a battery of six guns, were soon drawn; and Avhile here a good time was had in drilling and maneuvering with the pieces. The following named persons Avere appoint ed sergeants:— Charles W. Scovill, Verus A. Clark, Harmon W. Lake, Richard H. Rodgers, Frederick W. Wirth and Elon F. Shaw. The camp at drill hours was the resort of visitors from the city, anxious HISTORA' OF 19 to behold the evolutions of those terrible engines of Avarfare. The Captain and his men caught the spirit of the occasion, and endeaA'ored to gratify their cu riosity. Captain Cotter, AA^ith his sharp, shrill voice, would give the command in battery, — in hot haste the cannoneers jumped to their posts, the drivers to their saddles, then the rolling, rattling and chuck ling of Avheels, cannoneers double-quicking to keep pace Avith the carriages, mounting and dismounting, limbering and unlimbering, — action to the right and left — formed the programme. Cotter's jnethod of drill seemed more after his own style than the regular artillery tactics. With but few exceptions Avhile here all passed off very jileasantlj-, gaining the confidence and good aa^II of the citizens. Daily, loaded baskets of 2)ies and cakes came in from them, together Avith tobacco, cigars, &e. If anything had to be bought, it Avas not at fabulous prices, but Avithin the reach of all. Here Avas soldiering and not fighting; wel might it be said here, Avho Avould not be a soldier? From the attention given by the citizens, a person would conclude their safety against the hordes of treason dei^ended entirely upon this battery for pro tection. The comijany remained in Camp Cotter some three Aveeks, doing camp duty, being joined by Nathan K. Holcomb, from Ohio, as artificer. The b.attery left Louisville the 22d day of October, being ordered to report to Gen. McCook by rail at Camp Nevin, Ky., and from Section III, General Or der No. "2, Dec. 3, 1861, its assignment was as folloAvs: * ¦•¦¦ "" " III. The following commands Avill bo under the immediate control of the General coni' mauding : 20 BATTERY A. "First Kentucky Cavalry, Col. Buckner Board. "Battery A., IstO. V. L. A., Capt. Charles S. Cotter. " " A.,lstKy. V.L.A., " D. C. Stone. "Twenty-Sixth Penn., " Chas. F. Mueller. "By command of Brig. Gen. McCook. "Daniel McCook, " Capt. & Ass't Adj't Gen'l." Thus Battery "A," 1st O. V. L. A., for the first time linked its destinies with that of other commands in the great battles of the rebellion. This point was not held as one possessing extraordinary military adA-antages, but from a necessity, rendered so by the enemy's advance resting at ]3acon Creek, Avhile their cavalry videttes Avei-e some distance this side, so that it was impossible to advance until the road Avas cleared; and to do that successfully, required drilled troops. The 4th of November again increased the ranks by another Ohio boy, Vactor B. Stanford, and by order of General McClellan the ranks Avere dim- inishod one, — W. W. Stedman, transferred to the 6th O. V. Cavalry. The 9tli of December, the command moved forward to Green River, and established Camji Wood, in honor of Thomas .J. Wood, an esteemed citizen and Unionist, who resided in tOAvn. The I7th of December, a few days after the arriA'al, occurred the skirmish at Hewlett's Station, a mile or so South of the river, in Avhich a part of the 32d Ind. Infantry were engaged. One shot from the battery Avas fired at the rebels across the river, though against orders. The 32d, however, gave the battery the praise of abruptly terminating the fight in this one shot at the coAvards, who Avere three times their strength. While here encamped, a day or so after this affair BATTER A' A. 21 the " Ladies of Louisville " presented the battery Avith a beautiful stand of colors. Mr. Judd of the LouisAulle House, on presenting it remarked, " that the colors were presented to the battery by the La dies of Louisville, as a token of respect for the gen tlemanly deportment of the men Avhile encamped near their city." The enemy had here partially destroyed the Green River Railroad bridge, a structure of no small im portance. It is one of the curiosities of the L. & N. R. R. to the traveler and stranger. Before an ad vance could be safely made, and keep up supplies, this bridge had to be rebuilt — new clothing, camp and garrison equipage issued. JMuch had to be done even to put the place in a good situation of defense for a future base of oj)eratioiis. Drilling, target shooting, and a general run of camp duty, Avas here performed for nearly two months. It Avas the rainy j)ortion of the season — streams SAVollen — roads upon the least travel, were like mortar beds, all doubled the difficulty of any forward movement in direct front. The 31st of December again reduced the ranks, in the deaths of Mathias Wooster of Brooklyn, Cuya hoga county, Ohio, and only one month after Charles Cleveland of Hinkley, Medina county, Ohio, both of Typhoid Pneumonia, — diseases generally fatal in the camp. Their bodies were both expressed to their friends ; they were the first to be struck from the rolls of the company, by death. Though here but two months, it seemed a long time waiting; but noAV everything began to assume indications of a forward movement. Col. James A. Garfield had on the 11th day of January, 1862, been '22 BATTERY A. successful in driving Humphrey Marshal's brave lads from their intrenched positions in Eastern Kentucky. Numerous reconuoissances Avere made, one on the 26th of January, penetrating to the front, nine miles from Green River, adding much information to the plans for the future success of a new programme. The fore part of February, 1862, in military opera tions AVas evidently going to send glad tidings of victory of the national arms to every Northern State. Halleck began the attack uj^on Fort Henry, the 5th, stormed and took it, the 6th. Grant's forces by land, assisted by gun boats, struck for Fort Donnelson, on the Cumberland, the key to Nashville. Mitchell's diA'isioii crossed Green River, and pushed on towards Bowling Green. The horizon brightens, glorious news came in from cA'ery quarter, cheer after cheer went up from the bank of Green River, for the great triumph of Federal arms. The 13th of February at an early hour iu the even ing, orders were received to march. The battery at this time Avas assigned to the 6th brigade. Tents Avere struck, Avhen the ranks were again increased by the presence of another Ohio boy, Darious Roe. The baggage Avas loaded in readiness for a move, they knew not where. The march commenced on the pike leading towards Louisville. This at first was a new idea, and drew forth many queries. Slowly pacing Northward, under the cover of darkness, a rain storm Avas met ; it Avas noAV seven o'clock ; its pelting drops drenched the men's clothing to the skin. Then came sleet, and finally snow, freezing up solid before morn ing. The roads Avere in a deplorable condition for the baggage wagons and artillery carriages. They r.ATTERA' A. 23 ^\"ere scarcely able to move at all. Clothing Avas frozen stiff Avith mud ; harness straps and equij)ments were in the same condition. Having marched in the mud and darkness nearly all night to gain six miles, a halt was ordered. Jjarge fires Avere built of rails and such other fuel as could be obtained, and Avhile thaAving out upon one side, the other would freeze. The baggage train, owingtothe deep mud, had failed to keep pace Avith the moA'ing column, so that each man had to brave the storm as best he could. The car riages of the artillery, Avhicli had not been run up on rails laid for the jjurpose, were frozen tight. In order to moA'^e at all the next morning, the frozen earth, which clung Avith the tenacity of glue to the spokes •and felloes, had to be chopi^ed aAvay. By noon of the 14th the solid earth had become softened, so that a move was ventured, reaching Upton Station that evening. In the four years of soldiering, it is doubtful whether the battery has seen a more severe time, for its duration, than this. Immediately upon the command's arrival, the news of Grant's attack upon Fort Donnelson spread along the lines like Avild-firo. CHAPTER III. March to Camp Wood— Bell's Tavern— Barren River- Franklin- Edgefield— Camp Andy Johnson- Camp^ Kirk— Camp Stanton- Savannah— Pitteburg Landing— Shiloh— Seige of Corinth. The 15th of February, the troops moved back to Camp Wood, receiving the glorious news of the cap ture of Fort Donnelson, a large amount of supplies 15,000 prisoners, together Avith 15,000 stand of arms and a large number of pieces of artillery. Upon leaving CamjJ Wood, on the evening of the 13th, it was the intention to go to the assistance of Grant, via. West Point, Ky., in case he should need assis tance. But the success defeated the further move ment of troops in that du-ection. Many Avere anxious, and some even spoiling for a fight, and consequently returned to their former camp greatly disappointed. A day was spent in this vicinity, reducing baggage, extra boxes, &c., Avhen the march Southward Avas again resumed, a halt being made for a few days at Camp Fry, — Bell's Tavern, a place nine miles from Mammoth Cave, Hundred Dome, Diamond, and some fcAV smaller ones, much nearer. Mitchell's Division had opened the way towards Bowling Green, and enteredthe place on the 23d of February, scarcely firing a gun. The same day, the forces fronr Upton Station left Bell's Tavern, marching nineteen miles and camping on the east bank of Barren River, near Bowling Green. Halting here a day or tAvo, the bat- BATTERA" A. 25 tery moved out of camp on the bank of the river, the evening of the 26th, and stood there until morning. At sunrise it resumed the march SoutliAvard, and, after traversing a territory of twenty-two miles, camped near Franklin, Ky. Resuming the march again on the 20th, the Tennessee and Kentucky line Avas crossed at one p. ai. As the command neared Edgefield, there appeared fine mansions, extended lanes, beautiful fields, shaded parks, all clothed in scenery that Avas truly romantic and beautiful. The brigade reached Edgefield the 1st of March, and the battery Avas ferried across the Cumberland at mid night of the 2d. The bridges had both been des troyed by the enemy; they had once been splendid works of art and architecture. Upon hearing of the doAvnfall of Fort Donnelson, the rebel troops, without further resistance, made an immediate, mob-like evacuation of Nashville. The boasting eloquence of the traitor Gov. Harris to the citizens, that every person capable of carrying a club, should be thus armed, and all die in the trenches, before the city should be surrendered to the mud-sills of the North, was lost upon the frightened chivalry; and the pugilistic qualities of the valorous Governor quietly cooled doAvn to his true fighting weight, at the fall of Fort Donnelson. Like a brave chieftain, with the archives of the State and the public school fund, he at once took special train to Memphis. The city showed the marks of Avreck and ruin. The bat tery passed on through the city, and on the 3d went into Camp Andy Johnson, four miles south of it. A few days were spent here recruiting, for speedily following up the advantages already acquired by the 2 26 BATTERA' A. possession of Forts Henry and Donnelson, the city of Nashville, with all its machine shops and stores, together Avith the long thread of railroad leading to Louisville, and the Cumberland river to the Ohio. The 13th of March, liieut. W. F. Goodspeed was appointed Captain, vice Cotter, cashiered. At about the same time, Lieut. Allen W. Pinney having sent in his resignation, it w.as accepted on the 15th. The ranks had been much reduced by admissions to the hospital, from diseases brought on by the severities of the Upton march. Details were received from the 15th and 49th O. V. I., to fill the company to its maximum number. The morning of the I7th, orders were received to report to Gen. .Johnson, Avhen a march of fourteen miles was made, and on the fol lowing day sixteen miles, reaching CamjD Kirk, near Ruthersford Creek, and three days after, Camp Stan ton, near Columbia, on the north bank of Duck River. Another halt was here made until the 6th of April. The rebel araiy, under Beauregard, had concentrated near Corinth, Avith the waters of the Tennessee for strategic defence. Mitchell's Division Avas at Mur freesboro, moving towards ShelbyviUe, ready to give the mortal thrust for the possession of Chattanooga, a place of great importance, as it formed connection Avith the raih-oad Avhich ran from Memphis, on the Mississippi River, to Charleston, South Carolina, on the Atlantic coast. The vigilant eye of our cavalry watched the movements along the river for hundreds of miles. Gen. Grant had strongly threatened the rebel forces at Shiloh, offering them battle, and a fierce engagement was rapidly culminating. In deed, the clash of arms had already begun. On the morn- JSATTERA- A. 27 ing of the 6th the march was resumed, making fifteen miles, arriving at Savannah at dusk. The rain was pouring down in torrents, and the battery passed the long, disagreeable night in the storm. At early morn of the 7th of April, the Battery, leaving the Brigade, took the boat for Pittsburg Landing, and were on shore by eleven a. m. and assigned a position on the field. Who will forget the scene, as the Battery landed ? Coming from all directions from the field of slaugh ter, were men, returning Avith limbs mangled, bleed ing, — others, red with gore, groaning from Avounds in the face, neck, hands, and other parts of the body; while many were panic stricken, inoAdng hurriedly back for safety, towards the river. The gun-boats were on the flanks of the .army, shelling the enemy. The terrible mutterings of those heavy guns, shook the earth till she fairly trembled. With this spectacle of horror as an introduction, the Battery unflinch ingly advanced, and, by order of Gen. Buell, stood at its position till the next morning, ready to hurl destruction at the instant of warning. The 7th was the day of contested battle, but the timely arrival of Buell's forces saved the army from a disgraceful route, and turned its seeming disaster into a glorious victory. The enemy it was believed had fallen back, though it AVas felt unsafe to make a general advance. Some twenty days were spent in this vicinity, and in the meantime there had been some promotions in the Battery. The I7th of April, Sergeants Charles W. Scovill and E. B. BeldingAvere made 2d Lieutenants, 2d Lieu.t. Charles G. Mason promoted to 1st Lieu tenant; on the following day, Serg't E. F. Shaw to 1st Sergeant, and Privates Budman K. Davis and 28 BATTERA' A. Jesse Leonard to Sergeants. The 19th, Cotter's sentence was promulgated, — restoring him to com mand again, by order of the President. A Aveek after, Goodspeed's appointment as Cajitain was re voked. Lieutenants Beckley and Mason sent in their resignations, which were accepted the 25th. A thor ough examination of the front had been made, and on the 29th the Battery advanced six miles to the front, leaving the sick and surplus baggage in the rear. A month's time Avas here spent in the usual round of soldier's duty, when, on the 27th of May, it again advanced four miles toAvards Corinth, and took position near the line of intrenchments ; but on the following day again moved forward three-fourths of a mile, forming in line of battle on the left of A. McD. McCook's Division. Here a fiercely contested skirmish ensued with the enemy, 200 yards from the picket line, in which 279 rounds of shell and canister were fired, driving the enemy tAvice from their posi tions. The thicket in which the enemy lay concealed, Avas sheared of branches as if a tornado of hail had swept through there ; the ground was strewn thick with the enemy's dead. Many seemed to be just in the act of firing, reclining upon some old log that httppcined to be near, pr perhaps in a sitting posture, as the fatal messenger reached its victim, leaving them al most as natural as life. Private William H. Hayward, of the Battery, one of the cannoneers of his own choice, rammed down over one hundred rounds, in rapid action, before he would allow himself to be relieved. Capt. Cotter's energy made every thing move ; he told the " boys," who were Avorking the guns, to "heat their pieces 6?Me to the trunnions, but BATTERY A. 29 still hold their position." The guns were heated, and the position held against the furious assaults of the enemy. On the 30th of May the Battery moved into Corinth through the deserted camps of the enemy, which Avere strcAvn Avith mess pans, mess kettles, bake ovens, barrels of flour. Corn meal .and beans. The cooking utensils Avere cut through Avith axes, Avhile the flour and meal was strewn over the ground in heaps, as if the work of destruction Avas hurriedly performed, in the evacuation ; tents and heavy canvass Avere also scattered on the ground. The 6th of June the bat tery removed camp one and one half mile East, and the 10th commenced the march for Florence, arriving at luka the following day. The 15th camped near Flor ence, Alii., and recruited for a fcAv days, sending baggage across the river, and all men that were sick and unable to Avalk to the hospital. June 23d, the battery crossed the Tennessee riA'cr joining the brig ade again, continued the march the 24th, crossed Elk river the 25th and camped near Athens, Tenn. The 27th Captain Cotter Avas put under arrest by order of Gen. Johnson, for allowing his men to ap propriate a i&w traitors^ fence rails for their fires. He, however Avas released the 30th. This custom of our Generals of giving guards and protection to the citizens, Avas a source of much aggravation to the soldiers, as they did not believe in protecting with the bayonet the person and property of a rebel who Avas ro.ady to shoot them down upon the slightest opportunity as soon as the main army moved out of the Avay. This subject, like many others, Avas duly considered and very much improved in the latter 30 BATTERY A. portion of the war, when it Avas found necessary to treat our enemies as enemies of the Avorst form, and not as friends. And Avould that all our officers could trace their arrests to such slight offences as allowing their commands to consume some of the property of the men that Averc aiming to cut our throats and burn our cities. On the 28th of June, the battery again advanced and camped on Indian Creek, near Huutsville, Ala. Stopping here for a few days, the teams Avere sent out foraging, as that was the only means of subsist ing them. The 4th of July Avas passed here, but the next day it moved into Huntsville, leaving three men in hospital. The march Avas continued from day to day when on the evening of the 8th, Avhile in camp on Paint Creek, tAvo horses were killed, and a third wounded, by the falling of an old dry tree, supposed to have been started by the horses knawing at a grape vine, which ran into its top. The tree fell across No. 5 caisson. Wm. Hill, a detail from the infantry, was lying upon the limber chest, while upon one of the rear chests Avas Sergt. Jesse Leonard. Hearing the cracking of the tree as it started, the^ sprang upon the ground, just in time to save them selves. The march was again resumed, camping on the 10th near Stevenson. Corporal Roland G. Day, was promoted to 2d Lieutenant. The battery Avas here joined by lieutenant Belding and Assistant Surgeon B. F. Pitman, who had been recently ap pointed to that position, by special order from the War Department. They had both been home on leave of absence. The command remained here until the 18th. It then moved up the river, and established BATTERA' A. 31 camp near Battle Creek. The 23d, Captain Cotter was taken sick and sent to the Hospital, at Huntsville Alabama. While the Battery Avas in camp at Battle Creek, the boys frequently Avent to the Tennessee river and bath ed, and while enjoying one of these pleasures, Walter X. Phelps, a member of the Battery, A'entured a little too far into the river, the current being A-ery rajDid, aud stepping forAvard, found the Avater much deeper than he expected. The strong current, not being able to SAvim, carried him beloAV Avhere it Avas still deeper. There being only one or so of the party that could swim, it was imj^ossible to give him assistance, and it was but a moment before he was a corpse, burled beneath the Avaters of the Tennessee. The manner of Walter's death occasioned many a sad heart in the company. It Avas so unexpected, that it could hardly seem possible, yet it was so. As soon as the news reached the battery, some of the best swimmers Avent to the river, and repeatedly dived, until his body AA'as finally recoA'cred. lie Avas bur ied near the camp. The Battery remained here un til the 20th of August, although it had received orders the 30th of July to move at 2 1-2 A. jr., but for some reason, did not move until the 20th, when it marched all night toAvards Chattanooga, only making two miles. The 21st and 22d the march Avas resumed .and continued through Jasper. After six hours march, on the 22d the Battery received orders to counter march, reaching Battle Creek the evening of the 23d. Bragg's Avhole army Avas seen by the cav alry scouts, only a few miles ahead, on a road at right fingles to the one upon which the Union forces Avere 32 BATTERY A. moving. The centre of Bragg's column Avould have been met if the counter march had not been ordered. Bragg's army in full force had just crossed the river, moving Northward for Nashville and Louisville. There was evidently no time to be lost. Upon resum ing the inarch on the morning of the 24th, the infan try separated from the artillery, as the latter could not march Avitli the former, owing to the rough steep passage over the mountains. There Avere five bat teries. — The top of the mountain Avas finally reached after a great deal of trouble and hindrance by other batteries. On the 26th the Battery moved forward, again reaching Deckherd, taking a position on an eminence and bringing guns to position, action front. Halting a fcAv days here for rest, the artillery moved forward again on the 31st, passing through Winchester, reaching Tullahoma for camjjing ground. Rations and forage were among " the things that were," having been completely exhausted Avhile at Battle Creek. The rich heavy laden corn fields by the road side soon furnished these two important elements of warfare, though it seemed rather tough to be without bread. Still pursuing the march Westward, ShelbyviUe was reached on the evening of the 1st of September. This was a beautiful place, and the Union-loving cit izens greeted the troops with cheers and many good wishes. The National Colors were even floating from many Avindows. Leaving the Stars and Stripes there floating from the Court House, and continuing Northward on the Murfreesboro pike, they camped for the night near a large beautiful brick mansion, tAvo miles from Murfreesboro, near Stone River. The HISTORY OE 33 3d of September the battery was again reinforced by a detail of twenty-one infantry men. The march Avas continued on the Nashville pike, passing over the railroad Avhich had been destroyed by Forest's Cav alry Avhile the army was lying at Battle Creek, reach ing near the city of Nashville the 5th of September. Remained here until the 10th, and, in the meantime, the 6th Brigade had joined the battery. The march from Battle Creek to this point had been rapid. Bragg's army had crossed the Cumber land river to the right of Nashville and was pushing onward, along the JjOuisville and Nashville railroad, to Jjouisville. On the evening of the 10th the army passed through the city, crossed the Cumberland and took the pike leading to Louisville, reaching Frank lin, Ivy., the 13th, and T^ost River, three miles from Bowling Green, the 14th, and into that place the loth. Various rumors were here afloat, concerning the whereabouts of Bragg's army. To keep the dates, in their chronological order, it Avill be necessary to leave the battery at BoAvling Green, and see Avhat Cotter did. Receiving a com mission as Major of the 1st O. V. L. A., and a leave of absence at Huntsville, he proceeded to Ohio for recruits for the regiment. A call for 300,000 men had just been made by the President. Forty-three men enlisted from Portage and Cuyahoga counties, fbr the Battery during the month of August, who were mustered into the U. S. service the 12th and 25th at Cleveland, O. While in Cleveland, the men for some ten days, boarded at the New England Hotel, having the privileges of the city. Just before leaving, however, they camped a few nights at Camp 34 BATTERY A. Cleveland, receiving their sary equipments. On the bid their friends farewell, Battle Creek, where the names Avere as follows : Allen, Sherman J. * Adams, Frederick K. Barber, Marion F.

BATTERY A. 35 of George B. Hewitt, they went on to Columbus, reaching the depot at 12 o'clock the night of the 26th. The next morning, receiving a small amount of pay from the paymaster, and taking a slight ramble over the city, — the State House &c., they again rolled on, reaching Cincinnati at midnight ; and at 12 o'clock of the 28th, took the steamer Flor ence for Jjouisville, reaching that city the next morn ing, after a brief but pleasant trip down the Ohio. On landing, the squad was ordered to report to Capt. Otis, in command of Park Barracks, three miles south of the city. The Aveather was sultry and the road ancle deep Avitli dust. Arriving at the Bar racks at midday, they were entered, and found to be filthy, and alive Avith vermin, contrary to Avhat Avas expected from the outside appearance of the large brick building, originally designed for an orphan asylum. The boys not admiring the situation placed their little effects outside on the turf, and erected temporary shelter of pine boards that Avere lying strewn about on the ground. Lieut. Dorsey, of Bat tery E., 1st O. V. L. A., Avas in charge of all the recruits at this point, for the First Ohio Regiment Light Artillery. On the 2d day of September, near sunset, an order came for a detail of artillerymen to rejjort immedi ately at the Louisville and Nashville depot, to go to MunfordsviUe, Ky., to assist the 13th Ind. Battery, as Bragg's cavalry had cut the railroad in numerous places, destroyed bridges, bloAvn uji and blockaded the tunnels, and that in all f)robability the garrison at MunfordsviUe, guarding the Green River bridge, an important point, Avould be soon attacked and 36 BATTERY A. forced to surrender, unless they received help. Those marked thus, *t, in the foregoing list, together Avith four of the old members, who had been home on furlough and were returning, whose names were, Cumfort E. Chaf fee,* Edward Wescott,* George Wass,* and Joshua Van Ormer,* Avere detailed, making 23 in all. Has tily seizing their blankets, they double quicked to the depot, took the cars, and reached the jilace that night. The balance, Avho Avere left, Avere the most of them doing guard duty. They soon removed to the New Barracks, a little east, and then to Camp Gilbert, near the Asylum on the Frankfort Pike, drew one gun, and commenced drilling Avith other men, recruited for different batteries of the First Ohio Regi ment, temporarily organized into an Independent Battery, under command of Capt. Bartlett, a man whom the men utterly despised. To join the Battei-y now was impossible ; Bragg's movements had inter rupted communication so much, that many had been captured before reaching Nashville. The excitement daily increased at Louisville, and the first direct information that A\'as iteceiA'cd from the boys that had gone to MunfordsviUe, came through Jeremiah Ward, who had been sent back to Louisville, on the afternoon of the 14th of September, after the boys' knapsacks and such other items as they, in their hurry, had left. He reported that they had been busily engaged in throAving up works of defence, mounting four guns, one of which was a 24 pounder, and that the place Avas expecting an attack hourly. Packing such articles as he Avished to take, in a box, * These men were also taken prisoners at the Battle of Mun fordsviUe. BATTERY A. 37 he Started to the depot with them the next morning, and took the train to MunfordsviUe again, Avhen it Avas found that a railroad bridge had been destroyed during the night, thirty miles this side, and the train returned to Louisville again. A courier reached the city that evening, stating that the garrison at MunfordsviUe was attacked early that morning, and that the enemy had been repulsed Avith slaughter, though the rebel force Avas estimated to outnumber the garrison ten to one. Louisville became alarmed at the threatening attitude of the rebel forces. The merchants began to move their goods across the river to Jeffersonville, as there were but a very few troops to defend the city, and Buell's army was the other side, over a hundred miles away. The garrison had throAvn up a line of works on the Woodsonville side of the river, the main work being near the pike and an old church, which was burned down early in the engagement on Sunday morning, to have a clear view. The line of entrenchments extended across the hills over the railroad, termina ting southwest of the bridge. The rebel lines were formed on the pike, with their artillery posted on the surrounding eminences. Taking advantage of the timber and the hills, they formed behind them diag onally to the pike, in a semi-circle, and marched boldly up to storm the works. They had even planted a battery on a little crest in the woods, almost within speaking distance. The 24 pounder, which had been planted in one of the angles on the Southeast side of the fort, together with the 12 pounder on the East side, were double shotted with cannister, and as the rebel lines were marching up the slope, these guns 38 BATTERA.' A. Avere fired, making wide gaps; but on — on they came, rushing like demons, closing up the lines again, as if nothing had happened, when another volley, Avell directed, left its victims dead and bleeding. They even came so close to the ditches, that they left their dead not fifteen feet from them. The slaughter Avas terrible, but the works were held, leaving some 1,500 dead and Avounded on the field. The only artilleryman Avounded, belonging to the Battery, Avas Edward K. Davidson, who was hit by a musket ball, which first struck the 24 j)ounder and glanced, hitting him in the left side, while he was assisting in sight ing it. So close Avere the rebels to the fort that to be in sight of the port hole Avas instant death. The 15th was spent in skirmishing. The 16th the seige Avas again raised. Gen. Bragg had planted sixty-two pieces of artillery in commanding positions, for the reduction of the fort, and opened, early on the morn ing of the 16th a fiag of truce was sent in demanding surrender. The commander seeing it was of no use to continue the slaughter, as they would eventually be taken, as there was no prospect of receiving rein-, forcements, surrendered the force of some three thou sand to Gen. Bragg, Avho paroled them. The Louis ville Journal of the 17th, from information which it had received the day before, said Bragg's army had completely invested the place, and that the httle garrison Avas fighting against fearful odds — and where Avas Buell? Military matters in Louisville became exciting and reinforcements began to pour in from all quarters. The archives of the State at Frankfort, and the Legislatuic, removed to the city for safety, as one BATTERA' A. 39 flank of the rebel army Avas approaching in that direction, Bragg having reduced the most important point on the L. & N. R. R., continued his movements towards the city. Transportation Avagons Avere croAvded to overfloAV- ing with baggage and goods for the ferry, to the opposite side of the river. The Independent Battery Avas even ordered to the Jeffersonville Arsenal, where they drew out five large siege guns, and begun to throw up breastworks on the Jeffersonville side, near the island above Louisville. The Independent Battery soon drew lighter guns at the depot from the cars in the night, and from this time up to joining the old Battery, was executing divers maneuvers of stragetic importance for the preservation of Louisville. New horses and harness had been draAvn. — Scarcely a day after, one night as the boys had made their beds, orders came to harness the horses, hitch to the pieces, strike tents and prepare for a move. It Avas new business to the horses as well as the men, some baulked and flcAV back and then making a start ran into the fence, wrenching the posts entn-ely out or breaking them off. At the ferry boat the horses reared and plunged. The guns had to be run down a steep bank on to the ferry boat by hand. Having crossed the river a double quick movement was execut ed. The cannoneers each having knapsack* of about 150 lbs. weight to carry to the outer defenses of the city, where the balance of the night was spent. For several nights thereafter, a position near the Asylum was occupied from three a. m., until daylight. Gen. Nelson had taken command of the troops around the city, andhadthroAvn up a stronglineof entrenchments. 40 BATTERA' A. I It Avill be remembered that the battery Avas left in Bowling Green the 15th, the second day of the fight at MunfordsviUe ; the 16th it remained in camp, the same day of the surrender to Bragg. The I7th the march was resumed toAvard Green River, leaving the baggage trains at BoAvling Green, reaching Cave City the 19th. During the day the paroled boys Avho were marched to Bowling Green, passed on their way back to Louisville. The 20tli lively skirmishing was kept up Avith the enemy in front. The battery was held in readiness to move, and finally moved at dusk the 21st, camping near Geen River the 22d. On the following day it crossed the river, and for Avard to Bacon Creek, thence" to Elizabethtown. Double-quicking out of this place, the 24th they reached West Point, on the Ohio River, and went into camp three miles from the road in consequence of the want of water which was very difficult to get on the main roads. The march was continued the 25th, reaching and passing through the city of Louis ville, parking near the river, a Uttle above the land ing. The battery was called to the front the 29th but all was quiet. Bragg's army had made Avell to the right in the direction of PerryviUe, as if to escape or threaten Frankfort and Lexington. In less than eighteen days the Battery had marched through clouds of dust, all the way from the Tennessee River across the two States, a distance of over 400 miles, and this too, without rations, only such as were for aged in the darkness, after the day's work was done, in the adjoining cornfields. The battery horses and men were nearly worn out with fatigue and ex haustion ; the carriages were loose and rickety. The BATTERY A. 41 battery Avas here joined by all of the recruits who had not been sent to MunfordsviUe, and those captured and paroled (with the exception of EdAvard K. David son, Avho Avas too severely Avounded to be removed, and was left in Hospital at Woodsonville) passed en route for Parole Camp, O. CHAPTER lY. March to Frankfort— ShelbyviUe — Lawrenceburg— Dog WaUc — Per. ryville— Danville — Crab Orchard — Counter -march — Bradfords- ville — New Market — Pinchem — Bells Tavern — Bowling Green — Lost Elver- Tyree Springs — Edgefield — Lunatic Asylum — Mill Creek. Lieut. W. F. Goodspeed being ranking officer, in consequence of Cotter's promotion to Major, be came Captain. The Battery had now been South of the Ohio for almost a year, and the storms and ex posures of its long disagreeable marches Avere thor oughly impressed upon the mind of every man. The sixty-two men had yet to learn what warfare Avas, although those Avho Avere at MunfordsviUe had had a pretty thorough introduction. The battery looked the worse for wear, and as though it had seen service. But no time was to be lost — and instead of getting new supplies an advance by the Avhole jtrmy was made from the city the 1st day of October. General Johnson's Division of Gen. McCook's Corps, to Avhich the 6th Brigade belonged, took the pike lead ing to Frankfort. The heat of the sun came doAvn with terrific poAver. The dust of the Stony pike Avas suffocating. The men Avere already exhausted before leaving the city. What a scene of stragglers by the roadside, in the shaded fence corners and under trees for miles they were scattered. Of the three batteries accompanying the DiA'ision, one took the advance one day and the next BATTERY A. 43 another, and so on, taking their regular turn to the front. Having marched nearly two days, the ene my's cavalry were encountered some distance this side of ShelbyviUe. A few raking shots kept them at their proper distance, and continually falling back when it was found that a considerable force had been making their headquarters at ShelbyviUe, a lovely town, containing many a Union Citizen. On entering the town the ladies of the place Avith smiling countenances, Avaived then- handkerchiefs, flung to the breeze the Stars and Stripes, and bid us welcome. Such greetings inspu-ed all in the noble work before them. The 6th brigade established camp near the cemetery, a few hundred yards Southwest of the village. Who could fail to recall the scenes of our revolutionary fathers, when before him stood the monuments that had been reared, marking the rest ing spot of those who had fought our battles and gained our independence. And could it be possible that these same hands Avhich had erected these last ing tributes to their memory, had j)lunged the coun try into a civil war for the destruction of the govern ment Avhich their fathers had established, leaving ruin and desolation in its track. * [The foUowing lines were written on a tombstone in Cherraw, South Carolina :] * Oh shades of patriots slumbering 'nealh the sod, Know ye the war of your unhappy State ? Know ye the turf has drank your children's blood, And your loved homes are spoiled and desolate ? Know ye the fame for which your fathers toiled, And which ye guarded as a sacred trust, Your wayward sons have entered and despoiled, And cast its gloi-ious Idol in the dust ? i 44 BATTERY A. Four days Avcre here passed, when the command moved on to Frankfort, a city on the Kentucky River nearly surrounded on either side by high bluffs. The advance guard supported by one section of the 1st Ohio Artillery, Battery "E, " succeeded in reaching unobserved behind the trees, the high bluff West of the river. Arebelmeetinghadjustbeen called together in the suburbs, where the rebellious speaker had just taken his stand, and Avas about to address them upon matters of defense, &c., Avhen one of the guns up among the bushes threw a Yankee messen ger, by way of entertainment ; and whether they were gratified or not no further remarks AVcre necessary, adjourning sine die. The crashing screaming shell flew thick and fast among the fugitives. Battery "A" parked south of the pike, on the hill just as it begins to descend to the city, where could Know ye that treason, o'er your sunny clime, Has blown its breath of perjury and strife ? Know ye your sons espoused the hideous crime, And struck with madness at the nation's life. ? Know ye the haughty and the proud, like slaves, Are fleeing to the wood, the cave, the swamp ?

Infy. BATTERY A. 45 be had a good view of the place. The railroad bridge had been destroyed by the enemy a few days previ ous. I^esting here until the morning of the 8th of October, when, at 2 a. m., a march was ordered, keeping for a time up the fine road in the valley of the Kentucky, bearing towards LaAvrenceburg. The weather Avas good, and the moon shone brightly uj^on the thread-like column, as it quietly Avound in be- tAveen the high bluffs. The stillness Avas only broken now and then by the chuckling of the artillery car riages, or the crushing of a stone beneath their wheels. The Battery had the advance of the artil lery. At about nine o'clock, LaAvrenceburg Avas en tered without opj)osition. Eighteen miles had been traveled. A halt Avas ordered. The darkies, it was noticed, were clapi^ing their hands, as if highly pleased about something. Gen. Sill, then in com mand of the Division, Avas examining the map, when it was reported that the enemy Avere advancing upon us. The troops Avere summoned to attention. The cannoneers at their respective fiosts. The command forward given. The 5th and 6th gun squad, under command of Lieut. Charles W. Scovill, had the advance. There Avas a slight bend in the road, upon Avhicli the troops Avere moving more to the Southward. The rebel cav.ilry were posted in the road, on a gentle rise of ground, a feiv rods south of the bend. Their horses were uneasy, lifting their feet and stamping them upon the ground. As soon as the bend of the road Avas reached, Lieut. Scovill ordered the guns unlimbered, and fire as quick as possible. The rebel cavalry, seeing the guns being put in readiness for action, wheeled their horses back 46 BATTERY A. over the crest, and formed in line of battle in a large field to our right. In the meantime two shots had been fired, just grazing the toj) of the hill. The guns were again loaded and pushed up the slope until reaching near the grave yard, Avhen tAvo shells Avere fired at the rebel line of battle, through fences, &c. They were decidedly opf)osed to such calls, and put spurs to their horses and flew down to the ravine, and then in squads up a long hill sloping towards us, in full view. As a pirecaution to a flank movement ujjon our left, Avhich was bordered by a large corn field, a shell Avas fired in that direction. Reaching the crest of the hill, the jjieces Avere lim bered up, and a hole in the board fence made wide enough for the horses to go through. They, in less time than it takes to describe it, made a road for the carriages, taking j)osts and boards off that stood in the Avay. The road made another bend to the left at the foot of the hill, nearly jparallel to our former course. Having taken a position with these two guns in the field to the right of the road, in direct line with the one upon which the rebel cavalry had retreated, with the guns loaded; the Federal cavalry in force Avere sent forward to feel of the enemy, as a heaA'y cloud of dust had been seen hovering over beyond the summit of the opposite hill. In the valley aud near to the foot of this hill Avas a ridge of much less elevation, and a narrow ravine back of it, Avhich Avas out of sight. Our cavalry, some 300, had no sooner struck the top of the crest of the ridge, than an equal force of the enemy, Avho lay concealed, made a charge, and a regular hand to hand conflict ensued. BATTERA' A. 47 The two guns had been loaded Avitli shell, ready to fire at the very instant Avheii needed. The charge of %e rebel cavalry, Avitli their bright colors flying, was fierce and exciting. Our forces gradually gave Avay, finally separating from them. At this instant a cou ple of shells struck in the midst of the rebel cavalry, Avhich completely filled the road for some little dis tance. It burst, and scattered them immediately. They took refuge behind the shade trees and build ings on the ridge, Avhen several Avell directed shots cut the trees off", and drove them from their conceal ment in all quarters. In their flight across the fields over the hill they were A'igorously shelled. At the second or third shot from No. 6 piece, a premature discharge took jjlace, severely Avounding Peter Yoxsi mer, Avlio Avas ramming the charge down when the accident took place. His right hand Avas badly in jured, his shirt completely torn off", and his face and hands burnt and filled Avith powder. The enemy now having fled. Gen. Sill immediately withdrcAV, taking a Westerly direction from Lawrenceburg. Peter Yoxsimer, .James H. Dutter and Varnum 11. Grey, (the two latter were sick,) all three were left at JjaAvrenceburg, and Avere taken prisoners by the enemy andf)aroled. The Division moved rajiidly Westward, following up the valley of Salt Creek until sunset. The rebel force, which numbered 16,000, closely foUoAved, and immediately took possession of all stragglers, and men who had been left at Law renceburg. The Battery bivouaced on an eminence near Salt Creek ; its bed Avas dry in numerous places atthis point. On the morningof the 9th, at four o'clock, the Division Avas attacked, opening with artillery. 48 BATTERY A. Lieut. Edmund B. Belding's Section participated in the skirmish. The road was rough, rocky and hilly. The country had been newly cleared, stumps still standing in the open fields ; water Avas scarce and hard to get, even enough to sponge the pieces, saying nothing about any to drink. There was scarcely room to turn around, without clearing the brush and stumps. The enemy's sharpshooters, con cealed in the brush and thickets, Avere a source of constant annoyance. There seemed to be all sorts of obstacles in the way, so much so that matters looked riither suspicious for a few hours. Lieut. Belding's Section delivered the deadly messengers to the foe as often as an opportunity was offered. The command was hindered here until 3 p. m., when it escaped, (with the exception of nine Quartermas ters, their nine wagons, three officers and forty-three convalescents, who left Frankfort, reaching within a few miles the evening before,) from the trap so nicely set. This place in the command is known by the name of " Dog Walk," a fit place only for their travels. The march was then continued over hills and through valleys, camping long after dark in a ploughed field. Water was obtained a mile from camp. Continuing the march the next day, the coun try was found as dry as heretofore, Avater scarce and hard to get. At three o'clock it began to rain, and fell in quantity sufficient to lay the dust. Still con tinuing the march the 11th, frequent stops were made, always forming in line of battle. In the afternoon, as the command approached nearer to PerryviUe, where a battle had been fought on the 8th of October, BATTERY A. 49 the havoc of battle was distinctly visible ; fences Avere streAvn to the ground for miles, old shanties and log huts Avorc filled Avith the Avounded, Avhile on the field Avere dead horses, cartridge boxes, disabled muskets, dead rebels by scores, and the general destruction of a battle field. Sunday morning the command moved through Per ryviUe, where the further eff'ects of cannon shot in the posts of the various buildings Avas quite noticea ble. All sorts of rumors as to where Bragg intended to give battle again Avere current, more rumor, hoAv- ever, than fact. Passed through Danville, a fine little town, possessing a Deaf and Dumb Asylum, a Female and Theological Seminary. It compared well with ShelbyviUe. From here the Division moved on to Crab Orchard, a rusty, log constructed village, and camped the other side, on the evening of the 15th, on Logan's Creek, near Hall's Gap. Four days Avere here passed. On the 19th, an armistice was the chie^ excitement. The 20th of October, a countermarch Avas ordered, moving back by way of Danville and PerryviUe, and thence tOAvards Lebanon Junction. For Avater, the numerous pond holes by the road side Avere resorted to, for both man and beast ; in many instances a thick green scum Avas seen floating upon its sm-face. This section of country Avas rough, rocky and desolate. Crossed the RoUing Fork River the 24th, at Bradfordsville, a place visited two weeks previous by the rebels, who left nothing but charred timbers, crumbling walls and black chimneys, to mark its existence. Passed near licbanon that eve ning, and camped on the bank of the Rolling Fork River. The 25th, marched through New Market and 60 BATTERY A. camped at Salonica, or what the "boys" called " Pinchem," from the fall of six inches of snow that fell that night. The Battery had been without their tents since leaving Bowling Green. The baggage wagons, it will be remembered, Avere left there. They finally reached Louisville and Avent on to Frank fort, and then, to meet the command, made in the direction of BardstoAvn, where the baggage, teams, wagons and men, were captured by Morgan's cavalry. The snoAv which had covered the ground to the depth of half a foot soon disappeared, when the com mand moved forward again on the 27th, crossing Green River, near the burned bridge above Munfords viUe, and then through a rough rocky country, camp ing on the plantation of a rebel, by the name of Carl; Avho had taken particular pains to furnish Gen. Bragg three of his own sons to the Confederate army, and numerous horses that belonged to the citizens around him. His plantation that night was bright with fires made from his fences, while his granary aff'orded the animals their allowance. He could not avcU complain as he Avas the first to set the example. Continuing the march Bells Tavern was reached on the 29th, at 4 o'clock. Had scarcely arranged camp, Avhen the locomotive whistle was heard, and soon after a long train of supplies arrived with newspapers, &c., for the army. It seemed as if the troops had been in the wilder ness for six months, and to read the news, see the cars, afforded rest and relief. This Avas the first train South since the surrender of MunfordsviUe. In this vicinity was the famous Mammoth Cave, Hundred Dome, Diamond, and several smaller ones of lesser BATTERY A. 51 note. Moving forward again the next morning through the dust, Avith but a scant supply of Avater, only such as Avas afforded by the pond holes, by the road-side, the command passed through Bowling Green, and three miles beyond camping near Lost River just one month from the day of leaving Louis ville. This river seems to have been once entirely underground to the depth of some seventy feet, and at a later period the earth and rocks gave Avay, and fell into the stream, and in time Avere Avashed away, leaving it in its present situation, a beautiful clear river of Avater boiling up out of the rocks, receiving a little light, and then on in its subterranean passage through them in total darkness. If the Lime Stone series, which are so extensive in the State of Tennes see and Kentucky, could be explored, it is impossible to foretell Avhat Avonders might be thereby revealed. While the Battery was here ncAVS arrived of im portant changes in the command of the army. Gen. Rosecrans arrived at Bowling Green and assumed command in place of Gen. Bnel relieved. On the morning of November 2d, Asahel Nash, of the Bat tery, who had been uiiAvell for some time, though able to do duty, Avas found dead in his blankets un der the Paulin Avhich the squad used as a shelter. He dropped aAvay so easily that no one Avas disturbed in the night or knew of it until morning. The 4th of November the command again moved forward in the dust and heat reaching Tyree Springs, the evening of the 5th. Before the war this had been a place of public resort for the sporting and the fashionable. But like all other places in the South began to feel the crushing power of the Federal army. 52 BATTERY A. Stopping over night at these Springs the Division moved forward on the morning of the 6th, expecting to be troubled Avith Morgan's cavalry, Avho it was reported were posted on the hills, ready to annoy the army as it marched down the long steep hill. Lieut. Belding's Section was left here Avith one regiment Of the brigade as guard to supplies. The balance of the Battery passed on Avith the command, and were not even troubled by the rebel cavalry. Edgefield Avas reached and a camp established on the North bank of the Cumberland in a skirt of timber, one mile from Nashville, the afternoon of the 7th of November. The battery had noAV marched twice across the State of Kentucky and a part of Tennes see, since the 10th day of September, a distance of over 500 miles. Morgan's cavalry had blasted down the rocks, filling the tunnels on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, so that trains were only able to reach Mitch- elville with supplies, a point distant from Nashville forty miles. This distance Avas over a rough, hilly country, infested Avith guerrillas and bushwhackers. The suppUes from this point had to be draAvn in army wagons to the troops at Nashville. While the Bat tery remained here, it also sent Avagons and men there for its subsistence and forage. On the 13th, Gen. Rosecrans held a review of the Avhole army of the Cumberland. The Battery i^erformed its part of the programme. On the 16th the Division crossed the Cumberland, passing through NashviUe, moving out on the pike leading to Murfreesboro. When near the Lunatic Asylum, the troops were formed in line of battle, awaiting the result of some cavalry, which BATTERY A. 53 had been seen iji the road and fields near there ; shoAving no hostile movements, a camp was estab lished near the Asylum; the Battery carajiiiigNorth- Avest of it, near the artificial fish poud. During the night Lieut. Scovill's Section stood picket on the pike in the direction of Murfreesboro. The I7tli passed off" quietly, and Lieut. Belding, who had been left at Tyree Springs, came up with his Section. On the 18th, a reconnoissance by the Brigade Avas made on the Murfreesboro pike. Lieuts. Scovill and Day's Sections accompanied the expedition ; Day's Section took a road leading to the left of the pike, while Scovill's foUoAved it. Nine shots Avere fired, shelling the Avoods and suspicious places. Having passed two miles beyond the limit prescribed in the orders, and being now six miles from camp and near Lav- ergne, the troops returned. For a week little or no excitement was had, save an occasional rumor, or the firing of a gun by the picket. The camp being in such close proximity to the Asylum and its conve niences, it was really a pleasure to be here, for, when a person became tired of the dull monotony of camp life, he had only to take a circuit in front of the Asylum, where the style of its architecture, the trees, the fountain, its gold fishes, and rugged rocks arranged as seen in the rude forms of nature, would change for a moment all thoughts of a soldier's life. And thus day by day swiftly flew, when, on the night of the 27th, Lieut. Scovill's Section again stood picket on the pike. The 30th, Lieut. Belding's Section was sent out with a foraging expedition, where it had the satisfaction of firing four shots at rebel cavalry. The 1st of December the Division changed camping HISTORY OF 54 ground, moving oA'er to the Nashville and Chatta nooga Railroad, and established camp near Mill Creek, the Battery parking midway between the bridges at first, and then near the Western railroad bridge, on the bank of the stream. The Aveather was now getting cool and quite chilly, and the men Avere uncomfortable without greatcoats. A sufficient quantity were here received and issued to all that Avished them. Feed, for the artillery horses and transportation animals, had to be foraged from the country, as the long line of railway between this point and Louisville Avas taxed to its utmost capacity to even supply the troops. Constant rumors were here in circulation in regard to where the rebels Avere, and what they were going to do. Frequent shots Avere CA'en exchanged Avith them on the picket line. CHAPTER V, Preparations for the new Campaign— Advance upon Murfreesboro— The Battle of Stone River— Camp on ShelbyviUe Pike— Camp Sill — Reconnoissance to Middletown — Move Camp . The General commanding ordered that no time should be lost in preparing to meet the enemy, as the day was not far distant. Company and Brigade drills were frequent, until the whole army had be come fitted to give battle to the foe. On the l6th of December Capt. Goodspeed Avas put under arrest by order of Gen. Willich. In consequence of Avhich the command of the Battery fell upon Lieut. Belding. To keep the public animals supplied with forage' expeditions had to be sent into the country, to the distance of six and seven miles ; in many of these a spirited skirmish ensued, involving close work upon both sides. On the evening of the sixth of December the Battery Aviththe Brigade were ordered to the assistance of the 4th, which had been entirely surrounded by the enemy while foraging, but they had succeeded in extricating themselves before the Brigade reached them. Another expedition in which the Battery accompanied the Brigade, on the Nolens- ville pike, the 18th of December, was of considerable interest, although there was no firing of Artillery. While in camp it was no uncommon thing to hear the roar of Artillery for a whole afternoon in the direction of Franklin, and even after sunset a rebel ."56 BATTERA' A. shell has been seen to explode in the heavens over the picket. Thirty of the best horses to be found in the Division train had been draAvn to replace those Avorii out and unfit for further service. The Battery horses Avere now in fine condition for a campaign. Outside of foraging expeditions, there was but little excitement to mar the monotony of camp life. On the 25th of December a large foraging expedi tion Avas sent out, both as a reconnoissance and tor forage. The enemy's pickets wore soon encountered after leaving camjj, and position after position taken by the Battery, but their cavalry kept at a suitable distance, though near enough to exchange shots with the skirmishers, more or less, all day. The train was heavily loaded Avith forage and returned to camj). On the morning of the 26th of December the Bat tery received orders to strike tents, and pack them Avith all surplus baggage into the wagons and send them back to Nashville. This being done the com mand moved out of camp, on the road for a mile or so, and then returned again, but in a short time the whole corps moved forwarduponthe Nolensville pike. The 1st Division havingthe advance. General Jeffer son C. Davis, commanding. The 3d Division in the centre commanded by General Philip H. Sheridan, Avhile Johnson's Division had the rear, forming the reserve of the right wingt The advance guards of Generals Davis' and Sheridan's columns encountered the enemy's cavalry, about two miles beyond the picket line. There was continuous skirmishing with he enemy, until the heads of these two columns reached NolensviUe. The Battery had little to do. The marching Avas extremely slow, no faster than BATTERY A. 57 the skirmishers advanced and cleared the way. The mist and rain had Avet the high Aveeds and grass of the fields, rendering them A'ery disagreeable to pass through. W^heii near NolensviUe a bridge was found destroy ed, and the banks of the stream were so abrupt, that a circuit of nearly a mile through the muddy fields had to be made in order to cross the stream. At sundown the rebel camping ground Avas passed through, while at the same time a mile beyond the town, the enemy made a determined stand in a defile an d upon a range of hills that cross the turnpike at a point known as Knob's Gap, lining the slopes with skirmishers, and placing a six-gun battery on a commanding position, endeavoring to repel our ad vance. They were attacked in front, and their posi tion turned, capturing one piece of artillery and sev eral prisoners. Having taken possession of the defile and hills, the command encamped for the night. Shelter tents were here for the first time put upon trial. They had been unanimously condemned, and were considered only fit for the dogs to sleep under. But upon a fair trial the men Avere happily disappoint ed, in finding them well adapted to the purpose for Avhich they were designed, and now that the large tents were back in Nashville, every two men were Avell provided with a comfortable shelter, easily put up and with but little trouble. The rain beat heavily upon us that night, standing in pools at the foot of many of our beds the next morning. On the morning of the 27th prej)arations were made to move forward at daylight, General Stanley's cavalry having the advance, followed by the 2d Div- 4 58 BATTERA' A. ision, supported by Gen. Sheridan. From the rain of the previous dayand night, a dense fog prevailed, preventing the troops from seeing one hundred and fifty yards in any direction. The column moved two miles to the front, parsing Knob's Gap, when the ene my were again encountered, consisting of cavalry infantry, and artillery. The fog was so thick at this time, that friend could not be distinguished from foe, and our cavalry had been fired upon by our infantry skirmishers on the flanks; the enemy being convers ant with the ground while our troops Avere strangers to it; and from captured prisoners it was learned that Hardee's Corps had been in line of battle since the night before. A halt Avas therefore ordered until the fog lifted. The fog having disappeared by 11 o'clock A. M., an advance was immediately ordered. On nearing Triune it was found that the main portion of their forces had retired, leaving a battery of six pieces supported by cavalry, to contest the crossing of Nel son's Creek, which had steep and bluff' banks. The enemy having removed the plank of the bridge, it was with difficulty that the stream Avas crossed Avith artillery. On the approach of our skirmishers on their flanks, the battery with the cavalry took flight down the Eaglesville road. It now being nearly dark, and a severe and driving rain storm bloAving, they were pursued no farther. The Division crossed and camped beyond Nelson's Creek. The Battery bearing to the right of the bridge, and up a long hill, where the mud was half knee deep, entering the town from the South, occupying the position which had but a few moments before been used by the ene my's guns. BATTERY A. 69 Sunday morning the 28th, the 1st Brigade, with the Battery for support, under command of General Willich made a reconnoissance for seven miles in the direction of ShelbyviUe, until the fact was developed that the rebel forces had retreated the day and night previous, turning to the left, having taken a dirt-road Avhich led into the Salem pike, thence to Murfrees boro. Forty-one prisoners Avere taken. The result of the reconnoissance being satisfactory, the Brigade returned to Triune, and lay by until morning. The morning of the 29th was pleasant, and the Brigade moved half a mile or so back, and took a dirt road bearing to the left, and in the afternoon passed down Independent Hill, from whose summit could be easily seen the Court House steeple in Murfreesboro, fifteen miles distant. — The column as it marched down the long slope windingin amongthe timbered land, with its trains, formed a living moAdng mass seldom witnessed. The Avooded tracts and cultivated fields stretched far in the distance on every side, until the][earth and sky mingled together. Near sun doAvn an occasional shot could be heard in the distance, and just at dark a cedar thicket was entered through which a narrow, rough, rocky road ran, for three or four miles. In stagnant pools, and crevices of the rock, were strong indications of Pe troleum. It Avas late before camping ground Avas reached, which was in a large ploughed field, tive miles from Murfreesboro, near Wilkinson's cross roads. To procure feed for the horses the drivers had to ride back some distance to a corn crib near the road side. A heavy rain storm again visited the troops during the night, so that the mud was ankle 60 BATTERY A. deep when the command moved on to the road the next morning. At 9 1-2 o'clock, the 30th, the Divis ion moved sloAvly forward to the front. The rail fences of the fields and road side Avere streAvn to the ground for miles, showing the effects of the cavah-y Avhicli had been through there the day jDrevious. General Sheridan moved forA and continued with it to near Corinth, and soon after at the hospital ; was discharged the 20th day of May, '62, by order of Gen. Halleck. LEVI BEANS. Entered the U.

He was sup posed to have been killed in the battle of Sunday, the 20th, by a rebel shell, while in a log house on the field, as he was last seen there by Capt. Goodspeed, who saw shell passing through the building, but he might have left it before this ; if so, he must have been kUled elsewhere on the field before night, as not the least trace of him has ever been found anywhere.
