ond as an exchanged prisoner, made his appearance at the regimental camp and received a hearty greeting. Col. Hinks first assigned him into Company B, but as he desired to be with his comrades of Company K it was made possible by placing Second Lieut. Newcomb, who had been given his (Hume's) position, in Company C. Newcomb found there in Capt. Bachelder, Harvard 1859, a kindred spirit and many were the good times they had in the evenings together during the brief time before Antietam. Col.Newcomb found there in Capt. Bachelder, Harvard 1859, a kindred spirit and many were the good times they had in the evenings together during the brief time before Antietam. Col. Hinks was here placed again in command of the Brigade and Lieut. Col. Devereux took command of the regiment. The roster shows that First Lieut. James H. Rice of Company F, Capt. Charles U. Devereux, of Company H and Second Lieut. Fred F. Crofts, of Company I, were absent in Massachusetts, suffering from wounds, and Major Wass had not yet returned. First Lieut. Oliver F.

Bachelder, as if forewarned of the fate which was to be his within a few hours, talked as he never had before to Newcomb in regard to the affairs of the company; telling him, among other things, of certain money, The Company Fund, which he had from time to time sent home to his father in Lynn for safe keeping, advising him in regard to matters pertaining to the co telling him, among other things, of certain money, The Company Fund, which he had from time to time sent home to his father in Lynn for safe keeping, advising him in regard to matters pertaining to the company and making in general such arrangements as one would make if taking leave of them forever.

any. Hume had been promoted from Second to First Lieutenant, vice James H. Rice, promoted. In company K also, First Sergeant Charles H. Wellock had been advanced to Second Lieutenant, vice Hill, promoted. In Company H, Second Lieut. Frederick F. Crofts had been dropped from the rolls by Gen. Order 162, A. of P., Oct. 7, 1862, for being absent for three months without explaining the cause. The promotions were richly deserved and were for gallantry and good conduct. Hume, Briggs and Newcomb had thus each been promoted a second time for gallantry and Sergeants Adams, Driver, Hill, Wellock, Claffey, Chubbuck and Tilton were advanced for like reasons. Sergeants Charles P. Abbott and William Stone were recommended for promotion for gallantry. Private Thomas F. Winthrop of Company C was promoted to Quartermaster Sergeant; Patrick Hardy of Company E was transferred to Company K as Corporal; Sergeant E. A. Hall, of Company F, was promoted to Sergeant Major; Corporal Hugh J. Carr

oseph Hayes) was conspicuous in a charge, nearly penetrating the enemy's position at Marye's Heights, where its dead and wounded were found lying close to the works. At the third assault upon the enemy's works in the afternoon, when the 19th Mass. was put in front to occupy some freshly made works, which it held until its ammunition was exhausted, seven color-bearers were shot down in succession; and on one occasion, when two were killed at once, and their colors lay on the ground, Lieut. Edgar M. Newcomb of Boston seized both flags and raised them, meeting his own death in so doing. Somewhat similar to this was the experience of Sergeant Plunkett of the 21st, who raised the national flag when it was shot down only to lose both arms and be seriously wounded in the chest. He will be remembered by many, in later life, as having been for many years the armless sergeant-at-arms of the Massachusetts House of Representatives. The details are thus given by his regimental commander, Col.
