We were the first in the city, but soon met General Sedgwick's division marching in from the left, having crossed below us. We found that Sedgwick was to storm the heights and we were to support him. General Hooker, wiSedgwick was to storm the heights and we were to support him. General Hooker, with the rest of the Army of the Potomac, had marched up the river and engaged the enemy at Chancellorsville, and we were to hold this city. In column by regiments General Sedgwick advanced up the hill. We saw the white flag of Massachusetts as the 7th, 10th, and, I think, the 37th advanced. A rebel battery opened upon them but General Sedgwick advanced up the hill. We saw the white flag of Massachusetts as the 7th, 10th, and, I think, the 37th advanced. A rebel battery opened upon them but the line did not waver, and on, on, even to the cannon's mouth they went. The battery was silenced, captured, and its support fled. We followed close in the rear, and when some two miles from the city were ordered back for provost duty. We expected a soft snap. Coats were brushed, brasses brightened, and in every respect we

en who had died, among them my old friend Mike Scannell. That night I stood in front of the theatre, my hands in my empty pockets, wondering if I should ever have money enough to purchase a ticket. March 3, we went on board the transport General Sedgwick, bound for Annapolis. We pulled out near Fort Fisher and lay over night. Some of us went on shore at Smithfield and had a nice time. On the 4th we got under way. It was the second inauguration of President Lincoln, and all the ships were e 19th Massachusetts and 1st Minnesota regiments.

The general commanding would hereby announce to this corps d'armee the fine appearance on the review to-day of the Nineteenth Massachusetts and the First Minnesota regiments. The condition of these regiments is an honor to their States, and reflects great credit upon their commanders. By command of Major General Sumner. L. Kip, A. D. C. And A. A. G. W. D. Sedgwick, A. A. G. Official. This praise was a source of much pride to every member of these regiments.

Dana, commander of the Third Brigade, Gen. Gorman of the First and Gen. Burns of the Second, with Gen. Sedgwick, the Division Commander, and their staffs were there. Something's Up, said one of the Nineteenth and all felt that they were expected to do their best. Perfectly willing to show off before such an audience, they spanked their muskets around in excellent style and received an approving cheer when their involuntary exhibition was concluded. Later, the men were told that they had been pitted against the First Minnesota, the generals of the First and Third Brigades having made a bet of $
