, Johnson, and Abbott learned a new tongue, which, although mastered with some difficulty, eventually became, with the aid of a little of the black snake, a powerful agent in toning down or spurring on the recalcitrant mule. An Ambulance, drawn by two horses, designed to carry the sick and wounded, completed the materiel of the Battery. Two Buglers, Joshua T. Reed and John E. Mugford, had been appointed to sound the calls for the various camp duties and for movements in drill, and William H. Fitzpatrick was selected as Guidon, or standard bearer. All other preliminaries having been properly arranged, the horses were distributed to the drivers, and taken to the Washington Arsenal to be fitted with harnesses and to draw back guns and caissons. The former having been accomplished, with no trifling amount of opposition on the part of some of the animals, they were hitched to an old worn-out battery of small brass guns furnished us for drill. It may be added that two or three of the

is caused us to think we were to spend the winter here; but in a very few days there came rumors that we were to go to Texas. These were renewed at short intervals, until Texas became the veriest bugbear, for we were bitterly opposed to going into any section of the Gulf Department. On the 17th of December we received orders to exchange the unserviceable guns we had drilled with for a new battery complete in all its equipments. The new guns, known as the Rodman, In honor of Maj. Gen. Thos. J. Rodman, their inventor. were of steel, had a three-inch rifled bore, and carried an elongated shell of about ten pounds weight. With this outfit for active service came fresh batches of rumors. The Ninth and Eleventh Massachusetts batteries had left Camp Barry for parts unknown, and we should probably go next. This prospect of a change was not wholly displeasing to us, for, although we were not anxious to go to Texas, we were desirous of leaving the brigade, as it was under the charge

ince. Alvan B. Fisher The battery wagon was in charge of a mechanic also styled an artificer. It was filled with carpenter's tools and extra equipments of various kinds likely to be needed in the ordinary wear and tear of service. In addition to the foregoing, three Army Wagons, each drawn by four horses, were supplied to carry the forage, rations and camp equipage. Later in our experience, when horse-flesh became scarcer, each of these was drawn by six mules, and Messrs. Slack, Johnson, and Abbott learned a new tongue, which, although mastered with some difficulty, eventually became, with the aid of a little of the black snake, a powerful agent in toning down or spurring on the recalcitrant mule. An Ambulance, drawn by two horses, designed to carry the sick and wounded, completed the materiel of the Battery. Two Buglers, Joshua T. Reed and John E.

o our happiness as individuals, it must be admitted (not, however, as in any way due to the management of the Post Commander) that we became good soldiers here. The frequent and vigorous drills of our efficient Captain made us, on the authority of a no less competent judge than Gen. Barry himself, accomplished as artillerists, and of this education we were reasonably proud. Leaves of absence were frequently granted to go up into the city, and even as far as Alexandria, when approved by Gen. Casey. In the earlier part of our sojourn here it was decided to build a stable large enough to accommodate eight hundred horses, and details of men for this purpose from the various batteries then in the brigade were ordered to report to David R. Stowell, our artificer, who was to have charge of its construction. A violent rain-storm and wind threw down the stables when only partly finished; but they were afterwards carried on to successful completion. As we were told there would be an ex
