he review of yesterday. So much progress in so short a time gives promise of admirable results and reflects great credit upon both instructors and instructed. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Chas. Stewart, A. A. G. At this time there were six Harvard men in the regiment,— Maj. Henry Jackson Howe, '59; Asst. Surg. Josiah Newell Willard, '57; Capt. George Wellington Batchelder, '59; Sergt. Maj. Edgar Marshall Newcomb,‘60; First Lieut. John Hodges,. Jr., ‘61 and Charles Brooks Brown, '56. It was not an infrequent occurrence for the regimental band to include among its selections the delightful melody of Fair Harvard in their honor. The chief thing of interest, beside work, at Poolesville seemed to be to stockade the tents and to build a fire-place which would not smoke the occupants out. Capt. Rice constructed one where the fire was to be in a hole in the ground, the smoke to be carried under ground until it could escape by means of a hollow log, placed upri<

wounded in the leg and fell to the ground. (His leg was afterward amputated). The command then devolved upon Capt. Mahoney and, almost immediately, he too fell with wounds in the arm and side. Again the color bearers were shot down. Sergt. Charles B. Brown, of Company G, was the seventh man to grasp the colors and he quickly received a wound in the head which stunned him. Lieut. Hume, thinking the wound a mortal one, told him to give up the colors, but he refused saying, I will not give th. Private Samuel W. Day, forehead and side, severe.

lls and bursting shells, which screeched down the path he was compelled to take, coolly walked down the slope toward General Meade's Headquarters and stooped over the spring. A round shot struck the ground between his feet, but did not harm him and he returned safely over the fireswept plain. The water is cold enough, boys, he shouted, but its devilish hot around the spring. The gallant deed and the merry jest drew cheers from those who, with bated breath, had watched the journey. Lieut. Brown, bareheaded, again called out: For God's sake, Colonel, let me have twelve men to work my gun. The men heard it and looked into each other's eyes. Can I? Snellen, the sailor soldier from Marblehead,—struck already by one spent ball,—limped to the front. I'm one boys! Who's the next? he said. Then Capt. Mahoney and Sergeant Billy McGinnis, of Co. K, Sergeants Cornelius Linnehan and Matthias Bixby, of Co. F, and twenty more immediately responded, and did excellent service. They rep

reaten and command. They are obliged to fall back upon the second line. Hall's right, overlapped, has to sag back, swaying to the rear because of the pressure, but swaying forward again as the ocean surges against a rock. Regimental organization is lost, ranks are eight or ten deep,—pushing struggling, refusing to yield, but almost impotent for good. A gap opens between Webb and Hall for a brief instant, at the time when there was a sudden lull in the firing of the cannon. Woodruff, Brown, Cushing, Rorty and every other commissioned officer, almost without exception, of their respective batteries is dead or disabled. Gen. Gibbon, commanding the division is also wounded. Gallant Alex. Hayes, stripped to his shirt, is yelling down his line and a regiment of Ewell's corps, entangled with his force, passes captive to the rear. Mallon! We must move! shouts Col. Devereux to his friend, the commander of the Forty-Second New York. Just then a headlong rush of horses' feet, spu

own and half of the Nineteenth were either killed, wounded or captured. Among the latter was Colonel Edmund Rice, in command of the regiment, and in this action the regiment also lost one of its bravest officers, First Lieutenant John J. Ferris, of Boston. He was shot in the head during the charge on the rebel works. The Corps captured 5,000 prisoners, including Major General Edward Johnson and Brigadier General George H. Stewart, over thirty stands of colors and 18 cannon. Sergeant Charles B. Brown, of Co. G, bearing the regimental colors, was struck by the fragments of a shell which burst near him. His right leg was taken almost off by the explosion, and his left leg was badly mangled. Just as the Wilderness Campaign had opened, Sergeant Brown had received from Major General Butler an appointment as First Lieutenant in the General's department, dated April 26, 1864. Without seeking leave or orders to report under that appointment he had put the document in his pocket and
