These instruments were not seen again until the morning of July 4, 1862, at Harrison's Landing. On that day, in company with many others, Newman was in the creek enjoying a bath and washing his clothes. Herman Donath the colonel's orderly, rode up and informed him that guard mounting was about to be held, with music, and that he with Fifer John McCammon, (one of the best fifers in the army), were to report immediately to Adjt. Chadwick at guard mounting parade. The two musicians quitted the stream just as they were, only stopping to empty the water from their boots and wring out their shirts. They reported on parade to Adjt. Chadwick, who handed to Newman the drum which he had placed in the Commi

The enemy knew exactly the route the regiment would be compelled to take and came on pell mell. Just as they turned the corner they were greeted with a volley which threw them into confusion and turned them back. The men of the regiment made a rush for the river, gained the pontoon bridge, and Major Rice, with Lieut. Donath and half a dozen men with axes severed the shore lines which held the bridge on the south side, then leaped into the boats and poled across.

Moses Shackley, of Co. B. Lieut. Herman Donath, with the other color, fell dead and then Shackley was wounded. Ben Jellison of Co. C, instantly grabbed both colors and planted them within three yards of the enemy's front. Inspired by that brave deed, the men sprang forward like a thunderbolt and followed their colors.
