Devereux remarked afterward, I never felt more solemnly a demand for duty which must be obeyed at no matter what sacrifice. The men must be brough comes running, swinging his musket over his head, crying, Come on! Come on! they're running! Suddenly he drops his musket and, clasping his arms across his breast, runs to the rear with a severe wound in the arm. There's a brave man remarks Major Rice, and then tells his companions to hurry up with their loading. Here fell the gallant Adams, with one ball in the bowels, and another in the hip.

gh. The heroic regiment pauses an instant to gather breath and then, with a furious bound, goes on to the second line. As the men break through the first line, Maj. Rice is in front. With a cry Follow me, boys! he dashes forward and is the first man to come into contact with the second line. He is severely wounded through the cial medals struck by order of the Secretary of War for extraordinary gallant conduct. A private of Co.

Major Rice used the staff as a cane and on arriving at the Field Hospital gave it into the hands of General HancocMajor Rice used the staff as a cane and on arriving at the Field Hospital gave it into the hands of General Hancock, who was lying in an ambulance at the hospital. Although organizations were more or less broken up and confusion reigned everywhere, most of the men of the Nineteenth gathered about its colors, thus, in a measure, holding its identity. Col. Mallon and the Forty-Second New York had by this time wrapped around the right of the

dle leader and drove it in triumph down the field and over the railroad track with a bump into the lines, amid a shower of balls from the enemy and a storm of cheers from his comrades. The conduct of the men in this spirited affair was excellent and that of the recruits particularly so, as this was their first engagement. The casualties were: Lieutenant Colonel Ansel D. Wass, commanding the brigade, wounded slightly at the opening of the engagement. Captain J. F. Plympton and Lieutenant W. F. Rice, wounded in scalp. Lieutenant John J. Ferris, wounded slightly in the ear. Sergeant Dunbar Ross, Co. D, severely wounded in the head,—since died. Hill's loss was enormously disproportionate to the forces engaged. The loss of the enemy in front of the regiment was greater than the total number of men in the Nineteenth. The strength of the regiment in this engagement was but 190 officers and men.
