march through the streets of New York City, cheers were given for the Union, The Commonwealth, The Hub of the Universe and Our New York Friends. The journey to Baltimore was one continuous ovation. Not much sleep was had, as the regiment was met at every station and all along the line with great enthusiasm, crowds cheering, flagcity had been signalled to the people at The Cooper Shop by the firing of a cannon, as was the custom when a regiment arrived, en route to the seat of war. At Baltimore, the regiment formed in line, fixed bayonets and then marched through the streets from the upper to the lower station. The band played the national airs, the fyor of the city accompanied the regiment and the people looked and acted much like other people, but did not seem glad to see the Nineteenth. The journey from Baltimore to Washington was long and tedious. The train was continually being side-tracked to allow the regular passenger trains to pass. At one of these stops, First Li

ter, the music beat off down the line, consisting as it did of a banjo and a pair of bones, the climax was reached. The logs which this Axe Handle Battalion cut were hauled into camp eventually and a large hospital was built of them. Work upon this hospital was hurried, in order that it might be in readiness for a ball on Thanksgiving night. It was the first Thanksgiving the regiment had spent in camp and a jollification was planned. As Col. Hinks was very popular with the people of Baltimore, where he had been stationed with the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment during the three months service, invitations were sent to the Baltimorians to attend, and between thirty and forty ladies traveled the seventy-five miles necessary to be present. The space between the uprights of the frame of the building had been arranged so that it corresponded with the flies of the officers tents. The building was unfinished when Thanksgiving arrived, so the skeleton frame was temporarily covered with

ed with the names of the givers. Colonel Hinks sent the following explanatory letter from the field: Fair Oaks battlefield, Va., June 18, 1862. To his Excellency, John A. Andrews, Governor and Commander-In-Chief. Governor: The colors of my regiment are much worn and especially the State Color is so much dilapitated as to be entirely unfit for service. I request to be furnished with a new one, that the one I have may be returned to the State. It has never been dishonored and has successively waved at Washington, Baltimore, Harper's Ferry, Charlestown, Harrison Island, Edward's Ferry, Yorktown, West Point, and Fair Oaks and was the first to flaunt in the faces of the foes at Yorktown on the 7th of April on a reconnoisance as well as the first to be flung from the rebel works on the 4th of May, where it, together with its fellow stars and stripes, was placed upon a redoubt in the interior of the enemy's works before 5 o'clock A.

Chapter 17: to South Mountain and Antietam. The troops were not in good health or spirits, but a few days in Maryland would do much for them. Rumors were soon afloat that Lee was in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Lee had received the thanks of the Confederate Congress for his brilliant achievements and with his trusted Lieutenant Generals, Jackson and Longstreet, crossed the Potomac near the scene of the battle of Ball's Bluff, threatening both Washington and Baltimore. He marched into Frederick City, Md. and issued his proclamation to the citizens of Maryland on Sept. 7. Meanwhile the command of the Union Army, including both the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Virginia, from which Pope had just been relieved, passed quietly again into the hands of McClellan. He at once took the field again to re-organize the forces, and started in pursuit of Lee. The restoration of McClellan contributed a healthy enthusiasm and on Sept. 7 the Army moved in three columns, the right win
