wo o'clock in the afternoon the regiment reached Edward's Ferry, in sight of Ball's Bluff where the regiment had received its baptism of blood. Something was not ready and the men rested wearily on the bank until after nightfall, while Adams, Thompson, Donath and Ferris, Rice, Palmer and Charlie Rowe lent voice and wit in speech and song to while away the leaden hours. No one who was there will forget The Kentucky Lawyer as they heard it that night from the lips of Rowe, with the various edinant, vice Chadwick, discharged, to date Feb. 26. Co. F., First Lieut.

e than was expected; they were taken by surprise and many surrendered and some broke and ran. We followed them up the hill, capturing one field officer and several line officers and all the men (450 in all) except a few who went over the hill to their reserve. The rebels had exposed one battery of five pieces in front of the wood and upon this the Second Division concentrated its fire. After the capture of the prisoners, the Major sent out companies K and E as skirmishers and Lieutenant John B. Thompson, who had command of the two left flank companies of the Nineteenth, not wishing to weaken his line, allowed Sergeants Corrigan and Maloney and private Johnson, all of Co. E, to advance to the pieces. They destroyed one gun and brought in two and a limber and four horses. Men were at once furnished from the First Minnesota and Andrew Sharpshooters, who brought in the other two pieces. Sergeant Corrigan limbered up one of those taken by the Nineteenth, mounted the saddle leader a

e right of the road. The firing in front increased. Soon the open ground was reached near Robertson's Tavern, which was entered on the double quick. Occasional shells passed over and a line of battle was formed on the crest of a ridge to support a battery there. It was greeted with minie balls which continued to come for some hours, more or less thickly. They did little harm, however, being aimed too high, but the experience was a trying one upon the nerves. Companies K and E, Lieutenants Thompson and Hall commanding, were advanced as skirmishers for the brigade front. The two companies, loaded with knapsacks, etc. went in on the double quick. Many of the men were nearly exhausted but they drove the enemy across a field and into a wood, in the edge of which they made a stand. The two companies of skirmishers then took a position under the brow of a hill and lay down, all the while keeping up a brisk fire. The enemy made many attempts to break through the line, but were repu

ar to the right, and immediately came roaring swiftly down the line toward the Nineteenth. Suddenly, as if springing from the ground, there appeared a line of grey along the ridge. Scattering shots were fired at them as they advanced, but all the men were ordered to fall back, (the trumpeter sounding the Assembly at the top of the works) to the breastworks and the regiment was quickly reformed on the opposite side, a little to the left of the previous position. The Rebs had captured private Thompson, of Company B. Behind the breastworks the lines of men were awaiting the enemy with muskets loaded, capped and cocked and bayonets fixed. The regiment lost three killed, nine wounded and seventeen missing. The rebel line did not reach the position taken by the Nineteenth Massachusetts and the men stood in line and fired from the works until the fight was over. The breastwork caught fire and forced the Nineteenth to occupy the one which, fortunately, had been built as a second li

eld of Gettysburg. Two other non-commissioned officers of this regiment, who had taken colors from the enemy, viz: Sergeants Benjamin Falls and Samuel E. Viall, were not spared to this proud honor, having met a soldier's death during the present campaign. The regiment had to lament the loss of Lieut. John J. Ferris, who had been promoted from the rank of private, step by step, for soldierly qualities, but particularly for his coolness and bravery in action. Captain Mumford and Lieutenant Thompson also met their deaths in the fearless discharge of their duties and during the following actions respectively; 12th of May, Spottsylvania Court House; 31st of May, Jones' Farm, and 3d of June, Cold Harbor. Captain Hinks was severely wounded in this engagement, after having acquitted himself with marked bravery during the preceding part of the campaign. The regiment also sustained severe loss by the death of valuable and efficient noncom-missioned officers, among whom may be mentioned

graceful, but ashy pale, Just as he looked when, cold and dead, We dug his grave at sad Glendale. Another rides with that silent host— Boyd, the hero of many fields— Who bravely fell at duty's post, Just as the foe the contest yields. And there George Batchelder we see, Gentle and true, and bravest of men, And there steps gallant David Lee, And Mumford's manly form we ken. Newcomb is there, with thoughtful face, In that battalion weird and vast; And brave Tom Claffy has a place, And valiant Thompson marches past. There with the men he led in fight, The handsome Ferris moves along; There's Donath, with his ways polite, And Robinson is with the throng. Three hundred of our bravest men, Who fell on Southern battle plains, Or yielded life in prison pen, That silent host of death contains. We see their faces as of old, We reach for hands we may not clasp; We nevermore can them enfold Within our warm and friendly grasp. But deep within our hearts we hold Remembrance of our gallant dead; And
