rs, and soon they came. At this time the question of forming a regimental organization of the light batteries from Massachusetts was under consideration. Had it been carried through it was expected that Captain Martin of the Third Battery would ction:— Headquarters Art'y, 3rd Army Corps, December 30, 1863. To His Excellency, John A. Andrew, Governor of Massachusetts. Sir,—I learn, and hope correctly, that the independent Batteries of your state are to be organized as a regiment advantage to the service. I most cordially recommend him to the favorable notice of his Excellency the Governor of Massachusetts. [Signed] E. K. Platt, Capt. & U. S. Artillery Major and Judge Advocate, A. O. P.

to Castle Thunder early in the war, and described the battles that had taken place on his farm. He was one of the few men in the Old Dominion whom neither argument nor intimidation could swerve from an unyielding devotion to the Union. On the 2d of March, Maj. Gen. Grant having been previously nominated to the grade of lieutenantgeneral, was confirmed in this rank by the Senate, and on tile 10th assigned, by special order of President Lincoln, to the command of all the Armies of the United States; and soon came the tidings that his headquarters were to be with the Army of the Potomac. Then followed a rumor that the army was to be reorganized, and this report soon took the form of reality, for we now learned that the Third Corps was doomed,—dismal news indeed. Next to the attachment men feel for their own company or regiment comes that which they feel for their corps. All the active service we had yet seen had been in the Third Corps, and its earlier history and traditions from

Drills and inspections were not lost sight of in this period. A review of the Artillery Brigade of our corps took place under the observation of Generals Meade, French, and Hunt, December 23d, and again by Gen. French, February 23d. February 6th, orders came to pack up, and the next morning we hitched in, momentarily expecting to depart, but on what errand we then knew not. It seems that Gen. Butler, believing Richmond had been stripped of its garrison to strengthen Pickett's force in North Carolina, planned a cavalry expedition against it up the Peninsula under Gen. Wistar, while as a diversion in his favor Gen. Sedgwick, then temporarily in command of the army, threw across the Rapidan two divisions of cavalry and two of the Second Corps to occupy the attention of Lee's army. As a precautionary measure for the safety of the troops thus thrown forward, we were ordered to be in readiness. It is scarcely necessary to add that the expedition came to naught; having found its way bloc

orarily in command of the army, threw across the Rapidan two divisions of cavalry and two of the Second Corps to occupy the attention of Lee's army. As a precautionary measure for the safety of the troops thus thrown forward, we were ordered to be in readiness. It is scarcely necessary to add that the expedition came to naught; having found its way blocked at Bottom's Bridge, the troops returned to their starting-point, their fortune almost identical with that of the British troops sent to Salem a hundred years before, who, as Trumbull puts it,— . . . . without loss of time or men, Veer'd round for Boston back again, And found so well their projects thrive, That every soul got home alive. But the Army of the Potomac suffered a useless sacrifice of two hundred and fifty lives. Wednesday, March 16, a corps review was had by Gen. French, accompanied by Gen. Sedgwick, near the residence of that uncompromising loyalist John Minor Botts. The gentleman himself came out to see
