Rice, and the Twentieth Massachusetts under Major H. L. Abbott, were selected by Major General Hancock to drill at Headquarters, Second Division, in the presence of the commander-in-chief. The many generals present, including Lieut. Gen. Grant, and Generals Meade, Hancock, Humphreys, Warren, Sedgwick, Gibbon and Sheridan, expressed much satisfaction with the admirable discipline and perfect construction of both regiments. After the Nineteenth Massachusetts had been drilled in the manual, the Twentieth Massachusetts gave an exhibition drill in fancy batallion movements in heavy marching order.

eturned to the Nineteenth and a number of recruits were received, bringing the regimental total up to 300 men. The weather changed very quickly and the ground was soon in condition for drills, which were at once begun by Major Rice. Skirmish drill was given great attention and one or two drill masters from each company were appointed to look after the recruits. Their task was not always pleasant, as many of the recruits were of foreign birth and could not speak or understand a word of English. The appointment of General Grant to the command of the Army was received with general approval and all awaited his expected visit to the various corps. The regimental roster, dated March 31, 1864, shows the following record: Lieut. Col. Ansel D. Wass, on detached service. recruiting in Massachusetts. Regt. Quartermaster Wm. M.

As the time for opening the spring campaign approached the re-organization of the Army of the Potomac into three corps caused many changes in divisions and brigades. In the case of Gibbon's Division, which retained its number as Second Division, Second Corps,—the Third Brigade, of which the Nineteenth Massachusetts formed a part, was consolidated with the First, under General Alexander A. Webb, who had previously commanded the Second Brigade. And thus made up, the brigade consis

ch, while files of soldiers, with arms reversed, marched on each flank and in front and rear of the wagon. The man smiled and bowed to those of the Nineteenth whom he recognized as he passed, and when he reached the scaffold in the centre of the square, alighted from the wagon and ran up the steps. Before the black cap was pulled down, he said: Good bye, comrades, officers and men of the Nineteenth. May you live long and die a happy death. I die an innocent man.

At Alexandria a day and a half were spent, and the men made the most of the time. A circus was showing there that day and in the afternoon nearly the entire regiment visited it, many also spending the evening at the theatre. When the regiment arrived at its old camp on Cole's Hill on March 20, the men found that it was occupied by the Seventh Michigan which had returned from its furlough some time before. They were obliged, therefore, to bivouack on top of the hill in the open air and found when they awoke on the following morning that there had been a snow storm and they were covered with several inches of it. For a few days, until the regiment could prepare a suitable camp, the men were divided among the camps of the Fifteenth Massachusetts and the Seventh Michigan, while som
