THE TWENTY-THIRD REGIMENT.


THE Twenty-third Regiment was recruited mainly from Bridgeport, Danbury, Waterbury, Newtown, Fairfield, Georgetown, Bethel, Naugatuck, Ansonia, and Trumbull, in Fairfield County, and Watertown, in this county, during the months of August, Septem- ber, and October, 1862. It was designed as a nine months' regiment, thongh every man served a year, and some two years, before being mustered out of ser- vice.


The companies rendezvoused at Camp Terry, Oyster Point, New Haven, early in September, where they commenced the drill, and did guard duty until the 16th of November, when they embarked on the Sound steamer "Elm City" for "Camp Buckingham," at Centreville Race Course, near Jamaica, L. I.


This regiment was under the command of Col. Charles E. L. Holmes, of Waterbury, with Charles W. Wordin, of Bridgeport, for lieutenant-colonel, and David HI. Miller, of Georgetown, as major.


Camp Buckingham was a mud-hole of the worst possible description, and the Twenty-third pitched tents in a rain-storm that lasted a week.


November 30th the regiment marched twelve miles to the foot of Atlantic Street, Brooklyn, thence on board the "Che Kiang," a river steamer totally unfit for "outside" weather; and because of being over- loaded, after three days, Companies H and I of the Twenty-third, with one company of the Twenty- eighth and another of the Twenty-fifth Connecticut Volunteers, were transferred to the barracks at Pier 1, New York. All but these companies left New York City for the Gulf of Mexico, on the "Che Kiang," Dec. 3, 1862. The steamer was nearly swamped in a terrific storm on the night of December 5th, and the suffering on board for several days was very great. They arrived at Ship Island on the 11th.


The portion of the regiment left in barracks at New York received orders, December 12th, to go on board the ship "Windermere," while the balance were dis- patched on the ship "Planter," an old hulk that was wrecked off Florida Keys. A few stragglers reached Louisiana on the ship "Alice Counce."


These divisions arrived at New Orleans at long in- tervals apart, and when once there were assigned to guard duty along the eighty miles of the New Orleans, Opelonsas and Great Western Railroad, and kept at such duty almost continuously till their term of ser- vice had expired, though they repeatedly asked that they might be relieved and sent to the front. The Twenty-third was never brigaded, but left to itself, shunned by paymasters for many months, kept a year instead of nine months in service, and its officers,

most of them, confined nearly fourteen months in rebel prison-pens.


June 20, 1863, the rebels under Gen. Dick Taylor captured Terre Bonne, and on the 21st drove in the pickets of the Twenty-third at Lafourche Crossing. The same night the rebels made several attempts to capture Lafourche, but were repulsed with three hun- dred and seventy killed and wounded. Federal loss, thirty wounded and nine killed.


The rebels shelled Brashear City on the 23d, which, being defended almost solely by convalescents, was at last forced to surrender. The officers captured by Taylor were all marched to Tyler, Smith Co., Texas (Camp Ford), and held nearly fourteen months, while the men were paroled, and Aug. 9, 1863 (Sunday), at one o'clock P.M., left New Orleans on a Mississippi River steamboat "homeward bound." They arrived at New Haven, Conn., at six A.M. August 24th, and were welcomed with military and civic honors.
