MILITARY HISTORY.
Maginnis, and such men as Charles T. Fanning, W. H. Paine, W. L. Adams, Jerome B. Cahoone, J. T. Bradley, and John B. Scott. Lieut. E. Benjamin Culver, of Norwich, was severely wounded in the head and died the next morning; he was an officer of great merit, brave to a fault, and a universal favorite. He fell in the thickest of the fight in the first charge. The Eighteenth, greatly reduced in numbers and much exhausted, made its bivouac in the rear of the rebel position, and next morning, sad at thought of the losses but elated by the victory, the column pushed on to Staunton. On the 10th Hunter was reinforced by the commands of Crook and Averill, and now pushing resolutely southward, he passed through Lexington next day, destroying much public property. The column arrived on the 14th at Buchanan, a town on the James River twenty miles west of Lynchburg, where for the first time the old flag was hailed by the cheers of the citizens, and the ladies waved their handkerchiefs from the win- dows. The army crossed the James in canal-boats and on the ruins of the old bridge, a wet night, and the men slept with empty stomachs. June 15th was a tiresome, exciting day, marked by the ascent of the Blue Ridge near its highest point, the Peak of Otter. Night was passed upon the mountain, with little to eat. Next morning the grand scenery was left behind. The force descended, destroyed the rail- road, and pushed towards Lynchburg. The Eigh- teenth lay on its arms all night, while the advance skirmished sharply with the enemy within four miles of the city. It was evident that the rebels meant to contest further advance. On the 18th an artillery duel continued through the day, and the enemy made two unsuccessful charges on our line. Col. Ely had a narrow escape here : he was wounded in the throat and was temporarily disabled. Eight others in the regiment were wounded.
Gen. Early had now reinforced the rebels, and Hunter, his rations and ammunition nearly ex- hausted, after an indecisive battle, fell back north of the James and retired through West Virginia. Surgeon J. V. Harrington, of Stirling, was left behind when the Eighteenth moved; his consumptive ten- dency had long been 'apparent, and crossing the mountains produced a hemorrhage. His absence from his post imposed great additional care upon Surgeon Lowell Holbrook, whose labors had been in- creasing every day. The next ten days brought the severest trials the regiment ever experienced,-tedious marches, with little sleep and less food, the whole army hurrying forward to escape starvation in the mountains. The scenes of that terrible march will never be recalled by any survivor without a shudder. The Eighteenth conducted themselves with soldierly manliness and propriety. The retreat was from Lib- erty, back through Salem, across the Alleghanies, thence to Newcastle, Lewisburg, Meadow Bluff, Gauley Bridge, and Camp Piatt, on the Kanawha,
arriving very much exhausted on July 3d. Next morning the Eighteenth went to Parkersburg via the Kanawha and Ohio Rivers, and thence to Cumber- land, Md., and marched back to Martinsburg, arriv- ing there jaded, ragged, dispirited, and broken down, with a total of one hundred and fifty officers and men. Hunter had made a bold dash on Lynchburg, had gone far from his base of supplies, and had met with failure, but the individual regiments are entitled to great credit. On July 14th the Eighteenth, in Crook's column, passed from Harper's Ferry down the left bank of the Potomac, and next day recrossed and pushed southward through the Loudon Valley, Early crossing at the same time at Point of Rocks. The two corps were again in close proximity. Crook's cavalry made a successful raid upon the enemy's trains, and the infantry pushed on towards Snicker's Gap, which was reached and passed on the 18th. In the afternoon the enemy was found posted across the Shenandoah to hold the ferry and resist the passage of the river. Crook posted a battery so as to com- mand the position, and then began crossing by the ford, two miles below. The Confederates permitted one brigade (including the Eighteenth) to cross with- out molestation, and then made a vigorous onset from the woods, rapidly driving the whole line towards the river. The order was given to . retreat by the ford, but great confusion prevailed. The Eighteenth held its position on the right until flanked, and was the last regiment to recross, suffering a loss of six killed and twenty-five wounded. The regiment acquitted itself creditably. It was exposed to a cross-fire; but did not waver nor retreat until ordered. Ord .- Sergt. Thomas J. Aldrich, of Thompson, was drowned, Capt. Joseph Matthewson was wounded in the thigh, Lieuts. M. V. B. Tiffany and F. G. Bixby were also wounded after being thus disgracefully entrapped. Crook drew off, and awaited the arrival of the Sixth and Nineteenth Corps, which came up next day. The Eighteenth Regiment, now numbering less than a hundred rank and file, passed slowly westward to Winchester, and camped on the night of the 22d on familiar ground. Next morning they moved out two miles on the Romney road, and lay all day in line of battle, the enemy not being far off. On the 24th the Eighteenth was on the west side of the Strasburg pike, and found the rebels advancing in force. They soon furiously attacked the left of our line, which gave way, exposing the extreme right, held by the Eighteenth, and compelling it to fall back. It re- treated in good order over the ridge west of Win- chester, halting twice and forming in line of battle to check the pursuing force. On the left our cavalry had been driven back in confusion upon the infantry, and the Eighteenth narrowly escaped capture within a short distance of the fatal disaster of the year pre- vious. The whole army was again in full retreat, and the Eighteenth reached Martinsburg early next morn- ing with a loss of ten or twelve men, prisoners, and

arrived at Williamsport and forded the Potomac with the army at dawn of the 26th. For several days the regiment remained along the Potomac in the vicinity of Harper's Ferry, where a force now gathered to in- tercept the raid of Early in Pennsylvania, where he had already burned Chambersburg.
The Eighteenth continued with the Eighth Corps until September 12th, when, after the sharp and suc- cessful skirmish at Berryville, it was detached to re- cuperate. Its recent severe service under Hunter had sadly diminished its numbers and impaired its efficiency, and it was ordered to Martinsburg, and was not engaged in the succeeding battles of the autumn. Col. Wmn. G. Ely, who had been a brave and skillful officer, and who had retained in a marked degree the confidence of the regiment, here resigned, and received the compliment of promotion to the rank of brigadier-general by brevet. He had served three years and eight months faithfully. Capt. M. V. B. Tiffany, commanding the regiment in the temporary absence of Maj. Peale, wrote of Gen. Ely : " I cannot but express, in behalf of the regiment, the sincere re- gret we feel in parting from one who has so long been our champion and leader, and endeared himself to us by his many ennobling qualities. On the long, weary march, in the sanguinary engagement, when the enemy surrounded and danger on every side threat- ened, he has ever been present with us; he has been most faithful to his trust, strict in discipline, firm, resolute, but just in the exercise of his authority. By his undaunted courage, by his cahn and deliberate judgment, by his own patient endurance of hardships and sufferings, and his ever-cheerful willingness to comply with the requirements of his position, he has won for himself the entire confidence, respect, and esteem of his command,-in a word, we have always been proud of our colonel. It has filled us with ad- miration, strengthened our courage, and inspired us with renewed confidence as we have seen him in the impetuous charge, dashing forward on the leading flank, and cheering on his men by his own enthusi- astic bravery. During the latter part of his term of service he has been in command of the Second Bri- gade, First Division, Army of West Virginia, in the exercise of which command he has acquitted himself with that ability, efficiency, and characteristic bravery which ever distinguished him as a regimental com- mander, and thus gained for himself the deserving commendations of his superiors in command."
Muster Out of the Eighteenth .- On June 27th the Eighteenth was mustered out at Harper's Ferry, having been for three months on provost duty at Martinsburg. Capt. Joseph Matthewson, of Pomfret, had been pro- moted to be major. Its losses had been heavy, its service difficult. For two years it had formed a part . of the uneasy shuttle that had been whirled back and forth through the Shenandoah Valley, as Sigel, Ewell, Hunter, Jubal Early, or Sheridan put a hand to the loom. Its efforts had not always been crowned with
visible success, but success had come at last, and no regiment could say how much or how little had been its real part in weaving the perfect garment of final victory. The regiment returned to Connecticut im- mediately, and arrived at Hartford on the boat at half-past six o'clock on the morning of the 29th. The men were-escorted up State Street, and formed in line on Central Row, where they were received with speeches by Governor Buckingham for the State, Col. G. P. Bissell for the city, Hon. John T. Wait and Representative George Pratt, of Norwich, for New London County, and Senator Bugbee for Windham County. The soldiers then breakfasted at the hotel and eagerly departed for their homes.
Casualties .- Killed in action, 52; died of wounds, 14; died of disease, 72; discharged prior to muster out of regiment, 323; missing at muster out of regi- ment, 12.
