Here is an interesting letter, written by Cap- tain now Colonel A. C. Matthews, May 24, 1863, to his wife after the desperate assault at Vicks- 'burg led by the Ninety-ninth Regiment, or the Pike County Regiment May 22, 1863. "My Dear Wife,


"It is with pleasure I again take my pen in hand to write you a few lines. I shall not at- tempt at this time to give you any of the details of the five battles I have had the good luck to pass through, but want to write to let you know that I have been spared and have come through, unscathed and unscratched, and am, aside from being somewhat worn out, by marching and fatigue, well and in good spirits. On the 22d of this month our whole force made an assault upon the fortifications of Vicksburg, and accord- ing to my notion we were repulsed along the en- tire line; that is, not being able to make an en- trance or permanent lodgment in the enemy's works. The fighting was of the most desperate character, and is is but little, if any, exaggeration to say that in places, end especially so on the ground where we contended, our dead and wounded almost covered the ground. We be- lieve we had the hardest point in the whole line, but of this I am not sure. By that I mean our division, brigade and regiment.


"In the morning of the day of the assault we were in line in a little ravine back of what is known as the "Burnt Chimneys" on the Bald- win's Ferry Road, and at 10 o'clock we moved forward by the flank in fours, up the ravine to the attack. We did not have far to go, and as soon as we struck the Baldwin's Ferry Road which ran by the fort, we were fired upon with terrific force and rapidity. We were to move against the fort and make our fight there, but our


76

Regiment, which was in the lead of the brigade and of the division, and in the lead of everything, made the mistake of, after the first volley, pass- ing the fort with the left of the Regiment, leav- ing the right at the fort, to make the contest alone, until the reserves should arrive. Our loss during the day was 102 men in killed and wounded. We were right up against the enemy's works, and the left of the Regiment that moved forward as if to pass the fortifications and as- sault the rifle pits, exposed itself to a galling fire of the enemy at a distance of not over thirty yards. This added very considerably to our cas- ualty list.


"The most of our men were killed in the first dash; not less than ten minutes, I should say ; but there were men being wounded all day, and in retiring from the field at sunset I had two men woundcd. Colonel Bailey and Major Crandall were among the wounded in the early part of the engagement, and then for the remainder of the day I commanded the Regiment, and have just been relieved late this afternoon of the com- mand by Colonel Park. Colonel Park was not in the assault.


"We went on the battle-field at Io o'clock and were relieved by Sanborn's brigade, McPherson's Corps, fresh troops about sundown. They did not remain on the field but a short time; they came down the hill in a great hurry and came near creating a panic in camp, but I prevented it by having the remainder of our Regiment, less than one hundred strong, get into line and move out on picket where we stayed all night.


"The killed in my Company were John Lam- bert, Charles Long and James Teasdale. The wounded were, as they have been reported to me at this time, William Sitton, color bearer, who handed the colors to Major Crandall when wounded, who was also wounded; J. K. Sitton, Thompson Beard, William O'Brien, Jonathan Smith, Moses Mitchell, Rial Walker and Joel Scurvin. Buel Adams was wounded in the battle at Magnolia Hills. In my next letter I will give you the killed and wounded of the entire Regi- ment, if I can ascertain their names, but at this time the wounded are not all in off the field, and it is impossible to state who they all are, and it is


impossible to give the names of all of them, or how badly they were wounded. They have now been on the field two days and two nights. I don't care to tell you how bad things look, and how ter- rible the field is, but we feel sure in the end we will take the city; it may require a long siege, and it may take all summer, but if it does in the end I feel sure we will be victorious. After this campaign and siege is over I expect to come home for a day or two, and see you and the children, but whether I can or not will be doubtful.


"A flag of truce has just been sent in, and the dead will doubtless be buried this afternoon.


"Hoping that our lives may be spared to meet again, I am,


"Your affectionate husband, "A. C. Matthews."


Here follows a letter from Capt. M. D. Mas- sie to the Old Flag at Pittsfield in April, 1865.


From the Ninety-ninth Illinois now operating before Mobile, Alabama, First Brigade, First Division, Thirteenth Army Corps. Mr. Editor :- While we were slowly but surely bringing Ala- bama back to her first love, I will give you a few notes under the shells and bullets from the army now operating here under General Canby, as- sisted by Generals Granger, A. J. Smith, Veatch, Benton, Slack, Dennis and other able command- ers, with assistance from smaller shoulder straps and an amply sufficient number of the boys in blue. This grand army began its march on the 17th of last month and after building about twenty miles of corduroy road through the swamps of Mobile Point we arrived at Fish River, where we separated in three grand col- umns and after two days' march we met the enemy on the morning of the 26th. After a run- ning skirmislı fight we soon drove them into their works, night coming on settled the day's action which resulted in our brigade (General Slack's), driving them from their position with a loss of one. man killed and two wounded of the Twenty- first Iowa. On the morning of the twenty-sixth the rebels made a dash with cavalry on our ad- vance skirmish line and turned it's left flank, killing one and wounding seven of the Forty- seventh Indiana. Our brigade is composed of the Forty-seventh Indiana, Twenty-ninth Wiscon-

sin, Ninety-ninth Illinois and Twenty-first Iowa. The brigade advanced in line of battle and gained a close position to the enemy's stronghold, which is called Spanish Fort. The other brigades of the Thirteenth and Sixteenth Army Corps closed in and the action became general, then the can- nons belched forth their shot and shell, the min- nies went whistling over our heads and again the scenes of Vicksburg and other battle-fields were re-enacted. During the day a heavy rain fell but we kept our powder dry and our batteries and sharpshooters played upon our enemy's works and line until night. Then there was a lull in the battle and in a few minutes the opposing armies were wrapped in the sweet forgetfulness of sleep. Our Regiment lost but one man, Cor- poral Robinson of Company A. Our brigade lost only ten killed and wounded. The morning of the twenty-eighth opened very lazily and dur- ing the day there was little done. At night the enemy charged upon our left but were driven back with heavy loss. We did not lose a man. On the thirtieth the enemy opened with shell. They have the best artillery and their shells are well timed and they explode just where they want them. One shell exploded in the Twenty-ninth Illinois, killing four and wounding nine, another exploded over our Regiment, killing Reuben Jones of Company E. They rely more upon their artillery and torpedoes than they do in a fair stand up battle. They have their harbors and channels filled with infernal machines and their main roads with torpedoes, so whenever a wagon runs over them or a horse or man steps on them there is an immediate explosion often tearing men and horses to pieces. The navy is fast clearing out the channel and whenever we take prisoners the commanding general has them dig the torpe- does out of the road. In the afternoon of the 30th our division moved out of its works and went to the rear to guard a supply train to Gen- eral Steele who had left Pensacola, Florida, about the same time that our corps had left Fort Gaines, Alabama, and was out of rations and forage. We opened communications with General Steele on the 2d of April and then moved to this place, where we are waiting orders. The rebels hold Blakely with about 5,000 men and are reinforcing.


Our lines are well formed and I presume we will do nothing more than to hold them here until Spanish Fort is reduced. Last night our fleet and land mortars gave the fort the heaviest bombardment it ever had. It was kept up for two hours. It has been very quiet down there to-day, some think they are evacuating. They admit a loss up to the present time of thirty-three killed and two hundred and forty-nine wounded. I saw Mo- bile Tribune of the 30th. I should judge from its tone that the Mobile citizens did not take a very large stock in the present strife. The paper says a great many Yankee sympathizers in Mobile, deserters and refugees say that the people are very tired of rebel rule and will hail with joy the day when Federal authority is again asserted over Alabama.


Spanish Fort and Blakely are both on the east side of Mobile bay and are the principal outer defenses of the city and southern Alabama, and with the forces now operating against them they will soon have to yield and we will have an easy passage into the interior of the state, and from all we can learn, the people of Alabama have but lit- tle hope of their sinking craft, C. S. A., and when the old banner of our country floats over Mobile the state will soon fall into line and shake off the curse of secession and rebellion. Boom! boom! our mortars are opening on Spanish Fort and away goes all speculation about surrender. The rebs have concluded to hold out a little longer and General Canby has put about forty mortars and siege guns in a commanding position so that they can not complain of cold treatment. They gave us a warm reception and now our batteries are returning the compliment with compound interest. The naval fleet has been prevented from taking a very active part thus far, in consequence of the many obstructions in the bay but they are rapidly clearing up the channel and just as soon as they run by the fort the rebel communication is cut and all is lost for them as we will have full control of the bay and all the most prominent ap- proaches to Mobile and the Alabama river. The officers and men of the Ninety-ninth are in good health and excellent spirits.


Yours truly, M. D. Massie.
