Battery B.
Company D, of the 3d Ky. Infantry, when that regi- ment was first recruited by Col. Bramlette at Camp Dick Robinson, was used for the artillery service, and came to be known as Battery B, or Hewitt's battery. The men were recruited by Capt. Hewitt for infantry service, but as an artillery company was needed, it was drilled for that service, and was mustered as such by Gen .. Thomas October 8, 1861. At that carly period of the war it was under Gen. Thomas, and was used in the parts of the state about Somerset, Columbia and toward Cumberland river.
November 7th Gen. Thomas says, in a report, that the enemy had returned to Monticello, he supposes, because

he had withdrawn from thence Capt. Hewitt's battery, and that he had directed it to return.
In December it was at Campbellsville; in January, 1862, at Birch Grove; in February it was taken to Louis- ville, and immediately sent to Nashville, where it was continuously from March to November, 1862, being used there for the defense of that place and the surrounding country. In April it was at Murfreesboro, and in June it accompanied a cavalry expedition across the mountains to the front of Chattanooga.
July 13th, while at Murfreesboro, the place was at- tacked by Forrest, and a part of the Federal force there, under Gen. T. T. Crittenden, was captured. At this time Battery B lost two guns.
When Buell's army marched to Kentucky, Battery B was retained in Tennessee, it being Gen. Buell's policy to keep there a considerable force for the protection of Nash- ville.
When Buell was superseded by Rosecrans, Battery B went with the Federal army from Nashville to Murfrees- boro, and participated in that battle, December 31, 1862. In that battle it was in Negley's division, and was posted to the right of Crittenden's corps and left of McCook's corps. Its losses were severe, and the horses were greatly injured. The battery fired four hundred and ninety- three rounds on December 31st. After the battle the bat- tery remained at Murfreesboro and vicinity, until June, 1863, when it engaged in an expedition, under Gen. Neg- ley, from Murfreesboro through Hoover's Gap, Manches- ter, Hillsboro, Bobo's Crossroads to Elk river, engaging the enemy frequently on the way, once severely at Uni- versity. In July it was still in Negley's command at Decherd Station, and from August, 1863, to February, 1864, it was stationed at Elk river bridge, being used from that point on various moves. In March it was again at Decherd Station. From April to October, 1864, it was used to guard the railroad over which supplies went from Nashville to Sherman's army in Georgia. Its post was Tullahoma, and much of the time it was in charge of Lieut. G. W. Nell, though sometimes under Lieut. Ells- worth.
This battery did not enter the veteran organization as a whole, but some of its members did so, and they were transferred to Battery A. . The battery, as an organiza- tion, however, was ordered to Louisville in November. 1864, and on November 16th was mustered out of service.
The career of this battery was most useful and hon- orable, beginning with Gen. Thomas, when he was con- tending with Zollicoffer's forces in Eastern Kentucky, it

Battery C.
Battery C was organized in August, 1863, by Capt. John W. Neville. It was intended for one year's service, but in February, 1864, it entered the veteran organiza- tion and continued in service until the end of the war. It may be seen, by reference to the history of several of the infantry and cavalry organizations, that a strong force was necessary in Kentucky to guard the state from in. ensions which would have destroyed its railroads and

other property. Battery C was used in Kentucky in con- nection with these forces.
anon.
On the 21st of May, 1863, John W. Neville, of Louis- ville, was commissioned to raise a six-gun battery-one hundred and fifty-six men. He located his camp at Leb- He drew one gun from the state for drill purposes, and by July 1st had seventy men. July 3d Lebanon was attacked by Gen. Morgan, and the troops there under Col. Charles S. Hanson were compelled to surrender. Capt. Neville's men were marched hurriedly with Morgan's force, but they were left without having been paroled. Capt. Neville then moved his camp to Louisville, completed his organization and was mustered into service September 10, 1863. He was at once ordered to report to Gen. Hob- son, in the southeastern part of Kentucky.
March 1, 1864, he reported to Gen. Sturgis, at Paris, Ky., and made the move with Gen. Stoneman on his raid to Georgia, but after starting was ordered to return and report to Gen. Burbridge at Lexington, and was assigned to the 5th Division, 23d Army Corps, at Mt. Sterling. Early in May it moved to the mouth of Beaver on the Big Sandy. It was then with Col. Hanson's brigade. At this time Gen. Morgan came into Kentucky by way of Pound Gap, and Capt. Neville's battery moved in pur- suit by way of Louisa. From there it accompanied the troops on the rapid march through Salyersville and Hazel Green, toward Mt. Sterling. June 9th it came up with Morgan's forces in the vicinity of Mt. Sterling, and became severely engaged several hours. All the battery horses except one were killed, and one gun captured, which was a little afterward recaptured. Equipping with other horses the battery, with the various troops that had come up, it pursued Morgan through Lexington to Cynthiana. where another severe fight occurred. The battery opened the battle, firing with great effect upon the enemy at the bridge. In this engagement Lieut. Reynolds was in com- mand of the battery, and was handsomely complimented by Col. Hanson. The result of the fighting was the com- plete overthrow of Morgan and his rapid expulsion from the state.
On the 14th of November, 1864, the men of the battery who did not re-enlist were mustered out, while the veter. ans and recruits continued with the 5th Division, and in Col. Hanson's brigade. With these troops it went on the expedition to Saltville, Va., enduring all the hardships and severe fighting incident thereto.
From that campaign it returned to the eastern part of Kentucky, where it was held on duty until in the early part of 1865, when it was ordered to Arkansas. It re-

mained there on duty during the spring of 1865, and from thence returned to Louisville, and was mustered out of service July 26, 1805.

Battery E.
This battery was organized at Louisville, Ky., in Sep- tember, 1863, under Capt. John J. Hawes, and was mustered into the United States service for one year at Camp Nelson, Ky., on the 6th day of October, 1863, by Capt. R. B. Hull, United States mustering officer. It per- formed garrison duty at Camp Nelson and Camp Burnside for several months, being in the command of Gen. T. T. Garrard commanding the District of Somerset, and in February, 1864, re-enlisted for three years. It was at Lexington, Ky., in June, 1864, when the city was attacked by John Morgan's forces, and by a few well directed shots, succeeded in driving them from the city. It remained at Lexington, Ky., until November, 1864, being in Gen. Mc- Lean's division and the brigade commanded by Col. S. W. Price, when it received orders to march for East Tennes- see, and join Gen. Stoneman in his expedition against Saltville, Va. This battery participated in the battle of Marion, Va., on the 18th of December, 1864, and on the 21st of December, in the capture of Saltville. After the capture of Saltville, all the guns of the battery were de- stroyed and the men mounted and returned to Lexing- ton, Ky., by way of Pound Gap and Mt. Sterling. This expedition was one of great severity, many of the men being badly frost-bitten, but enduring the cold and fatigues with marked patience and courage. From Lex- ington it marched to Camp Nelson, where it remained until ordered to Louisville, Ky., for muster-out August 1, 1865.

ENGINEERS.
Patterson's Company of Mechanics and Engineers.
Patterson's company of mechanics and engineers was organized at Somerset, Ky., under Capt. W. F. Patterson, and mustered into the United States service by Lieut. Chas. S. Medary, United States mustering officer.
This company had a most extraordinary career. As soon as enlisted it was employed in the construction of defenses for Camp Hoskins, Ky., then under command of Col. Hoskins, up to the 2d of December, 1861, when Brig. Gen. Shoepff assumed command, and continued the work of defense in the vicinity of Somerset, Ky., until the battle of Mill Springs, on the 19th of January, 1862. On the 16th of January this company, together with seven companies from the command, were employed in the re- pair of the road from Somerset to Stanford, Ky. On the 8th of February, the seven companies were relieved and the work continued by this company, under orders of Gen. Thomas. On the 12th of April, it was ordered to report to headquarters Seventh Division, Army of Ohio, Cumber- land Ford, Ky., by Gen. Geo. W. Morgan, where it arrived on the 20th, repairing roads on the way. From the 25th of April to May 1st, engaged with large detailed force, aided in the repair of the road for supplies. From 1st of May this company constructed roads and bridges forty milo's for a flank movement upon Cumberland Gap through Cumberland mountains, which was accomplished successfully on the 18th of June. From this date a new detail was added of two hundred and thirty men, and en- gaged in the construction of buildings, roads, etc., up to the 1Sth of September when all was destroyed by order of Gen. Morgan, together with nine siege guns. Marched with the advance of column, clearing blockades, building bridges, etc., to Greenupsburg, Ky., two hundred miles, arriving on the 3d of October. Continued with the column to Charleston, Va. Embarked on transports 1st of No- vember, 1862, for Memphis, arriving about December 1st. On the 20th of December, embarked on transports for Yazoo river, arriving and debarking at Chickasaw Bayou on the 26th of December. A battle occurred on the 27th. From the 26th to the 1st of January, 1863, this company was constantly engaged, day and night, in preparing earth-works, and on the 28th was greatly exposed in an
