On the morning of April 16, 1861, the members were notified to report at their armory for immediate service in response to the call of President Lincoln for seventy-five thousand men, and on the same day left Taunton and arrived in Boston and rendezvoused in Faneuil Hall, awaiting with other companies of the Fourth Regiment further orders. On the 17th the regimental column was ordered to Fortress Monroe, Va., and departed that day via the Old Colony Rail- road and steamer "State of Maine" from Fall River for that post, where it arrived on the morning of April 20th, and at day dawn disembarked with the Taun- ton Light Guard on the right of the line, Capt. Gor- don being the senior officer, whereby this company acquired the honor of being the first from the North to enter Virginia in the war of the Rebellion.
The company participated in the duties and for- tunes of the regiment, and on the 27th of May em- barked for Newport News, where earthworks were thrown up and an intrenched camp established. Here the company remained until June 9th, when a detachment, of which Company G was a part, marched toward " Big Bethel," and on the 10th occurred the engagement known as the " battle of Big Bethel."
On the 2d of July the Fourth Regiment embarked for Hampton, where it remained until July 17th, when it departed for home at expiration of service, arriving at Boston on the 19th, and encamped at Long Island. It was mustered out July 22d. On the 24th it marched to Boston Common, and was dismissed, arriving in Taunton the same day. The people turned out en masse, and the company was ac-

corded a hearty welcome home. Ou the 25th they were given a more formal reception. Forming in their armory, they marched to the Green, and were welcomed in an address by ex-Governor Marcus Morton, Hon. Samuel L. Crocker presiding. The company, with invited guests, then proceeded to Central Hall, where dinner was served and brief addresses were made by citizens and members in response to sentiments, and poems, by Hon. A. M. Ide, Messrs. Hodges Reed and B. F. Presbrey, were read.
Company G subsequently served with the Fourth Massachusetts Regiment for nine months in Lou- isiana. It furnished for different organizations twenty-three commissioned officers, viz .: one lieu- tenant-colonel, two majors, nine captains, and eleven lieutenants.

COMPANIES G AND K (NINE MONTHS' MEN).
Company G (Taunton Light Guard), Capt. Paull, and Company K, Capt. William H. Bartlett, went into camp (Joe Hooker) at Lakeville Sept. 15, 1862, and were mustered into the United States service on the 23d, in the Fourth Regiment, Col. Walker in command, for nine months' duty. The regiment left for New York September 27th, and on their arrival there embarked on board the ship "George Peabody" for New Orleans, as a portion of the "Banks expe- dition." One death occurred on their passage, Wil- liam B. Pratt, at Fortress Monroe, and another at the quarantine hospital on their arrival at New Orleans, viz., Oscar A. Harvey. After a passage of forty-seven days, the regiment disembarked at Carrollton, and left March 1st for Baton Rouge by steamer, on their arrival taking part in the demonstration against Port Hudson in aid of Commodore Farragut's exploit of passing the rebel batteries. Left April 3d, by steamer, for Algiers, thence (8th) to Brashear City, and on the 13th and 14th were in the battle at Bisland ; no cas- ualties. Returned to Brashear City, acting as a gar- rison for that place, which was of some importance as the base of supplies for Gen. Banks' army corps, then on a circuitous route for the investment of Port Hud- son. Company G was detailed for duty under the provost-marshal, and charged with preserving peace and good order, as about two thousand rebel prisoners were received and forwarded thence to New Orleans. Capt. Paull acted as deputy provost-marshal, with a portion of his company, at a station sixteen miles below on the line of the railroad, whose delicate duty it was to persuade the contrabands to remain on the plantations, instead of following the army, as they were inclined, that section of Louisiana being excepted in the Emancipation Proclamation ; at the same time the law of Congress made it a punishable offense for an officer to assist in the rendition of a slave to his master.
On the 30th of May the regiment (with Companies G and K) left for Port Hudson, where they had a full share in the siege of that place. On the 14th of June followed the hand-grenade slaughter of the brave men under Capt. Bartlett, whose death has been duly noticed, in the attempt to take that fort. It was one of the deplorable mistakes of the Banks campaign, as a few days' time must have compelled a surrender of the rebels without the reckless loss of valuable lives, accomplishing nothing.
Capt. Paull, the senior captain in the regiment, was
frequently acting major commandant in the absence of the regimental officers on detached duty or front illness. The command of Company K devolved upon Lieut. John H. Church after the death of the lamented Capt. Bartlett. Lieut. Philander Williams was quar- termaster, after the promotion of Lieut. T. J. Lothrop to the brigade quarters. Companies G and K had the confidence of the officers of the regiment, as they were detailed to serve on all difficult and dangerous occasions during the campaign. The regiment re- turned home in August, and Companies G and K were received in Taunton with hearty demonstrations of " welcome home."
