HISTORY OF THE FIFTH REGIMENT
On the 17th of April, an expedition, in which the Fifth Regiment was included, started for Washington by land, taking the same route as before. Arriving at Blount's Creek at sunset on the 18th, the enemy's works were. found to be deserted, and the column encamped for the night just beyond the rebel fortifications. The march was resumed the next morning, the enemy retreating as we advanced, and successively abandoning their formidable fortifications which lived the road to Washington.
The Fifth Regiment entered Washington on the morn- ing of the 20th, the enemy having retreated to Greenville.
Company B, (Captain Parker,) was detailed to picket the Greenville road.
On the 22d, the regiment embarked on board the steamer Escort for New Berne, and arrived at camp at 6 o'clock, P. M., of the same day.
On the 27th, the regiment was ordered to join the expe- dition toward Kinston, under the command of General Palmer. The regiment proceeded to Batchelder's Creek by railroad, and marched thence in the evening by a cir- cuitous route through the forest to Cove Creek, twelve miles beyond Batcheller': Creek, encamping there for the night.
The regiment remained at Cove Creek during the 28th and 29th, the companies performing picket duty on the several roads in the vicinity. On the 30th, Colonel Peir- son was ordered to reconnoitre the enemy's works at Mosely Creek, with a view of ascertaining their character, the force of the enemy, and the topography of the inter- vening country. The regiment left camp at 8 o'clock, A. M., and after proceeding about ten miles, the skirmishers encountered and drove in the rebel pickets.
Reaching the vicinity of the rebel fortifications, they
47
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER MILITIA.
were found to be located in a well-chosen position in Gum Swamp at the intersection of Mosely Creek with the rail- road and the Dover road. Having accomplished the object of the expedition, after drawing the enemy's fire, and find- ing they were in strong force, the regiment returned to Cove Creek, which they reached at 7 o'clock, P. M., having marched twenty-four miles during the day, over miry roads, under a scorching sun.
General Palmer congratulated Colonel Peirson on the successful accomplishment of the object of the reconnoi- sance, highly complimenting him for the skill and pru- denee with which he conducted it, and also spoke warmly in praise of the conduct of the officers and men on the march and in the presence of the enemy.
May 1st, the regiment returned to New Berne by railroad.
The following letter will show to whom a part of the success of the reconnoisance was due :
HEADQUARTERS 1ST DIV., 18TH ARMY CORPS, NEW I ERNE, N. C., May 4th, 1863.
COLONEL: The General commanding the Division, desires, through you, to compliment Serj't Charles Brig- ham of Co. K. Fifth Regiment, M. V. M., for the well exe- cuted topographical sketch which accompanied your report of the 3d inst.
Very Respectfully, Your Obd't Servant,
J. A. JUDSON, Asst .- Aj't-General. To Col. PEIRSON, Commander 5th M. V. M.
From May 6th, the regiment furnished the pickets on the railroad near New Berne.

HISTORY OF THE FIFTH REGIMENT
Eighteenth Army Corps, under the command of Colonel Peirson of the Fifth Massachusetts, accompanied by three pieces of Rigg's Battery, and three companies of cavalry, left New Berne on another expedition into the interior with the Fifty-Eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers, for the pur- pose of attempting the surprise and capture of the rebel force in the fortifications at Mosely Creek, reconnoitered by the Fifth Regiment three weeks previously,
The expedition reached Cove Creek late in the after- noon. Here the column was divided. The Fifth, Twenty- Fifth and Forty-Sixth Massachusetts Volunteers started at midnight, for the purpose of making a demonstration in the enemy's front. While the Twenty-Seventh Massachu- setts and Fifty-Eighth Pennsylvania, under command of Colonel Jones, of the Fifty-Eighth, by a circuitous route gained the rear of the rebel works.
Arriving in front of the rebel fortifications on the morn- ing of the 22d, the troops formed in line of battle, with the Twenty-Fifth Massachusetts on the right, the Forty- Sixth in the centre supporting the battery, and the Fifth, under Lieutenant-Col mel Boyd, on the left, and skirmish- ers were thrown out to attract the attention of the enemy.
A sharp fire of musketry was maintained between the skirmishers and the rebels, who several times sallied from their works, but were each time speedily driven in.
Shortly after 9 o'clock, A. M., the report of musketry in the woods beyond the intrenchments, announced that Col- onel Jones had succeeded in gaining the enemy's rear, and Colonel Peirson ordered his whole force to charge on the enemy immediately.
The rebels thus simultaneously attacked in front and rear, were at once thrown into a panic, and fled in great confusion.
49
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER MILITIA.
They were pursued by our troops, who captured about 200 prisoners, 43 horses and mules, 8 ambulances, 17 wag- ons, one gun. 500 stand of arms, 17 rounds of ammunition, and the entire hospital furniture and supplies of the enemy.
At 5 o'clock, P. M., after collecting the captured prop- orty and levelling the fortifications, the line was formed to return. At this moment a rebel force from Kinston opened an artillery fire on the most advanced of our troops without doing any harm, but their fire was quickly silenced by our battery.
A portion of the enemy followed our troops on their return. occasionally throwing a shell over our heads, with- out effect.
The column reached Cove Creek at 10%, P. M., and re- turned to New Berne the next day, the 23d.
This was the last expedition in which the regiment was engaged, and in some respects the hardest, owing to the intense heat of the weather, and the miry swamps and almost impenetrable jungles on the line of march.
On the 26th. 400 men, under command of Major Wor- vester, proceeded to Wilkinson's Point, on the Neuse river. 20 miles below New Berne, to ereet and occupy for- tifications at that place, but the order having been counter- manded, the detachment returned to camp on the 28th.
On the 30th, Companies B, E, HI, L and K, were detailed for picket duty at Deep Gully, remaining at that place ten days. 100 men were also detailed to build fortifica- tions between Fort Rowan and the Neuse river.
During the remainder of its stay in New Berne, the regiment was employed in picket duty, and in working in the intrenchments.
From the foregoing narrative, it will be seen that the

HISTORY OF THE FIFTH REGIMENT
Fifth Regiment performed an unusual amount of arduous service during the term of its enlistment, beginning but a few hours after it first set foot on hostile soil, and continu- ing until the eve of its departure for Massachusetts.
During its term of service, the regiment marched about 600 miles over the wretched roads of North Carolina, and sailed over 2,000 miles in crowded transports.
Performing every duty required of it with alacrity and fidelity, and exhibiting unshaken fortitude when severely tested, it secured the high esteem of the veteran troops with whom it was associated, and won high praise from its brigade, division and corps commanders.
RETURN.
June 20th. 1863. - Orders were received at noon, to- day, to embark the regiment for Boston, on the 22d inst.
June 21st. The baggage was sent by a special train to Morehead City, to be put on board the Steamer " Guide."
June 22d. Revelle at 3 : 30, A. M. Review and Inspec- tion, by Capt. Gourand, of General Foster's Staff, at 5 : 15, A. M. Col. Lee, who was in command of the Brigade to which the regiment was attached, accompanied by his Staff, arrived on the ground while the regiment was being inspected. After the inspection, Col. Lee addressed the regiment as follows:
ADDRESS.
MR. COMMANDER, FELLOW-OFFICERS AND SOLDIERS :
Although unaccustomed to public speaking, I cannot, in justice to my own feelings, part with you without expressing my respect for you, and my gratitude for the promptitude and cheerfulness with which you have obeyed
1
51
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER MILITIA.
all my orders, whether you were commanded to march to the deadly battle-field, or to appear for drill or review.
I had heard, before the regiment came to this depart- ment, of its honorable reputation, and I was proud when I learned that it was to be included in the brigade under my command.
That pride has been continually strengthened by the faithfulness with which you have performed your duties.
You had scarcely time to realize that you were on the enemy's soil, when you were ordered on a tedious and hazardous march; and this you have followed up, with brief intervals, by frequent expeditions, leaving but little time for rest.
You may, perhaps, think you have done more than your share of labor, by engaging in more expeditions, enduring longer marches, and performing more arduous service than any other nine months regiment, or even the three years troops, in the sa ne period of time. But you should remember the Script re saying, that " Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth,' and accept the toils and hardships you have borne, as a proof of the good opinion of your commanding general, who calls most frequently into ser- vice those regiments in whom he has the most confidence.
I shall follow you to your farms, your workshops, and your counting-houses, with the warmest feelings of friend- ship, and shall always remember your services with grati- inde and satisfaction.
At the close of Col. Lee's remarks, the Fifth gave him three hearty cheers ; the regiment, escorted by the 25th and 4oth Massachusetts Volunteers, then took up the line of march through Broad Street to Craven Street. Here the escort were drawn up in line and paid the regiment
52
HISTORY OF THE FIFTH REGIMENT
a marching salute as it passed. After rousing cheers had been exchanged between the Fifth and its escort, com- panies D, I and K, under the command of Lt .- Col. Boyd, went on board the Steamer " Convoy," which was to take on board Co. G, at Hatteras Inlet.
The remaining companies then marched to the Depot, and took the cars for Morehead City at 7: 45, A. M. The 45th and 51st Massachusetts Regiments cheered us vigor- ously as we passed their camps on the south side of the Trent.
At Caroline City, the 23d Massachusetts also made a friendly farewell demonstration.
Arrived at Morehead City, at 9: 30, A. M., immediately went on board the Steamer " Guide," Capt. Vail, and left the wharf at 10: 30.
Just before the departure of the regiment, a note was received from General Foster, of which the following is a copy :
HEADQUARTERS EIGHTEENTH CORPS, NEW BERNE, June 22, 1863.
Colonel GEORGE H. PEIRSON, Commanding Fifth Massa- chusetts Volunteer Militia :
The term of service of your regiment having expired. you are about to leave this department.
Your regiment has at all times faithfully performed their duty : whatever they have done, has been well done.
The Commanding General desires to express his regret at bidding you farewell, and the hope that he may soon have the pleasure of welcoming many of your members back again.
Very respectfully and truly,
And by command of Major-General FOSTER. SOUTHARD HOFFMAN, Assist .- Adjt .- Gen.

with flags, banners, mottoes and devices, arranged with mich taste and judgment. Some of them were of the most elaborate and elegant character.
Reaching Winthrop Square at 11: 45 A. M., the regi- ment found an excellent and abundant collation awaiting them, tables being spread for fourteen hundred persons.
Rev. James B. Miles offered prayer, and Hon. Phineas J. Stone, Mayor of Charlestown, addressed Col. Peirson and his command, thanking them for their services in the runnitry's cause. congratulating them on their safe return, und extending to them the hospitalities of the City.
Col. Peirson responded briefly, thanking the Mayor and City Government for the unprecedented reception they had met with.
Immediately after partaking of the collation, the regi- ment was relieved from luty until further orders, and the Regimental Officers and Companies departed for their Lomes.
July 1st. -- The regiment rendezvoused at Camp Lan- der, Wenham, preparatory to being mustered out of ser- sice, arriving in camp at 2 o'clock, P. M.

GENERAL GEORGE H. PEIRSON. Third Colonel of the Fifth Regiment M. V. M.
George II. Peirson was born in Salem, Mass., June 16th, 1816. He received his early education in the public schools in that commercial town, and after leaving school
1
56
HISTORY OF THE FIFTH REGIMENT
was apprenticed to a carriage-smith, with whom he served his time, and afterwards successfully carried on the same business. At the age of eighteen he joined the Salem Light Infantry, Ist Regiment, M. V. M., and up to 1876, the date of his retirement, he had been connected with the Massachusetts Militia 42 years. The following is a cor- rect data of the offices he has held.
Enlisted in the Salem Mechanic Light Infantry, 1st Regiment, 4th Brigade, Aug. 4th, 1834; after filling va- rious positions in that Company, was appointed Paymaster of the 6th Regiment, May 23d, 1853; elected 3d Lieu- tenant Company B (S. M. L. I.) 7th Regiment, March 17th, 1855; 1st Lieutenant, April 5th, 1856; Captain, Jan. 17th, 1857; April 19th, 1861, this Company was attached to the 5th Regiment for three months' service and designated Company A ; elected Lieutenant-Colonel July Ist, 1861; Colonel June 26th, 1862, and was in com- mand of the regiment during its nine months' campaign in 1862-3, and its hundred days' campaign in 1864; Brig- adier-General, July 26th, 1866 to 1876.
General Peirson has enjoyed the respect and esteem of his fellow officers during his long service in the militia, and by his even disposition and clear perception of the duties of the soldier, won the merited position which he held at the time of his discharge from the militia.
He has held many important military commissions dur- ing his term of service, being President of a Military Com- mission, and General Court Martial during the hundred days' service in Baltimore, Mdl., 1864. He was elected Commander of the Ancients and Honorables, for 1870- 1871. and was the first Commander of " Phill " Sheridan Post G. A. R., of Salem, Mass. He has also held the office of Senior Vice Commander of the G. A. R., Department of Massachusetts.
57
MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEER MILITIA.
The citizens of Salem have attested to his worth, by electing him to various town offices, and he represented the people in the Legislature, in 1867-8.
Ilis valuable service to the country was recognized in 1:69, being appointed in that year as Postmaster at Salem, which position he holds at the present writing.
There are few men in this State more honored and respected than General Peirson, and every advancement he has received during his life has been worthily bestowed upon bim.
Many incidents could be mentioned of his kindness to his fellow men, both as an officer and in private life, and his cool judgment and forethought has often saved those who served under him many hardships and sufferings.
It is but justice to General Peirson to say that he was one of the most popular Colonels of the Fifth Regiment, and the many favors shown the regiment during its term of service in the war was entirely due to his watchfulness and care over his command, and being a thorough discipli- narian and tactician, the Fifth often received the posts of honor on the weary march, or on the battle field.
