This regiment was raised, organized, and equipped at the expense of the general government, and was designated from the outset to constitute a portion of Maj .- Gen. B. F. Butler's New England Division for special service. Upon the nomi- nation of Gen. Butler, IIon. George F. Shepley, of Portland, long district attorney of the United States, and whose repu- tation as one of the ablest and most eloquent lawyers in New England is too well known to require mention here, was appointed colonel of the regiment. At the instance of Col. Shepley, William R. Kimball, of Paris, formerly United States marshal, was appointed lieutenant-colonel, and David R. Ilastings, Esq., of Lovell, major. Edward Ilsley, for- merly of the 5th, was appointed adjutant, and Horatio N. Jones, Esq., of Portland, quartermaster.
Gen. Butler and Col. Shepley being desirous that one of the batteries of light artillery raised in this State should be permanently attached to this regiment, at the request of the latter, Capt. Edward W. Thompson, of Brunswick, formerly of Company D in the 5th Regiment, was appointed to that command. The clothing, uniform, and equipments and a complete outfit for this regiment were gotten up by Col. Shepley's direction and under his constant supervision, and were equal, if not superior, to those of any regiment in the service. The organization of the regiment was com- pleted Nov. 16, 1861, to serve three years, and left Port- land for Lowell, Mass., on the 24th, where, after being

eneamped several weeks, it embarked on board the steam- ship " Constitution" Jan. 2, 1862, constituting a part of Gen. Butler's New England Division, designed for the cap- ture of New Orleans. On the 19th of Jannary they dis- embarked at Fortress Monroe, and on the 4th of February proceeded on their voyage, arriving at Ship Island on the 12th. They remained at Ship Island until the 4th of May, then proceeded to New Orleans. On the 22d of June they participated in the expedition to Manchae Pass, where they engaged the enemy and suffered a loss of four- teen killed and several wounded and taken prisoners. Sub- sequently they returned to New Orleans, where they remained till the 21st of October. On that day the regi- ment removed to Camp Parapet, and on the 19th proceeded towards Baton Rouge, where they arrived on the 20th of December. During this march they were engaged in frequent skirmishes with the enemy, but met with few casualties.
In the spring of 1863, during the early stages of the campaign for the reduction of Port Hudson, they performed an important part, assisting in covering the successful naval movement under Farragut, which resulted in his passing the enemy's stronghold with his fleet, and communicating with the fleet above. Returning to Baton Rouge, they formed a portion of the expedition under Gen. Grover up Grand Lake, after which they participated in the Port Hudson campaign, losing sixty-eight killed and wounded. On the 7th of July, immediately following the surrender of Port Iludson, they embarked for Donaldsonville, engaged the enemy at that place, and there remained about a montb, when they returned to New Orleans. From thenee they proceeded to Ship Island to protect that post from a threat- ened attack from Mobile, and there remained during the months of August and September. They then returned to New Orleans, and remained until Jan. 3, 1864, when they formed part of an expedition to Madisonville, which place they ocenpied till the 11th of March.
On the 12th two thirds of the regiment re-eulisted as veterans. On the 16th of April they were furloughed and eame to Maine, the balance of the men, who did not re- enlist, remaining in New Orleans. The furloughed men arrived in Portland on the 27th of April, and re-assembled there on the 27th of May, when they left for New York, where they arrived on the 3d of June, and sailed for New Orleans on the 8th. Immediately upon their arrival at New Orleans, on the 16th, they were ordered to Carrolton, and from thence on the 23d to Morganzia, where they ar- rived on the following day.
On the 3d of July they proceeded to Algiers, and on the 13th sailed for Fortress Monroe, where they arrived on the 20th. From thenee they proceeded to City Point, where they were ordered to report to Gen. Butler at Bermuda Hundred. Disembarking on the 21st, they proceeded on the same night to Gen. Butler's position, between the Ap- pomattox and the James Rivers, and there remained till the 28th, when they participated in the movement of the 2d Corps and Gen. Sheridan's command across the James.
On the 13th of July they were ordered to Washington, thence towards the Shenandoah Valley, and joined Gen. Sheridan's forees at Berryville on the 17th of August. On
the following morning they moved towards Harper's Ferry as far as Charlestown, and took position, remaining till the 21st, when they retreated to Halltown. On the 3d of September they proceeded up the valley, and participated in the battle of Winchester on the 19th, losing in the engage- ment two commissioned officers killed and six wounded, twelve enlisted meu killed, seventy-eight wounded, and tif- teen missing. They then joined in the pursuit of the en- emy to Harrisonburg, where they arrived on the 25th. and returned to Cedar Creek on the 10th of October. They bore an honorable part in the action at that place on the 19th, in which their casualties were as follows : One com- missioned officer and six enlisted men killed, two commis- sioned officers and twenty enlisted men wounded, two com- missioned officers and fifty-one enlisted men missing. On the 20th of October they moved to Strasburg, and shortly afterwards returned to their old position at Cedar Creek, where they remained till the 9th of November. On that day, with their corps, they moved back to the northern bank of the Opequan.
The regiment was mustered out of service at Portland, Me., on the 7th of December, 1864; the recruits and re- enlisted men, however, remaining in the field and being or- ganized into a battalion of four companies. This battalion was afterwards ordered to Savannah, Ga., where it was sub- sequently raised to a full regiment by the assignment of the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 16th, and 18th Companies of un- assigned infantry, organized at Angusta, Me., in February and March, 1865, to serve one, two, and three years.

RECEPTION IN PORTLAND.
As the train entered the depot a salute was fired, and the cheers of thousands rent the air. A procession was formed, and moved in the following order :
Photo, by Conant, Portland.
GEN. CHARLES P. MATTOCKS ( Henry,7 Samuel, Jr.,6 Sam- uel,5 James,4 Samuel, Charles,2 James1) is a descendant in the eighth generation from James Mattoeks, who was born in Devonshire, England, and was one of the first settlers of Bos- ton, Mass.
His great-grandfather, Samuel, was State treasurer of Ver- mont from 1786 to 1800, and his great-uncle, John Mattoeks, was a member of Congress from Vermont, justice of the Su- preme Court, and Governor of the State. The family is traced to Middletown, Conn., Hartford, Conn., and Middlebury, Vt., where many of the ancestors were born and died.
Ilis father, Henry, born in Middlebury, Vt., Dee. 12, 1805, married Martha O. Porter, of Danville, Vt., in 1839. lle was a merchant and banker. For many years he was eashier of the Caledonia National Bank at Danville; was succeeded by his brother, Samuel, and he in turn succeeded by his son, James B., the family being connected with the history of the bank for forty years.
Charles P., only son of Henry Mattoeks, was born at Dan- ville, Vt., Oct. 11, 1840. He was fitted for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass., under Dr. Taylor; entered Bow- doin College in 1858, from which he graduated in 1862.
With that patriotism and manly resolution so fully developed afterwards upon the battle-field, immediately after the elose of his school work, he entered the 17th Regiment Maine Infan- try as first lieutenant, and participated in all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, from the first battle of Fredericksburg until the surrender of Lee, except for a period of nine months when he was a prisoner of war. For gallant and meritorions serviees on the field of battle he was promoted through the various grades of office, and in May, 1865, was brevetted brigadier-general, to date from Gon. Lee's surrender. For gallantry and bravery at the battles of Little Sailor's Creek and Amelia Springs he was brevetted from major to colonel, there being at that time only two instances during the war where a double brevet had been given at a single promotion.
In the winter of 186-1-65 he was detached from his own regiment and placed in command of the First United States
Sharpshooters (Burdan's), and while in command at the bat- tle of the Wilderness was taken prisoner. He was held as a prisoner of war in the rebel prison-pens at Danville, Va., Macon, Ga., and at Charleston, S. C., was placed under fire as a hostage. lfe escaped from prison at Columbia, S. C., but was recaptured in the Smoky Mountains by the detachment of the Cherokee Indians then in the rebel service. He was afterwards confined in Danville and Libby prisons until ex- changed, and although not ordered to do so, he immediately, by permission of the Secretary of War, rejoined his regiment (17th Maine), and he with one other were the only two out of some three hundred officers exchanged at the same time who participated in the closing campaign. Of the original thirty- four officers of his regiment only five served three years, and of the five only Gen. Mattocks and Col. Ed. Moore escaped without wounds.
Gen. Mattoeks was specially mentioned in orders for gallant services : at the midnight charge at Chaneellorsville, at the battles of Mine Run and Little Sailor's Creek, and Amelia Springs. At the last-named place the regiment of two hundred and twenty men led by him charged upon the rebel rifle-pits, captured two stand of colors, two pieces of artillery, about three hundred prisoners, and a heavily loaded wagon- train belonging to Lee's army.
After the elose of the war he read law with Hon. Edward Fox, now judge of the United States District Court ; entered Harvard Law School in 1866, from which he graduated in 1867, and immediately began practice in Portland, Me., where he has remained in the continuous practice of his profession. He was appointed county attorney by Governor Chamberlain, and elected for a full term, serving in 1871-73.
In 1868 he entered the State Militia as captain, and in 1879 as colonel ; he is in command of all the infantry in the State.
Aside from his law business he carries on a large farm in the town of Ballwin, where his imported thoroughbred stoek sund the fine bred stock of his own raising may be seen, second to none in the State. Ile married, June 27, 1871, Ella, daughter of Augustus Robinson, of Portland.
