ported to Washington, whence they marched to Harper's Ferry, Va.

During the latter part of August and early in Septem- ber they participated in the numerous movements of the Army of the Shenandoah. In September their brigade was detached from its division, and so continued till October 26th. Although in this interval the regiment was engaged in ar- dnous and responsible duties, it failed to share the glory of Gen. Sheridan's battles and vietories in September and October. On the 26th of October they rejoined their di- vision at Cedar Creek, Va., thence, on the 9th of Novem- ber, moved to a position between Kearnstown and Newton, and on the 30th of December went into eamp at Stevenson's Depot, four miles north of Winehester.

Soon after the 1st of January, 1865, they moved and occupied Winchester, Va., where, on the 8th of January, they were joined by three companies formed of the re-en- listed men and the recruits of' the 13th Maine Volunteers, and which had been assigned to their regiment by special order Nov. 18, 1864. The consolidation was completed in the month of January, under the immediate orders of Gen. Sheridan, the 30th being formed in seven companies and retaining the field and staff officers without change. The men of the 13th Maine were organized into a battalion of three companies, commanded by officers of their own regi- ment. The two battalions were then united and the con- solidation effected by the muster-out of five commissioned officers of the 30th and a few non-commissioned officers of both regiments. The companies of the 13th were lettered B, H, and K in the new organization. They remained at Winchester till the 10th of April, when they proceeded towards Washington, reached that eity on the 21st, and ou the 26th eneamped in the vicinity of Fort Meigs, where they remained till the 2d of June. In the mean time they formed a part of the line of sentinels stationed around Washington until after the capture of the assassins of Presi- dent Lincoln, and subsequently did guard duty at the Washington Arsenal, where the trial of the conspirators was being held. On the 22d of May they took part in the grand review of the Army of the Potomae, and on the 2d of June were transferred from the 3d Brigade, 1st Division, 19th Corps, to the 2d Brigade, same division, with which they left on the 30th for Savannah, Ga., arriving in that city on the 7th of July. They remained on duty at Sa- vannah till the 20th of August, when the regiment was mustered out of the United States service, ou which day they left for Maine, arriving on the 24th at Portland, where the men were paid and finally discharged on the 29th.

HOME GUARD.

It was deemed necessary that the city of Portland and its commerce should be afforded some protection from the depredations of privateers, and Capt. James Staples' con- pany of Home Guards was placed in occupation of Fort Scannel, commanding the entrance to the harbor, in July, 1861. They occupied this station till the 13th of Sep- tember, 1862, when, in accordance with orders from the War Department, they were mustered out and discharged from the United States service.

During the pendency of the draft, Capt. John M. Beal's company of State Guards-a most efficient military organi- zation at Portland, well armed and equipped by the State- were by General Order No. 8, of June 27, 1863 (which received the subsequent approval of the Secretary of War), called into service upon the requisition of llon. Jacob Me- Lellan, mayor of the city, and remained in active duty at Portland and vicinity as a picket guard upon the shores adjacent to the ship channels, guarding all the approaches to the inner harbor, and partially manning the incomplete fortifications until Aug. 19, 1863, when they were mustered out of the service by General Order No. 16, of that date. Some sixteen privates and three non-commissioned officers of this company were retained in the service as a guard at the State Arsenal, and for occasional picket duty elsewhere, until the 15th of September, when they were finally dis- charged from further active duty.

During the draft of 1863, the counties of Cumberland and York constituted the First Military District, with head- quarters at Portland. C. H. Doughty, provost-marshal ; Edward S. Morris, commissioner; Theodore M. Jewett, M.D., surgeon,

THE TACONY AFFAIR.

" THE prompt and vigilant action on the part of the civil authorities in capturing the officers and crew of the rebel bark ' Tacony,' in the harbor of Portland, on the 26th of June, 1863," says the adjutant-general of the State, " forms one of the most brilliant pages in the history of the war, and will ever be remembered as a gallant and praise- worthy affair." We extract the following account of this transaction from the Adjutant-General's Report for 1863, pages 15 to 23, inclusive :

" The commander of the ' Tacony' was Lieut. C. W. Read, a commis- sioned officer of the rebel navy. For some time he had pursued his depredatiuns on the coast, when, learning that Federal cruisers were after him, and fearing recognition, he eaptured, June 24th, the fishing

schooner ' Archer,' of Southport, ninety tous, and after transferring everything to her, burned the 'Tacony.' The ' Archer' was then beaded for Portland for the purpose of cutting out the United States revenue cutter, 'Caleb Cushing,' lying in the stream, and of destroy- ing the uncompleted United States gunboats ' Pontoome' and ' Agn- watu,' moored at Franklin wharf, as well as other shipping in the harbor. While ou the way, two fishermen of Falmouth,-Albert P. Bibber and Elbridge Titcomb,-who wore hanling their trawis in a small boat ahout eight miles to the southeast of Damariscove Island, were captured by Read, whose intention was to use them as pilots, but they refused to serve, and wero shortly afterwards confined below.

" About sunset the 'Archer' came to anchor to the eastward of Pomeroy Roek, off Fish Point in Portland Harbor. At this place the rebel cruisers remained, waiting for the hour to arrive when they should carry their daring enterprise into execution. The elearness of the night, it is believed, deterred them from accomplishing the whole of their audacious purpuse. Between the hours of une and two o'clock they approached the ' Caleb Cushing' with muffled vars. She was heavily armed, provided with two months' provisions, and was under order to ernise in search of the 'Tacony'; but on aceount of the illness and death of her commander, Capt. George Clark, she was delayed until the arrival of a new commander, and was in charge of Lient. Davenport. The cutter was boarded on each side by Read and his companions, who were armed with revolvers and eutlasses. No sooner were they on deck than they quickly seized and ironed the watch. The anusual noise that occurred aroused Lieut. Davenport from his slumber, who, as he came upon deck, was seized, together with the crew, nbout twenty in number, all of whom were ironed and placed below. Having obtained possession of the entter, the anchor was weighed, being unable to ship cable, and at about three o'clock she was towed out of the harbor by placing two boats ahead,-pro- ceediog senward by the way uf Hussey's Sound, thus avoiding the forts,-followed by the ' Areher,' which sent a boat to her containing Bibber, who was placed on board. Read passed through the passage between Cow Island and Hog Island, standing out to sea by Green Islands. At ten A.M. he was about fifteen miles from the city, when the wind died away and left him beealmed.

" The seizure of the cutter was first mnde known about half-past seven o'clock, when she was discovered proceeding outward, from the Observatory on Munjoy Hill. The news circulated like wild-fire, and in a short time the city was wild with excitement. Hon. Jedediah Jewett, collector of the port, was promptly informed of the loss of the cutter, and with characteristic energy he immediately com- menced making preparations for the pursuit. The steamer ' Forest City,' Capt. Liscomb, and a smaller steamer ealled the 'Casco,' to- gether with the steam-tag ' Tiger,' were chartered by that gentleman. A detachment of thirty men from the I7th United States Infantry at Fort Preble was placed aboard the 'Forest City.' besides two rifle twelve-pounders with a sufficient quantity of ammunition. About one hundred citizen volunteers went aboard. The steamer was placed under the charge of Robert A. Bird, Esq., deputy collector of the port, assisted by Lieat. Merriman, who had arrived that morning to take command of the cutter. A detachment from the 7th Maine Vol- unteers, under Adjt. Nickerson, was placed aboard the 'Tiger.' While these preparations were going on, Mr. Jewett proceeded to charter the New York steamship ' Chesapenke,' Capt. Willetts, which he found had already been spoken for by lon. Jacob MeLellan, mayor of Portland, and .I. B. Brown, Esq., nad under the direction of the mayer, assisted by Mr. Wm. F. Leighton, naval inspector, was being put in readiness for pursuit. Bales of cotton were so disposed as to afford protection to those on her deck, as well ns to her engines, Two six-pounders from the State Arsennl were phneed forward, and put under the charge of Lieut. George Waldron, of the revenue service, and Mr. George J. Berry, I'nited States Naval Engineer, who selected as larboard gunner J. L. Gardiner, a volunteer who had seen service with Farragut on the Mississippi River, and John C. Camber, of Company G, 7th Regiment, an old man-of-war's man, to whom was given charge of the starboard gun. William Bigelow and William Turnbull, two volunteers, were also designated as assistant guuners. Col. Mason, of the 7th Regiment Maine Volunteers, with a detachment of twenty-seven men from the same regiment under Capt. Henry Warren, also went aboard, together with a number of patriotic citizens, who volunteered their services, and who were fur- nished with arms by Mayor MoLellan, and placed under the command of Mr. F. R. Harris, by order of Col. Mason. Plenty of ammunition,

together with provisions for forty-eight hours, were taken on board. William Willard and Alfred S. Leighton were directed to serve as pilots. The command of the ' Chesapeake' was given to Mr. William F. Leighton.

" In the mean time the ' Forest City' had taken her departure, leav- ing Fort Preble at about eleven o'clock. The tug ' Tiger' followed closely after. The cutter was seen heading southeast. When the . Forest City' came within range, Lieut. Read opened upon her with one round cartridge from his thirty-two-pounder amidships, but with no effect. Ile also fired six round shots at her from his twenty-four- pound howitzer forward, each of which shots fell short. No flag was shown by him. The 'Forest City' then laid to, waiting for the ' Chesapeake' to come up.

"The course of the 'Chesapeake,' after she left the wharf, was southeast ; but when the first gun was fired Mr. Leighton, after con- sultation with Col. Mason, concluded to steer for the cutter and nt- tempt to run her down. The guns were ordered to be shotted, and those on board were assigned to their positions. The fifth shet from the cutter brought a response from the ' Chesapeake.' It was pro- nouneed a beautiful line shot, aud elicited the praise of these on board, but it fell short.

" The ' Forest City' then moved slowly towards the ' Chesapeake,' when the latter slnekened her speed, and, after a brief consultation, it was decided that the 'Chesapeake' should run the cutter down, the ' Chesapeake' heing a propeller and better prepared.

" Under a full head of steam the 'Chesapeake' proceeded directly for the cutter, the air ringing with the cheers of those on huard, echoed back with patriotic fervor hy those on board the ' Forest City.' Steadily she kept on her course until within two miles of the cutter, when a boat was seen lowered from the cutter freighted with men, who were supposed to he boarders, and preparations were accordingly made to receive them. At the same time another shot came skipping over the water, which fell short. The boat, on approaching nearer, was found to contain Lieut. Davenport and the cutter's crew, who had been set adrift with their irons on. On their being taken aboard and placed below another shot came from the cutter, and the grape went shrieking through the rigging of the 'Chesapeake' with but trifling injury. The blind and window of Capt. Willett's room on the upper deck, between the fore and mainmasts, were also perforated hy two minie-halls, which, it is supposed, were fired at Mr. Leighton about this time, who afforded a prominent mark while standing on the upper deck. At this crisis the rebels abandoned the cutter, after hav- ing fired her, taking to the two boats. The ' Chesapeake' ran within half a mile of the cutter, but not deeming it prudent to approach nenrer, as it was known that the fire was directly over the magazine, she stood away, keeping, however, in that vicinity.

" Meanwhile the ' Forest City' pursued the two boat-loads of rebels, who were making for the llarpswell shore, overhauling them and taking them prisoners without any resistance. She also picked up Bibber, who had been set adrift in his boat when the cutter was off Cod Ledge.

" At two o'clock the magazine of the cutter, containing four hundred pounds of powder, exploded with a terrible concussion. The fate of the 'Caleb Cushing' heing decided, the expedition returned to the city. On the way the ' Archer,' with the remaining three of the ' Ta- cony's' crew and Titeomb, the captured fisherman, was caught by the " Forest City,' while sho was trying to escape, and taken in tow. All of the rebel prisoners, numbering twenty-three, were landed at Fort Preble, where they were placed in elose confinement.

" The brilliant achievement of the expedition was honored hy the ringing of bells and firing of cannon, and the wharves and every available point were alive with people on its arrival, who indulged in other joyous demonstrations.

" The prompt and efficient action of Collector Jewett merited tho warmest approval of Hon. S. P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury. In un autograph letter to Mr. Jewett the Secretary writes :

[coTY.] " TREASURY DEPARTMENT, July 3, 1863.

"SIR : I have received and read with great interest your detailod report of the seizure of the cutter ' Cushing,' and the measures taken hy you for her recapture.

" Your promptness and efficiency, resulting in the capture of tho piratical rebols and their vessel, and the liberation of Lient. Daven-

port and the crew of the cutter, merits and receives my entire appro- bation and earnest thanks. I request you to convey also to Col. Mason and the volunteers under his command, to the commander of Fort Preble, and to the officers of the steamers employed, my thanks for the service so promptly rendered at your request.

"I am very respectfully, "S. P. CHASE, " Secretary of the Treasury.

" JEDEDIAH JEWETT,

" Collector, &c., Portland, Me."

"At a meeting of the city government of Portland, July 6th, a resolution passed both branches, tendering the thanks of the City Council to William F. Leighton, United States Navy ; George J. Berry, United States Navy : Col. M. E. Mason, of the army, and bis command; Capt. Willetts, of the steamer 'Chesapeake'; Capt. Lis- comb, of the steamer ' Forest City,' and to all others engaged in the enterprise, for their most valuable services in the successful attack 00 the pirates who seized the cutter ' Caleh Cushing,' in which attack the pirates not only lost their prize, but were themselves captured with the vessel to which they had transferred their mest necessary weapons of offense, with which they intended to pursue their nefarious depre- dations upvo our commerce.

" The following is a list, as far as I have been able to obtain, of those citizens who volunteered their services on the 'Chesapeake' : John Green, F. B. Furlong, S. S. Murray, II. C. Wood, Edward Graffam, C. K. Babb, N. J. Miller, Jr., O. M. Marratt, J. W. Braek- ett, S. W. Prince, William Leavitt, M. McBride, W. H. McAllister, E. Efner, Charles Gordon, Il. E. Ilam, F. C. Emery, D. M. Patch, F. Robinson, George Newell, J. S. White, T. C. Lewis, Henry Foy, C. Marwick, W. E. S. Whitman (reporter Daily Evening Courier), W. II. Fessenden, F. V. Carney, J. M. Gould, Howard Gould, Clarence Ah- bott, E. O. Haile (reporter Daily Argus), Henry Fox, J. G. Lewis, C. S. Akers, Ed. Hall, J. S. Winslow, Frederick Ilsley, James Doughty, F. R. Harris, Charles Knapp, J. L. Gardiner, William Bigelow, Wil- liam Turnbull, J. C. Camber, II. B. Brown, Rev. J. W. Lovering.

" I have been unable to obtain a list of these on the ' Forest City.'

" The following is a list of the entter's men captured by the rebels : Lieut. Davenport, George R. Plummer, Byron S. Blish, Robert P. Davis, Samuel A. Prince, John Avilline, Peter Warren, Benjamin Ashhy, John Matson, George MeCarty, George H. Rand, Edward Mahomey, Edward J. W. Morris, Charles Wilson, Henry Finnegan, Dickson Wescott, John Hayes, John Collins, Thomas Ilefran, Alex- ander Ilayden, James Bush.

" On reaching the 'Archer,' the twelve-pounder brass howitzer, which was on board the ' Tacony,' was found, together with arms and ammunition ; also the burgee of the 'Tacony,' with the name upon it, and other flags belonging to that vessel ; also the chronometer, and a tin ense containing vessels' papers, charts, log-book, and private jour- nais, giving operations of the 'Tacony.' Two barrels of beef were also found.

" When Lient. Read was taken, he delivered to Capt. Liscomb, of the ' Forest City,' his private carpet-bag containing papers, registers, etc., of the various vessels he had captured, inclosed in a tin case. Over $300,000 worth of bonds given by the various vessels be had captured were recovered."#

In a letter written by Lieut. Read, while at Fort Preble, to Lieut. Babson, confined in Fort Lafayette, he says,-

" It was my intention when I came to Portland to cut out a sen- going steamer, but strange to say, at the decisive moment, Mr. Brown (whom you will remember in connection with the breaking down of the 'Arkansas' engine) declared himself incompetent to work the en- gines of the steamer unless he had another engineer to co-operate with him. All my plans were thus crushed, and I was compelled to take the entter out as a dernier ressort. If there had been a breeze we would have been far out at sea before daylight, having committed considerable destruction in the harbor of l'ortland."
