" Halt ! Who comes there ?"
" Corporal of the guard, with relief."
" Advance, corporal, and give the countersign."
The corporal approached, with " arms aport," to within a few feet of the supposed sentinel, who suddenly exclaimed :
" Ready !"
Fifteen rifles clicked behind him.
"Surrender !"
The corporal did so without a word.
" Call in your guard."
" Come in, boys, it's no use," said he; and they quite agreed with him, for it was not so dark but that they could see that fifteen rifles were aimed at their luckless breasts.
The prisoners were then sent into camp, and a strong guard was established on that side of the ravine. The Confed- erates could not depress the guns of the citadel so as to injure the Unionists in their new position, and they could not afford to make a sally, as that would have brought on a general engagement, in which the advantage of both numbers and position would have been with the Federals. So Col. Bailey and his negroes crossed the ravine and con- tinued their work, and by the 8th of July they had bur- rowed directly under the " citadel," and placed a mine there ready to be exploded at a moment's notice. But ere the firing of the mine was ordered there came the news of the capture of Vicksburg by Gen. Grant, and on the 9th of July, 1863, knowing further resistance to be useless, Gen. Gardner surrendered Port Hudson and its half-starved gar- rison to Gen. Banks.
This surrender gave a large amount of heavy artillery to the Unionists, which it was desirable to use, but which there were no artillerists to man. Gen. Banks accord- ingly issued an order the next day after the surrender (July 10, 1863) converting the 6th Michigan Infantry into a regiment of heavy artillery. It retained its old number, but was thenceforth designated as the 6th Michi- gan Heavy Artillery. The men were organized as artillery, and trained to the use of the heavy guns, and received the pay, clothing, and equipments of artillerists. They also retained their muskets and bayonets, and frequently left their cannon and made long marches as infantry. The order in question was approved by the Secretary of War on the 30th of July, 1863.
The regiment remained on garrison duty at Port Hudson until the early part of March, 1864, when a sufficient num- ber re-enlisted to make it a veteran regiment. After the men had spent their furlough in Michigan, where their number was increased by over six hundred recruits, they returned South, reaching Port Hudson on the 11th of May, 1864. On the 6th of June the regiment proceeded to Morganza Bend, where it served as infantry until the 24th of the same month. It then moved to Vicksburg, and served with the engineer brigade about a month. It then went up White River to St. Charles, Ark., one de- tachment being fired on by a rebel battery on the way, and several men being killed and wounded.
After a short stay at St. Charles, the 6th returned to Morganza Bend, where the men served for a short time as engineers, but soon returned to duty as heavy artillery. In a short time the regiment proceeded by way of New Or- leans to Mobile, and was present at the bombardment and capture of Forts Morgan and Gaines, at the time of Ad- miral Farragut's brilliant exploit in forcing his way into Mobile Bay.
On the 1st of October half of the regiment, including Companies A and B, was stationed in Fort Gaines, and the other half in Fort Morgan. Though the 6th had gone through but little hard fighting after it was transformed into artillery, it had suffered very severely from disease, one hundred and fifty-five men having died during the year closing on the 30th of November, 1864.
In the latter part of December, Company B and four other companies were attached to Gen. Gordon Granger's

division, which was operating against Mobile from the di- rection of Pensacola. They returned to Forts Morgan and Gaines in the latter part of January.
On the 31st of March, Companies A and K were each furnished with a battery of ten-inch mortars, and ordered to operate against Spanish Fort and Fort McDermott, in the immediate vicinity of Mobile.
Mortars look a good deal like cauldron kettles, with very thick sides and small interiors. They are fixed at an eleva- tion which is not changed, and the shell is thrown to a greater or less distance by varying the charge of powder. Lieut. Beardsley, then commanding Co. K, was very anxious to know the exact distance from his battery to Fort McDermott. So, the night before he was to open fire, he paced the distance to a high stub of a tree, only a little way from the fort. The next morning he estimated the distance from the stub to the fort, added it to the distance ascer- tained by pacing, and was ready for accurate work. Just before the time for opening fire, Maj .- Gen. Granger rode up.
" Lieut. Beardsley," said he, " how far do you think it is to that fort ?"
" Four hundred and eighty-five yards," promptly replied the lieutenant.
The general looked a little surprised at his minuteness, and inquired,-
" Hadn't you better call it five hundred yards, and be done with it ?"
" No, four hundred and eighty-five," persisted Beards- ley.
"Oh, very well," said the general; " how much powder and fuse have you used ?"
The lieutenant told him.
" Well, that's right for four hundred and eighty-five yards,-fire away !"
The mortar was fired, and the shell was seen to burst on the parapet of the fort. A few grains more of powder were used, and the following shells all landed in the fort with the most demoralizing effect. The general warmly congratulated the lieutenant on his talent for guessing dis- tances, and rode off to another part of the field.
After Fort McDermott and Spanish Fort were captured, Companies A and K manned the immense one-hundred- pound Parrots and other heavy guns of those fortresses, and turned them against the other rebel works, which they bat- tered till all were reduced and Mobile surrendered. These companies remained on duty at Spanish Fort until the 20th of April, when they returned to Fort Morgan. Company B was on picket duty at " Navy Cove" until about the 9th of July, 1864, when it rejoined the regiment, which then proceeded to New Orleans. It was newly equipped and ex- pected to go to Texas, but the orders to that effect were countermanded, and on the 20th of August, 1865, it was mustered out of service at New Orleans. On the 23d it started up the Mississippi for home, and on the 5th of September it was paid off and disbanded at Jackson, Mich.
· The 6th Infantry lost 542 men by death (disease and battle), this being the largest loss sustained by any Michigan regiment during the war.
