" Soon the pontoous had ferried over several regiments, who formed in line of battle at once on the top of the hill, but found no enemy. Soon after the troops began to cross the corps below began to open a lively eannonade, doubtless with a view of attracting the enemy's attention away from us. Detached as this corps is, so far away from the others, I am noable to learn whether they have yet crossed over any forces or not; but if I am not greatly mistaken, the Twenty-third Corps has erossed the first regiment of the army. True, they did not encounter strong forces in their front ; but none could tell what they would find, and the gallantry of the men who rushed forward to man the pon- toons in the face of these uncertainties, and those who ran up the hill with no others yet over to support them, when they might be met by a deadly fire from behind some screen, is worthy of all praise. When men are compelled thus to go upon suspense, and charge, it may be, upon lurk- ing volleys which shall leave no one of them to return, it requires a stouter heart than to dash forward amid the roar and rattle of arms, to meet a foe whom they can see. I have not known a more dramatic, brilliant, and at the same time bloodless episode in the whole campaign than was en- acted to-day by the corps of Gen. Schofield." Among the troops to whose bravery at the passage of the Chattahoochee the above tribute was paid, one of the most prominent regiments was the Twenty-third Michigan, whose men vol- unteered to form a part of the forlorn hope which crossed on the pontoon-boats. Unexpectedly, the regiment suffered no loss in killed, but its record of gallantry at the Chatta- hoochee was as bright as at Campbell's Station or Resaca.
Arriving in front of Atlanta, the Twenty-third took part in the operations of the army which resulted in the capture of that stronghold. It was afterwards posted at Decatur, Ga., from which place, on the 3d of October, it moved north- ward in pursuit of the Confederate Gen. Hood, who was then marching his army towards Nashville. While engaged in this service, the regiment marched with its division (it was still in the Second Brigade, Second Division of the Twenty-third Army Corps) to Marietta, New Hope Church, Big Shanty, Allatoona, Cartersville, Kingston, and Rome, Ga., and from the last-named place, through Snake Creek Gap, to Summerville, Tenn., and Cedar Bluff, Ala., and thence back to Rome, where it remained a short time, and early in November again moved through Alabama into Tennessee, and was stationed at Johnsouville, employed in

garrison duty and the construction of defensive works until the 24th. It was then moved by rail to Columbia, Tenn., where it arrived on the 25th, while a heavy skirmish, amounting to almost a general engagement, was in progress near that place between the armies of Thomas and Hood. A part of the regiment was immediately advanced upon the skirmish line, while the remainder of the command went into position. At midnight it was withdrawn and ordered to the line of Duck River, where it lay on the south side of the stream, throwing up defenses and fre- quently skirmishing with the enemy; being constantly on duty day and night until near daylight in the morning of the 28th, when it retired across the river to the north bank, where it held position, and keeping up an almost eon- tinual skirmish with Hood's advance till noon of the 29th, when it fell back with the army to the vicinity of Spring Ilill, Tenn., about ten miles north of Duck River. Here, at abont dark on the same day, the enemy was found in force occupying the road. An attack was made, and after a short fight the Confederates were driven from their posi- tion. The Union forces then resumed the march to Franklin, Tenn., and arriving there in the morning of the 30th, immediately took position and commeneed throwing up temporary «lefenses, which was continued through the day. At about sunset the forces of Hood, moving in four strong lines, assaulted the position most furiously, but were repulsed with heavy loss. The attack was several times renewed, but without success to the enemy. Finally at about ten o'clock P.M. the Confederate forces, concentrating all their energies in a supreme effort to carry the defenses, made their final, and by far their most desperate assault, charging up to and over the parapet, and planting their colors ou the work in front of the Twenty-third Michigan. But beyond that limit they did not go, for Col. Spaulding's men gave them the bayonet, in a counter-charge which is deseribed as one of the most brilliant and effective in the entire history of the war. It was a short, but very desper- ate hand-to-hand struggle, in which the Michigan men gallantly held their position against the furious assault of the Confederates.
Immediately after this successful repulse of the enemy, the Twenty-third with the other Union troops withdrew, and crossing the river, moved on the road to Nashville, ar- riving there at two P.M. on December Ist, having marched fifty miles in forty-eight hours, five hours of which time had been passed under fire in the desperate battle of Franklin. During the week which had elapsed sinee the arrival of the Twenty-third at Columbia the men had suf- fered severely from searcity of provisions, and in the last two days of the movement had subsisted on less than quar- ter rations.
The regiment lay within the works of Nashville for two weeks, and then in the morning of the 15th of December it moved out with its division and the other commands under Gen. Thomas to attack the Confederate army, which ' had in the mean time concentrated in their front just south of the city. In the great battles of the 15th and 16th of December, which resulted in the defeat and complete rout of Hood's army, the Twenty-third took an active part, and was eonspicuous for steadiness and bravery during those
two days of earnage. On the first day of the battle, " Col. Spaulding, with his regiment, then in the brigade of Col. Moore, made a most daring and dashing charge on a posi- tion occupied by a portion of the enemy's infantry, posted behind a heavy stone wall on the erest of a hill, which it carried in most brilliant style, capturing more prisoners than there were men in the line of the regiment. The flag-staff was shot in two and the color-sergeant severely wounded, but before the colors fell to the ground they were grasped by the corporal of the color-guard and gallantly carried to the front. On the 17th the pursuit of the enemy com- menced, and during the first three days of the march the rain fell in torrents, the mud being fully six inches deep, which, with the swollen stream, rendered progress ex- tremely difficult and tedious. The pursuit was continued until Columbia was reached, where a halt was made and the movement ended."*
Soon after this utter rout of Hood's army and its expul- sion from Tennessee, the Twenty-third Army Corps received orders to move east to the city of Washington, and on the 1st of January, 1865, the Twenty-third Michigan, as part of this corps, left Columbia and took up its line of march for Clifton, two hundred and fifty miles distant, on the Tennessee River, at which point it arrived on the Sth of the month. On the 16th it embarked at that place, and proceeded thence by steamer, on the Tennessee and Ohio Rivers, to Cincinnati, where it arrived on the 22d, and im- mediately left there by railroad for Washington. Reaching that eity on the 29th, it went into camp at " Camp Stone- man," D. C., and remained there until the 9th of Feb- ruary. At that time the regiment moved to Alexandria, Va., where, on the 11th, it embarked with its corps ou transports bound for Smithville, N. C., at the mouth of the Cape Fear River, and reached that point of destination after a passage of four days. On the 17th it moved with the other forces against Fort Anderson, taking position be- fore it on the 18th, and commencing the work of intrench- ing, under a furious artillery and musketry fire. Upon the capitulation of the fort and its ocenpation by the Union forces on the morning of the 19th of February, the Twen- ty-third Michigan Infantry was the first regiment to enter the captured work. The regiment was again engaged at Town Creek, N. C., on the 20th, taking three hundred and fifty prisoners and two pieces of artillery. In the morning of the 23d the Union force erossed the Cape Fear River to its north bank, and found that the city of Wihnington had been evacuated by the enemy during the previous night. The corps moved up the coast on the 6th of March, and reached Kinston, N. C., just at the elose of the severe en- gagement at that place. In this movement the Twenty- third marched one hundred and twenty-five miles in six days, and during the last twenty-four hours moved con- stantly without halting, except long enough to draw rations and to issue thirty additional rounds of ammunition to the men.
The corps left Kinston March 20th, and on the 22d reached and occupied Goldsboro', where, on the following day, the advance of Gen. Sherman's army made its appear-

anee, coming in from the south. The Twenty-third Regi- ment was then ordered baek ten miles to Mosely Hall, to guard the railroad at that point while the army was receiv- ing its supplies. On the 9th of April the regiment moved with the army on the road to Raleigh, which was occupied by the advance on the 13th, the Twenty-third Michigan entering the city on the following day and receiving the welcome news of Lec's surrender at Appomattox. The regiment remained at Raleigh until after the war had been closed by the surrender of the Confederate army under Johnston. Its fighting days were over, but its men had yet to experience a little more of the fatigues of marching. On the 3d of May it moved on the road, by way of Chapel Ilill, to Greensboro', ninety miles distant, and reached that town on the 7th. Two days later it left by rail for Salis- bury, N. C., and remained there until the 28th of June, when it was mustered out of service. All that now re- mained of military life to the men of the Twenty-third was the howeward journey to Michigan, and their final pay- ment and discharge. They were transported by railroad through Danville and Petersburg to City Point, Va., and thence by steamer to Baltimore, Md., where they again took railway transportation for the West, and arrived at Detroit July 7, 1865. On the 20th of the same month they were paid and disbanded, and cach went his way to resume the vocations of civil life.
