June 18th, while at Morganzia, Lieut .- Col. Blanchard was mustered in as Colonel of the 162d, with rank from April 9th, the day of the battle of Pleasant Hill ; and, on the 26th,
20
Capt. J. D. Vandenburgh as Lieut .- Col., vice Blanchard, pro- moted.
July 2d, the 162d embarked on transports with the rest of the Brigade, and on the 4th of July landed and encamped at Algiers, opposite New Orleans, where it remained until ordered to embark for Virginia. July Sth, the 162d went on board the steamer C. C. Leary, and after a stormy passage of eleven days, reached Fortress Monroe, where it was ordered to report to Maj .- Gen. Butler at Bermuda Hundred. On arriv- ing there, Col. Blanchard, who was sick, obtained leave of absence for twenty days. The 162d landed and encamped, remaining some three days, when it was ordered to Deep Bottom to report to Gen. Foster. Arriving there, it crossed the James River on pontoons, and at once proceeded to dig trenches and throw up fortifications. The 162d had ont a strong picket on the New Market road, which was attacked by the enemy in force. The 162d went up about dark, under command of Lt .- Col. Vandenburgh, to strengthen it, and fell into an ambuseade at the point where the pickets had been captured. Nearly one company belonging to the right of the 162d had been captured, together with Capt. William P. Inxford, Co. G. The 162d fell back, posting the left as skirmishers, and held the ground the next day and night. On the morning of the second day, 26th, the Rebels opened on the camp with four 20- pound Parrott guns, and, having a whole division of troops, would have captured the regiment entire but for the timely arrival of Hancock's (2d) Corps, which had crossed during the night. The enemy were soon routed, losing the four pieces of artillery. The 162d lost more than one-third of its effective strength present, viz. : 16 killed and wounded, and 44 taken prisoners.
The next day, 27th, the 162d embarked for Washington, arriving there on the 20th ; and eneamped one night at Chain Bridge, when it was ordered to Monocaey, Md. Taking the cars at Washington, it reached its destination on Sunday night, July 31, and went into camp. Aug. 5th, the 162d went by cars to Harper's Ferry and eneamped on Maryland Heights.
30
The next day it crossed the Potomac and encamped at HIall- town. The day following it marched ria Charlestown, Berry- ville and Bunker Hill, to Winchester. Thence it went to Cedar Creek, 13 miles beyond, from which point, closely fol- lowed by the enemy, the Army fell back to Summit Point ; the 162d forming part of the escort of the Army train. Halt- ing one day, the Army fell back to Flowing Spring, about S miles from Harper's Ferry, where Col. Blanchard, having regained his health, rejoined the regiment. On the 21st, the 162d went to Bolivar Height-, where it threw up breastworks and remained until the 2sth, when the Army advanced to Winchester ; the Brigade remaining to escort trains to and from Charlestown. Oct. 5th, the 162d went to Martinsburgh and eneamped, it having been detailed to escort prisoners from Winchester to that place, and return with trains. Oct. 19th, the day of the Great Battle, the Brigade was in line on the lower side of Winchester to intercept stragglers from the front, and be ready to aet in any emergency that might arise. The services of the Brigade in the Valley were, perhaps, more useful than conspicuons -still they were not lightly appreciated by the commanding General. In his judgment they were important enough to entitle it to share in the glory of his campaign, and it is by his special order that the several regi- ments of the Brigade bear upon their colors the proud inserip- tion, - " Sheridan's Campaign in Shenandoah Valley, 1864."
Nov. 6th, the Brigade rejoined its Corps at Cedar Creek, which fell back to Camp Rus-ell, near Newtown, on the 9th, and remained in camp until Dee. 29th, when it moved to Camp Sheridan, Stevenson's Depot, and proceeded to build winter quarters. It was beginning to be comfortable in them when the Brigade was ordered to garrison Winchester, 5 miles distant. The 162d encamped on the high ground, half a mile South of the city. Its principal duty was to guard the roads in that section of country, although it performed much picket duty also.
April 20, 1565, Col. Blanchard was ordered to make a . reconnaissance of Snicker's Gap and Barry's Ford on the
31
Shenandoah river. 26 miles from Winchester. Leaving at 6 A. M. on the morning of the 2d, he returned on the 3d, hav- ing made a thorough survey of the country indicated. He was then ordered to join the Brigade at Camp Russell, 10 iniles from Winchester, the point at which Gen. Hancock was concentrating a force preparatory to a march down the valley, with the ultimate purpose of joining Gen. Grant before Rich- mond. The 162d reached its destination early on the morning of the 4th, to meet the news of the fall of Richmond, and to share the joy it occasioned. April 6th, it marched and encamped at Mill Creek, 2 miles from Winchester. April 8th, it left for Summit Point, on the Potomac and Winchester Railroad, and arrived there about 9 P. M. April 12th, it was ordered to guard the Railroad from Charlestown to Wood's Station, a distance of about 8 miles.
April 20th, the 162d, together with the whole of Dwight's Division, left for Washington, performing the distance by railroad, and arriving there the next day. On the 22d the encampment was on the National Race Course grounds. April 25th, the 3d Brigade changed its encampment to ground near Fort Meigs, a pleasant location in a fine field falling to the lot of the 162d. The Brigade guarded the country from Fort Meigs to the high grounds opposite Alexandria, a distance of' some S or 10 miles, by a continuous line of pickets. May 23d, the 162d participated in the Grand Review, and ocen- pied a prominent position in the line, - the right of the 9th Corps. While at Fort Meigs, the 162d was presented by the City of New York with a new stand of Colors, consisting of 2 flags and 2 guidons. These replaced the war-worn Colors of the regiment, which had been forwarded to the Bureau of Military Record, at Albany, March 4, 1865. After the 162d was mustered out, these Colors were also deposited in the Bureau of Military Record, Nov. 27, 1863.
June 27th, the Bd Brigade embarked on the steamship Northern Light for Savannah. Ga., where it arrived July Ist, after a pleasant voyage, and encamped on grounds just out" . side of the city defenses.
32
Early on the morning of July 24th, the 3d Brigade, Col. Blanchard commanding, commenced its march for Hawkins- ville, Ga., a distance of 200 miles, the route being mainly through pine forests. At 9 A. M. of Aug. 5, the Brigade reached Hawkinsville. The 162d was detailed for provost duty in the town. It went into camp on the lawn in front of the Court House. The regiment, at this time, was under command of Lient .- Col. Vandenburgh, Col. Blanchard, accord- ing to orders, having assumed command of the Third Sub- District of Oemulgee, Ga. (See General Orders, No. 4, 1st Dis. Dep't Ga., Dist. of Savannah.) While in this command, Col. Blanchard visited Andersonville, and discovered the grave of Private A. Amigh, Co. K, 162d, but failed to identify those of two members of Co. II, of the same regi- ment, reported as having perished in the prison at that place.
Sept. 24th, orders were received, directing the 162d to pro- ceed, by railroad, to Savannah, in order to be mustered out of service.
Sept. 26th, the 162d left Hawkinsville for Savannah by the Macon R. R., via Augusta.
Oct. 2d, it arrived at Savannah and encamped on grounds near the City Jail, and on the 12th was mustered out of service.
Oct. 14th, it sailed for New York, on the Steamer Chase, and, arriving on the 18th, was ordered to Hart's Island, N. Y. Harbor.
Oct. 21st, the 162d was paid off, by Paymaster Phelps, and its property turned over to the United States.
On the Rolls, 473. Present, 353.
The service of the 162d was faithful and efficient enough to entitle it to share in the seenre fame of the Nineteenth Army Corps, and to justify the expressions of appreciation the Regiment received in high quarters ; and the honors con- ferred upon its officers, earned by valorous conduct in more than one Military Department, were worthily bestowed.
The General Government. in recognition of the services of Col. Blanchard, made him Brevet Brigadier-General of U. S. Vols., Sept. 28th, 1865, with rank from March 13th, 1865.
33
The Governor of New York breveted Major John B. Bab- cock Lient .- Colonel, for gallantry at Port Hudson, in the Red River campaign, and the Shenandoah Valley.
The Governor bestowed the Brevet rank of Major upon Capt. Eugene S. Eunson, for gallantry at Pleasant Hill, La., and for general meritorious services; and the Brevet rank of Major upon Capt. John G. Leefe also, for gallantry in Sheri- dan's Shenandoah Valley campaign, and for general meritori- ous services.

APPENDIX.
HEAD-QUARTERS 162D N. Y. VOLS., 1 NEAR WINCHESTER, VA., March 14, 1865. 5
COLONEL: In accordance with the provisions of the Act, estab- lishing a Bureau of Military Statistics in New York, I have the honor to transmit herewith the Regimental Colors of my com- mand. At the organization of the Regiment, Oct. 18, 1862, these Colors were presented to it by the State of New York. They are two in number; and consist of the National Flag, and a blue silk flag, on the center of which is painted the National Coat of Arms.
The Regiment was raised in the City of New York and formed one of the Metropolitan Brigade.
The original Field Officers were Col. Lewis Benedict, Lt .- Col. J. W. Blanchard and Major James H. Bogart. In November, 1862, it was sent to New Orleans on Gen. Banks' Expedition ; the troops of which were afterward organized as the 19th Army Corps.
The Colors were carried through the siege of Port Hudson, in the summer of 1863, and it was there that a charge of grape tore the Union out of the National flag. They were borne in the fol- lowing engagements: At Fort Bisland, on the 13th and 14th of April, 1863; in the assault on Port Hudson, on the 27th May, 1863, where the Regiment lost 2 officers and 33 men, killed and wounded; in the second assault, on the 14th June, where its loss was 2 officers and 60 men ; and, at Springfield Landing, on the 2d July of the same year. In the Red River Campaign, of last Spring, the Colors were present at the fight of Sabine Cross Roads, April 8th; at Pleasant Hill, April 9th, where Col. Benedict, commanding Brigade, was killed, and the Regiment lost 7 officers and 114 men, killed, wounded and missing; and,
36
at Cane River Crossing, April 23d, where 2 officers and 35 men were killed or wounded.
Four times have these Colors been shot down in battle, two of their Bearers killed and two wounded. But, they have never been out of the Regiment's possession, and are now returned to the original donor.
I have the honor to be, Colonel, with great respect,
Your Obdt. Serv't, J. W. BLANCHARD, Com'ng 162d, N. Y. V. I.
Col. LOCKWOOD L. DOTY, Albany, N. Y. .
NOTE. The State Colors of 174th N. Y., consolidated with 162d, Feb. 17, 1864, were thereafter carried with the Colors of the 162d.
