II. The three-year men of the 5th Regiment New York Vol- unteers are transferred to the 146th New York Volunteers; the proper officers will see the necessary papers are furnished to that effect.
By command of GENERAL SYKES,
G. RYAN, Captain, A. A. General.
The question whether the three-year members of the Fifth who were transferred to the 146th New York Volunteers did their duty and upheld the good name of the old 5th Regi- ment, the following letter received from Brevet Brigadier- General Grindlay, Colonel of the 146th New York Volun- teers, will sufficiently answer :
BOONEVILLE, N. Y., Feb. 14, 1878.
ALFRED DAVENPORT, ESQ. :
Dear Sir :- In answer to your inquiry, I would say that at the battle of Chancellorsville, some 237 enlisted men of the old 5th New York Volunteers were transferred to the 146th New York Volunteers to serve out the unexpired term of their enlistment.
I considered the " Duryee Zouaves " the best drilled and disci- plined regiment in the corps, if not in the army. They reached that great state of proficiency by having, as you well know, among their corps of instructors, such soldiers as Major-General G. K. Warren, afterward our beloved corps commander, than whom no abler or better man served in the Union army. The men transfer- red to us were worthy representatives of their regiment, and while cherishing a strong love for their old command, they became, ere

they left, as strongly attached to their new regiment. We shortly afterward adopted the "Zouave Uniform " in our brigade, and their pride in the "Zouave Brigade " equaled that for their first love. Several were promoted for gallantry in battle and soldierly conduct. Among the number I remember Peter Froeligh to be First Lieutenant, afterward killed at the Wilderness ; Hugh Chal- mers to be Second Lieutenant, afterward killed at Cold Harbor, both gallant soldiers. The witty and adventurous Lawrence Fitz- patrick to Captain. He served through the war, was captured and escaped several times, always spoke proudly of the Old Fifth, and ever did his duty. Henry G. Taylor and John McGeehan to be First Lieutenants, and several others whom I do not now recall. They were all good soldiers, and by their bearing and conduct set an example to their new comrades worthy of all emulation. The members of the 5th New York Volunteers have every reason to be proud of their gallant regiment.
I am, my dear sir, Very respectfully yours, JAS. G. GRINDLAY, Brevet Brig .- Gen. and Colonel 146th N. Y. Vol. Infantry.
Now came a sad as well as a joyous scene. The three years' men felt that they were parting with their old com- rades with whom they had lived and fought, to be thrown into companionship with comparative strangers, and had the ground been about to open and swallow them, they could scarcely have felt more deeply. The two years' men, on the other hand, were about to turn their faces homeward, many of them for the first time since they had enlisted, two years before, and their feelings were exuberant and beyond ex- pression. They were elated to the highest degree, but nev- ertheless the parting was a sad one even to them. The tic becomes very strong between those who have suffered hard- ships and dangers in common, and as the men wrung each other by the hand, many a tear was brushed away ; hastily written notes were taken in charge, and hurried messages were delivered to carry to mothers, fathers, brothers, and
390

sisters at home, and to the loving fair one waiting the return of her soldier pride. But the scene was soon over, and com- rades grasped each other's hands for the last time ; alas ! in many instances forever.
Among the men who remained, there were many who sub- sequently fell in the battle of Gettysburg, or in Grant's great campaign against Richmond. The departing company marched toward United States Ford, and after crossing the pontoon bridge, the remainder of the two years' men who were guarding the wagons were taken up, and all marched briskly for Stoneman's Switch. The full regiment numbered about two hundred men. This large increase in numbers was caused by a number of convalescents and detailed men, who had rejoined the command during the previous few months. After marching nearly all night, the atmosphere being intolerably close, the men were halted and went into bivouac ; the firing on Fredericksburg Heights was plainly distinguishable, and the men were harassed with doubts as to whether they would not be again ordered to the front. A little before daylight the regiment was suddenly aroused and fell into line, a report being brought that a body of the enemy's cavalry were in the vicinity. We again marched, and halted near a clear stream of water, when the men immediately strip. ped and gave themselves a good scouring, and put on clean under-clothing, which they had been saving for their home trip, with as much care as does the bride her wedding trousseau. After their bath, the men felt much refreshed.
On Tuesday, the 5th, we entered the freight cars at Stoneman's Switch, and soon arrived at Aquia Creek. The 2Ist New York Volunteers, lying there guarding the army stores, entertained the men with great hospitality, and gave them coffee, fresh bread, and bacon, which were heartily rel- ished. The regiment was lying on the side of a steep hill in the afternoon, chatting and smoking their pipes, when a very violent thunder-storm, which had been threatening for

some time, burst upon them, accompanied with hail, some of which was of the size of a walnut. The men stood it for some time, some of them jokingly calling it Bull Run No. 3, when they were ordered to take refuge in some barracks near the landing, but their clothing had been completely soaked through. In the barracks they were much crowded for want of room, but did well enough under the circumstances. The rain continued all night, accompanied with a cold north- east wind.
The morning of Wednesday, the 6th, broke cold and rainy. We embarked on board the transport John A. Warner, and sailed for Washington, where we arrived in the afternoon, and were marched up Pennsylvania Avenue, past the Capitol, through a heavy rain, and halted at the Soldiers' Retreat, near the depot. Supper was served, and the men found ways and means to fill their canteens with something stronger than coffee, notwithstanding the guard that was placed on the doorways. Finally, we were ordered into some iron baggage cars, without seats of any kind, penned up in them like any other live stock, but all was joy and hilarity from one end of the train to the other. The men sung and shonted, but among their songs it was noticed that they did not sing anything about "hanging Jeff Davis on a sour apple tree." That was omitted. They had been trying to catch him for two years, and had seen a number of sour apple trees suitable for the purpose, but never had caught sight of " Jeff."" The regiment arrived in Baltimore about midnight, and while marching through the city to the Phila- delphia depot, awoke the good citizens with their songs. . 1 large number of the convalescent wounded belonging to the regiment were taken from the hospitals; and finally all were put into baggage cars, with planks for seats, and the train started for Philadelphia. It seemed to the men that never did a train move so slow. Jack Whigam, who could run a locomotive, went forward to take charge himself, but

of course the engineers had their time-tables, and would not deviate from them. We arrived in Philadelphia about II A.M. on the the 7th, and had a plain, but to us luxurious lunch at the hospitable retreat conducted by the patriotic ladies of that city, and known as the Cooper Retreat. After spending an hour very agreeably among the visitors who came to see us, and becoming more impressed with the at- mosphere of home, we crossed the ferry to Camden and took the cars for Jersey City, where we arrived in the after- noon, and were dismissed to report in the morning.
Friday, the 8th, we assembled at Jersey City and crossed the river, landing at Cortland Street, and made a grand parade through the city. The regiment was the first to come home with their arms, in accordance with the new order of the War Department.
It was noticed that some men who had done little or no fighting or service in the regiment were very anxious to show themselves in the front rank; but perhaps they had lost their cunning, and were not aware that their bright uni- forms and store-made shoes betrayed them. They were like the "Jackass in the Lion's skin." This comparison, of course, is not intended to apply to any member of the regi- ment who had been compelled to be absent from duty on account of sickness or wounds.
The men who had lived through the hard work of the camp and field, who had pressed to the front in the hour of danger, cared little where they were placed in the proces- sion ; they were worn and scarred ; they carried with them the consciousness that would remain with them as they jour- neyed through life-that they had earned the honorable dis- charge to which they had looked forward as their star of hope, through many an hour of hardship or of the severest duty and danger. Among the number forming the regiment that marched up Broadway, only about eighty had served the whole term for which they had enlisted, and had not

been absent at any time by furlough, or from wounds or sickness.
The following report of the reception, published by the New York Daily Times, gives a faithful narrative of this event, not less interesting to the men who had done the hard work of the camp and field so long, than to those who so kindly tendered the expression of their regard and approba- tion :
" THE RETURN OF THE GALLANT FIFTH.
" Reception of the Regiment-Triumphal March up Broadway -Banquet at the City Assembly Rooms.
"The gallant Fifth Regiment met yesterday with such a reception as they had a right to look for. The regiment has been an especial favorite here ever since its organization. Its achievements have been regarded with especial interest and pride by the people of this city and State, and, as might have been expected, its return was signalized by a demonstration, the like of which has been accorded to no other regiment. . .
" The streets through which the Fifth had to pass were thronged by enthusiastic crowds all through the afternoon, and a fleeting ray of the spontaneous excitement, which anything connected with the war was wont to produce, once more shone forth in more than pristine brilliancy.
" About half-past three o'clock the Fifth left Jersey City on board the ferry-boat New Jersey, landing on the New York side within five minutes. Marching thence into Broadway, they were received by the Tenth Volunteers (Bendix's Zouaves), who had generously turned out for the occasion, and by the Thirty- seventh and the Seventy-first Regiments of State National Guard. As the war-worn and battle-stained heroes filed along the line they were vociferously cheered. Never was a more hearty meed of admiration and respect paid to brave, devoted soldiers since first the world learned to worship military glory. Presently the line of procession was formed. In the front came the Tenth, led by their intrepid Colonel (Acting Brigadier-General Bendix) ; following came the Thirty-seventh and the Seventy-first, and then the " red-legged devils," marching in close Zouave order,

and giving those who saw them a better idea of the effect of two years' service than could ever be learned from the perusal of the most glowing newspaper correspondence that ever was writ- ten. The men were brown and rugged; their colors were weather-stained and bullet-torn ; their uniforms were tattered and stained with Virginia mud and the smoke of hard-fought conflicts. They looked magnificent. Officers and men were the speaking types of rough, hard service. They bore no holiday aspect, but seemed what they were-the veterans of this terrible war, who had toiled and suffered in the cause of their beloved country. They had won the reward prepared for them.
" For once a Republic was not ungrateful. To descend to details. The order of the line was thus arranged :
" The 10th New York Volunteers, Lieutenant-Colonel W. Marshall, 250 men.
" The 37th New York S. M., Colonel Roome, 300 men.
" The 71st New York S. M., Colonel Trafford, 275 men.
" Hook and Ladder Company, No. 9, and Hose Company, No. 61.
"Interspersed were the Seventh Regiment Band, Helmsmuller's Band, Dodworth's Band, and several others of musical popu- larity. Bringing up the rear were the ex-members of the Fifth who had been discharged, wounded and diseased, but who were now recovered, and, in carriages, the wounded who were too much hurt to walk. It was a prodigiously effective procession, and drew forth acclamations of applause as genuine as ever greeted those who deserve well of their compatriots for sacrifices made in a common cause and for the common weal.
" The procession marched in review through the Park before the Mayor and Common Council, and then up-town to Union Square and round by Fifth Avenue, down-town again to the City Assembly Rooms. There, at eight o'clock, the men and officers of the Fifth, the officers of the escort, and many invited guests Sat down to a plentiful, if not a very elaborate, banquet.
" Toasts were given and speeches made, and cheers were Dentiful and vociferous. General Duryse, Hiram Walbridge, .!!! Colonel Winslow were the principal speakers. The occasion was one long to be remembered by all who participated in the celebration."
395
In the Battle of Life.
But there is a time to rejoice, and a time to mourn ; and it is the lot of many to mourn while others have their re- joicings. Among the thousands who greeted the Fifth on their march up Broadway, what a multitude must there have been scattered through the gay and thoughtless throng, who scanned with silent grief the faces in the ranks, as if they expected to see a husband, son, or brother-a dear friend or relative, who they already knew could not be there ; and as they gazed with tearful eyes, endeavored to picture the lost one as he appeared when he so proudly waved a last farewell, two years before, when he marched away to battle to save his country. All honor to our dead ! Let their names be engraved on the tablet of our memories, and may those to whom they were near by the ties of relationship, find consolation in the thought that their sufferings and death were a part of that inestimable price which was paid to secure the national life for the present and for the future.
On Monday, the 11th, the members of the regiment pa- raded in uniform and with arms, to receive the 4th Regiment, New York Volunteers, Scott Life Guard, and were glad to welcome their comrades home again. They were reviewed by General WINFIELD SCOTT, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
Thursday, May 14, 1863, the men were mustered out by companies and paid off, all who were entitled receiving an honorable discharge, which they had endured so much to obtain. Many of the officers and men again re-enlisted in the Fifth Veterans, under their last Colonel, Winslow, and in other organizations, and rose to various grades as officers. Many of them were either killed or wounded in their sub- sequent service. Others went into the regular army as officers or privates, where those who survive still remain. The rest returned to their various callings in civil life, some to the profession of the law ; some are in the ministry, others are engaged in mercantile and industrial pursuits, or hokl positions of honor and trust, while some others are afloat

under the flag on the trackless sea. Several members of the regiment have represented their constituents in the State Legislature. One is United States Consul to La Rochelle, France, another the second in command of the Franklin Search Expedition. Some have made fortunes, others have risen to distinction in their professions, and there are many others who still suffer from their wounds, or move about under the disadvantage that a loss of limb occasions. Some are shattered by diseases engendered in the swamps of the Chickahominy. Some are "floating on a waveless tide." But among them all, be they rich or poor, be they humble or mighty, there are none but are proud to say that they served in the 5th New York Zouaves.
/ Whatever may be the fortune of each in the vicissitudes of their life-battle, may the final struggle with "the last enemy" bring to them the crown of the conqueror in the blissful fields of immortality.
