The original order of Gen. Grant was not appa- rently changed or its execution delayed by the Con- federate attempt upon Fort Stedman. On the 29th, 30th, and 31st occurred the grand advance which ended with the victorious battle of Five Forks, on the 1st of April, when Sheridan held the place with five thousand prisoners, and the entire right wing of Lee's army was fleeing westward,-in the language of Pollard, -" routed, demoralized, and past control." In this decisive action the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth was not engaged, but it had borne an important part in the three days' operations, holding perilous positions, and at one point, in a skirmish of some magnitude, silenced a Confederate battery:

That same night, while the defeat at Five Forks was carrying consternation through all the Confed- erate lines, Gen. Grant ordered the bombardment of

HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY, NEW YORK.

Petersburg by all the available artillery in the grand circle of forts surrounding the doomed city.

At a quarter of twelve that night the One Hundred and Twenty fourth was ordered by Gen. De Trobriand to advance up to within two hundred and fifty feet of the enemy's works in their immediate front, open a vigorous fire, and maintain their position, if possible, for half an hour, but not to assault their lines. This strange order (as it then appeared), and one full of peril, was promptly executed. A sharp midnight struggle ensued, so fierce that the commanding gen- eral sent the Seventy-third New York and the One Hundred and Tenth Pennsylvania to the assistance of the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth. ' An aide soon after recalled the force. The One Hundred and Twenty-fourth had several men wounded, and Capt. Edward J. Cormick, of Company F, was killed.' A few hours later the officers of the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth learned that this midnight engagement was of great importance to the general movement, and that its object had been fully accomplished. Gen. Grant in- tended a general assault on the lines to the south and east of Petersburg for the next morning. Gen. Lee, supposing Grant's intention was to throw his forces next against the right wing, had withdrawn his army considerably from Petersburg, and night attacks like that made by the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth were to engage the enemy's attention and prevent the return of his forces to the defense of Petersburg. This strategy was successful.

Early on the morning of April 2d the grand assault upon Petersburg was made as Grant intended. Parke on the Union right carried the enemy's outer lines, capturing several guns and a few prisoners, but found the inner lines so strong that he despaired of carrying them without additional forces, and therefore deserted. Wright with his own corps, the Sixth, supported by two divisions of Ord's, made an impetnous advance, losing heavily but carrying everything in his front, capturing a large number of guns and taking several thousand prisoners. Ord's remaining division forced the enemy's line at Hatcher's Run, and with the main body under Wright swung around and pressed for- ward from the west towards Petersburg. At length, about nine o'clock A.M., Humphrey advanced with the divisions of Mott and Hays, carried a redouht, scaled the enemy's works in his front, and closing in on the left of Ord's men, pushed on with the vic- torious lines towards the fated city. In this advance a portion of De Trobriand's brigade, led by the One Ilundred and Twenty-fourth, moved at a double- quick over one of the main roads leading into Peters- burg. Abead was a demoralized, fleeing body of Con- federates, whose pace was occasionally quickened by hurling into them a few bullets. Several times a squad of the hindermost wheeled and returned the fire, but in so wild a manner that the Union men were not injured by it. The enemy was driven within his inner line of intrenchments, which it was

no part of Grant's plan to assault at a fearful waste of life.

The beginning of the end had come. Gen. Lee made a re-disposition of his forces about Petersburg that same afternoon in full sight of the Union army, but he was only covering his purpose to allow the Confederate leaders to evacuate Richmond. He knew he could hold neither Petersburg nor Richmond many hours longer. This was the day when he sent the famous dispatch to Richmond, which was carried to Jefferson Davis seated in church ; and then followed that wild scene never paralleled on this continent : of a fleeing government, a city given up to riot and mob law, ending with a fearful conflagration, the last legacy of the dissolving Confederacy to its ill-fated capital. During the night following the 2d of April the Confederate forces stole silently out of Petersburg over muffled bridges, and on the morning of the 3d, Gen. Grant, pausing in his victorious career only to send a governor and a provost-guard into the city, set his army in motion after Lee's flee- ing veterans.

The Confederate forces, after their hasty flight from the lines which they had so long defended around Richmond and Petersburg, concentrated at Chester- field Court-House, about eight miles west. From that point the Army of Virginia, still forty thousand strong, moved rapidly westward along the northern shore of the Rappahannock River some thirty miles, to Amelia Court-House. By a misunderstood dis- patch, three long trains of supplies, which had been telegraphed to nieet Gen. Lee at Amelia Court-House, were sent forward to Richmond the very day of the evacuation, and were burned in the great fire set by the Confederates as they were leaving.

In the pursuit which Sheridan with his cavalry be- gun on the morning of the 3d before the sun was up, the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth took a part, their brigade having the advance of the Second Corps. During the day they marched about twenty miles, capturing two hundred dismounted Confederate cav- alry and one brass field-piece.

On the morning of the 4th they were aroused from slumber at three o'clock and were on the march at four. About ten o'clock a halt of Gen. Humphrey's corps was ordered, and Gen. De Trobriand sent the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth out to forage a meal for the brigade. They were successful, notwith- standing the war-swept condition of the neighbor- hood, in finding a mill, which they set to grinding grain found there, and which stopped finally by the upper millstone being hurled from its spindle and thrown through the side of the building. They also secured fowls, cattle, sheep, and pigs, though most of them were fearfully lean. The foraging and eating used up most of the day, but they moved three miles farther just at night. At three o'clock in the morn- ing of the 5th they were on the march again ; a very welcome supply-train overtook them with three days'

rations. At dusk the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth joined Sheridan at Jettersville, where he held the Danville Railroad, cutting off one more of Lee's lines of communication. During the day a severe engagement had taken place there, resulting in a loss to the Confederates of a foraging train of one hun- dred and eighty wagons, together with a battery of artillery and a hundred prisoners.

On the morning of the 6th the pursuit was resumed, the brigade of the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth again leading the advance of the Second Corps. They soon came up with Lee's rear-guard at a point where the road crossed a small stream. The Twen- tieth Indiana was deployed as a heavy skirmish line, and soon became hotly engaged. The One Hundred and Twenty-fourth was ordered to the front, and moved off on a run. Gen. Mott added, "Deploy as soon as you cross and take that train." The train was not in sight. As Gen. Mott rode up to the colonel of the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth and com- menced to give an additional order, he was wounded and borne from the field. A delay of ten minutes oc- curred, when the advance was resumed, with the entire division to which the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth belonged in battle line, but the enemy had fled. The One Hundred and Twenty-fourth was sent to relieve the Twentieth Indiana, and that brought the Orange County boys to the front and in sight of the wagon-train which Gen. Mott had di- rected them to take. They were soon able to open an effective fire on the teamsters, and compelled the abandonment of fifteen or twenty wagons and two brass guns, which were being moved with them. The regiment was now wildly enthusiastic; the colonel was obliged to force his horse into a trot to keep up with the excited men. They soon came in sight of a line of rebel earthworks, which Capt. Travis would have charged immediately with his single company of thirty men had not the superior officers recalled him. The main line soon eame up, a charge was made, and the enemy was driven from his works, losing a large number of men captured by the Union forces. Two hours later the advance came up with another Con- federate battle line, and this proved to be held by a considerable body of Lee's main army. The works were manned by a solid battle line, studded at inter- vals with artillery, and gayly decked with Confederate battle-flags. In a few moments the main line again came up. The entire division of which the One Hun- dred and Twenty-fourth was a part made one general charge, swept over the works, capturing several hun- dred prisoners, together with a number of battle-flags and five or six pieces of artillery. The Sixth Corps and Sheridan's cavalry were having severe fighting on the left; they met with strong opposition, were re- pulsed twice with serious loss, but eventually cap- tured nearly two-thirds of Gen. Ewell's corps, in- cluding Ewell himself and five of his general officers.

Creek, in which the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Regiment took twenty-eight prisoners and lost several men, there was a halt of nearly an hour. But when once under way again the enemy's rear-guard was soon overtaken. It was driven from hilltop to hill- top, prisoners by the hundred being taken, guns and wagons being abandoned, and this was only sus- pended by the darkness of the night. Lee had lost during the day nearly six thousand prisoners, four hundred wagons, and upwards of thirty pieces of ar- tillery.

The pursuit on the 7th was continued. About eight o'clock in the morning they reached Highbridge, a small place six miles east of Farmville, and where the Appomattox is crossed by hoth a wagon road and a railroad bridge. The rebels had fired the bridges, and had quite a formidable force to resist the passage. Gen. Barlow's division, then in the advance, dashed over the burning wagon bridge, scattered the defend- ing force, and captured, with a number of prisoners, eighteen pieces of artillery. Barlow then moved off in the direction of Farmville on similar service. From Highbridge, Humphrey's division and De Tro- briand's, including the One Hundred and Twenty- fourth, moved on over the old stage road towards Appomattox Court-House. About five miles beyond the river they came up to the main body of Lee's army, so strongly posted that it was not deemed pru- dent to attack. A short time afterwards, on the sup- position that Lee was again retreating, an attack was made by several regiments of Miles' division, which was repulsed with a Union loss of six hundred.

But the end had come. Lee was surrounded. Sheridan's cavalry and the Sixth Corps had swept around his lines far to the west, and now held Ap- pomattox Station on the Lynchburg Railroad, ex- tinguishing Lee's last hope of escape. At eight on the morning of the 9th of April the order to renew the advance wa's obeyed by a slow but steady march, but at noon orders were passed down the column to move from the road and rest. The now famous and historic interview between Grant and Lee was being held, and the terms of surrender adjusted.

The paroled rebels disappeared, the Army of North- ern Virginia was no longer in existence.

The One Hundred and Twenty-fourth soon after- wards moved to Burkesville Junction, where it received the news of Lincoln's assassination. Resuming soon after their northern march, they moved leisurely along. About the middle of May they were again in sight of Washington. The One Hundred and Twenty- fourth was in the grand review, and immediately left for home. They were delayed about a week on Hart's Island, after which they took the steamer "Mary Powell" for Newburgh.

Well might the Newburgh Daily Union, a few days previous, say,-

" This regiment of heroes, for such they have proved After this engagement, known as the battle of Sailor's " themselves to be, are expected home soon. They

have made as noble a record as any regiment in the field. They have poured out their blood on dozens of historic fields, and have a roll of heroic dead whose memory should be precious to old Orange forever."

From the Newburgh Daily Union of June 14th we take the following paragraphs relating to the welcome in that city :

" When the can non on the long dock began to roar, the boys involuata- rily set up a shout of delight, as if they recognized the tones of an old friend. But the belching, bellowing tobe sent out no missiles of death among them this time,- nothing but the notes of a glorious welcome. The sight that greeted the eyes of those who were on the ' Powell' as she neared our village can hardly ever be forgotten by them. Every place which com- manded a view of the river seemed to be crowded with eager spectators. Flags were flying, bells ringing, cannon booming. innumerable handker- chiefs waving, and the whole village seemed bent on making itself seen aod heard. The boys looked on all this display with undisguised delight, and gave vent to their feelings in repeated cheers. They were marched to the corner of First and Front Streets, through the immense throng which had assembled to do them honor, and between open files of the firemen and Union League, who stood with heads uncovered. The pro- cession then formed in the following order: First the firemen ; then the trustees of the village and distinguished citizens ; then the Union League, accompanied by Eastman's splendid band of Poughkeepsie; then came the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth. The procession moved up Front Street to Water, up Water to South, np South to Grand, down Grand to Western Avenue, up Western Avenue to Liberty, down Liberty to Wash- ington's headquarters. Every flag was out all along the route, and the sight of the bullet-torn battle-flag of the regiment seemed to be regarded with intense interest. Before the boys got around the route they were well furnished with bouquets from the hands of the fair ladies of New- burgh. Every soldier had a bouquet in the muzzle of his rifle. What a change ! The weapons from which, for the past three years, had been issuing the death-dealing bullet now decorated with the floral tribnte of victory and peace. They were distributed by a flower brigade, led by Miss Travis, and organized by Mr. J. T. Sloan.

" The firemeo and Leaguers oo reaching the headquarters formed in front of the stand in a hollow square, into which the Que IInudred and Twenty-fourth marebed. The crowd on the ground was immense, entirely covering the lawn from the house to the eastern limits. There could | not have been less than ten thousand persons present.

" The regimeut was welcopied by Judge Taylor io an eloquent address, of which we can only quote detached passages :

"' On behalf of the citizens of the county of Orange, 1 hid you a warm and cordial welcome to your homes again. You come to us war-worn and scar-worn from the hundred battles of the Army of the Potomac, and you come to us too at a time when peace rests upoo our beloved country. With proud hearts we welcome you. But that pride is Diingled with somewhat of sadness when we remember the thousand comrades whom you have left upon the battle-fields of the sunny South. . . . But, my friends, yon come home to us having completed your work and completed it nobly. To-day our beloved country, which for four long years has been threatened with destruction, is saved by the valor of your arms, and those glorious institutions which our fathers purchased for ns with their blood, have been preserved, though threatened by traitorous hands and rebel foes. . . . You have presented to ns anew our glorious Union, more pure, more elevated, more perfect than before. You will have enabled us on the ensuing Fourth of July, the anniversary of our national independence, to celebrate the absolute fact that all mien are 'born free and equal,' that the 'Stars and Stripes' wave over none but freemen, and that the contradiction which has existed for the last three- quarters of a century that four millions of bondmen were held under the starry flag no longer exists, but that all, of whatever color, birth, or nat- ionality, when they come upon the soil of the United States, nuder the shadow of that glorious banner are freemien, and entitled to its protection under all circuDistances.'

" The address of welcome was appropriately responded to by Col. Wey- gant. The great assembly dissolved, the One Hundred and Twenty-fourth was disbanded, and the record of its glorious achievements passed forever into the archives of history."

The report of the adjutant-general for 1868 pre- sents the following summary statement of the battles

which the regiment was authorized to inseribe upon its banners :

Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Kel- ly's Ford, Mine Run, Wilderness, Po River, Spotts- ylvania, Northı Anna, Tolopotomy, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Strawberry Plains, Boydton Road.

Col. Weygant's history does not show that they par- ticipated to any extent in the battle of Cold Harbor, while Boydton Road, Deep Bottom, and others in which they did participate are not named in the above.
