And here we cannot do better than quote the words of an eloquent writer : *
On the Union side there was joy unmixed and unrestrained- the joy of men who had gone through great tribulation-the joy of an army that, often unfortunate, and ever unappreciated. saw at length unparalleled labors erowned by illustrious success. On the Confederate side there was a kind of joy too,-such sad

IN CAMP AT BURKESVILLE.
joy as men feel when a long agony is over. * * * If, at length, the Army of Northern Virginia fell before the massive power of the North, yet what vitality had it shown ! How terrible had been the struggle ! How many hundreds of thousands of brave men had fallen before that result could be achieved ! and this is the glory of the Army of the Potomac-that it brought to the ground the adversary which had ever been the head and front of the re- volt, and that, in crushing it, it quelled the Rebellion. For so de- cisive upon the issue of the war was the surrender of that army. that the capitulation of all the other Confederate armies followed as a corollary therefrom, and the structure of the Confederacy, losing its keystone, fell with a resounding crash.
Barlow's division, of the Second Corps, marched the next day towards Burkesville, which it reached in about forty-eight hours, when camp was established. Three weeks of comparative leisure were passed here, and the Tenthhad an opportunity to recuperate from the effects of the campaign of two weeks which had terminated in such a glorious manner. During the operations, Lieut. Risley, of Company B, had been wounded ; that being the only loss sustained by the battalion. Its duties had, of course, been constant and severe; but the spirits of all in the com- mand had continued at a high ebb, in the consciousness that the end was fast approaching. The country through which the retreat of Lee had led the Army of the Poto- mac was fair, and diversified by hills and valleys; every- thing had seemed new and fresh, and had proved a wel- come change from the bare and sterile plateaus and thickly wooded forests in the vicinity of Petersburg. These surroundings had been of benefit-especially when a halt in the rapid movements had allowed the troops time to note them-and had served at odd moments to relieve the mind from the contemplation of war.
Less than a week after going into camp at Burkes-
356
THE NATIONAL ZOUAVES.
ville, came the news one night, like a thunder-clap front a cloudless sky, telling of the assassination of President Lincoln. The tidings were published to the troops by circular from Army Headquarters and the camps imme- diately assumed an almost funereal appearance. Men grouped together, sometimes conversing in whispers and again furious in their denunciations of the awful crime. Even as the news came scores of paroled Rebel soldiers were leisurely passing the camp of the Tenth, following the railroad on the way to their homes, and it seemed almost incredible that he who had been foremost in mer- ciful intentions towards the armed enemies of the coun- try, had been so foully murdered. Yet it was consistent that the abettors of Rebellion should thus crown their misdoings by assassinating a magistrate, "So conscien- tious that his heavy responsibility weighed him down like a millstone-so pure that partisan rancor found no stain upon the hem of his garments-so gentle that 'e'en his failings leaned to virtue's side'-so merciful that, even at his death, he stood like an averting angel between his enemies and the Nation's vengeance." The perpetration of this great crime seemed, for a time, to completely overshadow the joyful exuberance of feeling which had been felt throughout the army since the hour of Lee's surrender.
Our battalion was in good discipline and condition when orders were received, directing the army to break camp and march towards the Potomac. This last great homeward march began on May 24, the Second Corps leaving its camp on that date and taking the road to Richmond.
The tediousness of the march to that city, which oc- cupied three days, was greatly relieved by the novelty
357
THE MARCH NORTHWARD.
of everything along the route. The country was new and strange to our soldiers, and it was yet stranger to notice the bearing of the inhabitants who witnessed the regular and orderly march of the long, dark columns of Union troops. In many instances, the houses along the road were closed and apparently deserted ; yet bright eyes could often be observed, peering between the bars of the closed shutters, anxious to see the homeward-bound veterans who had compelled the surrender of Richmond and Lee's army, yet unwilling to exhibit curiosity or the slightest desire to notice the conquering lines. The ne- groes along the route were alone exuberant in their feel- ings and actions ; they swarmed in numbers everywhere, evincing a profound and sometimes ludicrous respect for their liberators, and showing great anxiety to do every- thing possible to assist them. At several points their curious anties and frantic exhibitions of delight afforded unbounded amusement to the men, and roars of laughter at their freaks at times enlivened the march. On May 5th the troops encamped at Manchester, opposite Rich- mond, and, on the morning of the 6th, with bands play- ing and colors unfurled, the Second Corps crossed the James and entered the late capital of the Confederacy.
It would be impossible to correctly describe the feel- ings of the soldiers of the Tenth, as they, for the first time, viewed the streets and houses of Richmond. Those among them who had been with the Army of the Poto- mac since the Peninsular campaign, and had seen its many reverses, shared its victories and experienced its hardships, were better able, perhaps, to appreciate the surroundings, as they moved through the city, past Libby Prison with its horrible associations, and through the streets lately paced by armed Rebels. The gray

uniforms of the paroled soldiers were numerous through- out the city, and, as a general rule, the wearers main- tained a sullen silence, although there were occasional exceptions where some of them seemed, by their frank and cheerful demeanor, to have already accepted the situation and cast off all serious reflections concerning the dead Confederacy.
The one band possessed by the Third Brigade (that of the 14th Connecticut), which headed the command, commenced its repertoire of marching airs upon touch- ing Richmond soil, and the musicians blew themselves almost breathless in their efforts to make music by which the entire brigade could march. The Tenth was some distance down the column, where it was impossible to take step from the band. Drum-Maj. Ed. De Noyelles withstood the temptation as long as his patience per- mitted, and then, at a glance of acquiescence from the adjutant, he gave the signal, and the dozen fifes and drums of the battalion burst out in a rattle which the companies following quickly appreciated and profited by, as their steady step immediately proved. Although against brigade orders, the drummers were not directed to cease and the battalion marched through Richmond behind its own "field music." The passage of the Second Corps through the city consumed a great part of the day and at night it encamped a mile or two north of the intrenchinents.
Upon the events of the march northward which fol- lowed, consuming the next eleven days, it is unneces- sary to dwell at length. The route lay through por- tions of Virginia familiar to the Army of the Potomac from the experience of its past campaigns. The battle- fields near Spottsylvania were passed, and the histori-
359
FREDERICKSBURG.
cal city of Fredericksburg was included in the route. While our brigade was resting on the high ground back of the city, and in the immediate locality where French's division suffered so heavily on the well-re- membered 13th day of December, 1862, a diminutive boy, clad in butternut, offered his services to show the old ice-house or hole in which the fatigue parties had buried some of our dead, and which he described as being "full of Yankees." Several soldiers of the Tenth looked, with feelings akin to horror, upon the bones which were heaped in the deep excavation, and it was easy to allow their thoughts to drift back to that cold winter day when every foot of the hill on which they now rested was swept by the guns of the enemy, and the slope was strewn with the bodies of the brave men of the Second Corps. The bleached and whitened bones have since been carefully gathered, and now rest in the beautiful National Cemetery at Fredericksburg, where, under snow-white headstones, it is almost impossible to picture their former hasty burial on the battlefield.
Some of the marching after this was severe-much more so on the part of the Second Corps than circum- stances warranted ; but all were jubilant in the antici- pation of the near future, and the striet orders issued by the corps commander, forbidding any straggling from the column, and causing the regiments to keep the forma- tion of fours, was obeyed as far as practicable. Some bitter invective was indulged in, however, when the column was compelled to press ou at a gait which only a forced march in an active campaign should have called for. One afternoon, particularly, when within a few miles of Fairfax, the corps was forced along under a hot sun, and then through a driving rain, fording, as dark-

ness came, a rapid, swollen stream, in order to gain a certain point before the day's march was ended. Wood was scarce where we halted, thongh water was plentiful, and many of the Tenth stood by the smoking, smoulder- ing fires most of the night, endeavoring to dry their thoroughly soaked clothing. It was understood after- wards that the Fifth Corps was on a parallel road, and that an impromptu race had been indulged in by the rival commanders. The author has forgotten which, if either, gained the advantage, but he has a vivid recol- lection of the unchristian-like remarks which were lev- elled at the heads of those responsible for the unneces- sary march, as well as of the amount of water which he poured from his boots and wrung from his overcoat. This, however, was the last actual hardship experienced by the battalion, and the bright and cool morning which broke, after the night of comparative misery, dispelled any ill-feeling which remained.
It was the middle of May when the Second Corps went into camp upon and around Munson's Hill, about six miles south of Washington. The campaigning of the National Zouaves was finished.
-
The grand review of the Armies of the United States took place at Washington, May 23d and 24th, 1865. The Army of the Potomae and Gen. Sheridan's cavalry corps passed in review on the first-named date, followed, on the succeeding day, by Gen. Sherman's troops, consist- ing of the Armies of the Tennessee and Georgia. Every regiment, battalion and battery of these armies partici- pated in this unparalleled exhibition of the might and

CONSOLIDATION.
grandeur of a free people's government. It was an occa- sion never before equaled on this continent and which probably never will be repeated. Those who bore a part in the review can hardly forget it or cease to feel a thrill of pride at their participation, and it must remain a life- long memory to those who were spectators.
From this time until the date of muster out, the weeks were passed quietly, with few events of importance to mark them. Drills and parades, however, were insisted upon in our own division, as though the army was pre- paring for new campaigns instead of awaiting disband- ment.
June 4th an order was received from the War De- partment, consolidating the undischarged remnant of the 8th New York Heavy Artillery with the Tenth New York Veteran Volunteers. This gave the battalion an additional number of 13 commissioned officers and 386 enlisted men (present and absent). Four additional companies were formed, making ten in all, and our bat- talion became a regiment, and probably the largest in the division.
The 8th had experienced heavy losses since joining the Army of the Potomac, in May, 1864, and, if the se- lection had been made by the battalion itself, no braver command could have been chosen with which to camp during the short term of duty still remaining. Col. Joel B. Baker was among the officers transferred to the Tenth, and the muster of Lieut .- Col. Hopper, Maj. Woods and Adjt. Cowtan to their new ranks of colonel, lieutenant- colonel and major, respectively, thus became impossible.
On June 28th the following order was promulgated by Gen. Meade :
362
THE NATIONAL ZOUAVES.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
June 28th, 1865.
SPECIAL ORDERS, No. 163.
EXTRACT.
Pursuant to telegraphie instructions, dated War Department, Adjutant-General's Office, June 22d, 1865, and upon the certificate of the proper Commissaries of Musters that the following named organizations have complied with the provisions of General Order No. 94, current series, Adjutant-General's Office, they will at onee be mustered out of service and placed en route to the proper State rendezvous, viz .:
* * * * * *
Tenth New York Veteran Volunteers, 33 commissioned officers and 815 enlisted men, to Hart's Island, New York Harbor .*
The Quartermaster will furnish the necessary transportation.
By command of

GEORGE D. RUGGLES, A. A. General.
In pursuance of this order the Tenth was mustered out on the 30th, breaking camp on the same day, and amid the cheers of the remaining regiments of the brave old "Ironsides" brigade, marched out and took the road towards Washington. The parting from the veteran regiments with which we had so long fought and bivou- acked was tinged with sadness, and many hearty fare- wells and wishes to meet thereafter were exchanged. The regiment marched through Washington, with drums beating and colors flying and at night was settled in comparatively comfortable cars on the way to northern homes.
Trains carrying soldiers northward were at this time
* This was the total strength of the command present and absent. Probably about one-half of this number were present for duty.

HOME AGAIN.
"accommodation " in the broadest sense, and what with switching off wherever a switch could be found, lying for hours awaiting numberless regular trains and reversing the engine occasionally for a run backward a mile or so on a side-track, it was late at night of July Ist when the regiment arrived in New York city. Col. Varian, com- manding the Sth Regiment of Militia, had, in a soldierly letter to Lieut .- Col. Hopper, offered his regiment as an escort upon arrival ; but the lateness of the hour pre- vented the assembling of that command. Col. Vincent Collyer, however, who had charge of the reception of returning regiments, met the Tenth with Robertson's band, and, under command of Lieut .- Col. Hopper, and headed by a large party of friends, the veterans marched up Broadway and through Grand Street to the armory of the Eighth Regiment, where a bountiful repast was spread. Resolutions of thanks were subsequently voted to Col. Collyer, by the officers, for his generous enter- tainment of, and attention to the regiment.
Until July 3d the Tenth was furnished with subsist- ence and quarters in the city, and, on the afternoon of that day, it made a final parade down Broadway, with the torn and blood-stained banner which it had borne through the Wilderness campaign, as well as the colors which it brought home. Steamer was taken to Hart's Island, and there the command delivered up its arms and accoutrements, received its final pay, and the mem- bers dispersed to their homes.
Of the officers who held commissions in the regiment at its organization in 1861, Lieut .- Col. Hopper alone re- mained during the entire term of service of the regi- ment. Three other returning officers, who had been promoted from the ranks, were also with the command.

in various positions, from the beginning to the end. These were Bvt .- Maj. Russell, Capt. Field, and Bvt .- Capt. and Adjt. Cowtan.
By General Order No. 10, Headquarters Army of the Potomac, dated March 10th, 1865, the Tenth New York Volunteers was authorized to bear upon its colors the names of the following battles and operations in which it had borne a meritorious part, viz. :
NORFOLK,
MINE RUN,
GAINES' MILL,
WILDERNESS,
WHITE OAK SWAMP,
SPOTTSYLVANIA,
MALVERN HILL,
NORTH ANNA,
SECOND BULL RUN,
TOLOPOTOMOY,
ANTIETAM,
COLD HARBOR,
FREDERICKSBURG,
PETERSBURG,
CHANCELLORSVILLE,
STRAWBERRY PLAINS,
GETTYSBURG,
DEEP BOTTOM,
BRISTOE STATION,
REAM'S STATION,
BOYDTON ROAD,
to which list can also be added :
HATCHER'S RUN and THE SURRENDER OF LEE.
Thus the "National Zouaves" disappeared from the scene-its members quietly resuming their various posi- tions in civil life. Four years and two months had elapsed between the drum-beat which called the regiment to arms and its final disbandment and absorption into the mazes of business and peaceful citizenship. This period had been replete with stirring event .. The Re- public of the Western Continent had evidenced a vital- ity which had astounded the older nations of the world

THE END.
and, in addition to exhibiting unequalled strength and resources, it had burst the fetters of millions of slaves and stood radiant in power, prestige and the conscious- ness that the crime of Slavery, which had so long blotted its banner, had been partly atoned for.
Years have passed since the battles, marches and pri- vations recorded in these pages were fresh in the minds of the people, and time's softening influences have toned down the excesses of the war and brought the heroism of the defenders of their country into relief. Although volumes such as this may assist in recording the deeds of brave men, each soldier of the Republic has an unwrit- ten history of his own. He has experienced that which neither time nor events can ever efface. In his mind ever exists the memory of the cause for which he per- illed life and of the flag which he followed in heat and cold, through trackless forests-even to the jaws of death. Unwelcome dreams come at night, of horrible days spent in hostile prisons ; and locks prematurely gray tell of the unnaturally heavy drain upon youthful energies. The memory of the past is ever present to the veteran, though at times the note of a bugle or a fa- miliar drum-tap will marshal a host of old-time recollec- tions and render more vivid the battles and privations which must, to him, remain a lifetime story.
