THE REBELLION.


EIGHTY-NINTH REGIMENT NEW YORK VOLUN- TEERS .- The Eighity-n inth Regiment New York State Veteran Volunteers was raised by the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson, and were mostly from Broome, Delaware and Chenango Counties, N. Y. Companies G and K had quite a number from Susquehanna County, Pa. They were mustered into the United States service on the 18th day of October, 1861, at Elmira, for three years, or during the war. The regi- ment was called the Dickinson Guards. The field aud staff were Colonel H. S. Fairchilds, from Roches- ter; Lieutenant-Colonel J. C. Robie, of Binghamton ; and Major Wm. Everetts, of Binghamton. About Nov. 18th the regiment was ordered to Washington and remained there about thirty days on the Bladens- burg turnpike. While there they were presented with a beautiful State flag by the daughter of the Hou. Daniel S. Dickinson. The presentation address was made by Vice-President Hannibal Hamlin. The regiment was assigned to the Ninth Corps, and went on the Burnside expedition to Hatteras. The regi- ment sailed on the ship " Arecan." The vessel drawing nineteen feet of water, and there being only twelve feet of water on the Hatteras bar, they were forced to remain at anchor outside the bar twenty-eight days in a terrible storm. The twenty-eighth day, after throwing out the ballast, the ship was towed over the bar. The regiment was rendered unfit for duty on account of the rough passage. They remained on Hatteras about six weeks, and from there went to Roanoke Island. Their first battle was on the 19th of April, 1862, General Reno being in command, and was a grand victory, causing the evacuationof Nor- folk. The regiment remained with Burnside, and was with him at Fredericksburg, and from there went to Washington, and there joined McClellan's army. Were the first troops in Frederick Valley, where they met with a grand reception from the citizens for driving the rebels from their beautiful city. The regiment was in the battle of South Mountain and received the last grand charge made by the rebels on the left, and were under the command of the gallant Reno until he was killed. The regiment was on the extreme left of the line at Antietam and crossed on the stone dam below the bridge. Under a galling fire they captured two guns and charged into the town of Sharpsburg ; but Stonewell Jackson coming up, they were forced to cut their way through the rebel lines, losing very heavily. The regiment fol- lowed Burnside to Fredericksburg and were the first to cross the river in boats, and with one hundred men, captured double this number of prisoners, and held the centre of the town, in front of the Lacey House, until the bridge was laid. For their bravery they received a vote of thanks from Congress. They were iu the battle the next day and lost nearly one-half of their number. The regiment did duty at Fred- ericksburg through the winter and then went south to Charleston, remaining there about seven months,


taking part in the siege of Charleston. About the 15th of April, 1864, they were ordered to join Butler's army and were with him at the first battle of Peters- burg, Bermuda Hundred and Drury's Bluff, taking an active part iu all engagements ; also at Suffolk, and captured sixty-three on the Nansemond River. Captured a fort, one hundred and sixty-five prisoners and six pieces, four of which were captured from Getty's battery at the battle of Bull Run. They were in the battle of Suffolk the 20th day of May. At Suf- folk they crossed the river and charged into A. P. Hill's headquarters, capturing his baggage and some of his staff. They were with Grant at Cold Harbor, being the last to leave the trenches; from there they went by boat to Petersburg and were in the advance on Petersburg on the 15th of June ; the first into the fort said to be captured by colored troops under Smith ; were continually under fire and fighting from the 15th until the 20th ; were in the battles of Cha- pin's Farm, Miue Run and Weldon Railroad, and all engagements until the war closed. Lieutenant-Colo- nel Robie resigned at Roanoke, and Captain England was made lieutenant-colonel. Major Everetts was injured at Camden by falling from a battery, injuring his spine and unfitting him from duty ; he was trans- ferred to the Invalid Corps. In 1863 Lieutenant Frank Tremain was promoted to major, and was killed at Petersburg. The regiment was fitted up three times, having on the rolls about fifteen hun- dred names, and when inustered out at the close ot the war only about three hundred answered to their names. They were called " Burnside's Pets," " Bat- tlecats," and "the regiment that never ran from the enemny."

SIXTEENTH NEW YORK INDEPENDENT BATTERY. -This battery was recruited by Captain Milo W. Lock at Binghamton, Broome County, N. Y., in the fall of 1861, commencing in September, and went into barrack and was there under instruction until March 10, 1862, when it was ordered to Washington, D. C., where it operated in the defence of that city until July, when it was assigned to Burnside's Ninth Corps, which it joined at Fredericksburg, Va. When the army left there it was returned to the defence of Washington, at Alexandria, Va., and was in the de- fence of the city until April 5, 1863, when it was transferred to the army under General Peck, at Suf- folk, Va., where it first participated in active opera- tions. From there it went in June with the demonstra- tions against Richmond, by the way of Bottom's Bridge, Va. Upon its return it was assigned to duty at Fort Yorktown, Va. There becoming greatly de- pleted by sickness, it was relieved from duty, and sent to Portsmouth, Va., to recruit, where it remained until November 15, 1863, when it was sent to join General Heckman's command at Newport News, Va., where it veteranized in December, 1863. The men not re-enlisting were assigned to Battery H, Third New York Artillery, until the return of the veterans and many recruits, when it was reorganized under Captain R. H. Lee, and assigned to the Second Divi- sion, Eighteenth Corps, with which it operated before Petersburg, Va., being actively engaged in its many encounters with the enemy, especially at the taking of Fort Harrison, Chapin's Farm and Newmarket Heights, when, at the organization of the force for the Fort Fisher expedition, it was transferred to the Second Division, Tenth Corps, and participated in both the first and second expeditions and final reduc- tion of the fort, January 16, 1865, as well as all the subsequent movements of General A. H. Terry against and capture of Wilmington, N. C. The advance and co-operation with Sherman's army through North Carolina to Raleigh, N. C., when the battery went into camp, and remained till June 25, 1865, when it started on the return home by rail and boat to Elmira, N. Y., where, on the 8th of July, it was mustered out, having served nearly four years. When first enlisted it was known as the Dickinson Light Artillery, in honor of Daniel S. Dickinson. This battery sustained an honorable reputation, and although its losses in action were not severe, it suffered heavily by disease, having on its rolls at different times more than three hundred and thirty men.
