On the 19th of December, the main body of Sheridan's army marched from the valley to join Grant in front of Petersburg. The Fifty-fourth moved to Washington and thence to City Point, arriving on the 23d, and encamped on Chapin's Farm. It was assigned to duty in the Army of the James.

APPOMATTOX COURT HOUSE.
Upon the muster out of service of the Third and Fourth Reserve Regi- ments, in May, 1864, the veterans and recruits were at first organized into an independent battalion, which was subsequently united to the Fifty-fourth. On the 7th of February, 1865, the term of original enlistments having expired, an order from the War Department directed that the two organizations should be consolidated under the name of the Fifty-fourth Regiment. This was et- fected, and the following field officers were commissioned, the original officers of the Fifty-fourth having been mustered out at the expiration of their terms of service : Albert P. Moulton, Colonel, William A. M'Dermit, Lieutenant Colonel, and Nathan Davis, Major. It was assigned to the Second Brigade, Independent Division of the Army of the James, commanded by General Ord.
On the morning of the 2d of April the regiment was ordered to join in the general forward movement of the army, and proceeding with the brigade, crossed the rebel works, near the Boydton Plank Road, now abandoned, and approached Fort Gregg. Here a spirited resistance was offered, and it was not until a hot fire of infantry and artillery had been brought to bear upon the enemy, that he yielded. In this brief engagement the regiment lost twenty killed and wounded. Major Davis and Lieutenant Cyrus Patton, of company G, were among the killed. Captain John L. Decker, of company A, succeeded Davis as major of the regiment.
The rebel army, having been routed from its works about Petersburg, was retreating rapidly towards the North Carolina border. On the 5th of April, two regiments, the Fifty-fourth Pennsylvania, and the One Hundred and Twenty-third Ohio, Colonel Kellogg, with two companies of the Fourth Massa- chusetts Cavalry, Colonel Washburn, were ordered to make a forced march to High Bridge, and effect its destruction, for the purpose of cutting the enemy's way of retreat, and delaying his columns. Arrived at Rice's Station, General Read, of Ord's staff, took command, and when within sight of the bridge made his dispositions for the attack. Before the column could be formed, word was brought that the videttes, at Ricc's, had been driven; nothing daunted, the little force promptly attacked. But the enemy had taken ample precautions for the safety of this, their main avenue of escape, and after a desperate struggle, in which General Read was killed, Colonels Kellogg and Washburn wounded and taken prisoners, and a large proportion of the command killed or prison- ers, surrounded on all sides by the main columns of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, it was forced to surrender. The loss of the Fifty-fourth was twenty- one killed and wounded. The captives were taken back to Rice's, where, to their astonishment, they beheld Longstreet's Corps intrenched, having come up but a few moments after Read's column had passed in the morning.
The attack, though failing in its immediate purpose, subserved the main end; for Lee's columns were thereby delayed several hours, enabling Sheridan to sweep around the enemy's rear, and complete the destruction and capture of that once proud and defiant army. For four days, without rations, the cap- tives marched with the retreating rebel army, when, to their great joy, they were released from their captivity, and their starving condition, by Grant's victorious columns. From Appomattox Court House the regiment was sent to Camp Parole, at Annapolis, Maryland, and, on the 15th of July, was mus- tered out of service at Harrisburg.
