On the 27th of June the regiment was ordered to Washington, North Caro- lina, at the head of navigation of Pamlico River. Upon its arrival, it was broken into detachments, and companies A, C, D, G, I and K were posted at different points on the fortifications covering the town. The remaining companies per- formed provost duty. The post was under the command of General Palmer. While here the men became proficient in heavy artillery practice. On the 16th of December, Captain Theodore Blakeley, of company B, with a detachment of one hundred men, proceeded on an expedition some fifteen miles south of the town, where he surprised a rebel cavalry encampment, capturing a captain and sixty men with horses and equipments, and returned in safety to camp without having fired a gun. He was complimented for his gallantry in an order from department headquarters. Company K, Captain Cecil Clay, which had been stationed at Hill's Point on the river, below the town, was about this time at- tacked by the enemy in considerable force. With determined valor he defended . his post, and triumphantly repelled the attack. He also received a compli- mentary order for his excellent conduct.
On the 31st of December, Colonel M'Chesney, who had succeeded General Palmer in command of the post, made an expedition to the vicinity of Green- ville, where he encountered the enemy at night, and a desperate hand to hand engagement occurred in the darkness, resulting in the discomfiture of the rebel force. One gun, twelve horses, and eight prisoners were taken. Lieutenant Adams was killed. The service of the regiment on the fortifications, on guard, and picket, now continued without incident until the evacuation of the place

BATTLE OF COLD HARBOR.
was ordered towards the close of April, 1864. In the meantime, Captain Charles A. Winn, of company G, was promoted to Major.
Embarking upon transports, the regiment, together with the entire command. proceeded to Fortress Monroe, and on the 1st of May, landed at Yorktown. where General Butler was re-organizing the Army of the James to operate against Richmond. The Fifty-eighth was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division, of the Eighteenth Corps. On the 4th of May, Butler's Army pro-' ceeded by water to Bermuda Hundred, on the right bank of the James. On the 6th the First Division, commanded by General Brooks, moved out to the neighborhood of Petersburg. Here a detachment of two hundred men from the Fifty-eighth was sent to slash the woods near the Appomattox, the gunboats shelling the opposite shore. On the 9th the division had a sharp encounter with the enemy, in which the regiment lost twenty killed and wounded. On the following day it was engaged in destroying the Petersburg and Richmond Railroad. The destruction was made complete for a considerable distance, the rails being twisted, the ties burned, and the bridges destroyed. In the heavy attack of the enemy on the 16th, the regiment suffered no loss. During the remainder of the campaign on the south side of the James, it was actively employed in field and fatigue dnty, but was not closely engaged.
Upon the transfer of the Eighteenth Corps, under General Smith, to Grant's Army, near Cold Harbor, the regiment embarked with the command in two transports, one of which, having on board companies A, C, F, and E, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Martin, was disabled on the passage, by which it was delayed several days. The remaining companies, under Major Winn, ar- rived, debarked at White House with the main body of the corps, and imme- diately commenced the march to the front, arriving at Cold Harbor on the 1st of June. At five P. M., a charge upon the enemy's line was ordered, and the battalion forming with the Fortieth Massachusetts, advanced across an open field, in which it was much exposed, to a wood where the enemy was posted in rifle-pits, from which he was quickly driven, and pursued to his intrenched line in rear of the wood. This it was impossible to carry, and the advantage gained was secured by intrenching, which was executed under the fire of rebel sharp- shooters. The loss in this encounter was thirty-five killed and wounded.
On the 3d of June, in the grand assault of the Union forces upon the ene- my's works at Cold Harbor, the battalion participated, and was much exposed. "The Fifty-eighth," says a correspondent of the New York Herald, "under command of Captain Cecil Clay, of compauy K, then charged the enemy's works, and succeeded in carrying his rifle-pits. Here, however, the men found themselves close prisoners, as it was utterly impossible for a head or an arm to make its appearance, without being riddled by bullets. For two long hours the regiment beld its position, and until it was re-inforced." It sustained con- siderable loss in this charge, and was daily at the front until the 13th, when the army withdrew. The Eighteenth Corps now returned by transports from White House to Bermuda Hundred, and on the 15th, crossing the Appomattox, attacked the enemy's lines in front of Petersburg, the Fifty-eighth holding the right of the line. The outer works were carried, and at evening the regiment was re- lieved from the front, and returned to Point of Rocks. .
On the 24th of June, the veterans of the regiment, who had never been al- lowed the furlough which was promised to all who would re-enlist, were ordered to Philadelphia to enjoy their long delayed respite from duty. In consideration 37-VOL. II.

of the patient endurance of the delay, twenty days additional were given to the usual furlough. Captains Leiper and Jackson, and Lieutenant Cotter remained at the front during their absence, in command of the recruits, and of those who had not re-enlisted, and were almost constantly engaged on picket and fatigue duty.
At the expiration of the furlough, the veterans with new recruits returned to the front, arriving on the 25th of August. The Eighteenth Corps having been relieved from duty on the south side of the Appomattox, and in front of Petersburg, was posted in the line of intrenchments from Point of Rocks to the James River, in front of the rebel Howlett House Battery. The Fifty-eighth held the high ground in front and to the right of the open field near battery Number 4, the picket line close up to the enemy's, extending from the James to a ravine on the right of Fort Wisconsin. While here, the arms of the regiment were exchanged for new Springfield rifled muskets.
On the evening of September 28th, parts of the Tenth and Eighteenth Corps, moved across the James on muffled pontoons. The Third Brigade had the ad- vance, and at sunrise skirmishing commenced. As it pressed forward, the rebels fell back to the forts and defences, which were in full view, extending . from the river north, to the vicinity of White Oak Swamp. The brigade was immediately ordered up, and the Fifty-eighth, Major Winn, and One Hundred and Eighty-eighth Pennsylvania, Major Reichardt, regiments were selected to lead the charge npon Fort Harrison, the principal defence. A public road led directly to the fort, and the ground in front, over which the charge must be made, was open, and ascending for about twelve hundred yards. The right of the One Hundred and Eighty-eighth and the left of the Fifty-eighth, rested on the road. Fifty yards from the fort the ground rises quite suddenly to the crest, just in rear of which was the ditch with abatis in front. The fort mounted six- teen guns, two of them one hundred pounders. Forming for the desperate work, the two regiments moved forward at a regular pace, until within five hundred yards, when, in the face of a storm of shot and shell that swept their ranks, they rushed forward as one man until they reached the little ridge in front of the fort. Here, all, with one accord, dropped upon the ground, under partial shelter; but only for an instant; for at this moment General Ord came dashing up, and, inspired by the presence and daring of their chief, the men sprang forward with wild shouts, passed the abatis and the ditch, and scaling the para- pet, drove the enemy in rout and confusion from the fort. The colors of the Fifty-eighth, which had three times fallen in the desperate onset, were planted . upon the parapet by Captain Cecil Clay, who, with Adjutant Johnson, was among the first to enter the fort. As Captain Clay, who had just taken the flag from the hands of the fallen corporal, attempted to raise it upon the fort, he received two gun-shot wounds in the right arm. The flag itself was completely riddled, and the staff twice shot off. Of the nine officers and two hundred and twenty-eight men who advanced, six officers and one hundred and twenty- eight men were either killed or wounded. Captains Theodore Blakeley and Daniel F. Linn were among the killed. The victory was complete, and fort, heavy guns, small arms, battle-flags, and prisoners, graced the triumph of the victors. The records of the war furnish few more daring feats of arms than this.
On the afternoon of the same day, these two regiments were ordered to at- tack the Star Fort, situated a mile to the left of Fort Harrison, and near the river. Filled with fiery zeal by their success in the morning, they moved gal-

lantly forward, scaled the ramparts, and spiked the guns; but weakened by their severe losses, the rebel gun-boats playing upon them, and supports failing to come at the critical moment, they were obliged to fall back, and the advan- tage, dearly purchased, was lost. They returned to Fort Harrison, and all night long were engaged in throwing up a skillfully planned line of earth works. The next day the enemy attacked in heavy force, and with determined valor; but was repulsed with great slaughter. As the pickets passed the ground at evening, they counted over three hundred rebel dead.
The regiment was now almost constantly employed in picket, guard, and fatigue duty, which was for the most part very severe. Forests were slashed, corduroy roads built, and miles of rifle pits and solid fortifications, were thrown up. Towards the close of October, the regiment, with a part of General Ord's command, participated in the attack on the enemy's works on the Williamsburg and Charles City roads, but was not actively engaged, and suffered no loss. On the Sth of December it was again engaged at Spring Hill, five miles to the right of Fort Harrison, but had no casualties.
At the expiration of his term of service, Major Winn was honorably dis- charged, and on the 19th of November Captain Cecil Clay was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain Robert C. Redmond to Major. In the final campaign which resulted in the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, and the capture of Lee's Army, the regiment bore a conspicuous part. After the suspension of hostilities, it was assigned to duty by detachments in the lower counties of Virginia, and acted under orders from the Freedmen's Bureau, con- tinuing until past the end of the year. It was finally mustered out of service at City Point, on the 24th of January, 1866.
