* * The troops went upon duty just at dark. Entering the trenches at the first parallel, they passed along them by the flank to the extreme front, where the engineers were at work, men being sent into all the intermediate parallels and batteries as they went up. In some places the trenches were deep enough to afford protection when walking upright, while in other parts they had to stoop to get cover. Up to the second parallel there were splinter- proofs to protect the men from the fragments of bursting shells, but above that there was only the usual trench. Every few minutes a shell from James Is- land or Wagner, or the ball of a sharp-shooter, came in close proximity, wheu there would be an involuntary seeking of cover. The officers and men lay in their trenches and slight splinter-proofs for twenty-four hours, when they were relieved by a new detail." On the 29th of August the entire brigade was transferred to Morris Island. On the 31st, a Lieutenant and forty men

. ASSAULT AND CAPTURE OF FORT WAGNER.


were required for fatigue duty with the engineers on the advance trenches. Lieutenant Laughlin led the detail from the One Hundred and Fourth, which was composed of volunteers from companies A and C, and of these one was killed and six wounded. On the following day the regiment was required to take the place of one of the three chosen regiments to occupy the advance trenches. During the tour of duty it had one killed and five wounded.


Details were furnished from the One Hundred and Fourth for duty in the boat infantry, which was employed in patrolling the creeks and rivers, and the waters adjacent to the islands now occupied by the Union troops. The enemy employed similar troops, and between them were frequent collisions. Details were also made to man and take charge of Requa batteries, used in connection with the boat infantry. These batteries consisted of twenty-five riffe gun barrels mounted on a pintle in the stern of the boat, provided with · metallic cartridges, and so arranged that they could all be discharged by a single cap. The whole could thus be discharged twelve times a minute, and were effective at close range.


The fifth and last parallel had finally been completed, and preparations were made for another assault upon Fort Wagner. The troops selected for this duty were Stevenson's and Davis' Brigades, and the Ninety-seventh Penn- sylvania and Third New Hampshire regiments, in all about three thousand men, the two latter regiments to form a storming party. Remembering the fate of those who had made the previous assault, the men went about their preparations for it with the full consciousness that their return alive was in- volved in much doubt. They wrote letters to their friends at home; they left valuables with their comrades with instructions for their disposition, and nerved themselves to meet the worst heroically. At the appointed hour they entered the works and made their way to the front ; but as they passed along. the rumor spread that the fort had been evacuated. A volunteer sent out to verify the report, soon returned declaring the enemy's works abandoned, and three thousand heavy hearts beat light again.


No sooner was Morris Island in possession of the Union forces, than the work was commenced of putting it in a complete state of defence. The One Hundred and Fourth participated in this arduous and dangerous work. Por. tions of companies D and F were at the front on the night of the 21st of Sep- tember, and while there, off duty, and asleep in the bomb-proof at battery Gregg, a shell from James Island entered and burst among them. Seven men were wounded, two mortally. On the 17th of November the batteries for heavy guns were so far completed that five were opened upon the city of Charleston. From this time forward during the winter and spring, the firing was continued with tolerable regularity. On the 2d of December a detachment of thirty-five drafted men was received into the regiment. Of the original members of the command one hundred and ten re-enlisted for a second term of three years. On the 16th of January, 1864, two hundred and eighty-nine more recruits were received. From January 17th, to April 20th, Colonel Davis was in com- mand of all the troops on Morris Island, Lieutenant Colonel Hart holding command of the brigade, and Captains Harvey and Corcoran of the regiment.


About the middle of . April the Tenth Corps was ordered to Fortress Mon- roe, to reinforce the Army of the James, and on the 26th Colonel Davis was placed in command of the Middle District of South Carolina, extending along the coast from Saint Helena Sound to the mouth of the Savannah River. The

ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTH REGIMENT.


One Hundred and Fourth and Fifty-second of his brigade were left with him. The regiment remained on duty here, the companies at times widely scattered, until near the close of June, when Gencral Foster received instructions to at- tack Charleston with all his disposable force. This movement was ordered for the double purpose of diverting the attention of the enemy from Sherman, who was marching on Atlanta, and to prevent the sending of reinforcements to Lee at Richmond. The attack was to be made by four separate columns. The One Hundred and Fourth embarked on the morning of the 1st of July and ran up to North Edisto, where it landed and moved with the column of General Hatch, which consisted of Saxton's and Davis' brigades. While on the march Surgeon Robinson mistook his way, and becoming separated from the command, fell into the hands of the enemy. On the morning of the 6th, while out upon the front reconnoitring, Colonel Davis was wounded by the fragment of a shell, losing the fingers of his right hand. At four o'clock on the morning of the 9th, the enemy attacked with great determination and drove in the pickets. He rushed on towards the bridge with reckless impetu- osity. When within one hundred yards the artillery, which he had not dis- covered, opened with grape and canister with terrible effect. His advance was checked, but immediately deploying in the wood on either side of the road, commenced a general attack. The action lasted two hours, when he retired repulsed at all points. The loss in the regiment in the operations upon the island was one officer, Lieutenant Philip Burke killed, and two officers and nine men wounded. Lieutenant Burke was on duty on the picket line, and being observed on account of his activity in rallying his men, a rebel sharp-shooter mounted a bank opposite and taking deliberate aim shot him through the head. That night the island was evacuated, and the forces were all recalled, the attempt to capture Charleston resulting, as all previous ones had, in failure.


The regiment now returned to its old camp at Hilton Head, where it was engaged in garrison and fatigue duty. Towards the close of July it was or- dered to Florida, and was posted for guard along the line of railroad from Jacksonville to Baldwin, where it remained about a month, when with other regiments it was sent north. It landed at Alexandria, Virginia, and was as- signed to duty in the fortifications on the south side of the Potomac, where it remained until its term of enlistment expired. Preparatory to the muster out, the veterans and recruits were organized in a battalion of five companies under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hart. The rest of the regiment left Washington on the 23d of September and arrived at Philadelphia on the 25th, where it was quartered at the Volunteer Refreshment Saloon. On the 27th the city authorities gave it a formal reception, when it paraded on the prin- cipal streets, and on the 30th it was mustered out of service.


The battalion under Colonel Hart, moved from Washington to Harper's Ferry, whence, with the brigade of Colonel Heine, it was dispatched to escort a train of six hundred wagons to Sheridan's Army at Harrisonburg. As the army fell back towards Winchester, Heine's Brigade guarded the pass through the mountains near Front Royal. It was subsequently detached and placed in charge of a train destined for Martinsburg. While at the latter place loading the train, occurred the battle of Cedar Mountain, the roar of the artillery being distinctly heard. A detachment which had come up after the train had left, in number about equal to a company, participated in the battle

under Captain Kephart, having five wounded. About the first of November a brigade, of whien Hart's Battalion formed part, was ordered to Philadelphia, where it remained until after the general election. It then returned to Win- chester, where, soon after its arrival Lieutenant Colonel Hart was mustered out, his term having expired, and Captain Kephart, who was afterwards pro- moted to Lieutenant Colonel, took command.


On the 22d of November, Heine's Brigade was ordered to join the Army of the Potomae, and was stationed on its arrival on the Bermuda front on the centre of the line between the Appomattox and the James. Here it remained during the winter, and participated in the dangers and hardships ineident to the siege. Early in the spring of 1865, five new companies were added, bring- ing the battalion up to the full strength of a regiment, of which Lieutenant Colonel Kephart was commissioned Colonel, Captain J. M'Donald Laughlin, Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain T. B. Searborough, Major. In the assault upon the works in front of Petersburg, on the 3d and 4th of April, the regiment participated, and upon the rout of the rebel army, followed in pursuit as far as Chesterfield Station. From this point it returned to Petersburg, where it remained on duty until the 20th of April, when it was ordered to Fortress Monroe, and, after a halt of four days, to Norfolk. Here it was attached to the command of General Gordon, and was engaged in guarding the forts and harbor-prison, and in provost duty in the town. Subsequently Colonel Kep- hart, with a part of his regiment, was ordered to duty at Portsmouth, where on the 25th of August it was finally mustered out. During the last year of its service, by a system of economy in the management of the bakery of the regiment, there had aeeumulated a fund of nearly two thousand dollars. Be- fore leaving Washington, in September, 1864, to return home and receive their discharge, by a vote of the enlisted men, to whom the fund belonged, and by the consent of the Secretary of War, a council of administration, of whom Col- onel Davis was at the head, was authorized to appropriate sixteen hundred dollars of this fund for the ereetion of a monument to the memory of those who had fallen. This monument * has since been ereeted in the publie square at Doylestown, and was dedicated with appropriate ceremonies on the 30th of May, 1868, on which occasion Major General William H. Emory delivered a commemorative address.


*"The design is chaste and beautiful, with sufficient ornamentation to make it attractive. The proportions are as nearly as may be to those of Cleopatra's Needle. Its height is thirty- four feet from the ground. The base is nine feet square at the surface, and six feet at the height of three feet. The first bloc' above the base is Maine Granite, six feet square and two feet thick. and weighs twelve thousand pounds. All above this is American White marble. The shaft is nineteen feet long, in one block. The inscription is brief. On the obverse of the die is a large bronze shield with raised figures in gilt,

On the reverse is the date,

On the west front,


Their good swords rust, And their steeds are dust, But their souls arc with the saints, we trust.


On the east front is the following inscription :


To the memory of the officers and men of the 104th Pennsylvania Regiment who fell in the late war.


On the shaft is cut the names of battles in which the regiment participated, running around it from top to bottom, like a wreath, beginning with Yorktown and ending with Richmond, Virginia."-Newspaper.
