Near Kelly's Ford the brigade encamped, and remained until the 24th, when it marehed away, leaving comfortable quarters, to Mitchell's Station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. It was here on the extreme outpost of the army, facing the rebel camps, where large details for picket and guard were required, and where it was regarded with special interest at headquarters on account of its exposed position. Permanent winter-quarters were established near by, and during the winter many deserters came in from the enemy, and the post was frequently visited by parties of civilians eager to catch a glimpse of a rebel encampment. In the transformation of corps which occurred, the Second Division of the First Corps became the Second Division of the Fifth, General Robinson in command of the division, General Warren of the corps. In February, 1864, nearly the entire regiment re-enlisted; but for more than a month afterwards it was kept upon its arduous duty. Finally, on the 1st of April, the order for a veteran furlough was received, and it returned to Penn- sylvania, where for a month the men enjoyed the pleasures of home, which many had not visited for two years. Re-assembling at Harrisburg, it started for the front on the 9th of May, and at Washington embarked on transports for Belle Plain, arriving on the evening of the 13th. Here thousands of wounded from the battle grounds of the Wilderness and long columns of prisoners were met. The regiment reached Fredericksburg on the 15th and was detained un- til the following day to escort a train to the army.

In the front line near Spottsylvania Court House, under the guns of the enemy, the brigade was met on the 16th of May, and the regiment was soon settled in position. General Robinson had a few days previous lost a leg in battle and had been succeeded in command by General Cutler. Shortly after withdrawing from this position the enemy attacked, and took some prisoners, among whom was Captain Green. At Jericho Ford, on the North Anna, the enemy was again encountered and heavy shirmishing ensued, which finally grew to a fierce battle, lasting till after dark, and resulting in the complete de- feat of Hill's Corps. Until the army reached the James the regiment was al- most constantly under fire, at times heavily engaged, and threw up, in the meantime, innumerable lines of earthworks, at which duty the men became very expert. The following extract from an officer's diary for June 1st and

2d, illustrates the character of the duty : "Advanced upon the enemy to-day two miles, in doing which we threw up four different lines of works. In the night moved to the left about a mile, and worked most of the night in throw- ing up breast-works. The fighting continued nearly all night, and this morning the skirmishing in front is quite brisk. In the afternoon the enemy charged on our right." As the left flank of the army swept past Richmond in its ap- proach to the James, the utmost vigilance was required in guarding it from attack on the numerous roads leading out from the rebel capital. Early in the day, on the 13th, the regiment was ordered upon the front line and gallantly repulsed a spirited attack. At evening it was ordered upon the march, which continued through the whole night, arriving in the morning near Charles City Court House. In acknowledgment of its gallantry iu defending its position on the 13th, so vital to the safety of the moving trains, the following communica- tion directed to Colonel M'Coy, was issued by General Crawford, now in com- mand of the corps : " The General commanding expresses his satisfaction at the efficient manner in which you, and the officers and men of your command, per- formed the part assigned you on the 13th instant, in effectually holding your position without support."

After crossing the James the regiment moved with the corps hastily in the direction of Petersburg, where considerable fighting and captures of works had already occurred, and at dark on the 17th of June again came under fire. The enemy's lines were charged, but with little success, and the fighting was kept up nearly the entire night. On the following morning it was discovered that he had fallen back, and the troops were immediately pushed forward. His main line of works was located on high ground, three hundred yards beyond Suffolk Railroad, and his guns completely commanded the space to be crossed in reaching them. The division skirmish line, under command of Major Sheafer, was put in motion and pushing rapidly forward over the dead bodies of both armies which covered the ground, soon had possession of the railroad-cut. Supports were sent forward, and the skirmishers were again pushed out close to the rebel works, where in ritle-pits they commenced pick- ing off the enemy's gunners and completely driving out his skirmishers, who attempted to occupy the front. In this advance Captain Matthews and Lieu- tenant Williams were wounded, and several men were killed and wounded. Soon afterwards the division was withdrawn to a point near the Wilkins House, where a permanent line was established and fortified. Until the 24th the regiment remained on this line, the enemy keeping up a constant fire night and day, and lost forty-five men in killed and wounded. At this date the di- vision was relieved by troops of the Ninth Corps, and moved to the Jerusalem Plank Road. The men were immediately set to digging, and remained until past the middle of August, constructing in the meantime a large fort known at the time as Fort Warren, but subsequently as Fort Davis.

On the 18th of August the corps made a descent upon the Weldon Railroad. At Yellow House the enemy's pickets were driven in, but he soon made his appearance in force, and the regiment was thrown forward as skirmishers to meet him, the fighting becoming general and lasting into the night. The road was held, and under cover of darkness breast-works were thrown up. At two P. M., ou the following day, an attack was made by the enemy on the right of the corps with partial success. Again at four he made another attack, in which he succeeded in flanking Crawford's Division, right and left, compelling it to

fall back, and in the confusion taking many prisoners, the One Hundred and Seventh losing six officers and one hundred and forty-five men. Colonel M'Coy, Major Sheafer, Captain Hemphill, and Lieutenant Stair, succeeded in making their escape through the enemy's lines. Private Solomon Hottenstein with three hundred others of the division, while prisoners under guard of part of a North Carolina regiment, suddenly rose, demanded the surrender of their guard, seized their colors, and forced them to yield, bringing them all into the Union lines. For this act of gallantry Private Hottenstein received a fur- lough of thirty days, and a medal of honor from the Secretary of War. The officers captured, Captains Roath and Zeigler, and Lieutenants Shuler, Huff, and Beamenderfer, were confined in Libby Prison, subsequently at Salisbury, and finally, with the exception of IIuff, at Danville, not being released until near the close of the campaign in 1865. Huff, while on his way from Sa- lisbury to Danville, escaped from the cars in full motion, and after great suffering and exposure, reached the Union lines in West Virginia, whence he returned and re-joined his regiment. The privates were confined, first at Belle Isle, and afterwards at Salisbury, suffering all the horrors of captivity until released by death, or by the victorious legions of Grant and Sherman. The aggregate loss of the regiment was one hundred and fifty-eight.

The new line gained, three miles in extent, was thoroughly fortified under the direction of General Warren. On account of the losses sustained in this movement, the troops remaining of Robinson's old division, were consolidated in one brigade under General Henry Baxter, constituting the Second Brigade of the Third Division. Two days after this change, the brigade made an im- portant reconnoissance to Poplar Grove Church, which resulted in considerable skirmishing, but little loss. After its return, four regiments of the brigade, un- der Colonel M'Coy, were posted in and about Fort Wadsworth, upon the front line, on the Weldon Railroad. The enemy immediately attacked, but finding it strongly garrisoned withdrew. While here three hundred recruits were re- ceived. They were placed in charge of Lieutenant John F. Williams, and after a few weeks drill, became excellent soldiers. During the movement of the corps to Poplar Grove Church, on the 30th of September, and that to Hatcher's Run, on the 26th of October, the important duty of holding the line of forts and intrenchments which it left, extending nearly four miles, was entrusted to Bax- ter's Brigade, the One Hundred and Seventh occupying Fort Wadsworth in the first, and Fort Warmsdon in the second. Upon being withdrawn from the latter, the regiment was posted at Fort Dushane, near Ream's Station. On the 7th of December, it joined in the expedition for the further destruction of the Weldon Railroad. When arrived upon the ground the regiment was formed in line and across the road running parallel with the railroad, in sup- port of a small body of cavalry, to hold the approaches, while other troops were engaged in destroying the road. At dusk it was ordered out to aid in the work of destruction, which was continued until the evening of the following day. Upon the return of the corps, Baxter's Brigade had the rear of the infantry. After marching two hours the column halted for rest, the brigade having just emerged from a piece of wood. Just as it was resuming the march a body of the enemy's horse charged on a small squadron of Union cavalry, driving them through the wood into the infantry lines. Throwing his men into line on either side of the road, Baxter poured in upon the rebels a raking fire, emptying sad- dles, and causing them to beat a hasty retreat. The One Hundred and Sev-

enth was thrown to the left of the road, and did good execution. After reach- ing camp the regiment was ordered into winter-quarters and was soon settled in comfortable huts.

On the 5th of February, 1865, the Fifth Corps made another descent upon the enemy's right flank, which extended to Dabney's Mills. At the moment of moving the One Hundred and Seventh was transferred from the Second to the Third Brigade, General Morrow commanding. Arriving at daylight at a point on the Vaughan Road, from which the Second Corps had driven the enemy, the divisions were formed with Gregg's Cavalry, and at two in the after- noon the Third Division was ordered to move upon the enemy's lines. Pass- ing to the west side of Hatcher's Run it marched towards Dabney's Mills, by which the rebel fortifications run, the First Brigade in front, the Third sup- porting, and drove in the rebel skirmishers, capturing his first line of rifle-pits. Advancing across these, the First Brigade came to an open field, where it was charged upon and driven in, retreating through the ranks of the Third Brigade, and carrying back some of its men. With great difficulty the line was steadied, and as the enemy came upon the open field, an effective fire was poured upon him, causing him to halt. The Third Brigade, which had now become the first line, with a cheer charged across the open field, and into the wood beyond, driving the foe back to his chief line of works at the mills. He now brought his artillery to bear, and as the division had none npon the front with which to answer, and its ammunition nearly exhausted, it was obliged to fall back before a fresh charge of the enemy, reinforced and rejoicing in his strength. At this juncture General Morrow, while gallantly leading, with brigade flag in hand, was struck from his horse by a rifle ball, and turned over the command to Colonel M'Coy, Major Sheafer assuming command of the regiment. Retiring to the works from which the advance had been made, it rested for the night. On the following day it again advanced with the brigade, and drove the enemy ; but a part of the line coming under a hot artillery fire, gave way, and was forced back a short distance. The One Hundred and Seventh held its ground and kept up a hot fire until dark, when the troops that had been temporarily forced back, returned and formed to right and left of the regiment. The loss in the engagement was six killed, fifty-one wounded, and thirty-three taken prisoners. The flag-staff was shot off in this engagement. The weather was intensely cold, causing great suffering. The ground gained by this move- ment had to be fortified and held, and the regiment in the transfer of troops for this purpose, was obliged for a third time to erect winter-quarters. On the 8th of March, Major Sheafer was mustered out of service, and Captain Edwin E. Zeigler was promoted to succeed him.

On the 29th, the regiment broke camp for the final movement by the left, and re-joining its brigade, from which it had been separated since the begin- ning of February, marched with it for the Quaker Road. At the Boydton Road the enemy was met, and after a brisk engagement was driven, posses- sion of this road being secured, and the enemy prevented from flanking the command. For two days the fighting was brisk, but finally resulted in driv- ing the enemy, and gaining possession of the White Oak Road. On the 1st of April the movement was resumed, and at Five Forks, where Sheridan had preceded it, the corps came upon the enemy. By three o'clock in the after- noon the line was formed and ready to advance. With resistless power it swept on through woods and thickets, and over swamps and swift streams for

a distance of three miles, and until darkness put an end to the fighting. The enemy's spirit was broken; but still he kept a bold front, and whenever brought to bay fought with his old desperation, until finally hemmed in on all sides, and seeing no way of escape, he surrendered on the 9th near Appomattox Court House.

Remaining until the rebel army had been paroled, and the captured pro- perty disposed of, the regiment marched to Burkesville, and after a brief stay was ordered to duty in guarding the South Side Railroad, near Nottoway Court House. On the first of May the corps commenced the homeward march, pass- ing through Petersburg and Richmond, and finally encamping at Ball's Cross Roads, opposite Washington. In the great review of the armies on the 23d of May the regiment participated, and on the 13th of July was finally mustered out of service.
