Until the elose of the month manœuvring, marehing, and fighting eon- tinued, the regiment sustaining some loss in killed and wounded almost daily, but without marked results. On the 3d of June it arrived in front of Cold Harbor, and with the division captured the enemy's front line. The charge was gallantly made, but having no support, and being attacked by a heavy force well posted in his second line, and by batteries from forts which enfiladed the position, the line was compelled to fall back a short distance, where it fell to fortifying and successfully held its ground against every attempt of the enemy to drive it out. Lieutenant Jacob S. Lander was instantly killed by a shell from one of the rebel forts. The division suffered severely. One of the bri- gade commanders was killed, and two wounded. Colonel Beaver, accordingly, sueeeeded to the command of the Third Brigade, and Major Forster to that of the regiment. Failing to break the enemy's lines, the army again made a flank movement to the left, and erossing the Chickahominy and the James, eame upon the enemy's works in front of Petersburg, on the morning of the 16th. An advanee was at once ordered, but was, for some reason, delayed until evening. At six o'clock the line went gallantly to work, but was re- pulsed with grievous slaughter. Colonel Beaver was severely wounded. Color Sergeant Wood, being far in advance when the retreat eommeneed, see- ing that he could not eseape capture, buried his flag in the sand, where it was found the next day, and brought off. Sergeant Cochrane had a narrow escape with the regimental eolors, but brought them in safely an hour after the regi- ment had halted. On the 17th, the division again advaneed, under a heavy fire, through the enemy's first line, and on the 18th, he abandoned his works and fell back to a new position. Major Forster, while acting as offieer of the day, was severely wounded.


On the 21st, the Second Corps joined in a movement upon the Jerusalem

Plank Road, and gained a position, where it established a fortified line. But the enemy, watchful for an advantage, discovered a break, and penetrating, struek heavily, eausing mueh disorder in Barlow's Division. In this unfortu- nate affair, Colonel Fraser, who was in command of the Third Brigade, with a number of his men, was captured. Captain Jaeob B. Edmonds was killed, Lieutenants Harper and Beirly were wounded, the latter mortally, and Captain John A. Bayard was taken prisoner. On the 28th of July, the Second Corps engaged the enemy across the James, in the vicinity of Deep Bottom, gain- ing some advantage, and taking several guns. On the 14th of August, a por- tion of the corps again crossed the James, and was warmly engaged at Straw- berry Plains. It returned on the 20th, but was immediately pushed out upon the Weldon Railroad. At a little after noon, of the 25th, the regiment was hurried away to Ream's Station. Seareely had it arrived, when the enemy emerged from the wood in front, and moved in excellent order upon the Union works, but receiving a deliberate and destructive fire, he fell back. Theregiment was then deployed as skirmishers, and ordered to advanee and ascertain the enemy's position. A few hundred yards in front he was found in two lines of battle, eoneealed in a thiek wood, preparing to assault. The regiment retired, but had hardly gained its place in the works, when his eharging eolumn again emerged from the woods in heavy foree. A deadly fire was opened upon him along the whole line, and he again turned back. An hour later, after having delivered a terrific artillery fire, which lasted for half an hour, a third time he advaneed to the assault. He came on in double column elosed in mass. "Troops never marched," says an eye witness, " with a firmer step or a more unwavering front. Great gaps were torn through their ranks, but they elosed again and again, and continued to advanee, notwithstanding their terrible loss, until they had finally gained the outer edge of the works. Here the struggle became desperate. Men engaged hand to hand, and the bayonet did its deadly work." Though manfully defended, the position had to be yielded before the overwhelming pressure which was brought to bear upon it, and the division fell baek. The regiment's loss was very severe. Lieutenant David G. Ralston was among the killed. Colonel Beaver, who had been absent since the 16th of June, on account of wounds then received, and had returned and assumed command just in time to go into the battle, was severely wounded, losing a leg.


Upon its return to its position before Petersburg the regiment was placed on duty at Fort Haskell, subsequently at Fort Steadman and Battery No. 10. By an order of the War Department it was directed that one regiment in each division should be armed with Spencer repeating rifles. General Hancock designated the One Hundred and Forty-eighth to receive them on the part of the First Division, and on the 6th of October the arms were delivered. On the 27th of October, General Miles, who commanded the division, ordered a detachment of one hundred men from this regment, under Captain J. Z. Brown, to assault a portion of the enemy's line in his front. Having formed his men for the desperate work, just at dusk he dashed forward, thrust aside the dense abattis, drove in the opposing pickets, and sealed the ramparts, earrying a strong work, capturing four commissioned officers and more men than he had led to the eneounter. The enemy rallying and turning his artillery upon it from, the other forts, finally compelled him to retire, occasioning considerable

loss .* For his gallant conduct Captain Brown was highly commended and brevetted Major. During the winter the regiment was engaged in garrisoning Forts Sampson, Gregg, and Cummings.


Upon the opening of the spring campaign of 1865, the regiment moved with the brigade, on the 25th of March, and participated in the action at Hatcher's Run, and on the 31st at Adams' Farm. On the 2d of April it moved five miles through the enemy's lines, and came upon the South Side Railroad at Sutherland's Station, the First Division in advance, where the rebel forces were found well posted and determined to make a stand. The Second. Brigade led, supported by the Fourth, and as it approached the enemy's well. chosen position he opened a terrific fire which checked its advance, killing and wounding large numbers. Seeing the disaster, General Miles detached the One Hundred and Forty-eighth, and deploying as skirmishers, he ordered it' to advance. With Captain Sutton in command of the right wing, and Captain. Harper of the left, it moved resolutely forward, and by a skillfully executed manœuvre, flanked the enemy's works and opened a well directed and mur- derous enfilading fire from the repeating rifles. Stunned by the suddenness and severity of the blow nearly an entire brigade threw down its arms and) surrendered, Major Ulmer of the Fourth North Carolina surrendering his sword and pistol to Captain Harper. On the following day General Miles is- sued an order commending the gallant conduct of the regiment, announcing the result of the charge to be seven hundred prisoners, two pieces of artil- lery, and two flags.


On the 3d the regiment was detailed to forage for the division and rendered efficient service. On the 7th, it participated in the battle at Farmville, and in the closing movements of the campaign. After the surrender it returned to the neighborhood of Alexandria, and on the 3d of June was mustered out of. service.


* When the party was forced to retire, Private William H. Kellerman was cut off and was unable to regain the Union lines. Determined not to be captured he concealed himself in some low bushes, and the enemy advanced his videttes inclosing him and completely shutting him off from all hope of escape. For eight days he remained concealed, subsisting on roots and bark within his reach. The cold was so intense that his feet were badly frozen and his limbs were almost paralyzed; but still he would not surrender. On the evening of the eighth day the enemy was late in posting his videttes, and Kellerman, taking advantage of the grow> ing darkness, succeeded in crawling and rolling himself outside of the rebel line, and was rescued. By careful nursing and medical treatment he was revived and restored. General Meade, admiring his fortitude, gave him a thirty days' furlough.
