mission. We looked to the right, and saw a grand sight. That part of the line had farther to go, and had not reached the works yet. They were moving on with a rush, struggling through briers, springing over dead comrades, crowding through gaps in the abattis, until at last, with decimated ranks, they climbed the works and captured the foe. Some rebel officers wanted to lay back on their dignity, and deliver their swords only to officers of equal rank. It was a poor time for dignity though, and some of the soldiers per- suaded them so, like a flash of lightning. The fighting was severe. The atmosphere was heavy, and the smoke hung just where it left the guns. We were on the extreme left of the line. I thought some balls were coming from the right, and suspected our own men were firing into us. A fellow just in front of me was ramming his gun, when a ball knocked two fingers off, and spattered the blood in my face. Got the men started to the right, and then we moved to the front again. We came to two batteries, twelve guns, parked. We had just got past them, when our line began falling back. They had met another line of works too strong for them. The corps took refuge behind the line captured. * * * Our brigade moved towards the left, and took its position on a little knoll, in a wood of small pine trees. The balls from the rebel skirmishers were flying thick. M'Callister, Grove, Ray, and I, were talking about the casualties of the day. I was facing the rebel line, and not fifty yards from their skirmishers. Having eaten nothing since supper, I took out my sugar poke to get a lump. As I loosed the string, a ball passed be- tween Grove and M'Calister. I felt myself twisted half way around, and bent double. I was jarred and blinded by the shock, and called Ray. He led me back until I recovered my sight. I was the fourth in the family who was shot in the cheek." The surprise of the rebel lines was complete. The weather favored the daring movement. A heavy mist hung low over all the hostile lines. But when the first had been carried, and the troops, elated by their suc- cess, were rushing on to the second, the enemy rallied, and hurrying reinforce- ments to the menaced point, and fighting desperately, were able to hold their own. The captures of men and material were very great, including two general officers. On the following day, the rebel leader made repeated attacks on the Union line, to wrest from the Second Corps his lost ground, but without suc- cess. On the 18th, Hancock again moved upon the rebel works at the point of his previous triumph, but without avail, the cnemy being strongly intrenched, and shielded by dense abattis. The loss of the regiment in these two engage- ments in front of Spottsylvania, was very heavy, amounting in killed, wounded, and missing, to over a hundred.
On the night of the 20th, the Second Corps quietly withdrew from the front, and commenced a grand flank movement followed by the rest of the army towards Richmond. On the 23d the corps crossed the North Anna, and took position on the left of the line, the enemy in front, strongly posted. Finding that he could not attack, but at a great disadvantage, Grant re-traced his steps, and moved on towards Cold Harbor. At Tolopotomy Creek the enemy was found strongly intrenched and dispositions were made to force him from his position. Hancock, who occupied the centre, succeeded in carrying the enemy's advanced line, but found his main position too strong to be over- come. In this engagement the One Hundred and Fortieth sustained some loss, Captain John F. M'Cullough being among the killed. Arriving at Cold Harbor, or rather the old battle-ground of Gaines' Mill, the enemy was found occupy-

ing the identical ground which M'Clellan had held in that memorable battle, the Union force approaching as had the enemy then. As soon as the army was in position, a general attack was ordered along the whole line. Hancock occupied the extreme left, stretching out towards the Chickahominy. The di- vision to which the One Hundred and Fortieth belonged, commanded by General Barlow, was formed in two lines, and promptly advanced to the at- tack. The enemy was driven, and a part of his works captured ; but rallying, he recovered his lost ground, inflicting a severe blow in return. A position was, however, held close up to the enemy's works, and securely fortified. The One Hundred and Fortieth suffered severely here, its aggregate loss since leaving Spottsylvania being about seventy.
About the middle of June the army crossed the James, and approached the city of Petersburg. On the afternoon of the 16th, a general attack was made on the enemy's lines, before which he recoiled, withdrawing to his in- trenched line on Cemetery Hill. On the following day, the attack was re- newed by the Second Corps, and some ground gained, but no decisive advan- tage. On this day, Lieutenant Andrew M. Purdy, while in charge of the skir- mish line, was killed. Captains Samuel Campbell, and Charles L. Linton, were among the wounded. Failing to capture the place by direct assault, works for a gradual approach were commenced. On the 21st, the Second and Sixth corps were sent to the left, as far as the Jerusalem Plank Road, where a position was taken and fortified. But the enemy, in heavy force, coming upon a fatal break between the lines of these corps, crushed through, and caused much confusion to Barlow's Division, by which it sustained considerable loss. A line was finally established, against which the enemy in vain beat. Until near the close of July, the command was kept busy in fortifying. On the 26th, a movement was inaugurated to the north side of the James, for a demonstration in favor of the attack to be made upon the springing of the Mine. Crossing the Appomattox and the James, it moved out to a position occupied by the Nineteenth Corps. Skirmishing opened at day-break of the 28th, and the brigade charged the enemy's works, capturing prisoners and four Parrott guns. On the 30th, the corps returned to the Petersburg front; but the attack upon the explosion of the Mine resulting disastrously, it again crossed the James, and on the evening of the 14th of August, reached Deep Bot- tom. On the morning of the 15th, the rebel works were carried by Birney's Di- vision, and captures made, the line approaching within a few miles of Richmond. On the 20th, the corps returned to its place in front of Petersburg, but on the following morning moved to the support of troops operating upon the Weldon Railroad, and at Ream's Station was attacked by a superior force of the enemy, but succeeded, by desperate fighting, in re-gaining a portion of his lost ground. Captain James M. Pipes was severely wounded, losing an arm.
In the subsequnt operations of the corps during the fall and winter the regiment bore a part, being hotly engaged in front of Petersburg on the 9th of September ; in the general movement of the 27th of October ; suffering much from inclemency of the weather in the expedition to Hatcher's Run from the 8th to 10th of December; and in that to Dabney's Mills from the 5th to 7th of February, 1865. Apart from these, it remained undisturbed in winter-quarters, until the opening of the spring campaign, on the 25th of March. On that day the Second Corps made an advance upon the rebel lines at Hatcher's Run, and a portion of his works, designed to cover the South Side Railroad, was

carried. In this assault Captain John F. Wilson was mortally wounded. For four days the fighting was continued on this part of the line, the corps making daily some substantial advance, Miles' Division executing a brilliant move at Sutherland's Station, on the 2d of April, whereby extensive captures of men and materials were made. The corps was again engaged on the 6th, at Sailor's Creek, and on the 7th, at Farmville, fought its last battle. In this engagement an assaulting column led by General Miles was bloodily repulsed, Captain Samuel S. Kerr and Lieutenant William J. Cunningham were killed. Night put an end to the contest, and under cover of the darkness the enemy withdrew. Two days later Lee surrendered. Hostile operations were soon after concluded, and returning to the neighborhood of Washington, the regi- ment, on the 31st of May, was mustered out of service.
