On the 21st, the battery was brought down to Rappahannock Bridge, and ordered to cross to the south bank, to the assistance of Captain Mathews, of the First Pennsylvania Artillery, who was being hard pressed by the enemy. As soon as Captain Thompson could get his guns into position, Mathews re- tired, and fire was opened, skirmishing being kept up during the entire day. On the following day there was occasional firing, but without loss. At day- light on the 22d, the battery was ordered to retire across the railroad bridge, fears being entertained for its safety, on account of a sudden rise of the water. The howitzers moved with Hurtsuff's Brigade, and effected a crossing; but as the Parrotts were about to follow, the enemy made his appearance, and opened 55-VOL. V.

upon them. Captain Thompson replied, causing the enemy to frequently change his position. Soon two brigades of infantry made their appearance, and upon these Thompson turned a part of his guns, keeping up a fire also upon the enemy's artillery. At the moment when the ammunition was ex- hausted, an order was received to retire across the bridge, which order was successfully executed. The enemy came rapidly up, and soon made his ap- pearanee on the little eminence which had just been abandoned ; but a few shells from the howitzers sent him back.


Jackson finally turned the right of Pope, and came in upon his rear. To check Longstreet, who was following hard upon the footsteps of Jackson, and if pos- sible divide the rebel army, Ricketts was ordered to Thoroughfare Gap. On nearing the Gap, Captain Thompson found the road through the woods ob- structed. By the aid of the pioneers of the Ninth New York, the obstruc- tions were eleared away, Captain Mathews having taken position with his bat- tery in advance. General Ricketts ordered Captain Thompson to eross the ereek with two guns, if practicable, and take position on the opposite side. This was effected, and a fire opened upon the enemy at three hundred yards distance. The skirmishers, who were in advance, were soon after obliged to retire, leaving the guns exposed to a severe fire from the rebel sharp-shooters, posted in trees and behind rocks. Seeing this, an order was sent to Thompson to retire with his guns, which he succeeded in doing, with the loss of two men wounded, one missing, and one horse killed. The division retired at night towards New Market, the battery acting as rear guard upon the march.


During the fieree fighting at Bull Run on the 30th, the battery was ordered into position on the right of the line occupied by the corps, and at ten A. M., opened a sharp fire from the Parrott guns upon a rebel battery, posted in rear of woods opposite the centre, which was engaged in throwing shells with deadly effect. Captain Thompson had not been long in action, before the enemy brought a six gun battery to bear upon his right flank, subjecting him to a severe eross-fire. Seeing that his position was untenable, and that the enemy's infantry was preparing to charge for the capture of his guns, he withdrew and took position on the right of the line. At half-past three in the afternoon, the battery was again brought into action on the right of the artillery, on a line at right angles with Captain Mathews' Battery, with the design of delivering a eross-fire upon the rebel batteries. Soon the enemy's infantry was descried, advancing from the wood, and charging upon the guns on the erest in front. Captain Thompson at onee opened with grape and canister upon these advane- ing lines, and twice their colors were shot down. But the Union batteries were soon afterwards obliged to retire, their supports having been driven away, and in passing through the woods in his rear, Captain Thompson was flanked by the enemy's infantry, who opened a galling fire upon him, killing several of the draught horses, cutting down and capturing the drivers, and compelling him to abandon one Parrott and two howitzer guns, with limbers and horses. At the Stone Bridge aeross Bull Run, Captain Thompson took position with one of his guns, and in conjunction with guns of other batteries hurriedly co !- lected, covered the retreat, until all the Union forees had passed, when the bridge was destroyed by Colonel Kane, of the Buektails. He then retired with the three guns which he had saved, to Centreville. The loss was ten wounded, a part of whom fell into the enemy's hands. Lieutenant Stephenson was among the severely wounded. On the evening of September 1st, the bat-

tery was engaged in the fierce fighting at Chantilly, where it was supported by the Bucktails.


At the close of the campaign, the battery retired to Washington, and was immediately put upon the march through Maryland, to meet the enemy, who had crossed the Potomac, receiving four ten-pound rifled guns from the Bec- ond Maine, at Rockville, while on the march. In the battle at South Moun- tain, on the 14th, it was engaged, but sustained no loss. On the morning of the 17th of September, the battery was brought into position upon the field at Antietam, and went into action upon the right of the line, with Duryea's Bri- gade, replying to a rebel battery upon the right front. Finding that a bat- tery upon the left had gotten the exact range of his guns, Captain Thompson turned his fire upon it. "Immediately afterwards," says Captain Thompson, in his official report, "I was ordered to advance, when I selected a little knoll in the centre of a corn-field, and coming into action, I observed the enemy's infantry advancing from the woods to our right. I at once directed my fire on them, using three, two, and one and a-half second fuse as they advanced, but was unable to use canister, as many of our men retiring, wounded, got in front of my guns. Finding at length, the remnants of the brigade retiring- their ammunition exhausted-and the enemy already in the corn-field, within seventy-five yards of the battery, I retired to the rising ground in the centre of the grass-field, about two hundred yards in rear, and continued my fire. But finding that all of our division had gone, and that my men and horses were falling fast, I limbered up and moved off, just as fresh troops coming up, ob- liqued across the front of the battery into position for our relief." One gun had to be abandoned for a few moments, on account of the loss of horses, until other horses could return for it, when guns and limbers were brought off in safety. The loss was eleven men wounded, one mortally, and thirteen horses killed.


In the re-organization of the army which took place under General Burn- side, the battery was attached to the Second Division of the First Corps, with which it participated on the 13th of December, in the battle of Fredericksburg. At nine o'clock on the morning of that day, the corps having previously crossed the Rappahannock at the lower bridge, the battery was ordered into posi- tion in a corn-field to the right of the division, and opened fire upon the enemy, in the edge of the wood to the right, thus preventing him from flanking the division as it went forward. But a few rounds had been delivered, when the battery was ordered to advance closer, and to the right. From the new posi- tion, a rapid fire was directed upon the enemy's infantry, though it was sub- jected to a galling cross-fire from the enemy's guns. To these, Captain Thomp- son refused to reply, until the infantry of the division had been compelled to fall back, when he turned upon them and continued his fire until ordered back, succeeding in the meantime, in exploding one of the enemy's ammunition chests. The loss was two men wounded, and two horses killed. One gun, and one gun carriage were disabled.


When General Hooker commenced his Chancellorsville campaign, towards the close of April, 1863, the First Corps was again sent to the lower crossing of the Rappahannock. Captain Thompson took position with his battery at daylight on the 29th, near Purdy's Dam, to cover the troops while laying the pontoons, and the march in crossing. The fog was dense, but at seven A. M., twelve rounds were fired upon parties of the enemy, fourteen hundred yards

away. The following day was rainy, and quiet prevailed, until a little past five P. M., when the enemy opened with a battery of twenty-pounder Parrott guus upon the Union infantry, and Thompson promptly replied, and though subjected to a cross-fire, continued the contest until dark. The morning of the 2d of May, opened clear, and from cight, until half-past nine A. M., Captain Thompson engaged the enemy's batteries. At eleven, he moved with the corps for the support of Hooker at Chancellorsville, arriving at the front, and taking position on the right of the army line at two A. M .; but at cleven was relieved and ordered to join the reserve artillery. On the morning of the 5th, it re- crossed the river, and took position to cover the pontoon bridge, which was threatened by the enemy, who had approached from below. At daylight of the 6th, the enemy was discovered throwing up earth-works on an opposite eminence. Fire was opened upon him, to which lie answered with two twen- ty-four-pound howitzers, and several rifled guns posted to right and left. With the aid of Knap's Battery, Captain Thompson succeeded in blowing up the rebel caissons, silencing their guns, and compelling the gunners to run to cover of woods, leaving their pieces on the field. When the army had re- crossed the river, and the last of the pontoons had been taken up, the battery retired and returned to camp. The loss was one man killed, and three wounded. Three horses were also killed.


In this battle, Captain Hampton, who commanded Independent Battery F, was killed, and his battery seriously disabled. So much reduced in number had both batteries become, that on the 3d of June, a special order was issued consolidating the two under command of the senior officer, Captain Thompson. It was then directed to report to General Tyler, in command of the artillery reserve of the Army of the Potomac, and was by him assigned to M'Gilvery's Brigade. At five o'clock on the afternoon of the 2d of July, the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, the reserve artillery having come up in rear of the lines at Little Round Top, Colonel M'Gilvery ordered Captain Thompson to advance with his battery to the support of General Sickles, who was already engaged. It was accordingly brought into position at the angle of Sickles' line, in the Peach Orchard on the Emmettsburg Pike, two guns facing to the west, and four to the south, and for the space of an hour was desperately en- gaged with the enemy's infantry and artillery. The enemy then made a deter- mined advance, driving back the Union infantry, and leaving the battery without supports, at the same time capturing one of the guns facing to the west. The Union infantry, however, soon after rallied, and the gun was saved. The battery was then withdrawn a short distance, and again brought into action ; but the pressure became too great to withstand, the enemy gaining ground ra- pidly, and it again retired with the loss of one gun. The loss in this brief struggle was one killed, nine wounded, and four missing. Captain Thompson had one horse killed under him, and eighteen horses of the battery killed or wounded. During the night, horses were supplied in place of those lost, and at five o'clock on the morning of the 3d, it was again brought into position, on the left centre of the general line of battle, with battery K, Fourth United States, on its right, and Fifteenth New York, (Hart's,) on its Icft. The ground at this point was low, and the enemy's guns on the commanding position in front and to the left, bore heavily upon it. But this was a vital part of the line and had to be defended. During the progress of the fierce artillery duel in the afternoon, the battery suffered severely, but held its ground, and defi-

antly answered shot for shot. The loss on this day was fourteen wounded. Among these were Captains Thompson and Irish, and Lieutenants Stephenson, Hazlett, and Miller, the latter mortally. Special mention was made by Cap- tain Thompson, in his official report, of the gallant conduct of Sergeant Thomas Brown. Of private Casper R. Carlisle, he says: "When the four lead horses of one of the guns were killed, one wbeel horse badly wounded, and drivers also wounded, he assisted me to disengage the traces of the dead leaders, un- der a heavy fire of musketry, (in the action of the 2d instant,) and mounting one of the wheel horses, took the gun off the field, thereby saving it. I recom- mend that a medal be granted him for his conduct on this occasion, and sub- sequent good conduet on the 3d instant." Colonel M'Gilvery, says in his offi- cial report : "In conclusion, I feel it my duty to state, that the officers and men of my own brigade, and other batteries that served under me, during the two days' battle, behaved in the most gallant manner. * * * On the 2d of July, when the battle raged most furiously, Thompson's, C and F, Penn- sylvania Battery, contested every inch of ground, and remained on the field to the very last."


.


The battery was afterwards engaged in the affairs at Mitchell's Ford, on the 15th of October, at Mine Run, on the 27th of November, and at Morton's Ford, on the Rapidan, on the 6th of February, 1864, but sustained only trifling loss in either.


In the spring of 1864, a sufficient number of recruits had been received, to renew the organization of the two batteries, which was accordingly effected, and on the 5th of April they were ordered from Camp Hancock, near Brandy Station, where the command had been stationed during the winter, to Camp Barry, Washington, to re-fit and equip for active duty. They were, however, retained in the defenses north and south of Washington, and in the neighbor- hood of Harper's Ferry, until the 20th of June, 1865, when battery C was or- dered to Pittsburg, where; on the 30th, it was mustered out of service.
