INDEPENDENT BATTERY D. (DURELL'S.)
VYHIS battery was recruited in the counties of Berks and Bucks, and was organized at Doylestown, on the 24th of September, 1861, with George W. Durell, as Captain, Lemuel Greis and Howard M'Ilvain, First Lieutenants, and George W. Silvis and Christopher Loeser, Second Lieutenants. On the 6th of November, it was ordered to Washington, where, upon its arrival, it re- eeived four ten-pound Parrott guns, and horses and equipments for a six gun battery, and encamped east of the Capitol. On the 18th of December, it erossed the Potomac, and encamped on Munson's Hill, where it was assigned to M'Dow- ell's Division, and where two additional pieces were provided. In the fruitless advanee upon Manassas, on the 10th of March, 1862, the battery was with the leading column, and upon its return, encamped midway between Alexandria and Bailey's Cross Roads. With King's Division of M'Dowell's Corps, it moved by Bristoe Station, and Catlett's to Falmouth, opposite Fredericksburg, arriving on the 18th of April. When Jackson made his successful campaign down the Shenandoah Valley, the battery made a forced march with the corps to Thoroughfare Gap, to intercept him on his retreat; but arrived too late to effect that purpose, and returned again to Falmouth, where, for a period of two months, it was instructed and drilled.
On the 12th of August, it was assigned to the Second Division of the Ninth Corps, and immediately marched with it to the assistance of Pope, who was now being vigorously pushed by the overpowering forces of Lee. At Kelly's Ford, on the 21st, it was for the first time brought into action. The left sec- tion became first engaged, and for half an hour exchanged rapid shots with the rebel guns. The whole battery, flanked by a regiment of Buford's Cavalry, then went into action, and after delivering about forty rounds, drove the enemy from his position. At night, it retired across the river, and on the fol- lowing morning, moved on towards Warrenton, the centre section supporting Buford's Cavalry for a day and a night. On the morning of the 27th, just upon the eve of the second battle of Bull Run, it was assigned for duty to the divi- sion of General Hooker, who was moving to meet the enemy under Jackson, then upon the rear of the Union army. At Bristoe Station, brisk skirmishing with the infantry opened, and was maintained for a few hours, when the bat- tery was ordered up, and aided by a Rhode Island battery, succeeded in driv- ing the enemy from three successive positions, and finally out of sight towards Manassas Junction. One horse was killed in this engagement. On the morn-" ing of the 28th, it moved to the Junetion, and at night, to Centreville. On the 29th, it advaneed across Bull Run, and when the battle began to rage with great violence, went into position a half mile to the right and front of the Stone

Hospital. Until near night of the 30th, it remained in this position, and until the left of the line had been forced back, and the enemy's shots began to tell upon its left flank. One gun was dismounted, two horses killed, and one man wounded, when, finding that the ground was untenable, it was ordered to re- tire. A new position, a few hundred yards in its rear, was taken up, and fire opened at long range, but at the end of twenty minutes, it was again ordered back and retired to Centreville. During the 31st, it remained in the fortifica- tions, and on the evening of the following day participated in the short, but bloody battle of Chantilly, where it was the only battery, save one, engaged.
On the 2d of September, the battery proceeded to the Washington Arsenal, where it was re-fitted and fully equipped, and shortly afterwards moved on the Maryland campaign. " At three P. M., on the 13th," says Lieutenant Rhoads, " we went into position, near the top of South Mountain. We were very successful in this engagement, had good ammunition, twice silenced and drove off a rebel battery, and harassed the rebel infantry as they advanced on our troops on the right of our position, firing from our six guns about two hundred and fifty rounds. The next day, we moved after the enemy, toward Antietam. On the morning of the 17th, we were shelled out of camp at daylight, and im- mediately went into position, and opened fire in reply. At nine A. M., we were ordered to the rear of Stone Bridge, No. 3, nearly opposite Sharpsburg, and just before General Hartranft took the bridge, our centre section moved near to the bridge, and followed closely the General's infantry across. This sec- tion was soon after joined by the rest of the battery, and the whole went into position at a point about nine hundred yards from the rebel guns opposed to us, which we engaged whenever they opened, at short intervals, for upwards of two hours, and only retired when we got out of projectiles, and were ordered back, the general commanding us, not deeming it advisable to allow our cais- sons to cross the bridge to bring up a supply of ammunition. This was the most desperate engagement, I think, and at shortest range, which our battery was in. Our loss was two men dangerously wounded; several of our horses dropped down in their harness from exhaustion, and had to be left on the field."
After the return of the army into Virginia, the battery moved with the corps, and on the 10th of November, was present in the affair at Amissville, but did not become engaged. On the 15th, at Sulphur Springs, it was brought into action, and for upwards of an hour answered a hot fire of the enemy, expend- ing over three hundred rounds. Lieutenant M'Ilvaine was mortally, and one man severely wounded in this engagement. In the battle of Fredericksburg, in December, the battery was brought early into action, but at long range, and sustained no loss.
When the Ninth Corps was sent west, near the close of March, 1863, the battery accompanied it, and was for some time stationed at Paris, Mount Ster- ling, and Crab Orchard, Kentucky. Early in June, the corps was ordered to Vicksburg, to the support of Grant's army, and embarked at Lexington on the 6th of June. On the 15th, it passed up the Yazoo River, and landing at a point about twelve miles in rear of Vicksburg, took up a position facing Jack- son, in readiness to meet the enemy, should he attempt to raise the siege. On the 4th of July, immediately after the fall of Vicksburg, it moved out towards Jackson, arriving before the town on the 10th. The battery was brought into position, and for several days kept up a steady fire on the place, sending a

shell cvery ten minutes. Johnston finally retired before the forces of Sher- man, and the battery with the corps, returned to its camp upon the Yazoo. About the middle of August, the corps returned to Covington, Kentucky, where the battery, much reduced, was left in camp, the corps proceeding on its campaign, in East Tennessee. When the battery left Kentucky for Vicks- burg, it was in excellent condition, numbering one hundred and twenty strong, having arms, accoutrements, and horses well supplied, and all in the highest state of efficiency. Upon its return, after an absence of a little more than two months, ten of its number had died, about forty were sick in hospital, and of those who were in camp, only some twenty or thirty werc fit for duty. The loss among the horses was even greater than among the men. About half of the entire number had died, and of those that remained, but a small number were serviceable.
The battery remained at Covington, until the spring of 1864. At one time, during the winter, a rumor prevailed that an attempt was to be made by the enemy, and by those sympathizing with him, to rescue rebel prisoners confined on Johnson's Island, Lake Erie, near Sandusky, whereupon all the available men of the battery were sent thither, to meet the threatened danger, remain- ing at Sandusky until ample forces had been collected for the safe keeping of the prisoners. In April, it was sent to Washington, where it was re-fitted. Recruits were here received in sufficient numbers to give it its original strength, and an entire new battery of ten-pound Parrott guns. Upon the opening of operations in the spring of 1864, it again marched with the corps, being at- tached to the Fourth Division, and during the Wilderness campaign covered the wagon-train. About the middle of June, it arrived before Petersburg, and was at once put upon the front. Upon the occasion of springing the mine, on the 30th of July, it was posted in Fort Morton, and kept up a ceaseless fire. A month later, it was engaged at Pegram's Farm, and during the subsequent operations before the beleaguered city, occupied at various times Forts Mi- chael, Sedgwick, Stephenson, Blaisdell, Patrick Kelly, and other minor works. In September, Captain Durell was honorably discharged, and Lieutenant Rhoads was promoted to succeed him. When the final attack on the defenses of Petersburg was made, on the morning of the 2d of April, 1865, by Hart- ranft's command, the entire battery of six guns was brought to bear upon the rebel works, and when these had been carried, detachments from the battery were sent forward to turn the captured guns upon the flying enemy. After the evacuation of the city, which immediately followed, it moved with the corps along the South Side Railroad, as far as Wilson's Station, but upon the sur- render of Lee, returned to City Point, and thence to Alexandria. It was mus- tered out of service at Philadelphia, on the 13th of June, 1865.
