INDEPENDENT BATTERY F. (HAMPTON'S.)
THIS battery was recruited at Pittsburg, in October, 1861, and organized at Williamsport, Maryland, to serve for three years, on the 7th of De- · cember, with the following officers: Robert B. Hampton, Captain; James P. Fleming and Nathaniel Irish, First Lieutenants; Alfred N. Harbours, Second Lieutenant. Soon after its organization, it was ordered to join the forces on the Upper Potomac, under command of Major General Banks. It ar- rived at the front on the 15th, and three days thereafter, was engaged with the enemy at Dam No. 5, and again on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of January, 1862, at Hancock, Maryland. On the 26th of February, it first crossed the Potomac, and with the forces of Banks, pushed the enemy, under Stonewall Jackson, as far as Edinburg, where, from the 5th to the 18th of April, brisk skirmishing was kept up. Finally, the enemy was driven again as far as Cross Keys, where the battery was engaged on the 26th. Banks was, however, obliged to retire before a superior force, but contested the ground stubbornly, as he went back, fighting at Middletown on the 24th, and at Winchester on the 25th, the battery in both engagements, rendering efficient service, and when the ground could be no longer held covered the retreat to the Potomac.
Jackson retreated precipitately as the Union forces gathered in the Valley to meet him, and the battery again advanced as far as Front Royal, where it remained until the middle of August. Lieutenant Joseph L. Miller here joined it with fifty men and two guns, it having been to this time only a four gun bat- tery. It then proceeded with Banks' army to meet the enemy upon the Rappa- hannock, the Peninsula campaign having terminated disastrously, and the le- gions of Lee swarming upon the Union front. Pope, who had been assigned to chief command, battled manfully to check and repel the rebel advance; but overborne by superior numbers, he was compelled to fall back towards Wash- ington. At Freeman's Ford on the 22d, at White Sulphur Springs on the 23d and 24th, at Waterloo on the 25th, in the fierce struggle at Bull Run on the 29th and 30th, at Chantilly on the 1st of September, and at Falls Church on the 2d, the battery was engaged, and gained the commendation of its superior officers for its efficiency.
Pope's disasters had scarcely ended, when the campaign in Maryland opened, and the battery, crossing the Potomac at Chain Bridge, was hurried forward to South Mountain, where, on the 14th, it participated in the battle which swept the enemy from the fastnesses of that mountain chain, and on the 16th and 17th, bore a prominent part in the battle of Antietam. After the enemy had been driven from Maryland, the battery was assigned to duty with the Twelfth Corps, commanded by General Slocum, and was stationed at Har-

per's Ferry, the corps remaining there, while the rest of the army moved on to the Rappahannock. In the affairs at Charlestown on the 9th of November, and at Winchester on the 2d of December, under General Geary, it was briskly engaged, and when, on the 10th, Slocum's Corps was put in motion to join Burnside at Fredericksburg, it made a forced march to gain the battle- field ; but owing to the state of the roads, and the destruction of bridges by swollen streams, it failed to reach the ground in time for the engagement. The corps was, accordingly posted to hold the line from Fairfax Court House to Acquia Creek, where it remained during the winter.
On the 27th of April, 1863, the battery started on the march for Chancel- lorsville, and with the corps engaged the enemy on the centre of the line in the fighting of the 1st, 2d, and 3d of May. On the evening of the 2d, Stone- wall Jackson attacked and crushed the right wing of the army, held by the Eleventh Corps. The Twelfth, and detachments of the Third Corps stood next, and received the shock with undaunted courage and constancy, checking the mad onset of the foe, and turning back his victorious columns, Jackson himself, receiving a mortal wound. But on the morning of the 3d, the enemy renewed his attack with redoubled fury, and in the fierce struggle which pre- vailed, in which the artillery played a most prominent part, Captain Hampton was killed, and the battery sustained severe losses. On the 5th, this battery, together with Knap's and Thompson's, covered the retreat of the army to the north bank of the Rappahannock.
On the 20th of May, the battery having previously been consolidated with battery C, Captain Thompson, was assigned to the reserve artillery of the Army of the Potomac, led by General R. O. Tyler, and about the middle of June, commenced the march towards Pennsylvania. On the 2d of July, at Gettysburg, it went into position in the Peach Orchard, on the right of the po- sition held by Sickles' Corps, and held it until the line was forced to fall back. On the 3d of July, it was posted with the Second Corps, holding the left centre of the line, and with that corps was engaged on the afternoon of that day, in the fierce struggle, which finally decided the battle. In this engagement, Lieu- tenant Miller received a mortal wound, and died on the 9th of August follow- ing. When the army returned to Virginia, the battery moved with the col- umns, crossing the Potomac at Berlin, and advancing to Culpepper Court House. On the 11th of October, it commenced falling back towards Centre- ville Heights, the enemy threatening to turn the right flank of the army; but on the 15th, again advanced, and engaged the enemy at Blackburn's Ford. Towards the close of November, the army was put in motion for a vigorous campaign. The battery crossed the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford, and the Rapidan at Germania Ford, and on the 27th and 28th, was engaged at Mine Run, and on the 29th and 30th, at White Hall Church. Upon the abandon- ment of the campaign, it re-crossed the Rapidan at Gold Mine Ford, and went into winter-quarters at Brandy Station. On the 5th of February, 1864, it joined in the movement to Morton's Ford, on the Rapidan, and on the 6th was en- gaged. The purpose of the demonstration having been effected, it returned to camp. Lieutenant Irish had been promoted to Captain in May preceding, and fresh recruits having been received, battery F was subsequently re-organized. Before the opening of the spring campaign, the battery was ordered to Camp Barry, at Washington, to re-organize and re-fit, and on the 14th of May, re- lieved forces of heavy artillery on duty in the defenses of Washington.

THREE YEARS' SERVICE.
On the 4th of July, the battery was ordered to Harper's Ferry, and moved thither by forced marches. Upon its arrival, it was posted on Maryland Heights, in conjunction with forces assigned to the defense of that position. Until December, it was employed in the various movements involved in driving the enemy from the Valley, and in holding the line of the Potomac. It then went into winter-quarters on Maryland Heights, where, at the expiration of their term of service, the original members, with the exception of veterans, were mustered out. About the middle of April, 1865, the veterans, with the recruits, were ordered to duty in the defenses of Washington, where they con- tinued on duty, until the 26th of June, 1865, when they likewise were mus- tered out.
