TWENTY-FIFTH UNITED STATES COLORED REGIMENT.


T NHIS regiment was recruited for the most part in Pennsylvania, and was organized at Camp William Penn, in February, 1864, with the following field officers: Gustavus A. Scroggs, Colonel; Frederick L. Hitchcock, Lieu- tenant Colonel; James W. H. Reisinger, Major. Colonel Scroggs was ordered by the President to proceed with his regiment to Indianola, Texas, and there re- cruit three other regiments from among the freedmen, which should with his own, constitute a brigade, of which he was to be appointed Brigadier General. Accordingly, the Colonel sailed with the right wing of the regiment on the 15th of March, for New Orleans, on the steamer Suwanee, with orders to report to General Banks. In a storm off Hatteras, the steamer sprung a leak. The water rose to within a foot of the fires, although the ship's pumps were in active ope- ration. The men were put to work with buckets, and after thirty-six hours of the most strenuous and incessant exertions to keep her afloat, she was brought into the harbor of Beaufort, North Carolina, where she was abandoned. This threw the battalion under the command of General Wessels, at a time when the enemy was closely pressing the siege of Little Washington, and it was im- mediately ordered into the defenses. Here it was kept upon the front until the emergency had passed, when it was sent forward to its destination, arriv- ing about the 1st of May. In the meantime the left wing, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hitchcock, had proceeded without detention, and on its arrival at New Orleans, had encamped at Carrolton, a few miles above the city. The regiment arrived in New Orleans, during the progress of the Red River campaign, which having ended in disaster, so modified the situation of affairs, that General Banks, who was in command of the department, refused to allow the regiment to go forward to Indianola. Colonel Scroggs, thereupon resigned, and Lieutenant Colonel Hitchcock was promoted to succeed him, Ma- jor Reisinger to Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain Boudren to Major. The regi- ment was then sent to Barrancas, Florida, where it relieved the Seventh Maine, and was charged with garrison duty. Colonel Hitchcock, with six companies, was ordered with regimental headquarters to the command of the post of Barrancas Barracks, including Fort Barrancas, and the adjoining for. tifications, where his men were drilled in infantry and heavy artillery service, in both of which they became proficient. Lieutenant Colonel Reisinger, with four companies, was detached, and placed in command of Fort Pickens, com- manding the entrance to Pensacola Harbor.,


During the Mobile campaign, which was inaugurated in January, 1865, it was ordered to report to General Pile, for immediate service in the field, it being the purpose of the Government to organize an entire division of colored

troops. It was here associated with the "Old New Orleans First," composed principally of Creoles of wealth and standing. But before arrangements had been perfected for taking the field, the enemy threatened a counter movement against Pensacola, and it became necessary to strengthen the defenses, and put the forts in a condition to withstand the siege. It was accordingly deemed inexpedient to relieve the Twenty-fifth, for a regiment inexperienced and un- drilled in garrison duty, and hence it did not take part in the active operations in the field, which were soon after inaugurated. During the spring and sum- mer of 1865, the men suffered terribly from scurvy, about one hundred and fifty dying, and as many more being disabled for life. The mortality at one time amounted to from four to six daily. This was the result of want of proper food. Urgent appeals were made by the officers in command; but not until the disease had run its course, were these appeals answered. The regi- ment remained on duty at the forts until December, when it was ordered to Philadelphia, and on the 6th, at Camp Cadwalader, was mustered out of ser- vice.


The flag which the regiment carried, was painted by a colored man in Phila- delphia. It represented a Freedman in the foreground, the shackles of his bondage having just fallen from his ankles, in the act of stepping forward eagerly to receive the musket and uniform of his country's defenders which the Goddess of Liberty is presenting to him. After the return of the regiment to Philadelphia, and at the close of its last parade through the streets of that city, this flag was presented by Colonel Hitchcock, to the Union League Asso- ciation of Philadelphia, George H. Boker, Esq., the poet, receiving it on be- half of the League, and responding to the language of the Colonel in an elo- quent and impressive manner.


In regard to the character of the Twenty-fifth, Colonel Hitchcock says: "I desire to bear testimony to the esprit du corps, and general efficiency of the organization as a regiment, to the competency and general good character of its officers, to the soldierly bearing, fidelity to duty, and patriotism of its men. Having seen active service in the Army of the Potomac, prior to my connec- tion with the Twenty-fifth, I can speak with some degree of assurance. After a proper time had been devoted to its drill, I never for a moment doubted what would be its conduct under fire. It would have done its full duty be- yond question. An opportunity to prove this the Government never afforded, and the men always felt this a grievance."
