Norfolk was hastened by a mueh earlier retreat on the part of General Johnston than was anticipated.
There were no military movements of interest in the vicinity of Norfolk, after the battle of South Mills, until the 8th of May, when the Federal fleet from Fortress Monroe, including the Mon- itor, moved up towards Seawell's Point, and about noon opened fire upon the batteries. The Virginia moved down from the navy yard to take part in the engagement, but as she was turning Lambert's Point the Federal vessels saw her and retired towards Fortress Monroe. That morning the Galena and two other gun boats started up James river, shelling the Confederate batteries as they moved along. The Confederate steamers Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson retired before them as they advanced. Early in April, before it was anticipated that the evacuation of Norfolk and Portsmouth would be necessary, the Secretary of War di- rected that additional obstructions be put in the harbor, and after consulting with Secretary Mallory, of the navy, Captain S. S. Lee, who had relieved Commodore Forrest as commandant of the navy yard, was directed to have the old 74-gun ships Delaware and Columbus raised and taken to the narrow part of the channel near Seawell's Point and there scuttled. The sloop of war Ger- mantown and the old frigate United States, which had been re- christened "the Confederate States," were to be used for the same purpose, while the Plymouth was directed to be fitted up as a re- ceiving ship. A space was to be left open for the Virginia to pass in and out, but was to be closed with an arrangement of booms when not used for the passage of vessels. This was decided npon because the old obstructions near Lambert's Point were so close to the city that it could be reached from there by the ene- my's shells, should they sneceed in passing the batteries at Sea- well's Point and Craney Island. Before anything could be done towards carrying out the proposed plan, the Confederates evacu- ated the place. In the meantime the wholesome fear the enemy had of the Virginia kept them from making any attempt to enter the harbor.
The Confederates left on the 10th of May, and knowing that they were moving off, General Wool landed a force of 6,000 troops on Willoughby's Spit, and about 9 a. m. started for the city. He marched very slowly, so as to give the Confederates time to get off without any hindrance on his part, and arrived within about a mile of the Norfolk at 5 o'clock p. m., having moved at the rate of about one mile an hour. Here he was met by Mayor W. W. Lamb, who surrendered the city, in the absence of military anthority, and, though the city was in possession of the United States army and the guns which frowned from the numerous bat- teries were silent, with no soldiers near them to wake them into action, the Virginia still held a position inside of Craney Island,
244

and the Federal fleet held back from entering the harbor. That night the old ironclad was set on fire by order of her own comman- der, and just before daylight on the morning of the 11th, the fire reached her magazine and she was blown up. Then her late an- tagonists came boldly up to the city.
General Wool, in his official report of the landing of the Fed- eral troops, and their occupation of the city, forwarded to the Secretary of War on the 12th of May, says:
HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF VIRGINIA, FORTRESS MONROE, VA., May 12th, 1862.
SIR-On the 9th of May (Friday afternoon) I organized a force to march against Norfolk. On Saturday morning, May 10th, the troops were landed, under the direction of Colonel Cram, at Ocean View, and commenced the march towards Norfolk, under the di- rection of Brigadier Generals Mansfield and Weber, who proceeded on the direct route by the way of Tanner's Creek bridge, but finding it on fire, they returned to the cross-roads, where I joined them and took the direction of the column. I arrived by the old road and entered the entrenchments in front of the city at twenty minutes before 5 p. m. I immediately proceeded towards Nor- folk, accompanied by Hon. Secretary Chase, and met the mayor and a select committee of the Common Council of Norfolk at the limits of the city, when they surrendered the city, agreeably to the terms set forth in the resolutions of the Common Council, presented by the Mayor, W. W. Lamb, which were accepted by me so far as related to the civil rights of the citizens.
I immediately took possession of the city and appointed Briga- dier General Egbert L. Viele Military Governor of Norfolk, with directions to see that the citizens were protected in all their civil rights. Soon after I took possession of Gosport and Portsmouth. The taking of Norfolk caused the destruction of the ironclad Merrimac, which was blown up by the rebels about 5 o'clock on the morning of the 11th of May, which was soon after communi- cated to you and the President of the United States. On the 11th I visited the navy yard and found all the work shops, store houses, and other buildings in ruins, having been set on fire by the rebels who at the same time partially blew up the dry-dock.
I also visited Craney Island, where I found thirty-nine guns of large caliber, most of which were spiked ; also a large number of shot and shells, with about 5,000 pounds of powder, all of which with the buildings, were in good order. So far as I have been able to ascertain, we have taken about two hundred cannon, in- cluding those at Seawell's Point batteries, with a large number of shot and shells, as well as many other articles of value to the gov- ernment.
Troops have been stationed at the navy yard, Craney Island, Seawell's Point and other places.

OPERATIONS AROUND NORFOLK CITY.
Secretary of War Staunton issued a congratulatory order to General Wool, claiming that his movement of 6,000 troops caused the evacuation of Norfolk. The secretary knew that the evacu- ation was due to orders received from Richmond two weeks pre- vious thereto, and that the stores which could be moved had pre- viously been sent to Richmond and Charlotte. What chance would General Wool's 6,000 men have had of capturing Norfolk or even escaping, in a contest with the 15,000 well drilled troops who were under General Huger's command.
General Wool knew before he landed at Ocean View that the Confederates had evacuated their batteries, and he took particular care not to approach Norfolk until he was certain that the last Confederate troops had left the city. Is any better evidence wanted than the fact that it took him from 9 o'clock a. in. to 5 p. nı. to march from Ocean View to the intrenchments back of Nor- folk, a distance of about seven miles.
The Confederate troops under General Huger were added to the army of General Johnston for the defence of Richmond. General IIuger commanded the division until after the battle of Malvern Hill, when he was relieved from his command in the field and appointed inspector of artillery and ordnance, with in- structions to report to the War Department for orders. His man- agement of the division at the battle of Seven Pines and during the Seven Day's battles, terminating at Malvern IIill, did not meet the approbation of the Confederate war authorities. His troops were assigned to other commanders, and made records for themselves, as soldiers, second to none in the army of Northern Virginia.
The council of war which decided that Norfolk was untenable, was held before General Johnston went to the Peninsula. There were present Generals Longstreet, Smith and Lee, President Davis and Seeretary of War Randolph. It was agreed then that if the Peninsula was evacuated, Mcclellan could cross a force over James river, take post at Suffolk, that Burnside could reinforce him from Elizabeth City, and starve out General Huger's forces and force a surrender. Persons not so high in authority as those who held the council, have always doubted the necessity of evac- uating the city. They have taken the ground that if Mcclellan crossed over his army and located at Suffolk or advanced towards Portsmouth, General Johnston's army could have crossed over also and hemmed McClellan in between the two forces, while the Virginia, in Hampton Roads, could have prevented his receiving supplies from Fortress Monroe, and, if Burnside left North Caro- lina to unite with him, General Holmes' 25,000 Confederate troops in that State would have been released and could have joined General Johnston in Virginia. McClellan had his eye on Richmond, not Norfolk.

NORFOLK COUNTY, 1861-5.
On the 3d of May an officer of General Johnston's staff arrived in Norfolk with an order to General Huger to evacuate the city immediately. The order was issued May 1st, but the Secretary of War, who was in Norfolk to see about the removal of stores, &e., ordered General Huger to delay the evacuation until he could remove such stores and munitions as could be carried off.

CHAPTER XXXI.
THE NORFOLK LIGHT ARTILLERY BLUES.
When the war ended, this was probably the largest company in the Confederate army, for though it had been through three years of active service after the evacuation of Norfolk, and had lost six- teen men by death, besides many wounded, it had more than a hundred and fifty men present for duty when the lines were broken at Petersburg on the 1st of April, 1865, and the final crash came, which involved the Southern Confederacy in its ruins. Twenty-two of its members were from Portsmouth, ten or twelve were from Princess Anne, six were from Maryland, while Norfolk county, Southampton, Nansemond, Prince George, Petersburg, Hampton and other places had representatives in its ranks, but a large majority of its members were from the city of Norfolk, and no company in the Confederate service was composed of better material.
The Blues were organized February 22d, 1828, with Captain Miles King as their first commander. Captain King passed away long before the war, but his work remained. At the breaking out of the late war " the Blues " turned out with full ranks, and were on duty April 19th, 1861, when the powder was removed from Fort Norfolk, and on the morning of the 20th, with two field pieces, they were sent down the harbor towards Craney Is- land, to intercept the Baltimore boat, which was supposed to have on board a detachment of marines for the navy yard. Their or- ders were to capture the marines and bring them to Norfolk. They stopped the steamer but the marines were not on board. The company was armed with four brass howitzers but these were turned over to the Huger Battery, and the Blues were attached to the 16th Virginia Infantry as Company H, until March 26th, 1862, when the company was detached from the 16th Regiment and reorganized as light artillery.
The officers of the company when the war began were Captain Jacob Vickery ; 1st Lieutenent, W. J. Nimmo ; 2d Lieutenant, John Branham ; 3d Lieutenant, S. P. Moore, but Lieutenants Branham and Moore did not go into service with it, and the offi- cers for the first year were Captain Vickery; 1st Lieutenant Nimmo ; 2d Lieutenant, W. T. Peet; 3d Lieutenant, R. B. Banks ; 1st Sergeant, Thos. Nash, Jr. On the 22d of April the Blues were ordered to Craney Island and remained there about three weeks, when they were sent to Boush's Bluff, near the mouth of Tanner's Creek. There were on duty at that locality, the Blues, the Juniors, of Norfolk, and a company organized by
247
248

Captain John J. Young, and doing duty as heavy artillery. On the 18th of May, 1861, the tug Kahukee landed a force of labo- rers at Seawell's Point for the purpose of building a battery in that locality, and was shortly afterwards chased and fired upon by the United States steamer Monticello. The Kahukee steamed for Norfolk, with the Monticello in pursuit, and when the latter ves- sel had gotten within range of the guns in the battery at Boush's Bluff, Captain Young fired a shot at her which turned her back. During that day and the following morning the Confederates were busy at work upon the battery at Seawell's Point, and by the afternoon of the 19th, had three guns mounted, when the Monti- cello took up a position to attack it. A detachment of the Blues, under Lieutenant Peet, was sent from Boush's Bluff to reinforce a company of Georgians, the Columbus Light Guard, which was stationed there, and assisted in the engagement which followed. After a brisk interchange of shots, the Monticello retired but re- turned again on the 21st. The Blues were present on this occa- sion also and did good service. Later that summer, the whole company was ordered to Seawell's Point, and remained on duty there until the evacuation by the Confederates in May, 1862.
On the Sth of March, 1862, several of the Federal vessels which were moving from Fortress Monroe towards Newport News, to engage the Virginia (Merrimac) passed within gun shot of the batteries at Seawell's Point, and among others, the battery which was manned by the Blues, opened fire on them. They were in the battery on the Sth of May when the Federal fleet from Fort- ress Monroe bombarded Seawell's Point, until the appearance of the Virginia, coming down from the navy yard, caused them to retire.
While at Seawell's Point several changes took place in the offi- cers of the company. Sergeant Nash was elected 1st Lieutenant of the Huger Battery in April, 1861, Lieutenant Nimmo died on the 25th of September, 1861, Captain Vickery resigned on the 4th of December, and on the 21st Captain Charles R. Grandy was elected Captain. Other changes were made at the reorgani- zation of the company, so that when it left Norfolk the following were its officers :
Captain-Charles R. Grandy.
First Lieutenant, Wm. T. Peet; 2d Lieutenant, R. B. Banks; 3d Lieutenant, James W. Gilmer.
After leaving Norfolk the company moved to Petersburg and was there furnished with two rifle guns, two brass howitzers and two Napoleons. It had then between ninety and a hundred men. In the summer of 1862 Sergeant Henry V. Moore was elected 4th Lieutenant and 2d Sergeant R. F. Vaughan became Orderly Sergeant. These officers continued with the company until the close of the war. Lieutenant Peet was wounded twice. The first
249

wound was received at the battle of Chancellorsville on the 1st of May, 1863, and the other on the 1st of April 1865, when the Con- federate lines in front of Petersburg were broken. Lieutenant Gilmer received a slight wound in the forehead in front of Pe- tersburg in 1864, from a piece of shell which struck the ground and spent nearly all of its force before it struck him. The other officers escaped without a wound.
The company remained on duty around Richmond and Peters- burg until the fall of 1862, when it was ordered to the upper Rappahannock to assist the 61st Virginia Regiment in guarding the fords of that river and the Rapidan, and on the 16th of No- vember was ordered, with the 61st Regiment, to Petersburg, ar- riving there on the 18th. On the 13th of December was fought the battle of Fredericksburg. The Blues occupied a piece of high ground on the left of the Confederate line, with Anderson's Di- vision, and rendered material assistance in repulsing the assaults of the enemy, but was fortunate in not losing any men. This was the first battle with infantry in which the company was en- gaged.
The winter of 1862-3 was spent on the Rappahannock river in the presence of the enemy, and when General Hooker commenced his turning movement in April, 1863, the Blues were on guard at United States Ford. This position was turned by Hooker's pas- sage of the river higher up, and on the night of the 29th the Blues retired towards Chancellorsville, where, on the 1st day of . May, they opened the three days' battle which is known by that name. One gun of the Blues' battery, together with another gun belonging to Jordan's battery, engaged Weed's battery of regu- lars, supported by two brigades of Sykes' Division, at a distance of three hundred yards, until the enemy retired. During this engagement a can of shrapnel from one of the guns of the enemy burst just in front of the Blues' gun, killed Private W. C. Land and wounded Lieutenant Peet slightly, Corporals J. H. Watters and M. C. Keeling and Privates J. W. Floyd, C. K. Mckown, / John II. Day, T. J. Wilkins and W. D. Montague. This left only two men to work the gun, and these two, with the assistance of Captain Grandy and Lieutenant Peet, who was not disabled by his wound, continued to serve it. Private Floyd lost his arm. This was the heaviest loss the company met with in any engage- ment during the war.
In June, 1863, the company was attached to Garnett's battal- ion of artillery and followed General Lee into Pennsylvania, took part in the battle of Gettysburg, and on the 14th of July recrossed the Potomac river into Virginia without having lost any men ex- cept one or two who were captured near Falling Waters.
The winter of 1863-4 was passed in comfortable quarters near Gordonsville, and in May, 1864, camp was broken to meet the
17

advance of General Grant in the Wilderness. The Blues were constantly in front until the army settled down in front of Peters- burg, when the company was assigned a position in the lines near the Boydton Plank Road. While there three men were killed, Privates Wm. Booth, J. Theodore Taylor, and A. M. Watters, Taylor performed a very daring feat on the 30th of July, 1864, during the battle of the Crater. The company was then sta- tioned near that locality and had not been moved to the Plank Road. A large shell from one of the enemy's guns made a lodg- ment in the roof of the magazine, and, exploding, set the maga- zine on fire. Seeing this, and apprehending an explosion, an in- fantry regiment which was near by supporting the battery scat- tered, and considerable demoralization was felt all around, but Taylor took a couple of buckets of water, went down into the magazine and put the fire out. In this battle the company had one man killed. Corporal R. M. Butler, and several wounded.
Towards the close of the scenes around Petersburg the Blues were divided into two sections, one of whom had charge of a mor- tar battery near the scene of the Crater fight and the other was farther to the right, near the Boydton Plank Road, and it was there that Grant made his assault upon the Confederate lines. All of the infantry had been withdrawn, and the Blues fought with- out supports. The enemy charged in front and to the right of them. The assault in front was checked, but the works were . carried on their right and the exultant foe charged down the trenches upon the battery. A portion of the guns changed front to meet this attack, and they were fought until the enemy reached their muzzles, when the battery, with about sixty men, was cap- tured. The enemy's loss was very heavy and the price paid for the battery was a dear one. The portion of the company sta- tioned at the mortar battery escaped from the lines, joined the army on the retreat, and surrendered at Appomattox. The com- pany took part in the following battles:
Seawell's Point, May 19th-21st, Chancellorsville, May 1st, 1863. 1861.
Gettysburg, July 2d-3d, 1863.

The Norfolk Light Artillery Blues was one of the companies sent to Coggins' Point, on the James river, in July, 1862, to bom- bard Mcclellan's camp at Harrison's Landing, on which occasion the enemy were considerably surprised and alarmed, even if not greatly damaged.
