At Malvern Hill, fought on the 1st of July, 1862, the 6th Reg- iment was very heavily engaged, and lost ten men killed, thirty- three wounded and eight missing.


After Malvern Hill, General Lee pushed on towards Manassas after Pope, and came up with him upon the old battle ground of the year before. The 6th Regiment was in the midst of the mag- nificent charge which was made by Mahone's Brigade upon the enemy on the 30th of August, and contributed its share towards achieving that brilliant victory, one of the most important in its results of any during the entire war. Then followed the invasion of Maryland, the investment of Harper's Ferry and the battle of Sharpsburg. Mahone's Brigade, as a part of Anderson's Division, was under Jackson's command at Harper's Ferry and to it was assigned the duty of holding Crampton Gap, to keep the enemy in check until the consummation of Jackson's plans, and the sur- render of that town. An account of this engagement will be found elsewhere in this work. [See Chapter XIII.] On the 14th of September Franklin's Corps of 17,000 men attacked Mahone's Brigade of four regiments, numbering 800 men, and was held in check for four hours. The brigade did noble work there and paid a heavy penalty for it in the loss of one-half of its numbers, but its gallant stand gave time for Jackson to capture Harper's Ferry. Among the killed in this engagement was the venerable Dr. Thos. Newton, of Norfolk, who, though long past the military age, was serving as a private in Company F, 6th Regiment, the Seaboard

Rifles of Princess Anne county. At Sharpsburg the brigade had been reduced by its losses at Manassas and Crampton Gap, and its fatigning march after the fall of Harper's Ferry, to a mere skele- ton, scarcely as large as one of its companies at the beginning of the war, but this remnant made a brave stand and assisted in re- pelling the last attack of the enemy upon the left and left center of the Confederate lines. All four of the regiments in the brigade were present with their colors, but as the numbers in the ranks were small, their general and most of the field officers wounded, they were consolidated into one regiment, under Lieutenant-Col- onel Parham, of the 41st, the senior officer, and attached to Pry- or's Brigade. One set of colors was retained and the others were sent to the rear with a detail to take care of them. In this battle a portion of the 6th Regiment and a few Georgia troops, under command of Lieutenant W. W. Chamberlaine, of Company G, 6th Virginia, got possession of a piece of artillery which had been abandoned by the battery to which it belonged for want of horses to haul it, and served it with effect upon the enemy.


The battle of Sharpsburg was fought on the 17th of September and Mcclellan's repeated assaults were driven back along the whole line from right to left with terrible slaughter, and after waiting all day on the 18th, for a renewal of the attack, which never came, General Lee retired into Virginia to recuperate his tired troops, and in November the 61st Virginia Regiment was added to Mahone's Brigade. The battle of Fredericksburg took place on the 13th of December, and the Confederates achieved another brilliant victory. The 6th Regiment was in line of battle and exposed to a heavy artillery fire, but was not actively engaged. The brigade was on the left of the line and the enemy made their attacks upon the right and centre. A season of rest followed after the battle of Fredericksburg until April, 1863, when General Hooker began his movement across the Rapidan river, which cul- minated in his crushing defeat at Chancellorsville. A detail of three officers and thirty-five men from Mahone's Brigade was at work building a bridge at Germanna Ford on the 29th, when they were surprised by the enemy's advance in force, and nearly all captured. Hooker then crossed at Germanna and Ely's Fords, which are higher up the river than United States Ford, where Mahone's Brigade was stationed, and advanced down the river to- wards Fredericksburg, his route taking him in the rear of Mahone and that officer withdrew from United States Ford and formed line of battle, with his own and Posey's Brigades, near Chancel- lorsville, to check Hooker's advance until General . Lee could be apprised of the condition of affairs and take steps to meet it. In the advance and battle of May 1st, Mahone's Brigade was in front driving back the enemy opposed to it, and taking up a position which it held until the consummation of General Jackson's flank

movement against Hooker's right. On the night of the 2d Gen- eral Lee was very anxious to ascertain the exact position of the enemy's lines in his front, so that he could prepare an attack for the next day in connection with Jackson's corps, and three com- panies of the 6th Regiment, B, C and II, under command of Cap- tain W. Carter Williams, of Company B, were ordered to advance for that purpose. The advance was gallantly made, the enemy's rifle pits were carried by storm, prisoners belonging to four differ- ent regiments were captured, as were also the color bearer and colors of the 107th Ohio Regiment. In this affair, though so mneh was accomplished, the three companies suffered no loss ex- cept the capture of Captain Crawley, of Company C, who became separated in the darkness from his men, and mistaking his direc- tion, walked into the enemy's lines. On the 3d the regiment moved with the brigade to Salem Church to cheek the advance of Sedgwick, who was moving upon General Lee's rear from the direction of Fredericksburg, and while taking up a position on the left of the line, the 6th Regiment was fired upon very unexpee- tedly by the enemy upon its flank, but, with the coolness of vet- erans, it formed its line under fire without disorder, and then drove back the attacking party. The regiment was under com- mand of Colonel Rogers, and in the fighting around Chancellorsville it lost eight men killed, thirty-three wounded and six missing.


The success at Chancellorsville induced General Lee to invade Pennsylvania, and the Gettysburg campaign followed. The 6th Regiment was present on the battle field on the 2d and 3d of July, exposed to the enemy's fire, but most of the time support- ing other troops which were in front, and therefore not very ac- tively engaged, though it lost a number of men. It returned to Virginia with the brigade, was actively engaged in the fall eam- paign of 1863, the important features of which were the engage- ments at Bristoe Station, October 14th, and Mine Run, Decem- ber 2d, after which it went into winter quarters, and was undis- turbed by the enemy until 1864, when General Grant began his overland campaign towards Richmond. Gee Lee thrust himself across Grant's front in the Wilderness and forced him to turn aside. Mahone's Brigade was on the extreme right of Longstreet's Corps when he made his celebrated movement to turn Grant's


left, and had made a brilliant charge, sweeping the enemy before it. The 6th Regiment was on the left of the brigade, and next to it came the 16th. The position of the brigade was nearly at right angles with the line of battle, and in advance of the line. Longstreet with his own and Jenkins' staff at the head of Jen- kins' Brigade, was riding down the turnpike which passed in front of the position held by Mahone's Brigade, and when oppo- site the left of Mahone's line was seen through the thick woods and smoke and mistaken for the enemy. Firing began and Long-

street was wounded, thus putting a stop to the flank movement which he was directing, and which had already yielded sneh im- portant results. Whether the shots which produced the disaster came from the 6th or 16th Regiment will perhaps never be defi- nitely settled, but the clearest accounts of the affair locate it as having occurred in front of the left of the brigade. This subject and the battle of the Wilderness are discussed more particularly in the history of the 61st Regiment, chapter XXIV.


The 6th Regiment fought through the whole of the campaign of 1864, was at Shady Grove, Spotsylvania Court House, Cold Harbor, North Anna River, Hanover Court House, Cold Harbor, Turkey Ridge and Second Frazier's Farm, crossed over the James river and interposed between Grant's army and Petersburg, took part in the brilliant victories at Wilcox's Farm, June 22d, Gurley House, June 23d, and the Crater, July 30th. This last will rank with the world's most famous battles and has been made the theme of the artist's brush. The larger portion of the 6th Regi- ment was on picket duty when the news was received that the enemy had broken through the lines, and there was not time to call them in. Eighty-five men were in camp, and these fell in with the rest of the brigade, and hurrying to where the breech had been made, took part in the charge upon the enemy, and of the eighty-five men with the regiment, thirteen were killed, fifty wounded and twelve were missing. Ten escaped uninjured but they inflicted a loss upon the enemy of ten for one. It was in this battle that Lieutenant-Colonel Williamson lost his arm. En- sign Howard S. Wright was mortally wounded ; Captain Wright, of Company II, and Lieutenant Spratt, of Company C, were killed, and Captain Coke, of Company F, Captain Goode, of Company K, Lieutenant Hopper, Company A, Lieutenant Cor- nick, of Company F, and Lieutenant Flournoy, of Company K, were wounded.


After the Crater came the battles of Reams' Station, Burgess' Mill and Hatcher's Run, and when the final crash came and the army retreated from Petersburg, Mahone's Brigade preserved its organization and courage to the last, and, on the retreat it fought two battles and repulsed the enemy in both. At Cumberland Church, only two days before the surrender at Appomattox, Ma- hone's men and G. T. Anderson's Brigade of Georgians, captured an entire brigade of Federal troops with their officers and colors. Virginia has reason to be proud of Mahone's Brigade, with its five regiments of Virginia soldiers, the 6th, 12th, 16th, 41st and 61st. One-third of them came from Norfolk county, including the two cities, while Princess Anne, Nansemond, Sonthampton, Isle of Wight, Sussex, Greenville, Chesterfield and Petersburg furnished the rest. One company from Richmond, the Grays, was in the 12th Regiment.

It will be seen from a comparison of the above list with the rolls of the Norfolk companies in the regiment, that there are some names here which are not on the company rolls. Those names are men who joined the regiment after it left Norfolk, and not being Norfolk men, were purposely omitted. Some of them were conscripts and some volunteers.

CHAPTER XXXIX.


THE NORFOLK JUNIORS, COMPANY 11, TWELFTH VIRGINIA REGIMENT,


This company dates its organization back to the year 1802 and was therefore the oldest volunteer organization in Norfolk before the war. It took part in the war of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain, and was on duty in the vicinity of Nor- folk. It was on duty with the other Norfolk companies on the night of the 19th of April, 1861, when the powder in the maga- zine at Fort Norfolk was seized and a guard from the company was placed on the schooner James Buchanan with the powder, and accompanied it to Richmond. The officers of the company at that time were :


Captain, F. F. Ferguson.


First Lieutenant, Alex. F. Santos ; 2d Lieutenant, Jno. Holmes ; 3d Lieutenant, Joel C. White.


First Sergeant, Henry C. Woodhouse ; Sergeant, Wm. P. Ash- ley ; Sergeant, Robt. J. Barrett ; Sergeant, Chas. L. Beale.


First Corporal, Jolm R. Robins ; Corporal, Jolm Baldry ; Cor- poral, Luther Walker; Corporal, James Gray.


There were also ninety-five privates mustered into service, mak- ing the total effective strength of the company one hundred and seven. On the morning of the 21st of April, the day after the United States authorities set fire to the Gosport Navy Yard, the company was sent there, and with two fire engines, assisted in subdning the flames, and on the 29th was ordered to Boush's Bluff to assist in building a battery at that point. The company was at Boush's Bluff on the 19th of May, when the Monticello made her attack upon the battery at Seawell's Point, and a de- taelment under command of Lientenant Holmes was sent down to reinforce the garrison. The men fought with the deliberation of veterans, and were highly complimented in the official report of Captain Colquit, of the Columbus, Georgia, Light Guard, who commanded the post. A full account of this affair will be found in chapter XXXI, ante.


Upon the organization of the 12th Virginia Regiment, the Ju- niors were assigned to it as Company H, but remained on detached service at Boush's Bluff until the evacuation of Norfolk, on the 10th of May, 1862, when it joined the regiment in the entrenched camp near Norfolk, and was carried by rail to Petersburg. The Juniors carried from Norfolk, in its ranks, more men than any other company from that city, and its losses were heavier than any other. One company, the Blues, was recruited after the evaena- tion and became a larger company than the Juniors, but the men


288


289

were not with it at the evacuation. In April, 1862, there was a re-election of offieers and a reorganization of the company, and an entire change was made in the roll of the commissioned officers. All of the original officers were dropped and the following were elected :


Captain, Thomas F. Owens.


First Lieutenant, Ilenry C. Woodhouse ; 2d Lieutenant, Chas. Dashiell ; 3d Lieutenant, Chas. L. Beale.


First Sergeant, Win. H. Ramsey.


Captain Owens was wounded at the second battle of Manassas, August 30th, 1862, but recovered, rejoined the company and was with it until the end. Lieutenant Woodhouse was captured at Germanna Ford on the 29th of April, 1863, was subsequently ex- changed, rejoined the company and received a wound at Shady Grove, May 8th, 1864, which so disabled him that he was not able to again be with the company. He was still in hospital when the army surrendered at Appomattox. Lieutenant Dashiell was wounded and captured at Crampton Gap, September 14th, 1862, was exchanged, rejoined the company, but was unfit for duty and was discharged on the 5th of April, 1864. Lieutenant Beale was wounded at the battle of the Crater, July 30th, 1864, but re- mained with the company and was killed on the 19th of August, at the battle of Davis' Farm, on the Petersburg and Weldon rail- road. Orderly Sergeant Ramsey was wounded at the second bat- tle of Manassas and died from his wound in a hospital. After the death of Lieutenant Beale, Sergeant John F. Sale was elected lieutenant, and was mortally wounded at Hatcher's Run, Febru- ary 6th, 1865, and died February 12th. The company was very unfortunate in its commissioned officers, for of the five whom it had after the evacuation of Norfolk, two were killed and the three others were wounded, two of these receiving wounds which inca- pacitated them from further service.


Before the evacuation of Norfolk a number of the members of the company were transferred to other commands, and their names will appear with those organizations. Privates Charles Reynolds and Jesse Knight got into a difficulty with some members of the 3d Alabama Regiment, in Norfolk, on the 12th of July, 1861, and were so badly wounded that they were discharged as unfit for further military duty, and Thaddeus S. Gray was detailed on spe- cial secret service for the government, and subsequently appointed master's mate in the navy. Of the ninety-two men who left Nor- folk with the company, thirty found graves on the battle fields of Virginia and never returned. The record of the company was good all through the war. It participated in the following en- gagements, or was present in line of battle :


Seawell's Point, May 19-21, '62, Oak Grove, June 25th, 1862, Seven Pines, June 1st, 1862, Malvern Hill, July 1st, 1862,

Wilcox's Farm, June 22d, '64, Gurley House, June 23d, 1864, Crater, July 30th, 1864,


Davis' Farm, August 19th, '64, Reams' Station, August 25th,'64, Burgess' Mill, October 27th,'64, Hicksford, December 9th, 1864, Hatcher's Run, February 6th, 1865,


Amelia C. H., April 5th, 1865, Cumberland Church, April 7th, 1865,


Appomattox Court House, April 9th, 1865.


The first battle of importance in which the company took part was Seven Pines, June Ist, 1862, and from that time until and including the second battle of Manassas, fought August the 30th, it lost eleven men killed. In addition to the thirty members of the company from Norfolk who lost their lives, two men who joined when the regiment was around Petersburg, were killed. They were William Spencer, from near Richmond, and Christian.


In addition to the battles emunerated above, in which the com- pany was engaged with the regiment, it had quite a serious affair of its own on the 19th and 20th of June, 1862. The company was sent by itself on a scout down the Charles City road, near Richmond, for the purpose of ascertaining the position of the enemy, and while on that duty had a spirited engagement with the enemy, in which it had two men, Thos. L. Connor and John Carlon, killed and a number wounded. General Mahone's report of the battle of Malvern Hill compliments the 12th Virginia Reg- iment very highly, and his report of the Chancellorsville battle says :


" The enemy's cavalry advance on the Ely's Ford road made its appearance, and after a precipitate advance upon our pickets, (capturing several) he subsequently came upon our rear guard, the 12th Virginia Infantry, Lieutenant-Colonel Field commanding --- was repulsed so effectually as to leave us free from any further


291


NORFOLK JUNIORS, CO. H, TWELFTH VA. REGT.


annoyance during our change of position," and further on he says " the 12th Virginia, Lieutenant Colonel Field commanding, for its rigid and efficient resistance to the superior force of the enemy while covering the formation of our line of battle on the turnpike Friday, May Ist, deserves high commendation." On many other occasions the conduct of the regiment was very highly compli- mented. At the battle of the Crater, July 30th, 1864, in which Mahone's Brigade achieved one of the most brilliant victories of the war, the 12th Regiment carried about one hundred and fifty men in the fight, of whom twelve were killed and twenty-six wounded. Of these two of the killed and three wounded were in Company H.


The following men left Norfolk, May 10th, 1862, with the com- pany :


Captain Thos. F. Owens, wounded August 30th, 1862, 2d Manassas, sur- rendered at Appomattox.
