CHAPTER XL.
THE ATLANTIC ARTILLERY, EIGHTEENTHI VIRGINIA BATTALION,
HEAVY ARTILLERY.
This company was organized and uniformed by Captain J. Hardy Hendren, and mustered into service on the 9th of March, 1862, in Norfolk, with the following officers :
Captain, J. Hardy Hendren.
First Lieutenant, Wm. C. Marrow ; 2d Lieutenant, W. Roy Roberts ; 3d Lieutenant, John H. Sale, Jr.
First Sergeant, Beverly K. Taylor.
Lieutenant Marrow was promoted to Quartermaster in the Army of Northern Virginia and Lieutenant Roberts was assigned as A. A. G. to the staff of General Pemberton, commanding the batteries around Richmond. First Sergeant Taylor was promoted to Lieutenant.
When the company was mustered into service, it was ordered to the entrenched camp near Norfolk, and was armed with muskets. It remained there until the 7th of May, when it was ordered to Petersburg and attached to the 18th Virginia Battalion Heavy Artillery. After a stay of three or four days the company was sent to Richmond, and assisted in building earthworks and mounting heavy guns. It remained in the batteries around that city until the close of the war, with an occasional expedition to head off raiding parties of the enemy's cavalry. It was sent to Gordonsville with General Fitzhugh Lee's Cavalry against Stone- man's raid ; was in the trenches in front of Richmond when Kil- patrick came there with his troopers on the 1st of March, 1864, and at the battle of Drury's Bluff, on the 16th of May, 1864, par- ticipated as light artillerists, having charge of a battery of five field pieces. In the fall of 1864, the company was sent down to Chaffins' Farm, and remained there, facing the enemy in Fort Harrison until the evacuation of Richmond by the Confederates, in April, 1865, when it fell back with the troops under General Ewell, and took part in the battle of Saylor's Creek. It was ex- tremely fortunate, and, though always ready for service, escaped the battles and dangers to which most of the other troops were exposed. It lost only one man killed in battle, and four died in hospital from sickness. The following were the casualties in the company :
Charles Pinkham, killed at Saylor's Creek.
W. A. Griffin, died in hospital, Richmond.
Armistead Haughton, died in hospital, Richmond.
Nathaniel Wilkins, died in hospital, Richmond.
James Young, died in hospital, Richmond.
David Mathias, wounded at Saylor's Creek.
J. W. Buchanan, wounded at Saylor's Creek.

CHAPTER XLI.
THE UNITED ARTILLERY, COMPANY A, NINETEENTH VIRGINIA BATTAL- ION, HEAVY ARTILLERY.
This company was composed of most excellent fighting material and was commanded by as cool and determined a soldier as there was in General Lee's Army, and, though always ready to respond to the call of duty, and though the men were exposed to danger and death on numerous occasions, an over-ruling Providence seemed to watch over them, and their casualties were insignificant. One man was killed in battle, one killed by accident, and one died in hospital from sickness. Five were wounded.
The company was organized in Norfolk several days before the burning of the Navy Yard by the Federal forces in April, 1861, but at the beginning of hostilities was not uniformed or armed. It was called into service on the 19th of April, to take part in the capture of the powder in Fort Norfolk. A detail was made to capture the gunner, Mr. Oliver, to prevent him from signaling to the Navy Yard, what was being done. The detail sent to capture Mr. Oliver was under command of Lieutenant W. Carter Wil- liams, and the rest of the company landed at the wharf at the fort, in barges The officers of the company at that time were:
Captain, Thomas Kevill.
First Lieutenant. James E. Barry ; 2d Lientenant, Win. Carter Williams ; 3d Lieutenant, Thaddeus E. Eisenbiess.
The company took its name from the old United Fire Com- pany, of which most of its men were members. A long habit of contending with the flames had inured them to dangers. Upon being mustered into service the company was stationed at Fort Norfolk and was furnished with muskets, and also was placed in charge of four light guns and drilled both as infantry and artil- lery. They also had charge of a battery of heavy guns, so that, during the year the company was at Fort Norfolk, the men be- came experts in all branches of the service except the cavalry.
In July, 1861, Lieutenant Williams was elected Captain of a company from Princess Anne county, which was attached to the 6th Regiment as Company B. Lieutenant Eisenbiess was pro- moted to 2d Lieutenant and Edward Lakin was elected 3d Lieu- tenant. Upon the organization of the 41st Virginia Regiment of infantry the United Artillery company was attached to it as Com- pany E.
When the iron-clad Virginia (Merrimac) was ready for service it was found that she lacked thirty-one men of having a full crew, and Captain Kevill was applied to for volunteers to make up the
296

UNITED ART., CO. A, NINETEENTH VA. BATTALION.
deficiency, but the men were not willing to serve under the com- mand of the naval officers and declined to volunteer unless one of their own officers was on board the ship to take charge of them. This was reported to the Secretary of War and by him commu- nicated to the Secretary of the Navy, and the result was that the services of the company were accepted, with Captain Kevill as their commander. The Captain then called for thirty-one volun- teers, and the whole company stepped to the front. Seleeting thirty-one men whom he thought best qualified, by physical strength, to do the heavy work which was required of them, he reported to the Commandant of the Navy Yard on the 7th of March, 1862, and was assigned, with sixteen men, to one of the 9-inch broad- side guns. During the engagement the fifteen other men were distributed among guns which were short in their crews. During the second day's engagement, the 9th of March, a piece of metal was knocked off the muzzle of the gun, but the men continued to load and fire it until the close of the battle. The next time the ship went down to Hampton Roads Captain Kevill was again with his men, but on the third trip, May Sth, Lieutenant Lakin had command of the detachment. Two men belonging to the company, A. J. Dalton and John Capps, were wounded by mus- ket balls coming through the port holes in the first day's battle, March 8th.
On the 10th of May, 1862, before sunrise, the company was marched from Fort Norfolk to the entrenched camp and placed in charge of a battery of heavy guns, and remained there until early in the afternoon, when it was marched to the Norfolk and Petersburg railroad depot in Norfolk and took the cars for Pe- tersburg. It remained eight or ten days on Dunn's Hill, near the city, when it was sent to Richmond and ordered to report to Col- onel Rhett, commanding defences of the city. While the United Artillery were in Petersburg and General Lee was making ar- rangements to defend Drury's Bluff from the anticipated attaek of the Federal iron-clads, he wrote to General Huger, command- ing the Department of Petersburg, that the battery was a very important one, that it should be well defended, and recommended that the United Artillery company be sent there. He told Gen- eral Huger that he understood this was one of the best companies in the service.
Upon reporting to Colonel Rhett the company was assigned to two two-gun batteries or redouts, one on each side of the Virginia Central railroad, and in two days built platforms for the guns, mounted them and built a magazine. The guns were mounted on heavy army carriages. The company remained in this battery until after the battles around Richmond, when it was moved to battery No. 8 and attached to a battalion commanded by Major Atkinson. Shortly afterwards it was detached from Major At-

kinson's command, ordered to Drury's Bluff, and still attached to the 19th Battalion of heavy artillery, reported to Captain S. S. Lee. Subsequently Major Frank Smith, of Norfolk, became commander of the battalion and was killed on the retreat from Richmond to Appomattox. His battalion was on both sides of a road, and each mistaking the other for the enemy, began firing, and in endeavoring to stop it Major Smith was killed. The com- pany remained in the battery at Drury's Bluff until the 16th of May, 1864, when as an infantry company it took part in the bat- tle fought there that day. In June, 1864, when Butler's troops were driven back to the lines of Bermuda Hundreds by Pickett's Division the United Artillery Company was sent to the Howlett House and took charge of a fortification known as Battery Dantz- ler, after Colonel Dantzler, of the 22d South Carolina Regiment, and when Butler began digging the Dutch Gap Canal the con- pany was moved to Battery Wood, in front of Dutch Gap, where it was constantly engaged shelling the enemy's working parties. Here it took its place regularly with the other troops on the lines, taking its turn at picket duty as an infantry com- pany, but still manning the heavy guns.
During the interval between the battle of Seven Pines and the Seven Days' battles a detachment of the company, under com- mand of Lieutenant Barry, operated a heavy gun which was put upon a railroad flat car, protected with iron, on the York River railroad, but it did not prove very effective, on account of the dif- fieulty in moving it along the track towards and from the enemy. While at Drury's Bluff the men frequently volunteered to take part in naval expeditions which were gotten up by Captain John Taylor Wood and other officers to cut out detached vessels of the enemy.
Lieutenant Barry's health broke down in the winter of 1864-5, and he became unable to do duty. Therefore, by the advice of the post surgeon, which was concurred in by Captain Kevill, he tendered his resignation and was discharged from the company. In September, 1864, Lieutenant Lakin received an appointment in the Navy, and Daniel Knowles was elected Lieutenant. Lieu- tenant Eisenbiess was killed in 1863 by an accident upon the Richmond and Petersburg railroad. Upon the evacuation of Richmond the United Artillery formed part of the forces under General Ewell, and under the command of Captain Kevill par- ticipated in the battle of Saylor's Creek, where it had one man killed and three wounded. Thus it happened, very singularly, that the company met with casualties only in its first and last en- gagements with the enemy. The following is a list of its losses :
Lieutenant T. E. Eisenbiess, killed accidentally, 1863.
John Belote, died in hospital at Drury's Bluff.
Emanuel Lacoste, killed at Saylor's Creek, April 5th, 1865,

CHAPTER XLII.
YOUNG'S HARBOR GUARD, THIRTEENTH VA. ARTILLERY BATTALION.
This company was raised in the latter part of April, 1861, by Cap- tain John J. Young, as a heavy artillery company, and was re- cruited principally in Norfolk, a few of the men being from Nor- folk county and Portsmouth. Captain Young uniformed the company at his own expense, and also contributed, out of his pri- vate funds, towards the erection of an earthwork at Bonsh's Bluff, to which point the company was ordered immediately upon its organization, for the purpose of throwing up fortifications. The work was armed with 32-pounder ship guns from the navy yard, and Captain Young fired the first shot at the enemy which was fired in this vicinity. On the 18th of May, 1861, the steam tug Kahnkee landed a force of workinen at Seawell's Point for the purpose of building fortifications there, and was chased back to Norfolk by the steamer Monticello, which fired a shot at her. As soon as the Monticello came within range of Captain Young's ' guns he sent a thirty-two pound shot at her, which had the effect of stopping her course, and she turned about and steamed towards Hampton Roads.
Complaint having been made to General Huger that Union sympathizers in the vicinity of Norfolk were in the habit of com- mimicating with the enemy at Fortress Monroe, Captain Young's Company, being composed of seafaring men, was changed into a company of Harbor Guards, whose duty it was to patrol the lower harbor at night, and for that purpose was furnished with four large launches, each armed with a boat howitzer, and also a num- ber of small boats. The men were armed with muskets also. The officers of the company were :
Captain, John J. Young.
First Lieutenant, John E. Winder; 2d Lieutenant, Henry Rob- erts ; 3d Lieutenant, John Lewis.
The company entered upon their new dnties in July, 1861, and their work was performed very satisfactorily, and what had pre- vionsly been a source of information to the enemy was very effec- tually stopped. An occasional "intelligent contraband " succeeded in making his escape to the Federal lines, but those escapades be- came very rare and very risky.
The company remained at Boush's Bluff until the 10th of May, 1862, when Norfolk was evaenated by the Confederate forces. Early that morning, the tug J B. White, which was under orders of Captain Young, and employed in his department, landed some stores at Boush's Bluff for the company, and instead of returning
301

NORFOLK COUNTY, 1861-5.
to Norfolk, steamed past the Seawell's Point batteries and kept on to Fortress Monroe. The captain and owner of the tug was a Northern man, and the Confederate authorities very unwisely re- tained him in charge of it. The information which he conveyed to the enemy hastened the movements of the Confederates. That afternoon at 2 o'clock, the men in Captain Young's Company em- barked in their barges and rowed past Craney Island to Pig Point and up the Nansemond river to Suffolk, where they destroyed their boats, placed their howitzers on the cars and carried them to Richmond. The Virginia (Merrimac) was lying near Craney Is- land, and her presence there deterred the Federal vessels from making any effort to interfere with the boats while they were being rowed up Hampton Roads towards Pig Point.
Upon arriving at Richmond the company was sent to Chaffin's Bluff, on James river, and attached to the 13th Virginia Artillery Battalion, under Major W. H. Gibbs, and remained there until the summer of 1863, when it was sent to Harper's Ferry, and met the army returning from Pennsylvania. It returned to Richmond as guards for the prisoners captured in Pennsylvania, and was again stationed in the fortifications near Fort Harrison, on Chaf- fin's farm. When Butler advanced from Bermuda Hundreds in 1864, the company was moved over to the south side of James river with its four howitzers, and took part in the battle of the 16th of May. It then returned to Chaffin's farm, and was there on the 29th of September, 1864, when the enemy captured Fort Harrison, which was garrisoned by only one company. This com- pany, with a small handful of troops, made a very gallant stand against Butler's Corps, and held the rest of the lines until rein- forcements arrived.
When the company was in the fortifications around Richmond, its name underwent a change, and it became known as Young's Howitzers. It did service also at Dutch Gap for a short while, and upon the evacuation of Richmond, was attached to the troops under General Custis Lee, and took part in the battle of Saylor's Creek, just before the surrender at Appomattox.
Captain Young's health failed in 1863, and he was granted a sick leave. Lieutenant Roberts resigned August 25th, 1863, and was appointed a Lieutenant in the Navy, and Lieutenant Lewis resigned June 29th, 1864. Sergeant John C. Murray was elected Lieutenant July 4th, 1864, and in 1865, Walter Young was pro- moted to First Sergeant.
The following were the casualties of the company. Those re- ported prior to February 28th, 1865, are from the official reports of the commanding officer, those since that date have been sup- plied from the recollections of the survivors, but may be relied upon as correct :
