disproportionate, his own through continual depletions, the enemy's through continual reinforcements. At Hanover Junction desultory ar- tillery shooting was merely engaged in, and, after a few days of marching, battle was joined at Cold Harbor, for the second timein its history. It was the last great battle on Virginia soil, and in fact the last of the war. The fighting was a repetition of that at Spotsylvania C. H., though of a sharper, more concentrated character. The enemy's sharpshooters had at- tained great accuracy, and the least object, a head or an arm, shown above the earthworks was almost with cer- tainty hit by them. The battery, also here placed behind a protective line and exposed to close range return fire, was hotly engaged, and lost its captain, Edward S. McCarthy, who was instantly killed during the ac- tion, on the 3rd of June. Lieutenant R. M. Anderson, succeeded to the com- mand, by promotion, and remained captain to the end of the war.

CHAPTER XXII.
AFTER the battle at Cold Harbor, Grant, in continuing his flank move- ments, swung his army across the James to Petersburg, and the Howit- zers took position on the line of earthworks extending from the river to that town, and about eight miles from the latter. Their camp, on Dunn's Farm, was permanent for the season and during the remainder of the siege of Richmond. Their mili- tary duties were confined to main- taining a state of expectancy and readiness; their active operations were quite suspended, for pitched bat- tles were over. The camp was made comfortable, and, later on, winter quarters were as lively and agreeable as usual. The facilities for visiting Richmond by train, foot or horse, had never been so great, and furloughs and leaves were liberally granted.

During the course of the discouraging winter, when the Confederacy seemed to be visibly falling to pieces, every device was put in practice "to kill time." Improvised amusements were the order of day and night. There were many amusing occurrences, and many practical jokes were played on the innocent. For instance, during a cold spell of weather some of the more frolicsome veterans managed to pass off instructions on the novices of the night guard "to blow in the vents of the cannon in order to keep them clear," which operation brought forth a full budget of experiences and gossip for the next day. Many were the "boxes " and other good things that the company received, from their families in Richmond, by the railroad which passed through the camp- grounds and was handy in bringing over relatives and friends to "see the boys." So the winter wore away, the number of defenders constantly diminishing, men and horses growing thinner, the lines sparsely occupied,

provisions and forage reduced. At last, on the 1st of April, the crisis was reached. Grant saw his chance to open the spring campaign early, and pushed forward to the assault, which could not be resisted. After a light engagement, General Lee hastily re- treated, with what force and mate- rial he could muster together, and many guns had to be left behind, be- cause horses, either starved or killed off, were lacking to drag them away. The Howitzers had preserved their own horses. Then commenced the retreat, which lasted up to the final place of surrender at Appomattox C. H. The battery had its full share in this week's campaign of steady hard- ship, privation and skirmishing. The sharp combat of Sailor's Creek showed conclusively that both ad- vance and retreat were cut off for the noble remnant of the Army of North- ern Virginia, and, having done all that could be done, General Lee sur- rendered. In sorrow and anguish came the abrupt closing of the strug-

gle for the great principle of self- government founded and developed in Virginia. In the sadness and vexa- tion of these last moments, the guns of the Howitzer battery were formally buried, laid away from all sight un- der the ground; they no longer be- longed to Virginia, but they had done her good service, just as the dead and the living of the whole army had done her good service. Materially viewed, all was lost. In reality Virginia had triumphed. Her cause was won-a fact then instinctively felt, though ob- scured, since placed in clear light. Her victory was a moral one, costly, but enduring-to yield fruit. It is only by right derived from this strug- gle, from this moral victory, that Virginia, in union with the fast devel- oping South, now stands loftily erect, respected and honored everywhere, utterly untouched by the workings of the malicious or the utterances of the foolish.

CHAPTER XXIII.
CAMPAIGNING, throughout, was much enlivened by a lavish flow of humor from "the professionals," who were never at a loss to turn anything to use. They were always at hand, and, even if they could have left the company, they relished its applause too keenly to have done so. Their inventions, anecdotes, remodeled sto- ries, and gossip yielded endless enter- tainment. The originality of "these set sort of" Howitzers was unmistak- able, their naturalness genuine, and, whether in camp or on the road, their flashes lit up a general merriment. There were many of these conspicuous characters, "originals," after various patterns, found during the four years in a company of such exceptionally good material. Witty commanders like "John," "Tom," "Ben," "Mon- key," not to mention the long list,
1
125
IN THE WAR.
were invincible in their respective veins, irrepressible in spirits, and in- dispensable to the general well being. Their observant powers had a fine field to work in. They made profuse use of nicknames, and the brands they stamped were indelible, far from being forgotten after this long lapse of time. A mere enumeration of some of them is sufficient to instantly and vividly recall to any veteran's mind heaps upon heaps of souvenirs, words, places, faces. Here are a few photo- graphs :- "Suggs," "Prindle," "Mon- key," "Sandusky," "Joe Miller," "Pinetop," "Beau," "The Baron," "Tantrobobus," "The Brigand," "Old Mortality," "Skipper," "Lu- cas," "Roger."'
The company was kept well re- cruited, generally with those corre- sponding to the original members. The dates of arrival of some of the more distinguished recruits, who be- came "pillars" in the organization, were referred to as the events in its life. Transfers from other companies
126
RICHMOND HOWITZERS
were abundantly made to its ranks, not from them, except by way of pro- motion, and of this latter category there was quite a number. To be a member was really better than being a commissioned officer outside, or, in- deed, inside the company, so cherished and pleasant was it. There was no ambition displayed by any of the pri- vates to hold any office, from cap- taincy to corporalship; discipline did not pinch and all were equally a band of brothers fighting for Virginia. Offices, at elections, went as it were by default, almost to any one, to those who would take them rather than to seekers, because of these there were none to speak of. However, "public opinion " saw that only the fit should hold command.

CHAPTER XXIV.
THE battery suffered severely in the great battles fought by the Army of Northern Virginia, in all of which except two, Cedar Run and Second Manassas, it shared. Some of its best members perished on the battle-field. In killed and wounded, in deaths from wounds and illness, many were cut off in the very flower of their youth. Cap- tain Edward S. McCarthy was killed on the field of second Cold Harbor, after having held the chief com- mand of the battery over two years. He was instantly killed by a sharp- shooter's ball which penetrated the middle of his forehead just as he arose from behind the earthwork to inspect the enemy's position. By the death of this gallant officer, the com- pany lost not only an able, efficient head. but a personal friend, as he was
128
RICHMOND HOWITZERS
to all its members. His judicious course in camp and on the field was fully appreciated, and his generous, high spirit endeared him to every one under his orders. John Herring and IV. L. Waddill were killed at Malvern Hill. Morrison, while acting as driver, was killed at the battle of , Sharpsburg, by the explosion, just over his head, of a shell which cut him half in two. Nat. Selden and Tom Barksdale were killed at Chan- cellorsville, the first so young in years and appearance as to have been called a " thirteen-year old boy," by his joking comrades. Allen Morton and Dewees Ogden were killed in action during the battle of Gettysburg. Allen Morton was gunner of the first piece, and when in the act of perform- ing his duty as such, steadily sighting and directing the gun, was torn into fragments by a shell which exploded where he was standing. Ogden, while the battery was firing as rapidly as possible, ran up to his gun with a shell for use and was felled dead to

the ground by a shrapnell shot. Henry Terrell was also killed at Get- tysburg, but lingered a short while in the field hospital after having been struck. Cary Eggleston was mor- tally wounded at the battle of Spot- sylvania C. H., wherein he displayed a reckless bravery, and, when being borne off the field, enthusiastically shouted in response to the inquiry of a general "Who have you got there ? " -- "Only another school teacher in the Confederacy, General!" Amputation of his arm resulted in his death at the field hospital. John Moseley was killed at Cold Harbor by a sharp- shooter's shot which struck him squarely in the forehead. Charles Croxton, after being promoted to a lieutenancy in a cavalry regiment, was killed in the battles around Richmond. George E. King, who started out with the company as its twelve year old English drummer boy, joined another command, after the first battle, and later was killed. In the early days of the war, get-

ting rid of the inactivity of camp life was frequently secured through volunteering for action in the nu- merous skirmishes that took place. During a skirmish in which the bat- tery was engaged on the Potomac in August, 1861, John Barr volunteered, after his section had ceased firing, to go with Captain Ball's cavalry troop for the purpose of further annoying the enemy before the fight should cease, and in so doing became the first wounded Howitzer. Tom Whit- ing was severely wounded in the bat- tle of Williamsburg and incapacitated for further service in the field. George R. Crump was severely wounded in the battle of Seven Pines, incapaci- tated for further service, and obliged to leave the army. Charles E. Wingo was wounded in the arm and leg at the battle of Sharpsburg so as to un- fit him for further duty with the army. When his arm was shattered by the projectile, he hastily left the gun to reach the shade of a tree some little distance away, and, as he had

fastened to his side the pouch of fric- tion primers, the gunner, Charles L. Todd, knowing that the gun was use- less without primers, ran after him, and Lieutenant Anderson, seeing both speeding off, ran shouting after them, whereupon the general commanding the supporting brigade also sent a colonel running after all three to see what was the matter, which, how- ever, ended satisfactorily, without more ado. Such an occurrence was comical, but there was also danger in it, for panics on battle-fields are re- corded that were due to a less dis- turbing accident. John B. Royall was wounded in the battle of Chancellors- ville, disabled for active duty, detailed to the signal service, and was in- stantly killed by a shell from a gun- boat which fired on the blockade run- ner he served upon near the harbor of Wilmington. David S. Doggett, after joining White's Battalion of Vir- ginia cavalry, lost his right arm dur- ing one of the largest cavalry engage-
132

ments of the war at Brandy Station, on June 9, 1863, between Stuart and Pleasanton. William P. Smith lost his leg in the battle of Gettysburg, having been struck by a shell that necessitated amputation, and he was left a prisoner on the field, but soon returned to Virginia. P. McNamee also lost his leg in the battle of Gettysburg, and was left a prisoner in the hospital on that field. Ben Lambert's right arm was shattered at second Cold Harbor, and, by a singular coincidence, on the anniver- sary of the same day, and at the same hour, that the same arm had been previously wounded during the noto- rious "Kansas War"; he was perma- nently disabled while acting as num- ber one at the fourth gun. Charles M. Pleasants was struck in the leg on the field of Spotsylvania C. H. and disabled for furthur service. Among other wounded, those who received slight or flesh wounds, were R. A. Stiles, Bob McCandlish, Henry Kep-

pler, Charles Poindexter, Ned Snead, John Pleasants, John A. Scott, James T. Gray, John B. Wise, Harry Sublett.
The company was compelled to leave several of its members behind on the field of Gettysburg, and they became prisoners; like the other pris- oners in northern camps and forts, they were treated as badly as was to be expected under the circumstances. These captured Howitzers were: James T. Gray, Charles Poindexter, Henry Keppler, William P. Smith, P. McNamee, Henry Barnes, Wallace Washington-all either wounded or ill and required by the surgeons to re- main behind in the field hospital. After the first battle of Manassas, the company was joined by many eager young men, some of them boys in point of years, for whom school or business had no attractions equal to those of the tented field. Just about this time, the camp at Centreville had the pleasure of making the acquaint- ance of T. D. Moncure and of welcom- ing him as a member in the ranks;
1

it was not long before he became a universal favorite and so remained to the end, closing as a lieutenant of the company. A few weeks later, at Leesburg, James T. Gray came up from Richmond to join "the Howit- zers." He was a mere boy, fresh from Randolph Macon college, on vacation, who had, after much pleading with his father, obtained consent to join the army, wherein his elder brother was already serving. In his youthful inexperience he stipulated with the captain that he should not be made a driver, or given a pair of horses to take care of, but be allotted an appa- rently more exalted position at the gun. He remarked to the captain that he knew nothing about taking care of horses, which confession was verified subsequently when the inex- orable necessities of "detailing" put him to the task of currying a team ; his practice was to curry both horses at once, and the result of this was merely to furnish more matter for rippling laughter to the irrepressible

"Lieutenant Nimmo," mostly "John," or "Old John," who, like a good wit, made use of anything. While the battery was in camp near Orange C. H. on one occasion, "Jimmy " became "chief surgeon" of the "Doctors' Squad," a well known burlesque or- ganization got up expressly for the purpose of looking after the health of the four detachments, in ways and with prescriptions that were peculiar, though certainly not bland. After the battle of Chancellorsville, he fell ill and was sent to the receiving hos- pital at Richmond, but, as the army soon started for Pennsylvania, he managed to escape without a dis- charge and joined the march in the Valley; though his illness barely en- abled him to keep up, he worked at his gun in the battle of Gettysburg, and, at its ending, his ailing condition was such that the doctors ordered him to be left behind in the field hos- pital. After passing fifteen months in prison, he was discharged, rejoined the Howitzers, and served till the end.
136
RICHMOND HOWITZERS
A few nights preceding the surrender at Appomattox C. H., while engaged cooking with his mess of the fourth detachment, a musket ball fired by the enemy struck him in the breast, but, as it was spent, it could not pene- trate the rolled blanket and coat around his body, and merely left a stunning, bad bruise. Next morning, on perceiving a big black spot on his breast, he remarked to a companion : "Ned, mortification has setin !" " Yes, I reckon it has, Jimmy," was "The Baron's" laughing answer. "The Baron " had his own way of laughing occasionally, though generally so grave, solemn and precise in his natu- ral style, as to have suggested this title at the hands of one of his best friends. On one occasion, when stand- ing around a camp fire, he remarked in a deep, bass voice, and way-off look up at the tops of the trees, to a party just up from Richmond, "Any- thing on the boar-rds to-day?" One of his tent mates indistinctly making out this reference to the newspaper

bulletin boards immediately called out: "What's that you say, Ned ?" "The Baron," with a withering glance: "I didn't speak to you, sir!" "Well, I noticed you were not around to-day when we pitched the tent!" was the snubbed tent mate's parting shot. This sort of joking wasinvaria- bly seasoned with the nicest of ameni- ties, by way of contrast to the rude doings of warfare.

CHAPTER XXV.
AN association of veterans, or of those who belonged to the Howitzers' organizations during the war, gives an annual banquet on the 13th of December, anniversary of the battle of Fredericksburg, and it furnishes the opportunity for pleasant reunion and agreeable recollections. These banquets are attended by the new, or present, company of Howitzers, which cherishes the reputation that the original company won in the field, and keeps its flag flying. During the recent trip of the Howitzers to New Orleans, for the purpose of taking part in the Mardi Gras festivities, some of the veterans went along and tramped about the streets there in good military style; special honors were paid them by the Washington Artillery which had in the olden time been so well received in Richmond,
1
139

and which won such a high reputa- tion on Virginia's fields. Naturally all veterans take pleasure in relating and hearing of campaign experiences. The Howitzer veterans do not deny themselves this pleasure. Wherever they may be, in whatever land or clime, where one or two, or more, meet, there the copious military past is dived into, the subject of their army life is brought up for delightful men- tion and discussion, and they are mo- mentarily carried back to the days of their youth and the stirring period of ever memorable events. "Agecannot wither, nor custom stale" the infinite variety of these recollections.
The generation stepping upon the scene since the war has unquestion- ably heard much of this theme, per- haps an excess that has at times interfered with their own present do- ings, and given birth to a sensation of monotonousness creeping over them and enfolding them like a fog, seen through darkly; doubtless so, and such sensation is naturally ex-
7
140 RICHMOND HOWITZERS
cusable, for people must live in the present, and "things that move sooner catch the eye than what not stirs." It has been said that more "war talk " goes on in Virginia than anywhere else. Yes, and for cause. Its memories and results are not of the fading kind : verbal narrations by the participators over, the topic will still stand on the page of history, and it will stand there firm.
A truth, a great fact, being imper- ishable, lives of itself. Its life is so solid that it needs no support, going on its way unconsciously or only self- consciously, and so there is no re- quirement for it as it imposes itself. When people get up in the morning, they do not take note of the fact that they are possessed of a pair of hands, but simply use them. The struggle of 1861-65 is an illustration of such a kind of life. It asks no favors, begs no notice or "honorable mention," because it is indelibly impressed, not merely on the page of history, but on the stock of people who own these

fifteen Southern states. In other words, it is a constituent part of them, entering into the warp and woof of their very being. Superficial utterances on the part of the thought- less and the ignorant are of course natural, and continuous, but without any consequence. What gives weight to Virginia and the South to-day ?- what has caused their astonishing re- cuperation, their relative prosperity, and substantial position before the world? The performance of duty, of having been true to themselves at a critical juncture. The high character- istics inherited from the master race of the globe enabled them first to start on a high plane, and then to keep there when a redoubtable effort was made to shove them off, and there they stand now, even on a still higher one: Smith and Washington at one end, Lee and Jackson at the other. Are the sons and daughters different from the fathers and mothers? Not so-they are the same, and must remain so, for their nature can not
142
RICHMOND HOWITZERS
change. Yes, present and future gen- erations would doubtless do as well, may be even better, under emergen- cies, whether these should be of the same sort as those that accidentally cropped out in 1861, or otherwise. Meanwhile it is by no means amiss that earnest attention in present af- fairs, or as commonly remarked "a wrapping up in business and money making," should be exhibited in the South, or that comforts and improve- ments should be sought after. All the better-it is commendable that they should be. Has not the parent country, England, followed such a course, does she not give such an ex- ample at the present moment, and yet has not her history proved that she never failed herself, and is there not an absolute conviction every- where that she would act dutifully to and for herself upon any pinch what- ever? Both artificial and natural his- tory prove that the elements direct- ing a strong race of people are compulsory, irresistibly vital and

enduring. "No history on our side!" Yes, the very best-a living one. What was the war? The upholding of the principle of self-government, involving truth, justice, fair play, un- der a system of proper checks and disciplines, divine and human, the same principle that has. long, virtu- ally, underlaid England, that under- lies the South, and could also have underlaid the Puritan stock of the North if it had not been so greedy, fa- natical, unprincipled, and foolishly opened the doors of its section to flooding by continental Europeans. Now, that these, after being used to kill the soldiers of the South, have crowded North and West, the rate being two foreigners to one native on the grand total of population, the Puritan descendants begin to feel where the shoe is pinching in their vast Bedlam of discordant races speaking outlandish tongues; but there is little or no prospect of relief for them, and, truly, another result of their folly and mischief even

squints plainly at the forming of sepa- rate clanships, or nationalities, with- in their own borders. Nemesis is in their homes, tramping about rather promiscuously, in various ways, financial, political, moral, social and especially anarchistic. It may be a penance imposed that they should now be opening their eyes to the truth that local rights, state rights, individual rights, do contain some grains of man's highest civilization, and that only those who deserve and maintain them are allowed the high privilege of indulging in them. The meaning of the war, all around, looms up in so much clearer light. Secession was "magnificent," unparalleled as a contention for high principle, though perhaps strict martinets may claim that the war itself was not sci- entific militarism, and hence horribly mismanaged. They may possibly be right, but their claim would signify nothing in face of its infinitely higher predominant aim of supporting Con- stitutional Right, altogether in which

assertive spirit we now see that it was conducted, and, in the nature of things, only could have been conduct- ed. The Southern leaders, civil and military, corresponded to their peo- ple :- neither could be wrenched from settled inoorings, from trained and inherited practices, in order to secure unity of military direction-the pre- requisite of dictatorship to yield the fruit of conquest.
