ANECDOTES AND INCIDENTS OF MONTPE- LIER SOLDIERS.
The first man to offer his services to his country from Montpelier was Robert J. Coffey, who at the age of 19 years enlisted in Co. F, Ist Vt. regt., which was mus- tered into service May 2, 1861. Five more boys from the town responded to the call and enlisted in the same company within a few hours after. On being mus- tered out with the regiment, Aug. 15, 1861, Sergt. Coffey enlisted Sept. 5, 1861, in Co. K, 4th regiment. At the battle of Banks' Ford, Va., May 2, 1863, one inci- dent occurred, it being the next day after the 6th Army Corps had charged and captured Mary's Heights. During the battle, Co. K, 4th regiment was deployed as skirmishers. After making a charge and capturing a number of prisoners, and withdrawing back towards the rear, Ist Lieut.Chas. Carter who was in the command of the company, shouted " come on boys ; we will get more of them yet." Sergt. Coffey went forward with the lieutenant a short distance, when spying a rebel taking aim at the lieutenant from behind a tree, he fired, the ball taking effect in the rebel's arm, when he advanced and gave himself up a prisoner, and was sent to the rear. They then advanced to the brow of a small hill. The bullets coming thick, they crawled behind an old tree-top for protec- tion. Sergt. Coffey reloaded his rifle here, an Enfield, and as they were rising up to take their departure,-things getting a" little warm there-when they were front- ed by three rebels, an officer and two men, who upon the demand made by the serg- geant and lieutenant, surrendered and threw down their arms. As Lieut. Carter started with the prisoners to the rear, Sergt. Coffey heard the clanking of a sword, and. ran around the tree-top, and was met by a large, fine looking rebel officer. The reply to the demand of surrender made by Sergt. Coffey was a blow across the ser- geant's bayonet from the sword of the offi- cer, which was parried off. As the rebel drew his revolver to fire, the sergeant dis- charged his rifle at him from a position of charge bayonets. The officer fell dead,

being shot through the head. At this mo- ment Lieut. Carter called on Sergt. Coffey to come back with him. As the sergeant started to go, he saw a rebel captain and six men just below him, which was on the bank of a small stream. At this moment, when the captain was giving an order to his men, the sergeant pointed his empty rifle into his face and ordered him to sur- render. The captain thinking that they were surrounded exclaimed, " don't shoot," and ordered his men, who were in the rear of him several feet, to surrender. The cap- tain gave himself up; the other six men came upon the bank, five of them privates, all armed with Enfield rifles, and the other, a lieutenant, also well armed. Dropping their guns, the sergeant threw them into the stream below. As they ad- vanced towards where the captain stood, the lieutenant says to the captain, " what are we a doing here? he is all alone." The sergeant pointed his rifle into the lieu- tenant's face and cocked it, and told him to march on. As they advanced a squad of Co. A boys, who were forming a skir- mish line on the right, came in sight; the sergeant called on them for assistance, as they were but a few rods off ; which call they responded to by coming. Taking the swords from the captain and lieutenant, the sergeant marched them in the direction of his regiment, which had just formed a line of battle on a little rise of ground sev- eral rods in the rear. The sergeant deliv- ered them over to Col. Stoughton in the - presence of the regiment. The colonel directed him to take them to the rear and deliver them to the prevost guard. On their way the rebel captain informed Sergt. Coffey that his name was Carpenter, and that he was captain of a company in the 2Ist North Carolina regiment, that the lieutenant belonged to the same regiment, and also that the officer whom he killed, was a major of the same regiment. The five privates belonged to the 8th Louisiana regiment. There being no vacancy for promotion at that time, Sergt. Coffey was detailed with six other deserving men to go to Vermont and assist in making out the draft. Six days after he rejoined his
regiment ; he was wounded at Fairfa Court house, Va., in such a manner as t further disable him for service in the wai The above narration is authenticated b several comrades of his regiment as a tru narrative.
In addition to this narrative might b added many more of the daring deeds per formed by Montpelier " boys" in the army Among them that performed by privat Wallace W. Noyes of Co. F, 2d regimen who received special mention from th commanding officer at the battle of Spot sylvania, May 12, 1864. He mounted th enemy's breast works and fired some 3 rifles down into the enemy in rapid succes sion, they being loaded and passed up t him by his comrades from below ; the bu lets passing like rain above him, but l escaped unhurt, although a bullet passe through his cap and was knocked off; } was afterwards severely wounded, but r covered, and now resides in Montpelie
Another deed which is credited in histor from his commanding officer, was by Co poral William L. Washburn of the 3d V battery, at the engagement before Peter burgh, Va., in April, 1865. At one stag in the engagement, the severe firing fro the enemy's guns compelled the 3d batte. boys to leave their guns and retire behir some breast-works in the rear. Cor Washburn remained by his gun, a pounder, and loaded and fired alone, th the battery might not be silenced. The he continued until the " boys" returned the guns. He escaped without a scratc
