the opinion of high officers that no troops will be needed for
garrison duty in the South. The rebels have been so completely
whipped that they will never want to try another rebellion. I
understand that Jeff. made no stipulation for his personal safety,
but said he was willing to take his trial before the courts, and
trust to the mercy of the American people. The only difficulty in
the negotiations was on the question of the confiscation of landed
property, and I have not learned how that was arranged. But I
believe that we have been so completely victorious that we can
afford to be merciful, and that a general amnesty will do more to
cement the Union than the most rigorous punishment. The punishment
that the South has already endured is like Cain's "greater than they
can bear." The destruction of life in this war in the South has been
terrible.
The news that Johnston had asked for terms on which to surrender his
army was published on the 16th. On the morning of the 17th a gloom
was thrown over the whole army by the announcement of the
assassination of the President, which was reported to have occurred
on the 11th. I never saw such a gloomy, sad time since I have been
in the army as that. I don't think we knew how much we did think of
him until then. Many expressed the opinion that if it had been Andy
Johnson and Stanton, it would not have been much of a calamity. The
next day we had New York papers of the 14th which made no mention of
the murder, and we all thought we had been hoaxed. Then the
explanation was made that the operator at Morehead City had made an
error, and that the assassination had been on the 14th instead of
the 11th, and now I hardly know what to believe about it. We shall
probably get more news today.
We are about to move our camp, and now for the first time comfort
instead of safety is considered in the selection. Just think of it!
I can hardly realize it. No more skirmishing, no more digging
trenches and building breastworks, no more whistling bullets,
rattling grape-shot, or screaming shells, no more friends and
comrades to be killed or wounded.
I don't know what has become of all my letters lately. The mail has
come in here three times, and I have not had a letter. My last
letters were dated in February, except one from * * * of March 7. I
suppose they will all come in a heap one of these days. * * * The
weather is very fine though almost too warm. We have occasional
showers, and vegetation is growing fine. This part of North Carolina
is very fine country and crops look well.
A great many of Lee's paroled army are coming in here, and they seem
more pleased at being whipped or at getting home than we do at
having gained a victory. Some of them say they cheered louder when
they surrendered than Grant's army when they captured them.
* * * * *
Our camps were now overrun with citizens and paroled Confederate
soldiers, who were hunting for horses that they had lost; some of them
had come as far as sixty or seventy miles. We gave them all the spare
horses that we had, for we knew that the Government would have to help
them in some way to keep them from starvation. We also issued to them
large quantities of rations, for there was nothing eatable left in all
the track of Sherman's army. On the 29th, general orders were issued
announcing the formal surrender of Johnston's army.
_Homeward_
On the next day began the march to Washington. We entered Richmond on
May 11, and on the 15th camped near the old battle-field of
Chancellorsville. On the 24th we marched into Washington, where the
Union army passed in review before all the dignitaries of our Nation,
the representatives of foreign lands, and the immense throngs of people
who had gathered from far and near to see Sherman's veterans. For this
review, we selected from our Regiment, eight companies of thirty-two men
each--the best drilled soldiers that we had. It was my place to ride in
the rear of the Regiment as it marched down Pennsylvania Avenue, and no
command made a better show than ours. From the Capitol to the reviewing
stand, the marching and wheeling were simply perfect.
We now went into camp near Bladensburg, where all of the men whose terms
of service expired before October 1 were mustered out and sent home. On
June 6, General Hawley issued his farewell order to the old Brigade.
When it was broken up on the next day, the officers of the Second
Massachusetts sent to the officers of our regiment the formal expression
of the feeling with which they parted from us. We replied in a similar
letter. Even now, after a lapse of twenty-six years, it stirs the blood
to read these two messages.[3]
[3] This correspondence was as follows:
Second Massachusetts Infantry,
Camp Slocum, Washington, D. C, June 4,
1865.
We, the undersigned, officers of the Second Massachusetts Infantry,
wish to express to the officers of the Third Wisconsin Infantry our
heartfelt regret that the fortunes of the service are about to
separate our respective organizations.
From the campaign of 1862, in the Shenandoah Valley to the present
glorious close of this bloody war, we have fought and marched side
by side with you in almost every rebellious state. To have been
brigaded together for so long a time is in itself remarkable; no less
so is it that between our two regiments there should always have
existed such strong feelings of friendship and mutual regard, untinged
by the slightest shadow of jealousy.
As we recall now, some of the hard positions we have been in, we
cannot help remembering how often our anxiety was lessened by the
knowledge that the old Third Wisconsin was close at hand to support
us. We know that you have had the same thoughts about us. Nothing in
this whole war will be pleasanter for us to look back upon than this
feeling of mutual respect and reliance. It not only elevated the tone
of both our regiments, but we honestly believe, it went a great way
toward making our brigade and division what they are now acknowledged
to be--among the very best organizations of the army.
We assure you that in our own State, wherever the Second Massachusetts
is known, its brother regiment is also famous. Whenever any of us
have been at home, among the first inquiries would be, "How is the
Third Wisconsin?" It has been with pride that we have answered, "It is
the same staunch old regiment that fought at Antietam and
Chancellorsville."
These are not compliments but expressions of plain, honest feelings.
We have been knit together by deeds not words; deeds, which, as time
goes on, we shall look back upon with continually increasing pride.
Together we have shared dangers and hardships, victories and defeats;
and it is hard now for us to part; but in the natural order of things,
the war being over, you go towards your homes in the west, we stay near
ours in the east. Let us not, however, though separated by thousands of
miles, forget these old associations. Let us rather cherish them with
the fondest recollections: let it be a story to hand down to our
children and children's children, how the Second Massachusetts and
Third Wisconsin fought shoulder to shoulder through the great
rebellion, and achieved together glory and renown. We ask you to accept
this testimonial as a slight evidence of our affection and esteem. We
bid you farewell, and God bless you, one and all,
C. F. Morse, Lieutenant Colonel, Com.; James Francis, Major; C. E.
Munn, Surgeon; John A. Fox, Adjutant; E. A. Hawes, Quartermaster;

A. Thayer, Theodore K. Parker, Dennis Mehan, Henry N. Comey,

Third Wisconsin V. V. Infantry,
Camp Slocum, near Washington, D. C.
June 7, 1865.
To the officers of the Second Massachusetts Veteran Volunteer
Infantry:
The undersigned, officers of the Third Wisconsin Veteran Volunteer
Infantry, tender their heartfelt thanks for your friendly communication
of the 4th inst. It was with mingled feelings of pride and pleasure,
not, however, unmixed with pain, that we perused it--pride at being
thus associated with a regiment, which by patient endurance, good
discipline, and unflinching bravery, has won for itself so honorable a
name as the Second Massachusetts; pleasure at the thought that, even
amid the stirring scenes of active war, the finer attributes of
humanity are not forgotten, and that friendship, one of the noblest
sentiments of the soul, still asserts her claims; pain at the
recollection of the many gallant and brave, whose names have been
associated with yours in the great struggle now happily terminated,
but who have given their lives for a country they loved so well.
That "every rose has its thorn" was never more apparent to us than
now. While in the toil and suffering of our active campaigns, we have
looked forward with unmixed joy to the time when the angel of peace
should once more spread her wings over the land, and we should return
home to enjoy the sweets of social and civil life, but now that the
hour is at hand when we must say farewell to those with whom we have
been associated in the service of our common country, when we must join
the parting hand with you, our companions and brothers in arms, our joy
is mingled with sadness and our smiles with tears.
We accept your communication, not only as a manifestation of personal
regard, but also as a fraternal greeting from the east to the west,
which rising superior to local jealousies and factional strife, and
remembering only the mingled dust of our dead on many battlefields, and
the common country for which they sacrificed their all, proclaims us,
in heart and in country, one and inseparable.
In parting, we assure you that, highly as we prize this expression of
sentiment toward us, and sacredly as we will preserve it as the highest
honor yet received, it is not needed to secure remembrance. The
ineffaceable pictures of the past deeply engraven in our hearts, and
lit up by the eternal flame of friendship will ever keep the Second
Massachusetts Veteran Volunteer Infantry prominent among our pleasing
memories in the future.
Wishing you all success and happiness and Heaven's best blessing, we
bid you farewell. We are, brothers, yours fraternally,
George W. Stevenson, Lieutenant-Colonel; Warham Parks, Major; J. G.
Conley, Surgeon; T. J. Kopff, Assistant Surgeon; A. C. Taylor,
Adjutant; J. T. Marvin, Quartermaster; I. E. Springer, Chaplain.
Captains--Ralph Van Brunt, Julian W. Hinckley, N. Daniels, E.
Giddings, A. D. Haskins, C. R. Barager, J. Woodford, John M.
Schweers, John E. Kleven. First Lieutenants--Stephen Lieurance,
Oliver A. Hegg, J. D. Goodrich, John Agnew, John B. Du Bois, Abner
Hubbell, J. D. Babcock, W. W. Freeman, George H. Cutter. Second
Lieutenants--E. V. Moran, Lewis Colby, Edwin F. Proctor, Elon G.
Biers, David Clark, A. S. Hill.
The Western veteran regiments still had work before them, and were not
mustered out. They were organized as a provisional Brigade under
Hawley's command, and ordered to Louisville, Kentucky. Our Regiment left
the east on June 11, travelling by way of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
to Parkersburg, and then down the Ohio River to Louisville. Here the
Regiment was filled up with men from other Wisconsin commands, that were
mustered out of service, until we had about 1,500 on our muster rolls.
It was rumored, and in fact intended, that we should go to Mexico to
drive out the French. The programme was entirely changed, however, when
news came of the voluntary withdrawal of the French soldiers, and
orders were issued to muster out our Regiment.
A considerable number of our old veterans did not want to go home. A
company was made up of those who wished to enter the services of the
Juarez government in Mexico--at least they wished to go, if I would go
in command. I was not quite ready, however, to become a soldier of
fortune. When our duty to the Federal Government had been accomplished,
I was as anxious as any to be mustered out of the army of war, and
return to the army of peace.
