CHAPTER III.

THE CAMPAIGN OF 1865.

Never, since the first gun was fired at Sumter, had the prospects of

the Union cause appeared to be so nearly approximating a triumphant

result, as at the commencement of the year 1865. While the rebels

were daily, and almost hourly, losing all hope and confidence of

success, while, one after another, their avenues of supplies and

munitions of war were being closed to them, while their men, losing

all faith in the promises of their leaders, were deserting daily

by hundreds, and while their legislative assemblies were becoming

disorderly, and disorganized meetings where personal abuse and mutual

recriminations had long since taken the place of orderly and proper

debate,--even the most faint-hearted of those who had the interests

of the nation at heart, had begun to take courage, and to see the

dawn of a brighter day at length approaching. Sherman had made his

triumphant "march to the sea;" Fort Fisher had been captured and the

Cape Fear River, one of the principal blockade running ports, had

thus been effectually closed; Charleston was soon to fall and Sumter

once more bore the old flag aloft.

The rebel press, though arrogant and blatant to the last, in its

gross perversion of facts and its earnest endeavors to convert

any disaster to the Union arms, however trifling, into a great

Confederate victory, gave evident tokens, of a conviction, gradually

growing in force and spreading far and wide through the South, that

the frustration of their schemes was at hand, that secession was

a failure and its days numbered. The Richmond _Whig_, Petersburg

_Express_, and various other papers, tools of the rebel government,

in a series of articles, plausibly and cleverly written and well

calculated to deceive the unlettered masses of the South, claimed

for the South a better condition, than they had known since the

commencement of the war. Their army was reported by them to be well

fed, clothed and sheltered, the spirits and courage of the men to be

excellent and a certain and sure triumph of the Confederate cause,

was prophecied as about to be the result of the commencement of

hostilities, in which Lee would take the initiative in the spring.

On our side of the lines in front of Petersburg, however, a contrary

impression prevailed, and as the winter wore away, even the most

despondent began to cheer up as the hollowness of the Confederacy

became apparent, the most obtuse could see that the beginning of

the end was approaching, and all were looking forward to a speedy

crushing out and final extinction of the last spark of rebellion.

Throughout the whole of the long dreary winter, night after night,

shivering and half famished, miserably clothed, worse fed, and

wretchedly armed, the rebel pickets had deserted their posts and

came into our lines, all telling the same tale of suffering,

deprivation and disaffection. Sometimes singly, sometimes in squads

of three or four, or even greater numbers, they preferred running

their chances of being shot, by our men or their own, to lingering

on, suffering from cold and hunger, with an equal chance of being

eventually either shot or hung. The Army of the Potomac, on the

other hand, which had been comfortably hutted and furnished with the

best of food and clothing, through the winter, had received a large

accession to its numbers, both in recruits and also in convalescents

from the different hospitals; our leisure hours had been passed in

resting from the severe campaign of the preceding year, with drilling

enough to give us exercise, keep us in health, and to render us

more efficient as soldiers. The numerous desertions from the rebels

and the many successive Union victories had instilled confidence in

the minds of our men, just in proportion as it had dispirited and

demoralized the rebels, all felt sure of victory, and that the end

was at hand.

The commencement of the year found the 37th in winter quarters on

the Baxter road, just in front of their old battle field of the 17th

of June, and in rear of Fort Morton. Considerable addition had been

made to our numbers during the winter; a large majority had had an

opportunity of visiting their homes and friends; our casualties had

been few and the health and spirits of the entire regiment were

excellent. With increasing satisfaction, as each day's mail brought

tidings of further Union successes, we watched the net closing

tighter and closer around rebeldom and began to look forward toward

the prospect of a speedy return to our homes.

As the severer rigors of winter passed off, and the mild, warm days

of an early spring began to awaken the vegetable world from its long

sleep, the enemy, who had for some months, been remarkably quiet and

civil, commenced annoying us by assailing us with mortar and Parrott

shells whenever we attempted to indulge in a brigade drill or dress

parade. These exhibitions of animosity, however, beyond driving a few

timid natures to the doubtful security of pine trees and stumps, soon

ceased to create much excitement and served mainly as an excellent

preparation to accustom the ears of our new recruits to the sound

of these missiles. Nobody ever got hurt by them, and nobody cared

much for them. In the month of March we were visited by several

severe tornadoes which threw down a number of the trees, among which

our camp was built, and, on one occasion, killed one man, Corporal

Kenneday of company F.

And so the time wore on, till at length an order came "one fine

day" for all Sutlers to go to the base at City Point, for officers

and men to turn in all their superfluous winter clothing, and for

all arms and ammunition to be thoroughly inspected. The Army of the

Potomac was stripping for the fight. Again a few days and rumors,

undefined and indistinct at first, but gaining plausibility as time

passed on, began to circulate through our camps that "Sheridan had

come." And sure enough, one fine summer-like spring morning, three

or four wild, rough-looking individuals mounted on lean, but tough

wiry animals, rode into our camp, clothed in Confederate uniform,

and on being seized and questioned, declared themselves, not without

a certain pride in so doing, to be "scouts in the service of General

Sheridan." In confirmation, they pointed to a long line of dust, in

rear of our camp, where, with the aid of our field glasses, we could

dimly discern a large column of cavalry filing slowly along towards

the left, in full view of the enemy and within range of his guns,

proudly, defiantly, as if the mere fact of their being Sheridan's

men, were a safeguard in itself.

This looked like business, and we prepared ourselves accordingly,

remaining for the next three weeks in a continued state of excitement

and expectation. On one occasion we thought the fun had commenced,

a succession of loud cheers, or rather yells, accompanied by rapid

and continued firing from the picket line on our left, leading us to

suppose that Gen. Lee had opened the ball by taking the initiative

himself, and was about to try the strength of our position. We were

quickly under arms, and drawn up in line of battle, in the rear of

Fort Morton, ready to move, wherever fate and the commanding general

might choose to send us. Having waited there for an hour or two, and

the disturbance, which turned out to be nothing more than a mere

picket _emeute_, having gradually quieted down, we were permitted to

return in peace to our camp.

But more stirring scenes in the drama were at hand, time was rolling

along, and the 25th of March and 2d of April were approaching. The

rebellion, which the most sanguine of us never expected to end

before July, was even then tottering to its fall, and a few weeks

more were to see its final overthrow.

Ever since the nocturnal picket skirmish, I have mentioned above, the

general commanding the division had impressed on us the necessity of

exercising an extra amount of vigilance and caution; trench guards

were doubled, the constant supervision of the picket line and reports

as to the vigilance and efficiency of officers and men on duty

there, were rendered an imperative part of the duties of the brigade

officer of the day; brigade and regimental commanders exercised, in

most cases, a sleepless and cat-like supervision of everything that

occurred within the rebel lines, within their scope of observation;

the signal man on the Avery House waved his flags and lanterns,

frantically, day and night; our days were spent with field glasses

and telescopes stuck to our eyes as if they grew there, and our

night's rest was broken by orders sent round three or four times a

night exacting the observance of the greatest vigilance or demanding

information as to the movements of the enemy.

Our position became like that of "Sister Ann" in Bluebeard's tower

and the part of Fatima, was, as the play bills say, "ably sustained"

by our commanding generals, in their perpetual demands, as to whether

"We saw anybody coming?"

On the morning of the 25th of March we were aroused from such

restless sleep as we were in the habit of taking in those days, by

the sound of three shots fired in rapid succession from the rebel

lines, and quickly followed by a scattering fire of musketry. A very

few minutes sufficed for the donning of arms and accoutrements, and

in less time than it takes to read this page, we were under arms and

awaiting orders.

Meantime the batteries on either side had opened and were keeping up

a very lively interchange of missiles; close on our right the second

brigade was evidently warmly engaged, as a lively musketry fire,

enlivened once in a while with the report of a heavy gun, testified.

The morning was dull and cloudy and nothing had yet occurred to

enable us to form any conclusion as to what was on hand, but, after

a few minutes we were ordered down to the right of the brigade and

drawn up on the flank, at right angles to the main line of works, and

here we began to gather an inkling of the facts of the case.

Right in our front, on an eminence on the opposite side of a ravine,

on one side of which we lay snugly ensconced behind a light line

of works, was Fort Steadman, a large and very strong work built on

Hare Hill, the spot where we had encamped nearly a year ago, just

after the battle of the 18th of June. In and around this a fierce

fight was going on, and to the rear of it were to be seen flashes,

indicating that sharp skirmishing was going on in the direction of

Meade Station, The truth was at once apparent. Massing his forces

under cover of the night and taking advantage of the darkness of the

morning and the close proximity of our lines, the enemy had driven in

our picket line, surprised the garrison of the fort and captured it,

and was now pushing for the City Point Railroad, and, perhaps, City

Point itself, in fact _our lines were broken_.

By the time we had arrived at this conclusion, which was anything but

a pleasant one, the firing in our rear had increased considerably,

and daylight having at length fairly asserted its supremacy, we could

see the rebel troops falling rapidly back into Fort Steadman. It had

also become sufficiently light for our artillery to get the range

and open on the fort, which they were now doing with a will, making

their pieces speak with vigor and much to the purpose. This fact

the rebels seemed fully to appreciate and regulated the duration of

their second visit to the fort to a merely _passing_ one, passing

right through and over the parapet on the other side, back to their

own lines as fast as possible. The cause of their retreat was soon

apparent. Just as they commenced leaving, the third division of the

9th corps, under Brevet Major General Hartranft, appeared coming up

over the edge of the ravine, advancing in line of battle in excellent

order, and with the General at their head leading the charge. On they

go, unbroken and unwavering, leaving here and there a man on the

field, but never stopping or faltering. The "Johnnies" don't like the

look of things, they evidently think they are in a tight place, "and

have waked up the wrong passenger." And so they take their leave,

_piling_ over the parapets and swarming back to their lines like bees

from a hive, leaving behind them hundreds of their dead and wounded,

ten battle flags and any quantity of arms and accoutrements. A great

number prefer taking their chances of a Union prison to facing Union

bullets, and throwing away their arms, sneak in under cover of our

breastworks and surrender themselves as prisoners of war. Meanwhile

the 3d division has occupied Fort Steadman, the firing has ceased and

the 37th goes home to breakfast, having for the first and only time

been disengaged spectators of a battle.

The regiment suffered no loss in this affair, as although exposed

to some shelling, it was not directly engaged with any portion of

the enemy's forces, remaining on the field solely for the purpose of

covering the right flank and rear of the 1st brigade.

The next week was passed in an uneasy, ominous state of comparative

quiet, the lull that always precedes a storm of any kind whatever,

broken by occasional rumors and reports, and sundry turnings out at

unseasonable hours of the day and night. At length, on the evening of

Saturday, the 1st of April, our chief, suspecting that Lee was about

to evacuate, directed our batteries to feel the enemy's line, so as

to find out, if possible, whether he had withdrawn his artillery or

not. About half past ten the performance commenced, and the 37th was

ordered to fall in, as usual, and move down to the support of our

picket line.

Shortly after we had moved out of camp, the enemy began replying with

his mortars, showing that these, at least, had not been removed,

and, from their fire, one of our men was wounded as we marched down

the new covered way leading to our picket line. We soon got into

position in a deep valley or ravine, just in the rear of our picket

line, and there, for about three hours, were witnesses of one of

the most sublime and terrific spectacles of the war. Every gun and

every mortar along the whole length of the two opposing lines was,

by this time, fairly in action, and the various missiles, plainly to

be traced in their course through the air, by the train of sparks

from the burning fuse, were crossing one another at every angle and

in every direction. Watching this grand pyrotechnic display from

a secure and tolerably comfortable position, time passed rapidly

enough, till about half past twelve, on the morning of Sunday,

the 2d of April, when, the firing having gradually died away, we

were ordered to march out by the left flank and report at Brigade

Headquarters.

Arriving here, we were quickly joined by the 8th and 27th Michigan,

38th Wisconsin, and 109th New York, the 51st Pennsylvania, with a

company from each of the other regiments, being left to take care of

the picket line on our brigade front. After a short delay, we moved

rapidly off towards the left, and about an hour before daylight were

formed in line of battle in Fort Sedgwick, or, as it is better known,

"Fort Hell," the business that brought us there being to support

a charge that our 3d Division was about to make on Fort Mahone,

otherwise known as "Fort Damnation."

These works bore the reputation of being the strongest and most

formidable on the two lines, and it was with rather dubious feelings

that we waited for the signal to advance, and the words of Brutus:

--"Oh that a man might know

The end of this day's business, e're it come!

But it sufficeth, that the day will end,

And the end is known."

occurred to many of us, probably more than once, through the course

of the eventful day that was just beginning to dawn. At last the

order is given, and silently and rapidly, just as the first grey

streaks of dawn begin to shine in the east, we see the dusky forms

file out past us into the open field beyond the fort. Then our turn

comes next, and away we go with orders to keep as far to the left as

we can get. On we go, grape, canister and case shot whistling round

us in every direction, over a cornfield with the dried stalks still

standing--over our picket line--across a small marshy run--"this must

be the rebel picket line!" "hullo, there's a dead Johnny!" and in

another minute we have retaliated on the rebels for their attack of

the 25th of March, and Fort Mahone and two or three hundred yards of

the rebel works are in possession of the 1st Brigade, 1st Division of

the 9th Army Corps.

At daylight, we discover that during the darkness and confusion, two

companies of our regiment have separated somewhat from the rest, and

are lying in Fort Mahone, while the remainder of the regiment lie a

little to the right of that work. We hold our position all through

that day, while fighting is going on on each side of us, from the

Appomattox to the extreme left, and away round to the Five-forks,

where Wright and Sheridan are busy at work. But we have no time to

think of what is going on, on either side of us, events in our own

neighborhood demand all our attention. Several times, in the course

of the day, the rebels attempt to regain the fort, and as often we

send them back till the hillside in our front is thick with dead and

dying.

And so the 2d of April draws to a close, the rebel line is broken and

the city of Petersburg is, virtually, ours. All that night we pass,

under arms, in the rebel works, and at daylight on the 3d, advance in

line of battle, not a shot from the enemy to check our progress--we

can see the cannon remaining in several of the forts, but where are

the gunners?

"Did traitors lurk in the _rebel_ hold?

Had their hands grown stiff or their hearts grown cold?

I know not in sooth, but from yonder wall

There flashed no fire, there hissed no ball."

--_Siege of Corinth._

and now we are up to the second line of works, they are silent and

empty, and Gen. Hartranft, commanding the 3d Division of our Corps,

jumps astride of the 8-inch Columbiad, which, a week or two before,

had shelled his headquarters in the Avery House, and which he had

sworn he would "straddle."

And now the fact becomes evident, _Petersburg is evacuated_. We break

from line of battle into column, and dipping down into a ravine we

see, as we mount the hill on the other side, the cockade city lying

stretched out at our feet, the goal we have been striving for, for

almost a year, is won, and Petersburg is ours.

It seems strange and dream-like, at first, to stand there and look

down, at close quarters, on the spires and cupolas that for many

a long month we have watched from a distance, and to trace their

connections, with the buildings of which they formed a part, in

reality, instead of only in imagination, as before.

Yes, there it lay before us looking, somehow, strangely civilized

and peaceful with its old fashioned steep-roofed houses nestled down

amongst the trees, the smoke from the chimneys curling upwards into

the bright blue sky overhead--a crowd of darkies "Hurrahing and

Hallelujahing" around us, accompanying their expressions of delight

with a grotesque exhibition of antics and grimaces, and "_Bressing_

de Lord and the Yankees," about alike, for the freedom that had

this day come to them. And now as the light gets stronger, we see

the colors of the 2d Michigan waving from the Court House, and

the strains of a brass band come floating down the wind faint and

indistinct in the distance. But a note here and there is sufficient

to show that it is a salute to the flag that waves over the captured

city, and, as the well-known strains of the "Star Spangled Banner"

fall clearer and clearer on the ear, our own flags are "unfurled to

the glad breeze of heaven," and a cheer goes up to greet them, that

awakens the echoes of the city far and wide.

We sit down under the shade of the locust trees and discuss a hasty

breakfast, when the word is given, "Fall in," and we march back to

camp, to bid farewell to the spot that, for nearly six months, has

been our only home, to pack up our Lares and Penates and transporting

them, like Ulysses, (not Grant, but him of Troy) on our back, start

off in pursuit of the rebel army, or wherever it may please Grant to

send us.

The same evening the brigade was moved out on to the Boydton

Plankroad where the men were allowed a brief rest after a week of

duty, which had pretty well tired us all out, both officers and men.

It is true that we had had little or no marching, and only one day's

fighting, but the continual state of tension in which our nerves

were kept all that time, and the want of rest, made us all glad of a

respite from our labors.

We remained camped near the city till the 6th of the month, Col.

Ely, commanding 2d brigade, 1st division, 9th army corps, being

appointed Military Governor of the same, Brevet Major General Wilcox,

commanding the district. We found the inhabitants, for the most part,

orderly and well disposed, though a few cases of outrage towards our

troops occurred which were as much deprecated and resented by the

more orderly and well behaved portion of the community, as by us.

* * * * *

PETERSBURG is a remarkably neat and pretty city, situated on the

Appomattox River, about ten miles above its confluence with the

James at City Point. Before the war it contained somewhere in the

neighborhood of twenty thousand inhabitants, though at the time

of our occupation of it, its population scarcely numbered over

fifteen thousand. It was originally a trading post, established by

one Peters, for traffic with the Indians, and in process of time,

and as the country became settled, became a place of trade for the

settlers in the vicinity. The original town was located about where

the cemetery at Blandford now stands, and for a time, was known as

Peter's, afterwards as Pocahontas, this latter name being still given

to a hamlet across the river, forming a suburb of the city. The name

was finally changed to Petersburg which it retains to this day; it

is situated principally in Dinwiddie county, and is the principal

tobacco shipping point in the South. The neighboring counties of

Prince George and Pocahontas, have a fertile, highly productive

soil, raising corn, tobacco, sugar-cane and cotton as well as wheat,

barley, oats and other cereals. It has railroad communications with

Richmond, distant twenty-five miles, Burkesville sixty miles, Weldon,

N. C., seventy-five miles, Norfolk and Suffolk sixty-three miles, and

a short railroad also connects it with City Point, its port of entry,

to which place there is easy access, from the coast, for vessels

drawing fifteen feet of water.

There are several large cotton, flour, and lumber mills erected on

the rapids of the Appomattox, which furnish an unequalled water

power, as yet only partially developed, and a proper attention paid

to which would largely increase the wealth and importance of the

place. The streets are wide and straight, nicely ornamented with

shade trees, and the public buildings, for the most part, well

designed and well finished. In hotels the city is rather deficient,

there being but one decent one, the Jarrett House, in the whole

place. Sycamore street, the principal business street of the city,

contains a few fine buildings and stores, and quite a number of

handsome residences.

The stores were mostly closed on our arrival, and but few of them had

much of a stock on hand, Confederate scrip having for a long time

been quoted "low" and the supply scant. On the Saturday preceding

the Monday on which we arrived in the city, flour had been sold at

$1,400 a barrel, wood $50 a cord and other necessaries of life in

proportion. The lower part of the city bore severe traces of the

siege, hardly a house being unmarked by either shot or shell. The gas

works were nearly torn to pieces, a long chimney, eighty-five feet

in height, which had once formed part of the building, having been

thrown down a short time before our arrival, after having received

thirty-five shells through it in different places. The clock on the

Town Hall had also been perforated by a three inch shell, though

strange to say, the missile had not damaged the works in the least.

Two bridges across the Appomattox and three large warehouses full of

tobacco, had been set on fire and destroyed by the rebels when they

evacuated. A fine strong bridge leading across the river, from the

South Side railroad depot to the railway company's machine shop, had

been loaded with two new locomotives and all the cars that could be

placed on it, and then set fire to, cars and locomotives being thus

precipitated into the river.

A large quantity of commissary stores, consisting of corn meal,

bacon, coffee, (unroasted,) sugar and tobacco, was found in the rebel

government warehouses and were afterwards issued to the destitute

citizens, irrespective of color. Captain John Cooper, of the 5th

Wisconsin, was appointed C. S., and the scene in his office, from

daylight till dark, was a novel one.

Ladies of the first family type, clothed in deepest black, with a

sullen, defiant look on their handsome faces, sometimes closely

veiled; Africa, of all shades, from the genuine sable "mungo," with

skin like polished ebony, and showing from between his extended

gums a formidable array of ivory, to the graceful quadroon, hardly

a shade darker, and very often a great deal handsomer than her late

mistress, standing within a few feet of one another, all jubilant and

triumphant, all rejoicing in their new found freedom, kind and polite

to the boys in blue, their liberators, and obsequious, to a degree,

to shoulder straps. Poor things, what their future may be, we know

not, but they can never know a happier day in their lives, than when,

there on the third of April, 1865, the fetters fell from their hands,

as from Paul and Silas in prison, and they stood, for the first time

in their lives, free men and women.

On the 6th of April, the 1st division, 9th army corps, was relieved

from duty in Petersburg, and moved out on the line of the South Side

Railroad, having its headquarters at Burkesville, and the corps being

strung along the road from that place to Petersburg. The 37th moved

out at daylight and camped about dark near Ford's Station, from

whence they were afterwards removed to beyond Wellsville and in the

neighborhood of Black's and White's, where they remained till after

the surrender of Lee and Johnston and their armies, guarding the

railroad and the farms and plantations adjoining, and administering,

as far as our commissariat would permit, to the wants of the adjacent

population.

Overrun and devastated by two contending armies, the once rich

country, surrounding Petersburg and Richmond, is to-day a wilderness.

Not only have the crops been swept off to supply the wants of the

Confederate soldiers, but the cattle and horses have been also

absorbed for the same purpose. Fences have been torn down and burnt,

houses, sheds and barns stripped of their coverings to furnish huts

for winter quarters, and the whole country converted into a scene of

devastation and ruin. Deserters from both armies have formed bands

of guerrillas for the purposes of plunder and pillage, men from the

opposing armies having in some cases associated together for this

purpose.

A rather amusing incident of this kind which occurred whilst we

were near Black's and White's, may serve as an illustration. Col.

Harriman, having been informed that large body of guerrillas had

formed a camp in his neighborhood, sent Capt. Burnett, A. D. C.

on his staff, accompanied by a sufficient force, to reconnoitre

and report on the condition of affairs. The Captain set out on his

expedition and soon arrived in sight of the enemy, (?) whom he found

to consist of about a couple of hundred colored individuals camped

in due form, and with camp guards, &c., duly posted. The _commanding

officer_ was a private of the 5th Mass. Colored Cavalry, who had, by

some means or other, strayed from his command, and had, like David,

"gathered to him every one (of his color) that was in distress and

every one that was discontented," and had established a camp in

regular military style.

The sable chieftain sat at his tent door as the Captain approached,

and while one intelligent son of Africa was carefully cleaning his

master's (?) horse, another highly intellectual contraband was

blacking his boots. The scene was a rich one and might be taken for

the frontispiece of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's next novel. The

terms of capitulation were not, we believe, quite as ceremonious nor

so advantageous as those agreed on between Gens. Grant and Lee, for

poor Cuffee was sent back to his regiment under arrest, and his sable

warriors who belonged to the neighboring plantations dispersed to

their homes, and their arms, which they had collected from the battle

field of the Five Forks, turned over to Uncle Sam.

Whilst camped here the sad news reached us of the brutal

assassination of President Lincoln by the wretched maniac, Booth, and

I say maniac, not to palliate his crime, but because his act was one

none but a maniac would have committed. For, however much he may have

sympathized with the Southern cause and hated its fancied oppressors,

he might have known that such an expression of malignity and revenge,

even though sanctioned by the Confederate government, as after events

have shown it was, would, as it in fact has, crush out all sympathy

for the rebellion, at home and abroad, and extinguish the last

sentiment of pity for what its partisans have been pleased to call

their heroic resistance against superior numbers.

The effect the news of the assassination had on the army may be

imagined, but cannot be described. In the midst of our rejoicings at

the successes which had so lately crowned our efforts, and while the

praises and acclamations of the North were yet ringing in our ears,

it fell on us like a thunderbolt. Just as the dawn of peace, crowning

the long and arduous labors of the past four years, was beginning

to illuminate his pathway, in the very zenith of his career and at

the height of his fame, our good, kind President was ruthlessly and

brutally murdered. There is no need here to eulogize those virtues,

so well known to all who have watched so anxiously and with such

interest the successive acts of his career, nor to enlarge on that

stubborn honesty and integrity of purpose and principle which has

brought this nation safely through a sea of troubles which well nigh

overwhelmed it. Abraham Lincoln has gone to his account, and the

tears of a nation that honored him whilst living, follow him to the

grave, now that he is dead. The loss is ours, not his; he has died at

his post with his harness on his back; he has laid down his life for

the country he loved more than life itself, a soldier in the cause of

humanity, freedom and right, and what could man wish more. Peace to

his soul! When the time comes for us to go, may our record, if not as

glorious, be at least as clear as his.

REUNION.

[_From the London Spectator._]

An end at last! The echoes of the war--

The weary war beyond the western waves--

Die in the distance. Freedom's rising star

Beacons above a hundred thousand graves:

The graves of heroes who have won the fight,

Who in the storming of the stubborn town

Have rung the marriage peal of might and right,

And scaled the cliffs and cast the dragon down.

Pæans of armies thrill across the sea,

Till Europe answers--"Let the struggle cease,

The bloody page is turned; the next may be

For ways of pleasantness and paths of peace!"--

A golden morn--a dawn of better things--

The olive-branch--clasping of hands again--

A noble lesson read to conquering kings--

A sky that tempests had not scoured in vain.

This from America we hoped and him

Who ruled her "in the spirit of his creed."

Does the hope last when all our eyes are dim,

As History records her darkest deed?

The pilot of his people through the strife,

With his strong purpose turning scorn to praise,

E'en at the close of battle reft of life,

And fair inheritance of quiet days.

Defeat and triumph found him calm and just,

He showed how clemency should temper power,

And dying left to future times in trust

The memory of his brief victorious hour.

O'ermastered by the irony of fate,

The last and greatest martyr of his cause;

Slain like Achilles at the Scæan gate,

He saw the end, and fixed "the purer laws."

May these endure and, as his work, attest

The glory of his honest heart and hand--

The simplest, and the bravest, and the best--

The Moses and the Cromwell of his land.

Too late the pioneers of modern spite,

Awe-stricken by the universal gloom.

See his name lustrous in Death's sable night,

And offer tardy tribute at his tomb.

But we who have been with him all the while,

Who knew his worth, and loved him long ago,

Rejoice that in the circuit of our isle

There is no room at last for Lincoln's foe.

The surrender of Lee and Johnston with their entire armies, put an

end to the rebellion in Virginia, and left the Army of the Potomac,

for the first time in four years, out of employment, with no one to

fight and looking round for some one to hit or to "tread on the tail

of its coat." Such things could not last, so on the 20th of April

we had orders to pack up and move from our camp on the South Side

railroad to City Point, there to take transports for Washington. This

we accordingly did, and after a tiresome march, arrived at City Point

on the morning of the 22d.

A few hours sufficed for all necessary arrangements, and before

evening the steamer _Daniel Webster_, having on board Col. Harriman

and staff, Gen. Humphries of the 2d corps, and the 37th and 38th

Wisconsin, was steaming slowly down the James river against a strong

flood tide. We passed Harrison's Landing, where the 9th corps crossed

the James on pontoons in its march from Cold Harbor to Petersburg,

during the summer of last year, and just below this point, the last

rays of the setting sun were shining on the glorious old stars and

stripes floating proudly over Fort Powhattan, the strongest work on

the James river. Our boat having no regular government pilot, was

compelled to anchor shortly after dark, and wait till morning and

daylight should enable us to pick our way along the mazy channel. We

passed Fortress Monroe with its "even trench" and frowning embrasures

about sunrise, and steamed out through Hampton Roads, past that

singularly amphibious locality, part fort, part prison, known as the

Rip Raps, into the smooth waters of Chesapeake Bay. The morning was

still and pleasant, a light breeze from the northwest created just

enough swell to give an easy rise and fall to the vessel, enough

to make us feel that we were at sea, and hardly enough to unsettle

the internal arrangements of the least nautical of our passengers.

Far away on the starboard bow, Capes Charles and Henry were just

visible, faint blue streaks in the distant offing. Astern of us were

Norfolk, Fortress Monroe, the Rip Raps, several Men of War, including

two British and one French steam frigate, and several saucy looking

Yankee gunboats, bustling round in a great hurry, making a great

swell in the water and a great noise with their escaping steam, as

if they had important government business on hand and were anxious

to get through with it. Schooners, barques and sloops of all sizes,

builds and styles were either dropping easily down before the light

wind, their big fore-and-aft sails boomed out on either side and

giving them the appearance, as they rose and fell on the swells, of

sea-birds, perched on the water, with their wings spread ready to

take flight, or with sheets flat aft were working up the bay, passing

and repassing one another as they tacked and tacked again. And the

huge steam frigates lay there quiet, and, as it seemed, disdainful

watchers of the whole scene, models of order and neatness from truck

to deck, every rope taut and in its place, every spar and every

line clear and distinct against the blue sky behind them, the black

muzzles of the guns with their white tompions all in even line, and

the boats at the swinging boom, each with its boat-tender aboard to

keep it from chafing and rubbing against its neighbor--everything

orderly, methodical, neat. (And here a moral. What a pity some people

in this world cannot, like a man-of-war's boat, be furnished with

a boat-tender, to keep the waves of envy and unfriendliness from

causing them to chafe against their fellows.)

But ethics and moralizing have but little to do with the 1st

brigade, 1st division, 9th army corps, and still less with the

good ship _Daniel Webster_, which, about this time, was bowling

along up the bay, at the rate of ten knots an hour. About noon we

passed the light-ship on Wolf Trap Shoals, with the _tin-clad_

lying alongside, to protect her from guerrillas. For, the inference

being but fair that those fiends, who would not hesitate to destroy

a train containing innocent women and children, would have as

little compunction in destroying the often-times only friend of

the storm-beaten ship, in her most thrilling hours of danger, all

the light-houses and light-vessels along the coast of Virginia

are strongly guarded, day and night. Just before dark, we entered

the mouth of the Potomac, and, in obedience to a hail from the

guard-ship, at Port Washington, made fast to the dock at Alexandria,

at sunrise, on the morning of the 24th. Here we disembarked, and were

marched out to a very pleasant camping-ground, on the line of the

Orange and, Alexandria railroad. We remained here two days, when we

received orders to march to Washington. Thither we accordingly went,

and the evening of the same day found us encamped near Tenallytown,

between Forts Gaines and Simmons, and not far from the Chain Bridge.

Here we remained, "possessing our souls in peace," and doing a little

picket duty, a little drilling, not a little dress-parading, and, in

fact, playing soldiers; with nothing to do, and all day to do it in;

and, barring a slight suspicion of monotony, leading a not unpleasant

life.

On Tuesday evening, May 9th, we had a very pleasant reunion, at

brigade headquarters, the occasion being the presentation to Col.

Harriman, by the officers of his staff, of a very handsome sword. The

presentation was made, in the name of the staff, by Capt. Charles

McCreery, 8th Michigan Volunteers, Inspector General, who in a very

neat and appropriate speech descanted on the pleasant nature of the

relations that had always existed between the Colonel and his staff,

officially and otherwise, during the long time he had commanded the

brigade, and speaking in terms of the warmest commendation of the

able and efficient manner in which the Colonel had commanded the

brigade both in camp and in action. The Colonel responded, briefly

and to the purpose, and after an hour or so spent in social chat

the party broke up, pleased and gratified at the opportunity that

had been afforded them of showing their appreciation of an able and

gallant officer.

When the last grand pageant of the war passed through the streets of

the capital, and the army, that for the last four years, had been

laboring to maintain the existence of the country and to uphold its

chosen form of government, received a sincere and hearty public

welcome at the hands of a grateful people. Our regiment took a part

in the pageant and received its share of the welcome. For two days,

Washington was the scene of a military display, the like of which the

world has never seen, and God grant may never have occasion to see

again. From nine in the morning till three in the afternoon of each

day, Pennsylvania Avenue, from the Capitol to Georgetown, was covered

with troops, as the armies of the Potomac, Tennessee and Georgia

passed along through crowds of their fellow citizens who had turned

out to welcome them home.

The long wide street, with its shady sidewalks and handsome

buildings, was dressed in its gayest. The fresh spring verdure of the

trees, the glorious stripes and stars waving everywhere, the bright

glancing bayonets, set off by the dark blue of their bearers, the

regimental colors and guidons, the waving of flags and handkerchiefs

from every window, the lively strains of the various brigade and

regimental bands, the bright clear sky and sun overhead, formed a

sight once seen, never to be forgotten, and worth ten years of a

man's life for him to be able to say, "I was there."

But the details of this brilliant military panorama are now history,

so suffice it to say that the 37th contributed their part to the show

and received their welcome from the Washingtonians and their friends.

On the afternoon of the 25th of May, the 1st brigade was reviewed

by Colonel Harriman and a large party of distinguished visitors,

guests of Colonel H's. The party included Governor Lewis, Gen.

Lucius Fairchild, Gen. Gaylord, Brev. Brig. Gen. C. Fairchild,

Governor Crapo of Michigan, Major Chas. Hamlin, son of the late Vice

President, and his sister, Mrs. Bachelor, Col. Proudfit of Wisconsin,

Mrs. Gen. Fairchild, and a large delegation of civilians and soldiers

from Michigan and Wisconsin.

The review was preceded by brigade dress parade, followed by a

short drill, after which the ranks were opened and Col. Harriman,

accompanied by the two Governors, Gens. Fairchild and Gaylord, rode

along the front and rear of the line, the ranks were then closed and

the brigade, having formed column by company, marched past in review.

Great praise was awarded for the accuracy and regularity with which

the whole affair passed off, by all present, both civil and military.

At our camp in Tenallytown we remained without any occurrence of

moment coming to break the monotony of our lives, daily expecting an

order to return home, and daily being disappointed.

The orders mustering out all men sick in hospital and all whose term

of service expired before October 1st, 1865, reduced us much in

number, and an effort was made to consolidate the 38th with us.

In the early part of July an order, directing the consolidation to

take place, was received, but was again countermanded, in consequence

of an order from the War Department to muster out the whole 9th corps.

Some reason or the other, no doubt a good and sufficient one, delayed

the order, however, for some time on its passage from the Adjutant

General's office in Washington, causing no little grumbling and a

great many _curse_-ory remarks from our men. It came at length, and

on the morning of July 26th, at 10 A. M., the 37th Wisconsin, after

having served for nearly half its original term of enlistment, and

having spent most of that time in active and arduous campaigning,

ceased to belong to the service of the United States. The same

evening, transportation having been duly furnished us, we took the

cars on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad for Baltimore. A detachment

of the 38th Wisconsin and the 27th Michigan occupied the same train

as we did, and as we rolled out of the depot a cheer went up from the

forty-three cars, of which our train was composed, that wakened the

echoes far and near.

From Baltimore we took the Pennsylvania railroad for Pittsburg, where

the Ladies' Aid Society gave us a most hospitable reception. From

Pittsburg, through the winding glens of Pennsylvania, and over the

teeming fields of Ohio, till at length, tired, dusty, and hungry,

at two o'clock in the morning we sweep into the evergreen city of

Cleveland.

Here too, the ladies, God bless them, are on hand with a first rate

breakfast ready and waiting for us. After a short delay we embarked

on board the _Morning Star_, and made a quick and pleasant run across

Lake Erie and through the St. Clair river, till at length we cited

the old fashioned looking buildings of Sandwich and Windsor, looking

sleepily and wonderingly at the bustling, lively aspect of their

opposite neighbor, Detroit.

Here we came in for a share of the kind and hearty welcome that

awaited the 27th Michigan, and here we took leave of that regiment.

For over a year we had served in the same brigade; for over a year

the 37th "Badgers" and 27th "Wolverines" had toiled, marched and

fought side by side. And it was with mutual feelings of esteem

and regret that in the streets of Detroit we parted with our old

companions in arms. Many a hearty good-bye and God speed you were

exchanged and many promises of correspondence given and received, and

soon the cars whirled us on, through the night, to where the ladies

of Grand Haven had a good breakfast ready for us, where they greeted

us with a hearty welcome,

"and hands that offer fruit and flowers,"

There too, was McBride, prince of Captains, and the famous old

_Detroit_, and with such favorable conjunction of boat and captain,

our run across the lake was safely and expeditiously accomplished.

A hearty welcome met us at the City of Bricks, and our greeting, on

our return to our State, was all that could be desired. We arrived

at Madison about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of Monday, July 31st,

were entertained at the Railroad Depot at the expense of the State,

and were welcomed in the park around the Capitol by the Governor,

Secretary of State, Adjutant General and the Municipal authorities

of Madison. The Regiment was then furloughed for fifteen days with

orders to report, at the expiration of that time, at Camp Randall.

And here we will leave them at the point from which they started,

welcomed back to a country jubilant and exultant in a peace they

themselves had helped to win, rejoicing themselves in the prospect of

seeing home and friends once more.

And even as now, when their warfare is accomplished and the victory

won, we gladly sheath the sword and lay aside the musket, so if the

old Badger State ever again calls on her sons to stand forth in her

defence, none will respond more readily than the

THIRTY-SEVENTH WISCONSIN INFANTRY.

L'Envoi.

The play is done; the curtain drops,

Slow falling to the prompter's bell,

A moment yet the actor stops,

And looks around to bid farewell.

It is an irksome word and task,

And when he's laughed and said his say,

He shews, as he removes his mask,

A face that's anything but gay.

[_Thackeray._

My task is almost done, and my pen runs over these few last lines

with a feeling closely akin to regret. Regret that this, the last

slight tie binding me, as one of their number, to those to whom

these pages are dedicated, is broken with their completion; regret

at my inability to do better justice to a subject which could well

task an abler pen than mine. The labor of its compilation has been

trifling and a labor of love. To the whole of my brother officers I

return my best thanks for the assistance they have rendered me, both

in furnishing me with the official statistics of their companies,

and also for their personal reminiscences of scenes we have passed

through together, as well as those from which I was absent.

In compiling this history I have, like Othello, simply tried to

--"deliver a round unvarnished tale,"

and while I have tried to do justice to the subject, I have at

the same time endeavored not to be tedious; and here I think of

Canning's answer to the clergyman when the latter asked him, "How

did you like my sermon? I endeavored not to be tedious," and the

statesman tired out by "four heads and an application," wearily

responds, "and yet _you were_." At any rate the book goes forth,

"with all its imperfections on its head," and if it only serve to

while away a dull hour, on some future day, or to call up a kindly

memory of the "days of auld lang syne," I shall consider that it has,

fully, attained its purpose.

And whether we shall meet again, I know not,

Therefore our everlasting farewell take;

For ever and for ever fare ye well.

If we do meet again, why we shall _smile_;

If not; why then this parting is wall made.

[_Julius Cæsar._

And on this the anniversary day of our nation's birth, we sit here in

our quiet camp near Washington, overlooking the dome of the Capitol,

and the waters of that river by whose side repose the ashes of the

Father of his country. The noisy roar of the national salute has long

ceased to awaken the echoes of the surrounding hills, the calm quiet

of evening is settling down upon us, and as we look round and see the

bright stars and stripes of our ensign waving languidly, in the light

breeze, over the sleeping engines of war below, our thoughts travel

back down the dim, half unreal vista of the months left behind us.

A year ago and treason, with its accompaniments of bloodshed and

devastation, was rampant in the land. A year ago, and we lay on our

arms in front of the strongest army, garrisoning one of the strongest

fortified places of the whole Confederacy. To-day, that flag that now

floats from a hundred places within reach of our vision, floats once

more over every State in the Union. To-day the States are once more

united--let us hope for ever. To-day we sit here IN PEACE, looking

back on our past labors and enjoying their fruits.

"When the war drum throbs no longer,

And the battle flags are furled

In the parliament of man,

The federation of the world."

[_Tennyson._

The Rebellion is at an end--the wicked attempt of a few unscrupulous

and ambitious politicians to overthrow the freest and best government

in the world, has come to naught; and, though a few faint sparks yet

smoulder on, the Torch of Secession is quenched. God grant forever.
