ill pond. Unlike the previous march, up the peninsula, when private property was rigidly respected, now every pig, hen or animal that could be carried or could be found useful was taken along. Cornfields were stripped and orchards were cleaned out. On the following day at noon the regiment passed through Williamsburg, a city which, in times of peace, was said to contain about 6,000 inhabitants. Passing William and Mary College and the rebel fortifications and the battlefield of the 5th of May, the line was kept moving until the Warwick river was reached, when it went into camp for the night. The march on the following day brought them, at 4 o'clock, to near the York river, about a mile above Yorktown where camp was made. The first thing after breaking ranks was a rush for the river and in a few minutes there were thousands of men enjoying a bath in the cool waters and fishing for oysters at the same time.

M., joined the brigade and marched all night, crossing the Rapidan at Ely's Ford about 9 A. M. of the 4th, and halted for one hour at the South bank; resuming their march, passing over the field of Chancellorsville, and at 5.30 P. M. were thrown out to picket the woods at the right of the plank road, remaining on picket until 4.30 A. M. of the following day, May 5. The march of seven miles through the woods, was continued until 3 P. M., when, having gained the Orange and Port Royal Road, the regiment was advanced to the left of the main road to guard against attack,—firing being heard from the front where General Birney and the Third Division were engaged with Hill and that awful campaign was begun which was not to end until the last day, but one, of the dying year. The field in which the halt was made was full of low sassafras bushes in which rabbits made the
