Steady, boys, steady, and we reached the line in perfect order and faced about, to find how well, perhaps, it was that we should have dared what we had just endured. As the regiment falls back, just as it reaches a clump of bushes in a hollow, a line of men from the Fifth Corps is met coming through. The two regiments fall back through these bushes, halt, face about again and plug away at the foe as coolly as if they had not already lost a quarter of their men. While doing this, First Sergeant Viall of Co. E, comes running, swinging his musket over his head, crying, Come on! Come on! they're running! Suddenly he drops his musket and, clasping his arms across his breast, runs to the rear with a severe wound in the arm. There's a brave man remarks Major Rice, and then tells his companions to hurry up with their loading. Here fell the gallant Adams, with one ball in the bowels, and another in the hip. Who does not remember Bottle Ross, Kirby, Williams, Johnson, Corrigan—and ha

ted for the night. On the following day, May 13, it lay in line behind the breastworks, advancing once in a while in line of battle but was not engaged. Skirmish fire continued all day. The rebel color mentioned herewith was taken by 1st Sergeant Viall, who was badly wounded. He offered it to Col. Rice, who declined to take it and ordered him to go to the rear with it. As he was making his way to the rear, as ordered, he was again wounded and the color was taken from him by a staff officer. Viall died, later, from his wounds. The 14th was spent in comparative quiet, the regiment being on the skirmish line, however, as usual. May 14, 1864. Having a little time this morning, went forward to the rebel works over which we fought yesterday, and saw a sorrowful sight. The Rebs lay thick, piled upon each other, while the trench in which they stood while in life and health was ankle deep in blood and water. Our men buried them in the graves which they had dug for themselves,

nd De Castro were made recipients of two medals of honor, in recognition of gallantry on the field of Gettysburg. Two other non-commissioned officers of this regiment, who had taken colors from the enemy, viz: Sergeants Benjamin Falls and Samuel E. Viall, were not spared to this proud honor, having met a soldier's death during the present campaign. The regiment had to lament the loss of Lieut. John J. Ferris, who had been promoted from the rank of private, step by step, for soldierly qualimself with marked bravery during the preceding part of the campaign. The regiment also sustained severe loss by the death of valuable and efficient noncom-missioned officers, among whom may be mentioned Sergeants Falls, Russell, Brown, Ross and Viall.
