h which I was arming the other batteries, and they had therefore to be withdrawn, and replaced by more suitable material. While about one sixth came supplied with horses and harness, less than one tenth were apparently fully equipped for service when they reported to me, and every one of these latter required the supply of many deficiencies of material, and all of them very extensive instructions in the theory And practice of their special arm.

of two hundred and ninety-nine guns. To this must be added the field-artillery of Franklin's division of McDowell's corps, (four batteries of twenty-two guns,) which joined a few days before the capture of Yorktown, but was not disembarked from its transports for service until after the battle of Williamsburgh; and the field-artillery of McCall's division of McDowell's corps, (four batteries of twenty-two guns,) which joined in June--a few days before the battle of Mechanicsville, (June twenty-sixth, 1862;) making a grand total of field-artillery, at any time with the army of the Potomac, on the Peninsula, of sixty batteries of three hundred and forty-three guns. With this large force serving in six corps d'armee of eleven divisions, and the artillery reserve, the only general and field-officers were: One brigadier-general, four colonels, three lieutenant-colonels, and three majors — a number obviously insufficient, and which impaired to a great degree the efficiency of the arm, in

Doc. 105.-General Barry's report of the organization of the artillery of the army of the Potomac, with some account of its operations, from July 25th, 1861, to August 29th, 1862. Washington, September 1, 1862. Brig.-General Williams, Asst. Adj.-General: General: In compliance with the orders of Major-General McClellan, I have the honor to give some account of the history, organization, and operations of the Artillery of the Army of the Potomac from July, 1861, to September, 1862, the period during which I was its chief. When Major-General McClellan was appointed to the command of the Division of the Potomac, July twenty-fifth, 1862, a few days after the first battle of Bull Run, the whole field-artillery of his command consisted of no more than parts of nine batteries, or thirty pieces of various, and, in some instances, unusual and unserviceable calibres. Most of these batteries were also of mixed calibres. My calculations were based upon the expected immediate expa

the Chief of Ordnance, these remarks in particular apply. To their promptness, industry and active general cooperation am I indebted in a great degree for the means which enabled me to organize such an immense artillery force in so short a time. As has been before stated, the whole of the field-artillery of the Division of the Potomac, July twenty-fifth, 1861, was comprised in nine imperfectly equipped batteries of thirty guns, six hundred and fifty men, and four hundred horses. In March, 1862, when the whole army took the field, it consisted of ninety-two batteries, of five hundred and twenty guns, twelve thousand five hundred men, and eleven thousand horses; fully equipped and in readiness for active field service. Of the whole force, thirty batteries were regulars, and sixty-two batteries volunteers. During this short period of seven months nearly all this immense amount of material was issued to me, and placed in the hands of the artillery troops after their arrival in
