They left for the seat of war, Thursday afternoon, Oct. 3d, at three o'clock. The battery consists of six pieces of artillery, and as many caissons, one ammunition-wagon, one army forge, and three baggage-wagons. The guns and caissons are each drawn by six horses, and the others by four. Besides these, are the horses for the officers — making in all about one hundred and twentyfive horses and one hundred and fifty men. On the arrival of the battery in this city, on the day of their departure, they were enthusiastically received, and cheer after cheer rent the air as they passed through the streets to take the cars for Washington. In the grand review of artillery, which took place near the Capitol about the first of November, Gen. McClellan complimented Capt. Porter and his command very highly. This battery is stationed near Washington. Field and Staff. NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS AND PRIVATED. Artificers. Barnes J.

Major Cobb opened papers for enlistment for this company, April 20, 1861, and May 2d the organization was completed, under the name of "Cobb's Light Artillery.” June 17th they made their first public parade. They went into Camp Adams, at Quincy, July 5th'; the 31st were sworn into the United States' service; and, on the 8th of August, at 7} P. M., they broke camp and proceeded to the seat of war. At 6 P. m. of the 10th, they arrived in New York.' They soon found themselves enjoying the hospi. talities of Philadelphia, where the people had erected convenient temporary barracks, and furnished them with everything to cleanse the outer and feed the inner man. At Wilmington, they loaded the guns with shell, to be prepared for any emergency. A telegraphic dispatch from Washington ordered them to go into camp at Baltimore. On the 12th, they camped on Mt. Clare, where Cook's Battery had been encamped. On the 14th they chose the grounds formerly occupied by Col. Stewart, of the Confederate army: They named the camp “Camp Andrew," in honor of the Governor. Occasional parade and camp duty occupied their time. They were once reviewed by Gens. Dix and Duryea. At Ilo'clock, P. M., September 12th, the bugle sounded the alarm, and in half an hour every gun, and man, and horse was ready for duty. It was a false alarm, but a healthy sensation. Oct. 8th the patriotic people of the place presented them with a fine American flag. On the 11th they took twenty-four horses and twenty men, and went upon the wood-lot of a secessionist and cut down two trees for a staff, and, in spite of the protestations of the owner, took and worked out a staff of ninety feet in length from them, and raised the flag. Guns, drums, bugles, prayer, speeches, &c., with Yankee Doodle and Hail Columbia, consecrated the occasion. Nov. 4th, at 127, they received orders to march; prepared, and were soon at the Light-street wharf, where they met the 4th Wisconsin and one company of the Pennsylvania Cavalry. At noon of the 5th they were under way. They were then informed that their destination was Virginia. They first landed at Duckbill Landing, Wycomico River, in Somerset County, and soon arrived at Princess Anne, and stayed in the court-house that night. After hard marching through lonely roads, over swollen streams, with poor bridges that had to be repaired, and wading, where there were no bridges; and, also, after embarking again, running aground, and such difficulties, they arrived at Princess Anne when the town was in an excitement concerning election. After resting and feeding, they marched that night, through mud and rain, to Dividing Creek, separating Somerset and Worcester Counties, crossing it at l o'clock in the morning. The town was small, poorly provided with stores and provisions, and full of secession. The report of their coming had preceded them, when the people fled from what they supposed would be robbery and murder. After a short rest, they started on, building bridges as they went, and arrived at Pussy's Mill at daylighi, where they had an hour's rest after their night of severe labor. They arrived at Snow Hill, Thursday, at 10 A. M. On the morning of the 14th they packed and marched for Newton, Somerset County, Md.,. about one hundred and seveniy-five miles from Baltimore. On the night after starting, they were visited with a snow-storm, and the cold made fires necessary in the tents. There were 4,500 troops at this place, and more men arrived; so that they numbered 6,000 for the expedition, which was under the command of Brig.-Gen. Lockwood. Among the troops comprising the expedition were the Wisconsin 4th Regiment, 1st Company Pennsylvania Cavalry, six companies Duryea's Zouaves, six companies of a Michigan Regiment, Pursell's Legion, of Maryland, containing infantry, artillery, and cavalry, - about 1,700 in all, the 2d Delaware Regiment, six companies of the 21st Indiana Regiment, six companies of the 17th Massachusetts Regiment, and Nims' Battery. Gen. Dix issued his proclamation to the people of Accomac and Northampton Counties, in Virginia, to lay down their arms, and resume their usual occupations, or they would be compelled to do so. After leaving Newton, they went to Drummondtown, Va., on the 25th of November. The night before leaving that place they made an attempt to arrest Col. Phinney, about seven miles from town, but he escaped them by going from Drummondtown to Puncoteague. They picked up one six-pound brass howitzer, and possessed themselves of one rebel battery, piereed for five guns, commanding the road. Leaving the latter place on the 27th, at 10, they arrived at Belletown at 12, and from thence they went to Eastville, the last town but one on the peninsula, and staid there until Dec. 2d. Near there, at Camp Hoyer, they found the last stopping-place of the rebels, where they had made considerable preparations to oppose the Union forces. They found a sixteenfoot flag of the rebels in the deserted fortifications. From this place, without meeting any one to fight, they went to Bailey's Town, near the river, to await the arrival of boats. The next day they started on their return for Baltimore, - about seventeen hours' sail, - and arrived back at their old position without finding an enemy to fight a battle. The expedition saved these counties to the Union. About March 1st, 1862, this battery left Baltimore for Ship Island. Field and Staff. John W.

The Third Battery was recruited at Lynnfield, by Capt. Dexter H. Follett, and was attached to the 224 Regiment. It proceeded to Washington with that regiment, Oct. 7, and was stationed on the Virginia side of the Potomac. For roll of members, see page 358. Fourth Battery, Light Artillery. . Field and Staff. Fifth Massachusetts Light Battery, Capt. Max Eppendorff, was recruited at Lynnfield, and was afterwards ordered to "Camp Massasoit,” Readville. While encamped there, they visited New Bedford, and were met at the depot by Messrs. Ladd and Lewis, in behalf of the city government, the brass band, and a large concourse of citizens. They at once formed into line and marched to City Hall, where several patriotic addresses were made. The oce casion was one of great interest, as well as their short visit to New Bedford. They left their camp for Annapolis, Wednesday, the 25th of December, by the Stonington line, and by steamer from Groton to New York. This battery is the only one which has left the State without a full and complete equipment. Orders from 'Washington were that they would receive their equipment upon their arrival at that city. The company is well ófficered, and is composed of the very best material. Field and Staff. Captain, MAX EPPENDORFF, New Bedford, discharged Jan. 24, 1862. GEO. D.
