706 HISTORY OF THE

Lieut. Applcton moved into his log house, and a dozenveterans went on 35 days furlough. The order came fromthe War Department that recruits in three years' organizations in Massachusetts be discharged with their organizations.

"In this camp" (Notes of Corporal Shacklcy) "the Battery built log houses for officers, Orderly and Quartermaster Sergeants, Commissary and cooks, and for allthe men, nearly thirty houses in all; also a stockade forthe horses, enclosing about 50 yards square of groundby digging a trench nearly 3 ft. deep, and cutting treesabout 10 feet long, and splitting them in halves, andstanding them on end close together in the trench allaround the enclosure except six or eight feet for an entrance. All the materials for the houses, the stockade,and all the fuel to warm the houses and do all the cookingduring nearly five months, had to be brought from one mileto three miles distance."

There were a good many temporary changes in the Batterv. On the 24th Lieut. Applcton took some more menover to Captain Gentry. Orders came to get ready for araid of cavalry.

On Christmas Day the seconll anniversary of the Battery's taking leave oi Massachusetts, Lieut. Blake got back.The men had pie and cake for breakfast and supper androast chicken for dinner. In the evening 17 re-enlisted menwent home on a 35 days furlough, among whom wasPrivate Dyer's tent mate Edwin J. Butler. Dyer sent hisrevolver home by Serg't Morgridge. Dec. 26. he was detailed to act as corporal for 35 days, while the re-enlistedmen were at home. He took the last part of the night.Orders came to be ready for inspection the next day, buton the 27th, which was Sunday, it rained hard. They wentout on the ground, but came back to camp without havingbeen inspected.

FIFTH MASS. BATTERY (73

ton rode over to Brandy Station and Army Head Quarters,with a party of gentlemen from Brigade Head Quarters, toshow them the country. A pretty long ride, but a perfectspring day.

LETTER OF SERG'T. WM. H. PEACOCK."Rapi-'k Station, Va.

Feb. 13, 1864.

Thinking you would like to see a picture of the Hill andRiver at this point, I enclose one taken from Harpers.[This was in Harper's Weekly, of November 28, 1863.—'The Army of the Potomac. Capture by Sedgwick's Corpsof the Rebel Works on the Rappahannock near the Railway Bridge. Sketched by A. R. Waud." As cut from thepaper the sketch has been well preserved, and is now inpossession of Sergt. Peacock in Chicago. Oct. 10, 1902.]I consider this a very correct cut. I had a good view ofour infantry as they charged the rifle pit, and this looksvery much like it. Our Battery was shelling them out ofthe large Fort on the hill, also the pontoon bridge over theRiver. Our position was 1000 yards in rear of the largework, on a flat. The infantry charged under cover of fireof Battery D, 5th U. S., and our Battery. It was livelywork. Our Battery now occupies the large Fort commanding the new R. R. bridge, since built."
