The 5Sth Mass. in the Wilderness Cam
paign.

Editor National Tribune: I am q
reader OF your valuable paper. and
have been following the Wilderness
campaign with much interest. / am
surprised not to sec the old 58th Mass
mentioned at all, because it took a
strong part in all the battles from the
Wilderness to Richmond. losing a great
many men. 50 many that the regiment
was nearly annihilated at one time. Co.
came to its rescue and saved it
William B. Whittemore; Co. Z, 18th
Mass, Putnam, Conn.
The 5Sth Mass certainly should have
been mentioned, for it eminently de-
serves mention. It's organ Zation was
not completed until Jan. a. 1864, but
its members were largely veterans, and
it saw more fighting in the next few
months than came to some other regi-
ments in their whole three years. 1t
went directly into the Wilderness.
where it lost seven killed, % wounded
and four missing in it's initiation into
war, and thence forward it lost nearly
every day in the fighting which fol-
lowed. 1t was constantly at the front,
and made desperate attack on the
Confederate works April when Peters
burg fell. When the surrender took
place it was at Burkesville Junction

the wreck, and to these we at once
limbered the two guns with the pro-
tongues, and SO dragged them back
some distance, moving along on the
west bank of the brook in sort of
beaten track that had evidently been
made by farm wagons in the peaceful
days gone by. We continued this re-
treat for some minutes. until we came
to little ravine formed by small rill
that runs into Meadow Brook from the
west, and here we found under cover of
the ravine another caisson that had es-
capped the wreck in our first position.
Just at this moment the enemy began
to swarm up from across the brook on
the flank OF the Vermonters and Bid
wells Brigade, who We're still in our
front, fighting as no other infantry has
ever fought, and threatened to take
them in reverse. Here Gen. Lewis A.
Grant, then temporarily in command
of the division. placed us on Il small
knoll just to the left of Bidwell, and
we at once opened with our two guns
on this ffanking column, taking them
with double canister as they
swung around on the other bank Of
the brook, and we made their leading
line recoil back to the pike and take
shelter among the fences and houses
of the little hamlet of Middletown.
I'VE were all profoundly impressed
with Gen. Grants bearing on this oc-
casion. When we had got our two guns
out of the wreck and were hauling
them along the rear of Bidwells line
Gen. Grant was a little to the left of
the graveyard, and seeing us he came
up and said:
"'Have you any ammunition left?'
Serg't Yoder answered that We had
some ammunition left

Then come with me. said Gen.
Grant, leading the way across the rocky
pasture till we passed the left flank of
Pidwell's Brigade.
AT this point Meadow Brook makes
"a little bend to the eastward, forming
a small knoll, the crest of which was a
little in advance of Bidwell's general
alignment. Leading the way to this
knoll. the General said:
Go in battery here and attend to
those folks coming out of the village;
the men on your right will support
you
And then, as he turned his horse
TO ride back to the center of the divi-
sion, he called out:
Now, boys, give 'em the best you've
got;' which we proceeded to do.
Gen. Grant was a benevolent-look-
ing man, and tho this little operation
of posting the remnant of the battery
was under terrific musketry fire from
the pike below the village and the edge
of the town itself at not more than so

Getty's Division Fights the Battle.

The division had been in camp about
two miles from where the Confederates
first attacked. 1t formed no part of
the infantry line, but was put in posi-
ton where il could move to any point
desired. 1t had no connection with
the troops on either flank and its COM
mander and members claim that il act
ed independently during the battle of
the morning, fighting its own fight
against the whole of the rebel army.
The division had promptly gotten un-
der arms and marched to the left near
Middletown. whore it came directly in
front of the advance Of the flushed Con-
feGerates. The Vermont Brigade threw
forward a line of skirnishers to some
high ground just south of Mfddletown,
and promptly encountered Pegram's s
Division. 1t held this in check for a
few minutes until Pegram concentrate
ed his division upon the skirmish line
and drove it back upon the main line.
The resistance of the Vermonters was
go stubborn, however, that Early mis-
took it for the entire Sixth Corps.
While this fighting was going on Gen.
Getty moved the division to semi
circular crest about 800 yards to the
left. In the front and right of the di-
vision was Meadow Brook, over which
the broken fragments of the regiments
and brigades were streaming in con-
fused masses. Gems. Early and Gordon
