FIRST TROOPS TO
ENTER RICHMOND
Thirteenth Regiment OF New
Hampshire Volunteers Lays
Claim to the Honor.

TOR many years there was discus
sion of the claims of several bod
les OF Union troops for the honor
OF having been first into Richmond,
the capital of the Confederacy. on
April 3, 1865, few hours. or possibly
only an hour, after the last men OF
the gray had filed out Of the city.
The chief claimants for the honor
have been the Thirteenth regiment OF
New Hampshire volunteers. of which
John NJ. Woods, former mayor OF Som
erville and now department comman-
der Of the Massachusetts G. a. r., was
a member. and the body OF colored
cavalry, the Fifth Massachusetts, and
that day led By Charles Francis
Adams. Son OF the then minister to
England.
There has been much said. and there
was much to say. on both sides. The
actual priority would seem to belong
TO the New Hampshire regiment, and
some OF the facts OF the story OF that
great day are summarized here.
Informal Surrender.
The mayor of Richmond with some
of the citizens met General Weitzel a
little before seven that morning little
outside the limits OF the city. To that
point there had advanced a detach-
ment of Union pickets. perhaps so to
70 men. Here an informal surrender
took place.
Then General weitzel and his stan
proceeded into the city. followed by
Lieutenant Prescott and his force OF
pickets, and preceded by a squad OF
the generals orderlies from the
Fourth Massachusetts, cavalry. com
manded by Major A. H. Stevens. The
general established his headquarters
as is well known, in the house which
Jefferson Davis had made the White
House Of the southern states James
Ford Rhodes says that the evacuation
was completed by seven in the morn
ing and Nicolay and Hay say thai
Lieutenant Prescott reached capito
square soon after that hour.
General Weitzel soon sent back ar
aide with orders to get the first bri
gade he could find and bring 1t In t.
act as a provost guard. At the sam'
time he sent word for all the rest o
the troops to remain outside the cit!
and take possession Of the inner I'M
of Confederate defenses.
Marched Into City.
The first brigade met by the aid
proved to be Gen. E. H. Ripley's br'
gade of Gen. Charles Devens' division
of the Twenty-fourth army corps. Thi
brigade was headed by Devens wit
the New Hampshire regiment to whic
John M. Woods belonged. The

nine, on a glorious spring morning.
Meantime the second ord,r had been
sent and carried about, but somehow
it failed to reach the regiment of col
ored cavalry which had then for sew
eral weeks been in the command OF
Colonel Adams. They were posted on
the extreme right of the Union line,
and they obeyed an earlier request
from General Devens and it was the
only order of which they knew any
thing. that they advance into the city,
and thus this colored regiment, headed
by the grandson of one president and
the great-grandson of another, earned
for itself share of the glory of that
morning.
General Weitzel himself in his re-
port SAYS:
"At daybreak I started various d.
visions towards Richmond. General
Devens division came up the New
Market road and the cavalry, under
Charles Francis Adams, Jr., came up
the Darbytown and Charles City roads.

THE first troops to reach the city
were the companies-E and H-of the
Fourth Massachusetts cavalry, who
were the escorts to Majors Stevens
and Graves. and their guidons were
the first national colors displayed over
the city. Next came the pickets o.
the Twenty-fourth corps. After that

American people when say that our
canal was built not alone for giury
or great gain, but with a sincere
desire to make the whole world kin.
There are two gospels now instead of
one: The gospel OF good will has
been supplemented with the gospel
of personal contract. The gospel OF
good will continues to be supreme, but
nothing will help it preach so loudly
as those human agencies which elimi-
nate distance. blend languages, and
give us sight as well as knowledge
each of the other.
81 am quite sure that am but one
OF a countless throng in this republic
who regret that this altruistic work
has real or seeming defect in the
charge of an injustice done a sister
republic to the south. Let US not be
too much dismayed this day by rea-
son of that fact. The American people
are wise and they know he Is not wise
who Is not just. I look with con-
fidence for the early arrival of that
good hour when whatever wrong may
have been done shall be righted and
when there will be left no drop Of
bitter water to flow In that channel
which unites the seas.
FROM the urSL 10 the present, the
president of the United States, when
ever thought has been voiced upon the
subject, that thought has been that we
exist for humanity's sake as much as
for our own, that we crave friendly
relations with all people and entang-
ling alliances with none While half the
world is in rage indescribable and
unutterable, seeking to build monu-
ments out of clay kneaded in a
brothers blood; sad eyed and sober
the goddess OF our institutions seeks
to hold out to a warning world the
olive branch of peace.
"Ostensibly l am here in the name
OF the president of the United States
to dedicate this exposition in glori.
fication of the completion of the canal.
Really that waterway from its begin.
ming was dedicated to the idea and
the ideals of the republic.
Here men of every age and every
cline behold the MONDAY of the

cation of the dreams and thoughts OF
genius and Of talent. May we not hopc
that here thought-dawn will be born
that shall not cease to broaden until
