BOX FROM HOME.

Monday Feb. 3, 1862. At 12 o'clock word came intothe tent that the team had come with boxes from the express office. Went out and found Harry Simonds with theDetachment. He showed me the box. I carried it to hisquarters and opened it. I received four immense pics, twosplendid cakes, tea, coffee, sugar, pop corn, papers etc.

Wednesday Feb. 5th. Most of the Detachments had adrill on their guns. The order was in the morning,'Empty beds!' In the afternoon the straw came, but itwas wet and damp, so I could not fill my bed. and I had toturn in on the ground. n „ . .,

Thursday Feb. 6. Went out at 'A past 6 to Roll Call.Before we were dismissed to our quarters we were orderedto appear at 10 o'clock in full uniform with side arms:horses hitched in and cannoneers mounted, but a hail stormcame up at 8 o'clock, and it has continued to rain, snow,and hail about all day.

Friday Feb. 7. All of the men besides myself exceptone filled their beds with the damp straw, the consequencewas' they all got cold, while Carsley and myself are well.After breakfast we were ordered to appear at 10 o'clock mfull uniform with side arms, for the Review. The drivershitched in their horses at 10, and at $4 past the cannoneerswere on the boxes. It was a splendid sight. Went throughthe drill of -Mounting and Dismounting,' and at IIo'clock, the gun Detachments were dismissed to their quarters, and the drivers had to turn out for Riding drill. Theyreturned at K- past 12, looking muddy enough.

Sunday, Feb. 9, 1862. The men were called into line atn o'clock for divine service. After singing two or threetunes, and reading a chapter in the Bible.-Matthew 4thchapter.—we were dismissed.

FIFTH MASS. BATTERY. SG3

by a ricochet shot, the terrible enfilading lire we were under,and the charge made by the Battery from the rifle pitsacross an open field to a position not over five hundredyards from the enemy's position or earthworks, is my remembrance of this fight."

NOTES OF PRIVATE WM. II. DUNHAM, MARCH

29. 1901.

"On June 3d, 1864, occurred one of the most daringthings of the war. the charge of the 5th Mass. Battery.This was the first instance ever known of any battery making a charge unprotected by infantry. The position of therebel battery was such that it was able to annoy our infantry, without receiving any check. General Griffin saw thatif a battery could advance to a knoll within 400 yards ofthem, the advantage would then he ours. He came toCaptain Phillips and said. 'Dare you take your batteryto yonder knoll?'

Captain Phillips answered,—'I dare take my men anywhere.'General-Griffin then said: '1 want a battery on that knoll,

but I do not order you there.'However, orders were immediately given by Captain

Phillips.I, as No. 1, took my sponge staff and bucket, William

Carsley as No. 2, a round of ammunition, and so on. Theorder was then given,—

'Limber to the front, double quick. March!'We started in on the yell under a heavy fire. The I4t'i

New York were in our rear, they told us they did not expect to see a man or horse standing.

As soon as we came in battery, there was rapid workuntil the rebels were silenced. Our only casually was theloss of Comrade W. H. H. Laphani. who was killed duringthe charge in the open field.
