FATAL ACCIDENT – “Mr. Samuel A. Mann, son of Thomas H. Mann, formerly of Lynn, met with a fearful accident that resulted in his death a few days ago.  He was in the employment of Mr. Hodgkins, tanner; upon the first of June he accidentally fell into a vat of hot liquor which had been used for tanning hides.  In endeavoring to extricate himself, he fell back into it twice, but was finally relieved by a friend, who was attracted by his cries for help.  He was taken home, medical aid was procured, but the injury was too severe to give any hope of recovery.  His flesh sloughed off from his bones, and after a fortnight’s suffering, with great patience, he at last, in full possession of his senses, and with Christian resignation, yielded up his life.  His age was 22.”

“Mr. Editor – At a meeting of Co. I, 1st Mass. Heavy Artillery, held March 16th, 1864, the following Preamble and Resolutions were unanimously adopted:
     Whereas, In the death of Sergt. Angus Ward….It is fitting that we place upon record, our appreciation of his character and worth…” Signed: Frank Davis, lst Lieut; Jas S. Brown, Private; Benj. D Miles, Private; and J.B. Hanson, 1st Lieut.
     The remains of Sergeant Ward were brought home to Danvers, and last Sunday afternoon there was a funeral tribute paid to his memory at the Church of Rev. Mr. Putnam.  A large concourse of people were in attendance, the church being filled to its utmost capacity.  A detachment of his comrades in Co. I, 12th Regiment, followed the remains to the grave, with military honors….”

DESERTER ARRESTED – “A telegram was received on Saturday morning, by Capt. Daniel H. Johnson, Jr., Provost Marshal, from Colonel Thomas R. Tannatt, 1st Mass. Heavy Artillery, that 1st Lieut. Elbridge W. Guilford, of Danvers, had deserted.  After a very diligent search, he was arrested Sunday forenoon by Capt. Johnson at Danvers Plains, in a full suit of citizens clothes.”

RETURNED – “The glorious old Massachusetts First has returned – or a remnant of it.  They went out with a little rising a thousand, have had 1200 recruits, and now return with about six hundred.  South Danvers furnished five men for this regiment, and of these, two Harrison Whittemore and George B. Midler returned with them; David W. Osborne was discharged; George W. Gray was wounded and discharged; and Robert Andrews is now missing.”

CASUALTIES IN THE FIRST MASSACHUSETTS HEAVY ARTILLERY – “During the past week more particulars have been received in regard to the losses of this regiment in their late encounter with the enemy; and it is with sad feelings that we have to record the loss of two were sons of South Danvers, viz: Austin A. Herrick and Frank Gardner, who were members of Co. D.  The first is the son of Mr. Robert Herrick of this town, and the latter is a son of Mr. Charles A. Gardner, for a long while a resident of this place, but now residing in Boston.
     We were not much acquainted with the deceased, but from what we learn on all sides they were young men of sterling worth and unflinching patriotism. Among the wounded, we notice the names of those well known in this vicinity, viz: Corp. C. A. Warner, E. A. Walton and Nathaniel Pitman, Jr. of Salem; and among the missing, Jos. Pierce, S. G. Southwick and lst Sergeant J. W. Hart of this town; W. H. Dalton of Salem.”

MISTAKE – “By a simple mistake of the number of a regiment, made by the usually correct correspondent of the Boston Journal, many persons here yesterday were led to the belief that the 14th Mass.

NEWPORT BARRACKS – “We learn from a letter from Quarter Master Sergeant Andrew D. Murray of this town, which we have been permitted to peruse, that the Company D of the 2d Mass. Heavy Artillery and other forces stationed at this post, were subjected to very great hardships by the recent rebel raid in the vicinity of Newbern, having been overpowered by a large body of rebels, and driven to the necessity of passing a burning bridge or swimming a river to escape capture; and having lost all their effects and many of them their lives.”

RE-ENLISTED – “Over 400 of the Mass. 24th regiment have re-enlisted; so also has the Fourth (late Manning’s) Battery, now under the command of Capt. [George] Taylor of this place.  They arrived in Boston last Saturday, and a large number of the Battery boys visited this place on Sunday, coming from Boston in coaches.  They were a hardy looking set of fellows and the only damage a southern sun and climate had inflicted upon them was to so tan their faces that their friends could hardly recognize them.  The battery, to a man, has re-enlisted, and Capt. Taylor returns with them.  Sergeant Sheen and Jacob Curtis, of this town, are also among the number.  Of those in the 24th Regiment, belonging to this town, who have re-enlisted, are L. D. Cobb, C. W. Trask, Frank Plumer, Wm. F. Wiley and D.M. Bly.  Wm. B. Hammond and Simeon R. Whipple wished to re-enlist, but could not pass with the examining surgeons, neither of them having as yet sufficiently recovered from late sickness.  They have evinced good pluck at any rate.”

South Danvers Wizard, 3/2/1864, p. 2/2
YANKEE GROWTH AND PLUCK – “Among the members of the Fourth Massachusetts Battery which arrived at Boston week before last, was Mr. Jacob Curtis, of this town, whose age is twenty-seven, and who measures six feet, seven and a half inches in height in his stockings.  The Boston Transcript says he is a genuine ‘son of Anak’, and all his companions literally look up  to him.  He went out with his battery in November, 1861, and has been in all its dangers and exploits from the time he landed at Ship Island, below New Orleans, until they came home.  The battery inscribes upon its banner the names of six battles – one of them the severe and unequal contest at Baton Rouge, under General Butler, and many sharp skirmishes.  It lay under fire fifty-two days at Port Hudson.  The men went out one hundred and fifty strong, received sixteen recruits, returned with ninety-one soldiers, all of whom, except one, have re-enlisted.  Very good for old Essex County.”

Massachusetts 14th Regiment
South Danvers Wizard, 5/25/1864, p. 2/5
THE OLD FOURTEENTH – “After nearly three years of garrison duty in forts around Washington, this splendid regiment at last has had a chance to prove their mettle, by being sent to the front, and sustaining, in company with other heavy artillery regiments, a severe contest with a large force of rebels, on Thursday last, in the woods, two miles in rear of our main lines.  The rebels, it seems, had moved out of Spottsylvania, and passed entirely round the battlefield last week, and reached the scene of action before there were discovered, and their advance immediately commenced an attack on our supply train, but after a sharp conflict were repulsed by the guards.  Meanwhile the rebel line prepared for a charge.
     Gen. Tyler, who commanded the division of heavy artillery, called upon his men to move against the enemy.  The troops never had been under fire.  They had arrived some of them the day before.  They hesitated.  Gen. Tyler rode to Tannatt’s brigade, composed of the 1st Massachusetts and 1st Maine.
     “The sons of Maine and Massachusetts are not cowards!”, shouted the General.
     “No! no!,” the response.
     “Follow me, then!”
     Away they went with a cheer.  They came within musket range and the contest began.  Ewell’s old veterans on the one hand and the troops who till last week had not handled a musket, on the other.  The heavy artillery knew little about infantry tactics, of handling muskets, of loading and firing, but they poured in their volleys – no, not volleys, but man loaded a piece, irrespective of all orders. It was a continuous roll.
     Meanwhile the rest of Tyler’s division – four regiments – one from New York, one from Pennsylvania, one from Washington, and one from Rhode Island – joined, and the contest became furious.
     The Second Corps, which was near at hand, was swung round to form a second line, but before it could be brought into action the heavy artillery had repulsed the rebels.  It was a short, sharp, decisive engagement.  It was particularly marked by the stubbornness of our men.  Gen. Hunt, commanding the artillery, was early on the ground and brought eight guns into position, four of them of Hart’s regular battery.  The rebel loss was quite severe, as was our own.  We took several hundred prisoners, probably about six hundred.
    This result has had a great effect on the army, raising its spirits to the highest pitch.  General Meade issued a congratulatory order this morning to the heavy artillery, which was received with cheers by the troops.
    The loss of the fourteenth is set down in some accounts as 300 killed, wounded and missing, among whom are Major Rolf, killed; Majors Shatswell and Holt, wounded;  three captains and eight lieutenants wounded; of the latter Lieut. Peasley of South Danvers.”

OUR OWN SOLDIERS [Letter to the Editor] “We trust the suggestion contained in the following communication will not go unheeded.  There is a company of our own, the first which went out from us, and one which has one [sic] a high reputation wherever it has been stationed, doing honor to their town, as well as good service to their country, and why should it not be especially remembered?  We hope our patriotic ladies will look to this, and while the General Sanitary Treasury is full to overflowing, let them send out, special gifts to our own men, to satisfy them that they are not forgotten at home:--
MR. EDITOR – Have the good and charitably disposed people of South Danvers forgotten that there is a company in the 17th Regiment, hailing from this town?  Nevertheless, such is the fact.  These men are but human, and will have cold feet, cold hands, and are cold generally, I should suppose, such weather as we are experiencing – and I see that it has been almost as severe in the latitude of North Carolina.  These men are our real patriots.  They enlisted when the country called loud for patriots, and saw the emergency through the clear glass of a nation’s want, and before the ‘green tinge’ was given to patriotism. They are our bone and sinew men, and do not emanate from our mahogany and Brussels boudoirs, but are men of the common walks of life who sacrificed their all to go to war.
    Now, let some of our benevolent women lend their time and collect of the charitable such sums as can be, and let us send these men something feasible in the shape of socks, mittens, under shirts, and drawers – and if they are a month behind New Year, they will be just as acceptable.” Signed “A SUBSCRIBER”.

South Danvers Wizard, 2/10/1864, p. 1/3
FROM NEWBERN – “The Rebels in considerable force, made an attack on our advanced posts near Newbern, N.C. on Monday evening, January 31st, driving in our pickets at Batchelder’s Creek,  (uncipherable) Creek.  Lieut. Col. Fellows of the 17th Mass., with 117 men and a regiment of the 99th N.Y., with a section of a battery, went out on the Washington, and , (uncipherable) the next morning.  Another section went on the Trent road and was captured entire.  Only 50 of the 117 men of the 17th Mass. came back.  The enemy came on them in overwhelming numbers, but our troops held them in check until the baggage and camp equipage could be removed or burned.
     Lieut. Col. Fellows, Surgeon Galoupe, Capt. Lloyd, Lieuts. Davy, Comine, Hill and Mann are missing.  Lieut. Cheever, of Chelsea, was mortally wounded and has since died.  Capt Loyd lost a leg.  The others are supposed to be alive.
     A detachment of the 17th Massachusetts, under Lieut. Conn saved the garrison flag, which in the confusion had been left flying.  The rebels followed our men closely until they were under the guns of the forts.  Our loss is probably 130 killed, wounded and missing.  The 132d N.Y. lost five commissioned officers.  The Acting Quartermaster was killed, and the other mortally wounded.  The enemy’s loss is supposed to be 60 killed and 100 wounded.
     At 3 o’clock in the morning on the 2d inst., the rebels in barges boarded the Underwriter and after a terrible struggle she was captured with her officers and a large number of the crew.  Fortunately she was hard aground and this alone saved her from being carried off by the rebels.  The rebels that boarded her were 250 strong from Savannah, Ga., from whence they brought the barges by railroad.  The rebels being unable to move the gunboat, set her on fire, and she soon blew up.
     Nearly two-thirds of the crew of the Underwriter is safe.  All the officers except Third Asst. Engineer Allen were captured.  A large number of the crew, while being conveyed away by the rebels in a barge, seized the rebel officer and his men and brought them safely into port.  The Underwriter had, before she was attacked, sent a boat’s crew on a reconnaissance.
     Later news report, officials say that the rebels have retired to Kinston.  Lieut. “Conn”, of whom worthy mention is made in above account, is undoubtedly Lieut. Cann of Danvers. “ See Also Army Correspondence, 2/17/1864, p. 2/5 from “J.S” at Newbern, Feb. 5, 1864.

FOSTER GUARDS – “Although we have no wish to lessen the opportunities of our South Danvers boys for winning honors in the field, yet we own up to a feeling of great satisfaction at hearing that Company B, of the 17th, did not happen to be in the detachments under Lieut. Col. Fellows, which was gobbled up by the rebels the other day near Newbern, but were doing guard duty in the city.  We hear that the company still maintains the high rank in the regiment that it has ever had since it left Lynnfield.”

South Danvers Wizard, 4/6/1864, p. 2/4
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT – “We have several times heard the rumor that this regiment, which was recruited in Lynnfield early in the war, now serving at Newbern, has re-enlisted, and will soon come home on furlough.  As we have a company in this regiment, it would be interesting for our town’s people to know whether the rumor is well founded or not.  We formerly had several correspondents in this regiment, but they seem latterly to have subsided.  What’s the trouble?  Is paper too dear or ink scarce? Let’s hear from you, boys.”

South Danvers Wizard, 4/13/1864, p. 2/4
SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT – “In response to the inquiry made in our last as to whether this regiment had re-enlisted, we are informed by a member now home on a furlough, that 225 of them have done so, including twelve of the South Danvers company.  At the time they re-enlisted they were promised a 30 days’ furlough, but the late rebel raid on the defences  at Newbern made it imprudent for them to leave; and it is now doubtful whether they will return till their time expires, which will be about the middle of July next.”

RETURN OF THE GALLANT NINETEENTH – “This glorious band of heroes arrived in Salem last Monday afternoon, at about 3-1/2 o’clock, the train stopping at the foot of Hancock Street, South Salem.  The escort consisted of the Salem Mechanic Light Infantry, under Lieut. Reeves; the Salem Cadets, under Lieut. Foster; and the past members of the Salem Light Infantry, under Capt. Farless – all preceded by the Salem Brass Band; and after exchanging the usual military salutations, the column took up its line of march from Lafayette Street through the principal streets of the city to Mechanic Hall, amid the booming of cannon and the ringing of all the bells in the city.  The war worn veterans, with faces hard and brown with long service, and with the American and State standards begrimed with the smoke of cannon and musketry, and torn and tattered by the bullets of many a hard fought field, afforded inspiration enough in themselves to quicken the blood and awaken a thrill of gratitude in the hearts of all beholders.  The veterans were accompanied by the band of the 59th Regiment, preceded by a small detachment of pioneers.”

WAR CORRESPONDENCE – “Camp of the 39th Mass. Vols., near Cold Harbor, Va. – Friend Howard, - We have just been treated to the delectable sounds of our evening tattoo, played on two bursted drums and one or two squeaky fifes – the balance of the instruments belonging to our drum corps having been abandoned during the campaign for want of transportation.  We are at the present time supposed to be recuperating our energies for the next movement by the left flank, which many commence at any time.  We have been at this place since last Sunday night – the first rest that our brigade has had since May 4th.  I can tell you nothing of the general features of the campaign that you do not already know, but a short relation of the experience of the 39th may be acceptable.
     Our first fight was in the Wilderness, where we relieved another regiment which had broken, and we had a lively time in moving on to the line.  Daniel Burnham, of Essex, was killed here, and during the day, one other of the regiment was killed and sixteen wounded. – We essayed a charge about the middle of the afternoon.  Our brigade commander advanced gallantly from a clump of pine trees some distance in rear of our line, and bravely waved us forward, and then retired, so that the men might have a clear field and win all the glory.  I think that our regiment and one other were all that started to break Lee’s front on this occasion, and we soon came back wiser, and scared most to death. How a man of us escaped the shower of canister that came about our heads, has always been a mystery to me. – Our first experience, you see, was not a peculiarly cheerful one.  We were in no other actual fight, while the army remained in the Wilderness, but did the reinforcing, supporting, etc., for anybody who wanted us.
     On Saturday night, 7th inst., we started over the Fredericksburg road for Spottsylvania C. H., reached Todd’s Farm about daylight; found the rebels there before us; formed brigade line, and advanced through the woods; drove the rebel skirmishers about two miles; captured five horses of a light battery, (which battery limbered to the rear very suddenly, or we should have got guns and all;) halted about five minutes, advanced again about a half mile; came upon the rebel breastworks; tumbled down for want of breath and strength to go further; and those of us who did escape death or capture, considered ourselves at the time remarkably fortunate.
     It was a most injudicious movement.  Think of running over two miles, in a scorching sun, carrying a heavy load, and then, all exhausted as we were, ordering a charge on a strong line of works well defended by fresh men!  As the rebels said, the very audacity of the thing saved us from destruction.  Those works have been successively attacked by ten times the force since, and have not yet been taken.  We lost in this fight six killed, fifty wounded, and thirty-one missing.  Col. Davis was sun-struck and Lieut. Col. Peirson, wounded by a buckshot in the arm.  Twelve of the missing were re-taken by Sheridan and have since rejoined the regiment.  The next Tuesday we were in our next fight, in a thick woods, exposed to a rain of musketry and a cruel flanking fire from a battery for more than six hours.  Here Co. Peirson was wounded again, by a shell, and carried from the field.  We all thought him dead, but by a lucky chance he escaped, and after an absence of less than a month, is with us again. No braver officer ever went into a fight than Lieut. Col. Peirson of Salem.  Our Adjutant was also wounded here in much the same manner, though not so severely, but with the addition of a bad wound in the hand. He bore himself like a soldier.  During the whole campaign he was unwell, and should have been in the hospital rather than in the field, but would not leave the regiment.  We are all proud of him, and hope to have him with us again soon.  It is not necessary for me to mention Col. Davis and his conduct.  He can’t live away from the regiment a day.  We have reason to be thankful that we have not had cowards to lead us, but men of cool, calm, courage, who say to us ‘come,’ and not ‘go’.  You have seen the progress of the army as far as this place by the papers, and that the 39th corps has had its share of work to do.  Our regiment has so far built twenty-one lines of breastworks besides its quota of marching and fighting, but the boys were never in better health or spirits than at the present time.  Two or three more of Lee’s victories will finish his army.  – Look at the map, find Germania Ford on the Rapidan, and you will see that we come about in a straight line to this place.  This is what we started to do.  Lee has either been whipped or flanked out of every position he has attempted to hold so far, but I suppose he has been victorious in getting back to Richmond at all. 
     Notwithstanding the hard fighting, incessant marching and hard work, we have had to do, the men are as tough and hearty as when they started.  It is rare thing for a man to report to the Surgeon for treatment – Since we started on the campaign, the 39th has had but one man reported as a straggler, which certainly speaks well for us, when so many are sent here every day from the rear, under arrest , for skulking from the field, and leaving the ranks for the merest scratches.  The marching of the Army of the Potomac never moved so smoothly and noiselessly before.  The requisite number of men is always in the right place at the proper time; no surprises have occurred; every man has had to do his proportion of the labor, there being no reserves.  Our rations have been issued with great regularity, and a few days at a time, so that the men might have the lightest possible load to carry; and everything seems to indicate a master had at the helm.
     Field service is not conducive to cleanliness.  Four blessed weeks, I lived without a change of clothing.  I must have got through with my peck of dirt.  What I didn’t eat was thrown down the back of my neck.  Occasionally we managed to remove the dirt from our eyes sufficiently to enable us to distinguish a cracker, but farther than this I can say but little.  In the words of ‘our correspondent’, the ‘future historian’ will have the tale to tell.  The different descriptions of the louse accompanying the army, will also be a pleasing theme for some enthusiastic naturalist.  Linebacks, gray-backs, red-heads, tortoise, and many kinds for which no name has been found, rouse the weary soldier from his dreams of home, and quicken his steps on the hot and dusty march.  We have come to look, even with complacency, upon those things that would cause a shudder of disgust to agitate the breasts of some of our fair friends at home.  This week the wagons containing our baggage were allowed to come up for the first time, and a general change was at once apparent.
     I think that but one man of Co. A is known to have been killed, so far.  Two are at present missing – private Morse and Color Sergeant Cotrell.  Morse is wounded and a prisoner.  Nothing has been heard from Cotrell.  Capt. Nelson has been very fortunate so far, although his health is not good.  The youthful fire raging in his system a couple of years ago, does not at present blaze with its former fierceness, though it is certainly very well under control.  He feels very desirous of knowing if the quota is full, as he knows a great many who ought to come.  Sergeant Blaisdell, who was a prisoner, and re-captured, is with us. The reports of his death were unauthorized by any official information, and must have given his family much needless grief and alarm.  Too much care cannot be taken in making reports after a fight.  Men are excited, and don’t hardly know what they see or hear.  Some will take their oath that they saw a certain man with his head blown away, and before their story is finished, the identical person may come in without a scratch. Blaisdell is looking well and is ready for another dash when the occasion offers.  Simonds is at home, I understand, on a furlough.  I did not see him in the fight, but his officers say that he charged with the fury of a tiger on the enemy, and if we had had 9,999 more just like him, no force could have withstood our assault. Sergeant J. P. Dodge came out of it without a wound and behaved well.  In fact, South Danvers need not be ashamed of her sons in this war. Their record is good, and wherever they may be placed, I am sure they will do their duty.
     We are all looking for the end, which cannot be far away, when we can exchange these scenes of turmoil, blood, and horror, for the quiet and repose of home.  Those who survive may well feel proud of their connection with the Army of the Potomac in its triumphal march to victory, while those who fall will leave a hero’s name and fame behind them.  They will die in a just cause, and their memory will be fresh in the hearts of a grateful nation.
     Yours truly,
      C. W. H. (Charles W. Hanson)

FIFTY-NINTH REGIMENT – “The report that the 59th Mass. Regiment was badly cut up in the battle of the Wilderness, is untrue.  It may relate to some other regiment, or be entirely without foundation, as are too many rumors from the battlefield.  The 59th was in the battle and behaved admirably.  It is a new regiment and have never fired a gun, till reaching the army after a hurried and fatiguing march it was at once ordered to the front, where it was under the heaviest fire without faltering, and lost sixty men.  Col. Gould, after the fall of Gen. Stevenson, was in command of the brigade, and was sun struck and fever struck, so as scarcely to be able to stand, but he refused to be carried to the hospital and remained with his command on the field.”
