Our battery made a safe transit, and as speedily as any of the mounted corps, and a few hours later halted with the other regi ments and batteries of our division, in the neighborhood of Fair fax Station. We bivouacked here, receiving in the course of the evening rations for ourselves and grain and hay for our horses. Shortly after the indecisive battle of Chancellorsville, the term of service of nearly 40, 000 men expired. Among these two years regiments was the Sixteenth New York, of the Firs...t Division, Sixth Corps. There being, in the several companies of this corps, men who had enlisted at different times subsequent to the mustering in of the regiment, these soldiers, as three years men, were distributed among various corps of the division, to serve out the remainder of their terms. Thirty of these were attached to the First Massachusetts Battery, and had marched with us to this station. These men were almost without exception from the west shore of Lake Champlain, a hardy, intelligent, and for the most part adaptable body of soldiers ; therefore they were a desirable acquisition to our company ; and it had, including them and other recruits which it had received during the past winter, on the i6th of June, a full complement of non-commissioned officers and privates.
