in the possession of the Union army. Here the regiment had a period of needed rest. On the 10th of March the Tenth Corps marched to join Gen. Sherman on information that he had arrived at Fayetteville. Sherman's whole army passed the Corps at Cox's Bridge, fresh from their battle and victory at Averysboro. After a short rest the Tenth Corps was detailed to open and guard the railroad from Wilmington to Goldsborough. The Fourth was stationed along the road between Wilmington and Little Washington. Supplies having been forwarded to the main army, the whole force once more pushed on to finish the enemy. Lieut. Col. Parker and Adjutant Challis were captured when a short distance outside the picket line, by a squad of Wheeler's cavalry; thus being afforded the pleasure of seeing the rebel army collapse, when the news was received of Lee's surrender.

Through the exertions of Gov. Frederick Smyth, the Fourth was mustered out, and arrived home on the 27th of August. The city of Manchester gave them a grand reception. Gov. Smith welcomed the regiment in an eloquent speech.

One hundred and forty veterans returned with the regiment. Fifty were mustered out in hospitals. During the four years 1394 men were members of the Fourth. Of these 282 were killed in action or died of disease; 340 were discharged for disability occasioned by wounds or disease, and 57 died in rebel prisons. Thus after four years of arduous and honorable service, the Fourth Regiment ceased to exist as an organization, and its members returned to their peaceful avocations.

FIFTH REGIMENT.

The Fifth Regiment was raised under the same call and paid the same bounty as the Third and Fourth. It rendezvoused and was mustered into the United States service at Concord, its muster being completed on the 26th of October, 1861, and reported ready for active service. The whole organization numbered ten hundred and ten, including a good band and a corps of buglers, attached to each company, and it left the State for the seat of war, on the 29th of October. The colors were presented by Gov. Berry, and received by Col. Cross with appropriate and earnest speeches. Previous to the day of departure the men were given three days furlough, in which to visit their homes and friends, and to many of them it was, alas, their last visit. The following were the field, staff and company officers of the regiment, and their record, during its term of service:
