REMINISCENCES OF THE ARMY.

Gathering of the Host on the Old Camping Grounds
The Farms Laid Waste in '61 still Barren in '65
Reminiscences of a Court-Martial--What Became of It
Homeward Bound:
From Our Own Correspondent.
CAMP OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,

Monday, May 22, 1865.
It is almost four years since these, then fertile, cultivated
farms, were ruthlessly trodden by the armed hosts who
gathered here that the republic might live. Speedily every trace
of peace and prosperity departed; the husbandman's work of
years vanished in a night; crops, fences, houses disappeared,
and now in all the fifty square miles covered by the south side
defences of Washington and the outlying camps, there is left
standing scarcely a score of the original tenements found there
in the Spring of 1861. The great Arlington estate, with its grand
old mansion, situated in the most sightly location around the
city, is the wreck of its former self -- a wreck typical of the
fortunes of its former owner and the cause which he uphold: it
is the memorial which ROBERT E. LEE bequeaths to posterity
as the consequence of his crime, and the Freedmen's Village
which covers part of the estate, is the monument which marks
this famous garden of Southern chivalry. What fruit it has
brought fruits!
Now, after four years of bitter, cruel, but gloriously
successful war, these same fields are covered by the
encampments of two hundred thousand battle-scarred
veterans, on their way home from the wars! The fields are still
desolate; no filler of the soil has summoned courage enough to
rebuild and repair during these long four years; only the negro,
now the freedman, has here and there brought forth fruit from
this barren waste. All those localities, Arlington Heights, Ball's
Cross Roads, Munson's Hill, Bailey's Cross Roads, Fall's
Church, Four-mile Run, &c., household words in the time of
the great MCCLELLAN, are still dreary and barren, covered
only by a second growth of timber, sprung up since the axes of
the army cleared away the dense forests of those localities.
A day in the camps, amid old scenes and familiar faces,
brings forth a thousand reminiscences, all of which deserve to
go down in history as memorable facts in the great war, I
cannot detail them here; but one scarce takes the proffered
seat in the hospitable tent of an old friend, ere the battles are
"fought o'er again," and a tender word -- may be a tear --
dropped for the familiar faces and brave spirits now gone
forever.
The gallant Fifth Army Corps, whole symbolical Maltese
cross I followed in other days, with a firm, unyielding faith,
still bears itself with that soldierly deportment for which it was
always famous. To-day it is burnishing its arms and
equipments for the grand parade to-morrow; and the
battalions that bear its emblem will be singled out for the
admiration of the thousands of spectators who are gathering to
witness the final and greatest pageant of the war. Can anyone
tell how a veteran looks? Can anyone describe him? Hardly.
Four years of battles and hardships wonderfully change the
man; but don't tremble for the consequences, people at home;
in a large majority of cases it has improved the men. The sights
of blood, the carnage of the battle-field, the devastation of the
enemy's country, has not rendered the soldier a brute, with
nothing henceforth but animal passions to gratify. On the
contrary, the soldier, in nine cases out of ten, is the better for
his four years of hard service -- for the discipline of the camp --
for the privations which he has learned to endure -- for the
respect to superior authority which he has learned to obey --
for the demonstrations of energy, resolution and moral as well
as physical courage, which every good soldier has exhibited.
Rough life begets rough manners, but there is a tenderness
and refinement of feeling and sentiment about many of our old
soldiers, that will astonish those who are looking for a coarse
development of character.
Speaking of reminiscences I must indulge in one. In the
Winter of 1863, soon after HOOKER took command of the
Army of the Potomac, Gen. GRIFFIN, then commanding the
First Division of the Fifth Army Corps which was encamped in
that historic pot known in army nomenclature as "Stoneman's
Switch," near Falmouth,) ordered a court-martial in his
division for the purpose chiefly of trying officers and men who
had overstaid their leaves of absence. I have the record of
eleven officers connected with that court, of whom but three
now live. The rest have gone on the scroll of fame, and deserve
far more than this brief perpetuation of their memory. Col.
JAMES C. RICE, of the Forty-fourth New-York, whose name
was the synonym of personal bravery, killed at Spottsylvania,
in May, 1864, Brigadier-General in rank gallantly leading his
men; Col. STRONG VINCENT, Eighty-third Pennsylvania
Volunteers, mortally wounded at Gettysburgh, in the terrible
second day's fight, and appointed Brigadier-General before his
death; Lieut.-Col. JEFFERDS, Fourth Michigan, killed at
Gettysburgh on the same day, bayoneted by a rebel while
refusing to surrender his colors, which he held in his own
hands; Col. PRESCOTT, Thirty-second Massachusetts,
mortally wounded in the terrible charge upon the enemy's
works at Petersburgh, June 18, 1864; Col. WELCH, Sixteenth
Michigan, killed instantly in the battle at Peoble's farm, Sept.
30, 1864, while planting his colors on the ramparts of the
enemy's works; Capt. MOTT, of the same regiment, killed at
Middlebury, Va., June 20, 1863, while supporting the cavalry
under Gen. PLEASONTON; Lieut.-Col. LOMBARD, Fourth
Michigan, killed at the battles of the Wilderness, May, 1864;
Lieut.-Col. SARGENT, Second Maine, subsequently of the
First District Columbia Cavalry, killed in one of the battles last
Summer north of the James. The three members still living are
Lieut.-Col. STEVENSON, formerly of the Thirty-second
Massachusetts, who was badly wounded at the Wilderness;
Major HLSSING, of the One Hundred and Eighteenth
Pennsylvania, who lost a leg February 6, 1865, at Hatcher's
Run; the last one is Brevet Major-Gen. J.L. CHAMBERLAIN,
formerly Lieutenant-Colonel of the Twentieth Maine, who has
defied all the rates and predictions of the surgeons, and still
lives. He was shot through the groin in the charge on the
enemy's works at Petersburgh, June 18, 1864, was brought to
the field hospital and told by the surgeon that he must die;
nevertheless he lived, and on April 1, 1865, at the battle of Five
Forks, he was again struck directly over the heart, but a
package of his wife's letters turned the bullet off, and having
already passed through his horse's neck, it only tore up the
flesh between two of the General's ribs, and, passing out,
demolished a pistol in the belt of an aid behind. A day or two
after, another bullet passed through his left forearm, but the
General never left the field, and will to-morrow ride at the
head of his division, as good as new, and the same modest,
genial and accomplished gentleman and soldier as ever.
Such is the record of the Fifth Army Corps. It has left its
best blood upon the plains of Virginia, and it will not bring
forth treason. To-morrow the survivors will march in triumph
with their brothers-in-arms, their hands will ring out their
notes of victory, and the men will again thank God that "this
cruel war is over," and they are "homeward bound."
