SECOND BATTALION OF ARTILLERY
Battery A of this battalion, under the command of Capt. Stephen Charpentier, served in the defenses of Mobile until the spring of 1863, when it was attached to General Featherstone's brigade, and afterward did service in Mississippi, known as Charpentier's battery.
Battery C served in General Hebert's brigade and lost heavily at the siege of Vicksburg, where its captain, T. K Emanuel, was killed. The remnant of the battery continued to serve under the command of Capt. John D. Haynie in the army of Mobile until the surrender.
Battery E seems to have served continuously under the command of Capt. J. B. Hutchisson, at or near Mobile.
