On 3 July it was ordered to Point of Rocks, where it was stationed, the men armed with muskets, until Dec. 12. The muskets were then exchanged for 6 guns and the battery was stationed on Maryland heights until 16 April 1865, when it turned in its guns and joined the defenses of Washington. Again armed with muskets the men were stationed at Fort Foote during the remainder of their service. They were mustered out at Philadelphia June 29, 1865.
