About this time Johnston's battalion was ordered to North Carolina. Ritter's
battery was transferred to Cobb's battalion, and on the 2nd of February ordered to
Mobile, Alabama. The city was reached on the 5th, and on the loth Ritter's and
Phillip's companies took charge of Battery D, three miles from town. The D
Battery contained seven guns — two twelve-pound siege-pieces, four thirty-two
pound navy guns, and one army gun of the same calibre. Ritter was in command.

On the night of April 11, 1865, Mobile was evacuated and the troops were
conveyed on transports to Demopolis, Alabama; thence to Meridian, Mississippi,
on the cars, where, on the 4th of May, General Dick Taylor surrendered to
General Canby. On the loth the Third Maryland Artillery was paroled.
