He returned to New York with the regiment and was mustered out of service with the regiment on May 20th, 1863, at New York City, New York.
He didn't remain out of the service long however as he promptly enrolled on June 5th, 1863, at New York City, New York, for three years service, at the age of 26, and was mustered into service as First Lieutenant & Regimental Quartermaster of the 9th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment on June 9th, 1863, however he was mustered out of service on October 14th, 1863, at New York City, New York, when the regiment was consolidated with several others to form the 17th New York Veteran Volunteer Infantry Regiment.

He continued his service on the staff of the 16th Corps through its campaigns in Mississippi, Alabama, & Tennessee, until he was honorably discharged from service with the regiment on June 29th, 1865. During that time however he had received an appointment as a Captain & Aide-de-Camp of United States Volunteers on March 23rd, 1865, and continued to serve until he was finally mustered out of Volunteer service on October 12th, 1865, thus ending his military service.

Hawkins & Lieutenant George A.C. Barnett) in opening the law practice of Hawkins, Barnett, & Pannes, with which firm he remained until 1907 when he started a separate practice under the title of Pannes & Blau until 1909.
