The enemy threw out skirmishers and advanced with great caution, and about the time the 78th commenced to engage him a staff officer appeared with an order to retreat, delivering the order in

haste and leaving. The movement was made to the rear with as much precision and cool purpose as if on drill, Maj. Bonnaffan commanding the skirmishers to cover the retreat. A long distance was traveled, with no troops in view excepting the pressing and exultant rebel army, which numbered at least 10,000, following in the wake of this handful of the sturdy sons of Armstrong and surrounding counties.
After marching at least a mile the regiment passed into a gorge or ravine covered with timber, and here it passed from the view of the enemy and was met by Gen. Negley, who ordered Col. Blake- ley to form and defend the passage of this gorge. The formation being perfected, the enemy was pressing on all sides, and Bonnaffan was laughing at the chance of a fight. At this juncture a staff officer from the staff of Gen. Thomas rode down the wooded hill from the direction of Chattanooga and asked Col. Blakeley what he was doing here, to which he replied stating his orders. The staff officer said that the regiment was then at least a mile ontside of the new battle-line established by Gen. Thomas, that he was hunting a place to get in, and gave as a command from Gen. Thomas the direction of a line of march, which might lead in a mile and a half to the Dry Valley Road.
The march was renewed and continued in the same calm, measured step, and just before reach- ing the Dry Valley Road Gen. Negley was met, who immediately ordered the regiment, the only one of his division left to him, to guard the trains and artillery from the defeated portion of the army, which were then engaged in a pell-mell con- test down the Dry Valley Road to Chattanooga, the enemy in hot pursuit. The 78th was thrown between the trains and the enemy, and the pur- suers kept at bay until the trains had all passed out of immediate danger. The regiment was then placed at the junction of the roads near Ross- ville gap to intercept the retreating troops, for the purpose of reorganization of the broken army.
Gen. Thomas having held the main body of the rebel army in check till after dark, a new line was established in his rear, and the whole army formed upon it during that night, and it was successfully maintained during the following day, and on the night of the 21st the army fell back upon Chatta- nooga, and on the morning of the 22d a battle line was formed. This whole day was spent in great anxiety, and momentary expectation of an attack that would drive the Federal troops into the Ten- nessee river. During this trying day and the previous night, the command of the brigade hav- ing fallen upon Col. Archibald Blakeley, the com-
mand of the regiment devolved upon Maj. A. B. Bonnaffan. For several days the men of the 78th worked day and night on the fortifications until their lives were nearly worked out of them.
On October 10 Gen. Negley's farewell to his division was received, and on October 12 the 78th regiment was assigned to the 3d brigade, 1st divis- ion.' On October 20 Gen. Rosecrans left, having been relieved from the command of the Army of the Cumberland, and on October 23 Gen. Grant ar- rived and assumed command. November 17, 1863, the resignation of Col. William Sirwell was ac- cepted, and the command of the brigade was as- signed to Gen. Starkweather.
From October 22 till November 23 Chattanooga and the Army of the Cumberland was closely be- sieged. The rebels occupied all the prominent po- sitions around Chattanooga, and day and night were plunging their shot and shell into the Union camp from their batteries on Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge and Orchard Knob. At times our troops were in a state of starvation.
While the army lay at Chattanooga it was re- organized into two corps, the 4th and the 14th. The 3d brigade, composed of the 78th regt. Pa. Inf., the 79th regt. Pa. Inf., the 21st regt. Ohio Inf., the 74th regt. Ohio Inf., the 1st regt. Wis. Inf., the 21st regt. Wis. Inf., the 37th regt. Ind. Inf. and the 24th regt. Ill. Inf., was assigned to the 1st divison, 14th corps. The division at its first organization was commanded by Gen. Lovell H. Rousseau, but was soon thereafter assigned to Gen. Richard W. Johnson. The corps was commanded by Maj. Gen. John M. Palmer.
After participating in the battles around Chatta- nooga, Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge on November 23, 24 and 25, 1863, the 3d brigade, including the 78th, was ordered to make a recon- naissance, and on November 29 ascended Lookout Mountain by the Summertown Road, and made a careful reconnaissance of the mountain as far south as Johnston's Crook, and returned to Sum- mertown, near the point, on December 2.
The 78th and the 21st Wis. Inf., for good con- duct during the actions and reconnaissance, were assigned to duty on the mountain, and placed under command of Col. Blakeley, of the 78th Pa. These two regiments remained on the mountain until May 2, 1864. The position was dangerous, the duties onerous, and the privations great. The encampment of these troops was near the north point of the mountain, far above the surrounding country and the camps of the Union army. The mountain running southwardly into the rebel lines near Rome, Georgia, gave the enemy a
75

perfectly safe route along its top to attack the troops on the point, as the lofty palisades of the mountain would protect both flanks; and in case of an attack, reinforcements from Chatta- nooga could not be expected in less than two hours. Col. Blakeley immediately surveyed and laid out a line of earthworks across the mountains, and the men, though wearied and starving, went vigorously to work and soon completed the line, which rendered the position comparatively defensi- ble. Supplies had to be hauled up the mountain from Chattanooga by mules scarcely able to walk. Notwithstanding the scarcity of provisions, and the heavy details for picket and fatigue duty, the men of the 78th bore up cheerfully and performed every duty with alacrity.
The situation of the regiment on this historic mountain made it the cynosure of all eyes. To its camp officers and soldiers from all parts of the army, and citizens from all parts of the country, came and looked out upon the hills and valleys of seven states. The dark banks of the Chicka- mauga, where but a few weeks before the Union army had struggled in vain for victory; the battle-ground of Wanhatchie, where young Geary fell, and over whose corpse the heroic father fought and won, in the darkness of midnight, one of the most brilliant victories of the war; Mis- sionary Ridge, up which the combined armies of Grant charged and conquered the hosts of Bragg and Longstreet, were all in distinct view, while at its feet they looked down upon the giddy heights where Hooker fought above the clouds.
On April 8, 1864, Col. Blakeley resigned, and the command of the regiment devolved on Col. Sirwell, who had been recommissioned and was now remustered. On May 8 the regiment left its camp on the mountain and rejoined the brigade at Graysville, Georgia, and participated in the en- gagements fought by Gen. Sherman with the enemy at Tunnel Hill, Buzzard Roost, Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church and Kenesaw Moun- tain. While at the last mentioned place, on June 21, 1864, the regiment was ordered to Chatta- nooga for the purpose of guarding trains from there to the front, and it was thus engaged until September 22, when it was ordered to Tullahoma, Tennessee, and assigned to the 4th division of the 20th corps.
On September 24, when on the eve of moving to Tullahoma, the order was countermanded and the regiment ordered to Athens, Alabama. On its way to Athens on the evening of the 25th, at Decatur, Alabama, an order was received to report at once to Maj .- Gen. Rousseau, at Nashville. Ar-
riving at Nashville on the 26th it was immedi- ately ordered to Pulaski, Tennessee, at which place it arrived at noon of the 27th, and partici- pated in an action which defeated the enemy then threatening that post. September 29 the regiment was transported by rail from Pulaski to Nashville, and on reporting at Nashville it was immediately ordered to Tullahoma, Tennessee, which place was menaced by the enemy; arrived at Tullahoma on the night of the 29th and remained there until October 1, when it was transported by rail to Nashville, and on arriving at Nashville on the evening of the 1st, it was immediately ordered to Franklin, Tennessee, which place it reached on the morning of the 2d.
On the 3d the regiment was mounted, and con- stituted a part of the force under Gen. Rousseau, then moving against the rebel cavalry which had been harassing the southern part of middle Ten- nessee. The enemy was driven across the Tennes- see river and the regiment returned to Nashville on October 17, six days after its term of service had expired.
On October 18, 1864, the regiment received orders from Maj .- Gen. Thomas, relieving it from duty in the department of the Army of the Cum- berland, and ordering it to Pennsylvania for mus- ter out. It embarked on the steamer Caroline, on the night of the 18th, and by the Cumberland and Ohio rivers proceeded to Pittsburgh, where it arrived on the afternoon of the 29th, and on the same evening reached Kittanning, in Armstrong connty, Pennsylvania, the place of its organization over three years before.
The regiment was mustered out of the service at Kittanning, November 4, by Lieut. Ward, of the U. S. A., and was paid on the following day, when the "old 78th" was disbanded, aud the toils, privations, sufferings and dangers of a three years' campaign were forgotten amid the con- gratulations, kind greetings and hearty welcomes which the good citizens of Western Pennsylvania showered on these bronzed veterans.
The members of the regiment who had re- enlisted and thereby became " veteran volunteers," and the recruits of the regiment whose terms of service had not expired, were left at Nashville, Tennessee, under command of Lieut. Torbett, of Company F, and Lieut. Smith, of Company K. To these the governor of Pennsylvania assigned a sufficient number of new recruits to make a mini- mum regiment, and designated as the 78th regi- ment, and it was popularly known as the "new 78th." Augustus B. Bonnaffan, who had been major and lieutenant-colonel of the "old 78th," was com-
76

missioned colonel of the "new 78th," with Lieut. H. W. Torbett as lieutenant-colonel, and Lieut. R. M. Smith as major. The regiment thus reor- ganized remained on duty at Nashville until Sep- tember 11, 1865, when it was also honorably dis- charged from the service, in consequence of the closing of the war.
The flag of the "old 78th" regiment was re- turned to the governor of the state, with the names of its battles inseribed upon it as author- ized by the orders of the commanding generals of the armies under whom the battles were fought.
In eoneluding this sketeh it is deemed proper to say that no regiment from the state reflected more honor on the national arms than this one organ- ized here in the county of Armstrong. This was largely due to the personnel of the regiment. In the main its officers and men were educated, intel- ligent, patriotie and brave.
The manifold duties and obligations resting upon the soldier were cheerfully, intelligently and nobly executed. Where all did so well it would be useless to attempt to name one and not another. To mention the humane, generous, brave, heroic deeds of each member of this regiment during its term of service, would be impossible. Yet there is one of the number who by common consent stands out so conspicuously in all the ennobling elements of manhood, in all the grand qualities of a brave soldier and successful military commander that we know it to be the expression of every heart, living or dead, of those who served in the Seventy-Eighth regiment, to now write upon the pages of the history of Armstrong county, his name, the name of Colonel William Sirwell. He organized the regiment, he commanded it, he eneamped with it, he marehed with it, he bivon- acked with it, he fought with it, he was with it in defeat, he was with it in vietory, he went away with it, he came home with it, he loved it, he loves it yet. And its each annual reunion shows the old soldier hearts warming to his with a love strong and bright at first, but growing stronger and brighter as the years run apace-a better monument to William Sirwell than empty promotions, or the tallest shaft of purest marble.
