ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.
The companies of this regiment were recruited in Franklin and Juniata counties, with the ex- ception of about half of Co. B, which was from Fulton county and recruited by James Pott. They rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, between August 6 and 10, 1862, when a regimental or- ganization was effected, with the following field- officers : James G. Elder, colonel ; D. Watson Rowe, lieutenant-colonel; James C. Austin,* major. On August 15 the regiment repaired to Washington, crossed the Potomac and encamped at Fort Albany, where it remained a week. Moving then to the vicinity of Cloud's Mills, it was assigned to a brigade commanded by Gen. E. B. Tyler. On August 31, Cos. A and B were detailed to guard an ammunition train on its way to the front. The regiment remained at the for- tifications in front of Washington until Sep-
tember 12. Then crossing to Meridian Hill, on the 14th, the march toward Antietam began. On the 16th Tyler's brigade arrived at the Monocacy, and there lay until 3 o'clock P.M. of the following day, when it renewed the march. Arriving at the battlefield the next morning, it was found that the fighting had ended. The regiment went into camp near Sharpsburg, and during its stay received visits and presents from neighbors and friends, and was reviewed by President Lincoln.
The 126th moved to Warrenton with the army, and subsequently to the neighborhood of Falmouth. At 4 o'clock A.M., December 11, it moved from camp for its first battle. It was held in suspense for two days, while the boom- ing of Burnside's cannon filled the air. On the 13th the brigade crossed the Rappahannock, passed through the town (Fredericksburg), and was led out on the Telegraph road to a low meadow on the right, where it was exposed to heavy artillery fire. After a little delay it was ordered to the left of the road, under the shel- ter of a hill. Burnside had said, referring to the hights above, "That crest must be carried tonight," though three unsuccessful attempts had already been made. Now Humphreys' division was ordered to make the final charge. Tyler formed his brigade in two lines, the 126th on the right of the second line, and sounded the charge, ordering his men not to fire, but to rely upon the bayonet. With hearty cheers the brigade advanced, ascended the hill in good order, and proceeded on over the prostrate lines of the last charging column to within a mo- ment's dash of the stone wall where the enemy lay. "But now that fatal wall was one sheet of flame ; and, to add to the horror of the situa- tion, the troops in the rear opened, every flash in the twilight visible. Bewildered and, for a moment, irresolute, the troops commenced firing. This was fatal." The momentum of the charge was lost, and the gallant troops fell back to the foot of the hill. Col. Elder was severely wounded. Twenty-seven men were killed, fifty wounded, and three missing. Such was the loss in that brief charge. Among the wounded were three captains and three lieutenants, James Pott, of Fulton county, being among the num- ber. Gen. Tyler, in his official report, spoke highly of the heroic conduct of his men. Hooker, as he turned to leave the field, said : "No prettier sight was ever seen than the

MILITARY HISTORY.
charge of that division." The next day details searched the field for wounded. Toward mid- night on the 15th, the 126th was sent beyond the town on the advanced picket line, the army meanwhile passing over the river.
The 126th participated in the mud march, sharing the suffering and hardship. Then set- tling down in camp, it remained until the open- ing of the Chancellorsville campaign. Setting out on April 27, the regiment reached the Chan- cellor house at noon, May 1. On Sunday, the third day, Tyler's brigade was given a position on the right of Gen. French, its left being un- supported. For nearly two hours the brigade held its position against twice its number, and only gave way when it had completely exhaust- ed its ammunition, and had used all that could be found npon the persons of the wounded and dead. When only the bayonet was left for defense, with decimated ranks, the brigade fell back, and re-formed in the open field in support of the batteries. The enemy pressed closely after, but his advance was checked. The regi- ment remained in support of the guns until the first corps had gained its position. A week after the battle, at the expiration of the nine months for which the regiment was recruited, the 126th returned to Harrisburg, where it was mustered out May 20, 1863.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT.
This was a nine-months regiment of drafted militia, organized in November, 1862, with David B. Mckibben, U.S.A., colonel ; Elias S. Troxell, of Franklin county, lieutenant-colonel ; Martin G. Hale, of Cumberland county, major. The regiment was from Cumberland, Franklin and Fulton counties. The camp of rendezvous was at Chambersburg. In the latter part of November, being ordered to the front, the regi- ment proceeded to Suffolk, Virginia, and was assigned to Spinola's brigade, Ferry's division. Here it received instruction and drill. The brigade was ordered to Newbern, North Caro- lina, December 28, and there went into winter quarters. A corps of the rebel army, detached from the main body resting at Fredericksburg, was sent in March, 1863, under Gen. D. H. Hill, to North Carolina, there to operate against Gen. Foster's command. Washington, on the Tar river, was closely invested, and the garrison there was surrounded. The 158th, commanded by Lieut .- Col. Troxell, was sent around by water, with other troops, to its relief. On the way a severe storm overtook the vessel and drove it aground, where it lay for two days and two nights. Its stores were lost; but when the vessel was finally rescued it proceeded up the Pamlico river. The enemy had placed obstruc- tions in the stream, at short distances below the town, and stood ready to dispute the passage with heavy batteries. Gen. Prince, command- ing the division, ordered Col. Troxell to embark his men on gunboats and prepare to run the blockade. The troops were placed on board the Phoenix and the Allison, and awaited the coming of night to attempt the hazardous feat. But the commodore, Mc- Cann, was unable to find a pilot, and there- fore refused to send the troops. Subsequently Prince's division returned to Newbern, and the regiment was sent with an expedition across the country, to relieve the garrison. A skirmish

with the enemy took place at Swift river, and he was driven from a line of breastworks cover- ing the village. The campaign ended suddenly. The enemy, fearing to contend in a fair field, raised the siege and withdrew to Goldsboro. Gen. Foster assigned the regiment to duty in garrisoning the town and the surrounding forti- fications. Toward the close of June the regiment was ordered to Fortress Monroe, and after its arrival took an active part in the movement, designed as a feint upon Richmond via White House Landing and Bottom's bridge. After the expedition had accomplished its mission, the regiment returned and was sent with the brigade to Harper's Ferry. Thence it marched to. Boonsboro, and reported on the 11th, to Gen. Meade, who was then following up the retreat of the rebel army from Gettysburg. Three days later, Lee made good his escape across the Potomac, and the regiment, which meantime had been sent to a position on the National road at South mountain, now pro- ceeded to Frederick. On August 8, it was ordered to Chambersburg, where it was mus- tered out on the 12th.
