The regiment now returned to Romney. On the 15th of August Col. Mulligan, in command of the 23d Ill., was threatened with an attack near Petersburg, and the 54th marched to his assistance. Here it remained, and for three weeks was engaged in fortifying. The bri- gade moved to Springfield on the 6th of No- vember, where a reorganization of the command took place, the 54th being assigned to the 1st brigade of the 2d division, Col. Campbell in command.
On the 4th of January, 1864, Gen. Kelly ap- prehending an attack upon Cumberland, Col. Campbell, with a part of his command, was ordered to its defense. A month later Co. F, while guarding the railroad bridge at Patterson's creek, was attacked by a party of the enemy under the notorious Harry Gilmore, in the garb of Union soldiers. By this deception the rebels reached the picket line unsuspected, when they dashed into the camp, and, after a short struggle,

compelled its surrender. 'Three of the company were killed and several wounded. After the surrender, Gilmore, with his own band, shot and instantly killed Corp. Gibbs, an act which should stamp its perpetrator with infamy for- ever. Col. Campbell, at his own request, was then relieved from the command of the brigade and assumed charge of the regiment.
About this time Gen. Sigel relieved Gen. Kelly, and immediately commenced prepara- tions for a campaign in the Shenandoah valley. On the 15th of May, while pushing his columns up the valley, Sigel struck a force of the enemy unexpectedly large, under Breckinridge, near Newmarket, prepared for battle. Confident of his ability to drive the opposing force, Sigel disposed his troops for battle. His left flank was protected by cavalry, while three regiments of infantry -the 34th Mass., Ist Va., and 54th Penn., composing the 2d brigade - under com- mand of Col. Thoburn, and two batteries, were formed for the attack, with Moore's brigade in support on the right. At the opening of the battle the cavalry, in passing to the rear, threw the infantry into some confusion, breaking through its lines. Steadily the enemy moved forward to the attack, his long lines over- lapping both flanks of Sigel's force. The Union artillery, though plied with excellent effect, could not stay the rebel columns. Arriving within easy musket range, the infantry of both sides opened, simultaneously, a heavy and mu- tually destructive fire. The enemy's great superiority in numbers at length prevailed, and the Union lines were forced back, the 54th retir- ing in good order, returning the fire of the enemy until he ceased to pursue. Sigel retreated to Cedar creek, where he threw up defensive works. The loss of the 54th in this engage- ment was one hundred and seventy-four in killed, wounded and missing. Capt. Geissinger and Lieut. Colburn were among the killed, and Lieut .- Col. Linton, Capts. Graham and Bon- acker, and Lieut. Anderson wounded.
Soon after the battle near Newmarket, Gen. Sigel was relieved, and Maj .- Gen. Hunter was assigned to the command of the army, which was now designated the Army of the Shenan- doah. On the 26th of May, Hunter began his campaign by advancing up the valley, the enemy meanwhile stubborniy contesting his progress. On the morning of Sunday, June 5, the 1st brigade, Col. Moore, which had the
advance, met the enemy in force near New Hope Church. Moore's brigade made three suc- cessive charges, but each time was repulsed by a murderous fire. At one o'clock P.M. Thoburn's 2d brigade (of only three regiments) was ordered to storm the works, which six regi- ments (Moore's brigade) had failed to carry. " These works, substantially built, were situ- ated upon the brow of a hill, reached by a gradual ascent. Quickly forming, the line moved rapidly to the foot of the hill, where it halted, while the artillery threw a well-directed shower of shells upon his lines. As the fire slackened, the order to charge was given. With shouts, the line moved forward at double-quick, and, pausing not for an instant, it scaled the breastworks. A single volley was poured in upon the rebel mass, when muskets were clubbed, and a terrible hand-to-hand encounter ensued. With unflinching bravery, this small brigade held the ground it had won against the repeated attempts of the enemy to regain it. Finally, the rebel leader, Jones, fell, his brain pierced by a bullet, and the rout of his forces commenced. The loss of the regiment in this battle was thirty killed and wounded. Adjt. Rose was among the latter."
At Staunton, Virginia, Hunter was joined by Gen. Crook, who had advanced from the Ka- nawha valley. The 54th was here transferred to Crook's command, and formed part of the 3d brigade of the 2d division, Col. Campbell taking command of the brigade, and Maj. Yutzy of the regiment. The combined Union forces now pushed rapidly forward toward Lynchburg, the the enemy steadily contesting the way. Lexing- ton was occupied on the 11th, and on the 17th Hunter arrived in front of Lynchburg, where the enemy had concentrated in large force. For two days the contest was waged with varying success, raging at times with great fury. Mean- while the men of the 54th were without rations, and were worn out with hard service ; but they never flinched from the severe duty to which they were subjected. Bates says that " fifty- four of their number were killed" in front of the town, and among the wounded was Lieut. Cole, of Co. B.
Finding the enemy too strong for him, his ammunition nearly exhausted, Hunter withdrew, and commenced his retreat across the mountains toward the Kanawha. In a hostile country. short of rations, the hills and the valleys scorched

WAR OF THE REBELLION.
by the summer's sun, and the fountains dry, it would be difficult to give an adequate conception of the sufferings and privations of man and beast in this memorable march. Reaching Camp Pyatt, on the Kanawha, on the 29th, after a brief respite the army was taken by trans- ports to Parkersburg, and thence by the Balti- more & Ohio railroad to Martinsburg, arriving on the 14th of July.
The Confederate Gen. Early, who had been detached from Lee's army at Petersburg, for a diversion in its favor, had advanced into Mary- land, had driven Wallace from the Monocacy, and had approached to the very gates of the na- tional capital. The timely arrival, however, of the 6th and 19th corps from Grant's army caused him to turn back, and, to intercept his retreat, Hunter's forces were ordered forward from Martinsburg. Crossing the Potomac at Harper's Ferry and immediately recrossing at Berlin, the command hastened on to the neigh- borhood of Snicker's Gap, where it was ascer- tained that the enemy had already passed through. Gen. Crook, who had succeeded Gen. Hunter in the command of the Army of the Shenandoah, continued the pursuit beyond the Blue Ridge. Early's force was overtaken, and the three brigades under Col. Thoburn imme- diately attacked them, but after a spirited en- gagement, Thoburn, being outflanked and vastly outnumbered, was driven to the opposite side of the river. In this action the loss of the 54th was severe.
Gen. Wright, with the 6th and 19th corps, now came up, and after pursuing Early to Win- chester, returned with the two corps mentioned, to Washington, leaving Crook in command. The brigade of which the 54th formed part was here transferred to the division commanded by Col. Mulligan, of the 28d Ill. Early soon learned of the withdrawal of Gen. Wright, and, turning upon his tormenters, commenced skir- mishing with Crook's advance, on the 23d, which lasted during the day. Early on the following morning the enemy made a vigorous attack, which increased in fury as the day wore on. The Union troops maintained their position and punished the enemy severely, but aware of his inferiority in numbers, and that his position was liable to be turned, Crook ordered Mulligan to withdraw. At the moment that the retrogade movement commenced, the enemy charged and the movement had to be executed under a ter-
rific fire of infantry and artillery. The 54th, which had fought its way up to and beyond Kernstown, full of courage and confidence, heard the order to retreat with evident dissatisfaction, but executed it in excellent order, twice facing about and delivering a well-directed fire into the faces of the pursuing host. Col. Mulligan fell mortally wounded, at the moment the retreat commenced, and the command of the division devolved on Col. Campbell, that of the brigade on Capt. John P. Suter, of the 54th, and of the latter regiment on Capt. Franklin B. Long, of Co. G. Crook now withdrew his forces across the Potomac.
During the remaining summer months the regiment participated in various minor marches and counter-marches. The army was now under the command of Gen. Sheridan, and reorganized, was prepared for an active campaign. The 54th participated in the series of heavy skirmishes at Cedar creek, in August, and was in the near vicinity of the fight at Berryville which oo- curred on September 3. Soon after it was trans- ferred from the extreme left of the infantry line, to the extreme right, at Summit Point, where it remained until the 19th, repairing as far as possible the ravages of the campaign, distributing supplies and assigning recruits, convalescents and veterans returned from fur- lough.
"At two o'clock on the morning of September 19, Sheridan advanced to drive the enemy from his strongly fortified position near Winchester. Crook's corps [now known as the 8th] reached the railroad crossing of the Opequan, at eleven A.M., and was here held in reserve until two P.M., the sound of battle fiercely raging beyond the small stream distinctly audible, when it was or- dered to advance. Crossing to the right of the Winchester pike, the regiment was formed in the rear of a wood, through which it advanced in line, relieving a portion of the 19th corps. Here Crook's entire line lay for some time in comparative quiet, responding at brief intervals with random shots to the skirmish firing of the enemy. Suddenly, to the right, was heard a loud shout. It was the charging of the Union cavalry under Torbert. Simultaneously Crook received the order to charge, and with shouts and cheers the whole line rushed forward into the open field, and though many fell, unbroken it moved forward with irresistible force, pushing the enemy and allowing him no time to rally,

until he was flying in complete rout and confu- sion far beyond Winchester."
Two days later, the regiment, then under command of Maj. Yutzy, formed part of the force which, moving quietly along the rough and precipitous sides of North Mountain, turned the left of the enemy, stationed at Fisher's Hill, and, with an irresistible charge, swept down on his flank, driving him from his guns, and almost annihilating his command. The regiment with other troops pursued the demoralized forces of the enemy beyond Harri- sonburg, whence it returned with the army to the north side of Cedar creek.
"On the 19th of October, in the absence of Gen. Sheridan, Early passed silently from his camp at midnight, and, dividing his command into two columns, gained a position undis- covered, in dangerous proximity to the Union force, whence, in the mist of the early morn, he fell, with crushing force, upon the Union troops reposing unsuspicious of danger. Crook's corps in advance was first attacked, and, before it could form in line, or offer any resistance, was driven back. When the rout of our forces was complete, and the enemy was in full posses- sion of our camps, artillery and many prison- ers, Sheridan arrived upon the field, and, with remarkable coolness and assurance, collected his scattered forces, formed his lines of battle, and when well in hand, and inspired with the spirit of their leader, he fell upon the enemy, rioting in the captured camps, and before night- fall had retrieved all that was lost, and was glorying in his captures of artillery, small arms and a great crowd of prisoners, the exul- tant enemy reduced to a flying mob." In this engagement, the last fought in the Shenandoah valley, the 54th suffered severely, and among the killed was Lieut. Joseph Peck, of Co. B.
In December the main body of Sheridan's army was ordered to join Grant in front of Petersburg. In the execution of the order, the movement began on the 19th, and on the 23d the regiment encamped at Chapin's Farm, where it was assigned to the Army of the James.
When the 3d and 4th reserve regiments were mustered out of service in May, 1864, the vet- erans and recruits of those organizations were formed into an independent battalion, which was subsequently attached to the 54th. On the 7th of February, 1865, the term of original en-
listments having expired, an order from the war department directed that the two organiza- tions should be consolidated under the name of the 54th regiment. This was effected and the following field officers were commissioned (the original officers of the regiment having been mustered out at the expiration of their terms of service): Col. Albert P. Moulton, Lieut .- Col. William A. McDermit and Maj. Nathan Davis. It was soon after assigned to the 2d brigade, independent division of the Army of the James, commanded, by Gen. Ord.
On the morning of the 2d of April the regi- ment joined in the general forward movement of the army, and, proceeding with the brigade, crossed the rebel works, now abandoned, and approached Fort Gregg. Here a brief but sharp fight took place, in which the regiment lost twenty killed and wounded. Maj. Davis and Lieut. Cyrus Patton were among the killed.
Routed from its works, the rebel army was now retreating rapidly toward the North Caro- lina border, and for the purpose of cutting the enemy's way of retreat, and delaying his demoralized columns, the 54th Penn. and the 123d Ohio, Col. Kellogg, with two companies of the 4th Mass. Cav., Col. Washburn, were ordered to make a forced march to High Bridge, and effect its destruction. This detach- ment marched on the 5th of April. " Arrived at Rice's Station, Gen. Read, of Ord's staff, took command, and when within sight of the bridge made his dispositions for the attack. Before the column could be formed, word was brought that the videttes at Rice's had been driven ; nothing daunted the little force promptly attacked. But the enemy had taken ample precautions for the safety of this, their main avenue of escape, and after a desperate struggle, in which Gen. Read was killed, Cols. Kellogg and Washburn wounded and taken pris- oners, and a large proportion of the command killed or prisoners, surrounded on all sides by the main columns. of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, it was forced to surrender. The loss of the 54th was twenty-one killed and wounded. The captives were taken back to Rice's, where, to their astonishment, they beheld Longstreet's corps intrenched, having come up but a few mo- ments after Read's column had passed in the morning."
This attack, though failing in its immediate purpose, subserved the main end ; for Lee's

columns were thereby delayed several hours, enabling Sheridan to sweep around the enemy's rear, and complete the destruction and capture of that once proud and defiant army. For four days without rations, the captives marched with the retreating rebel army, when, to their great joy, they were released from their captivity and their starving condition by Grant's victorious columns. From Appomattox Court House, the regiment was sent to Camp Parole, at Annapolis, Maryland, and July 15, 1865, its members were mustered out of service at Harrisburg, Pennsyl- vania.

As & further explanation, we add that the work of preparing the muster-out rolls of this regiment seems to have been done but imperfectly. Thus, opposite many of the names no remarks appear, and where men enlisted in 1861 and 1862, and re-enlisted in 1864, the date of their second muster in, only, is shown.
