In the brief campaign which closed at Appo- mattox, on the 9th of April, following, the regi- ment was actively engaged. It passed through Petersburg close upon the heels of the retreating rebel army, and was at Nottoway Court House, when Lee surrendered. Subsequently it pro- ceeded to Alexandria, Virginia, via Petersburg and City Point, where it was mustered out June 1.

What is a most remarkable fact, and without a parallel, so far as the observation of the writer extends, every surviving member of this com- pany was honorably discharged, either by general orders, on account of wounds or disability, or at final muster-out.
SECOND CAVALRY.
The following is a list of Bedford county men who enlisted in September, 1861, under Lieut. William W. Anderson. They were mus- tered into the United States service in October, 1861, forming part of Co. E, 2d Penn. Cav. (the 59th in the line) commanded by Col. R. Butler Price. The remainder of the company was re- cruited in Philadelphia and other portions of the state. Lieut. Anderson was afterward pro- moted to captain of Co. F, and finally to major of the 20th Penn. Cav. See commissioned officers in the following "miscellaneous list." The 2d Penn. Cav. served in the 2d Cav. divis- ion (Gregg's), Cav. corps, Army of the Potomac, and performed most gallant service:
Franklin Miller, disch. in 1864. Jacob C. Smith, vet .; disch. in 1865. William Baughman, died in service. William 8. Suiters, disch. in 1864. Hayes Irvine, disch. in 1864. F. M.

CAPTAIN WILLIAM M. SCHROCK'S COMPANY.
In the month of June, 1863, President Lincoln issued a call for Pennsylvania volunteers to
serve for a period of six months. Under this call Capt. William M. Schrock, of New Centre- ville, in five days recruited a company number- ing eighty men, rank and file. On the 24th of the same month -June, 1863 -a United States mustering officer appeared at the rendezvous (New Centreville) and duly mustered the com- pany into service. Thus, it was the only organization mustered into the service of the United States within the limits of the county during the war.
Without arms, but under strict discipline, the company remained at New Centreville until July 6, when it was ordered to proceed to Berlin, Pennsylvania, by way of Somerset, with orders on the county commissioners for arms and ammu- nition. At Berlin the company was quartered in a vacant house located on East Diamond. It appears that the company was sent to that point to guard against an anticipated invasion by hostile foraging parties sent out from Maryland. On July 9 the company was ordered to report at Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, where large num- bers of troops were assembled under the com- mand of Gen. Miles. After remaining in camp several weeks Capt. Schrock's command was ordered into the town of Huntingdon, where, with quarters in the court-house yard, it per- formed provost duty. On August 31 the captain, second lieutenant and sixteen men were drafted for duty at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Seven- teen days later the company was ordered to Harrisburg and from that city it was sent for- ward to Gettysburg, where it guarded the field hospitals until October 28. Afterward, until December 11, its members performed provost duty in various parts of the state. From December 11 until January 8, 1864, the company was in charge of the Soldiers' Retreat at Harris- burg. From date of muster in until October 2, this organization was known and designated as an independent company. After the last men- tioned date it was attached to the 1st battalion six months Penn. Vols. as Co. H. The company was mustered out of service at Harrisburg, Penn- eylvania, on January 8, 1864.
From the facts that Bates, in his " History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers," makes no mention of this company, that government officials refuse to furnish a list of members' names, etc., from original rolls, and that all papers relating to the company in possession of its officers have been destroyed by fire, it has been extremely difficult

WAR OF THE REBELLION-CONTINUED.
to ascertain anything definite concerning this company of Somerset county men. Hence we add that in compiling the foregoing account, as well as the roster which follows, Capt. Schrock has depended largely upon his memory. There- fore he says, "some inaccuracies may appear, but in the main the names, dates, etc., are correct. Some fifteen or twenty of the men re-enlisted a few days before muster out, but their names, etc., cannot be designated with exactness."
