as well for enterprise in business and liberality in promoting the good of the community, as for indulgence to those who were his debtors, and for the exercise of a wide charity to the poor. We knew him, too, when misfortune overtook him, and we know with what honor and honesty and with what fortitude he passed through the dark days of adversity. In the varied relations of his private life he was greatly be- loved; and in his death our city and county have lost a citizen whose modest deportment, exemplary con- duct, public spirit and sterling integrity endeared him most deservedly to the people."

THREE YEARS' SERVICE.


The insurrection having been too powerful to be suppressed by the first display of military authority, the President issued a second procla- mation, calling upon the States to furnish two hundred thousand men who were to be enlisted for three years. The response was prompt and vigorous. The quota of men from Pennsyl- vania was soon filled by the patriotic impulses of her people.


The following companies comprise the men from Berks County who enlisted as volunteers for three years :


Company A, 32d Regt., Capt. Jacob Lenhart, Jr. Company D, 32d Regt., Capt. William Briner.

HISTORY OF BERKS COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.


THIRTY-SECOND REGIMENT.


The Thirty-second Regiment included com- panies A, D and F, from Berks County, the other companies being from Bucks and Phil- delphia Counties. It was mustered into the United States service at Harrisburg, on Ju- ly 27, 1861, after an experience of two months in drilling in camp near Easton.


It was immediately ordered to Washington ; and after remaining there till August 2nd, pro- ceeded to Tennallytown, a village six miles northwest from the Capitol, and was there en- camped with other troops. While in camp the regiment was drilled, and assisted in erecting Fort Pennsylvania, which was a formidable and very important earthwork. On October 9th it moved over the Potomac and encamped near Langley in the army line stretching nearly twenty miles along the Virginia shore. Here they did skirmishing, picketing and drilling.


On March 10th, 1862, it moved with the "Army of the Potomac" in search of the enemy. On April 10th it was taken by rail to Manas- sas Junction with the brigade (second), and thence proceeded to a point opposite Fredericks- burg. Whilst there the trooops were reviewed by President Lincoln. From this point they marched down the Rappahannock, arriving at the White House on the 11th of May, where the 2nd brigade checked the enemy's move- ments, and repulsed an attack upon the train of the Reserves. On May 13th they were within a few miles of Richmond , occupying the ex- treme right and in advance of the main line; there they were attacked by the enemy, and held their ground against vastly superior numbers, resting upon the field at night. At 2 A. M. on the following morning the regiment was relieved. In withdrawing from the field, it passed under a heavy fire from the enemy by which it suffered some loss. At Gaines' Mill, the division, inclu- ding this regiment, was held in reserve; but the enemy soon broke through the first line, and for two hours the regiment was left to bear the brunt of the fierce assault of the enemy, when it was relieved by other troops. Its conduct in this battle was highly praised by General Meade upon the field. On May 15th the regiment was withdrawn across the Chickahominy, and in


June following it was engaged in the battle of Gaines' Mill, which was fought by Mcclellan to save the material of his army. On June 29th it was posted on picket duty toward Richmond. In an engagement there, the regiment was sent forward to feel the enemy, and was received with a withering fire of musketry.


While the whole line was engaged a support- ing regiment mistook the 32nd Regiment in the smoke of battle for the enemy, and opened fire upon its ranks, throwing the men into disorder and causing them to break ; but they did not leave the field. At 11 o'clock in the night of that day the division was withdrawn and marched to Malvern Hill, and afterward to Harrison's Landing, where it was encamped un- til August 1st following.


After the Army of the Potomac was ordered to evacuate the Peninsula, the 32nd Regiment moved to Warrenton after passing other points, and there, on August 24th, was formed in line of battle, but without entering an engagement. Subsequently the regiment was engaged in a battle at Hall's Hill, near Manassas Junction, and its loss was severe ; and at Antietam, on the 16th and 17th of September, where they fought for hours until relieved by other troops. Fifty- one of their number were killed and wounded in this battle. Iin October, November and De- cember they. moved toward Fredericksburg, where they were engaged in battle on the 13th of December. During the charge upon the en- emy the regiment maintained its position with great firmness, and was among the very last to retire. It lost there in killed, wounded and missing, one hundred and twenty-eight men.


After marching to several places without an engagement it moved to the defenses of Wash- ington on February 8th, where it was attached to the 22nd Army Corps. There it was given an opportunity to rest and recruit its ranks, hav- ing been greatly reduced by severe fighting and by long and fatiguing marches. It remained here until January 6th, 1864, when it was or- dered to duty in West Virginia, under General Sickel. The regiment was then commanded by Major William Briner, and with other troops (Fourth Reserves) did picket duty on the roads in the vicinity of Martinsburg during January;

and after marching and counter-marching for about a week for the purpose of finding the enemy and guarding against surprise, in which the men were completely exhausted by loss of sleep and much exposure, they again performed picket duty on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road near Martinsburg until March 29th, when they moved to Harper's Ferry. In the begin- ning of April they proceeded across the Alle- gheny Mountains to Grafton and thence to the Kanawha Valley ; there this regiment was placed under the command of Captain Jacob Lenhart, Major William Briner having been sent to the hospital at Grafton, on account of severe injury on his right hand. On the 6th of May they had a lively skirmish with the Sixtieth Virginia troops at Princetown and during the next two days had a long march of thirty miles to the gap in Walker (or Cloyd) Mountain, near Shannon bridge. On May 9th they had an engagement near by, in which the enemy was routed ; there Captain Lenhart was wounded and the command of the regiment devolved upon Captain Robert Johnson. In the charge upon the enemy's works the regiment had three color-bearers shot down. After considerable marching they halted at Meadow Bluff on May 19th. In this time they had much skirmishing with the enemy ; and every night a strong guard was posted around the camp to avoid surprise. The men suffered much from hunger, and many were without soles on their shoes. On May 22d they moved to Millville, near Louisburg, and while there their term of service expired. In pursuance of orders they proceeded via Pitts- burg to Philadelphia, where they were mustered out of service on June 17, 1864.
