It was with Kilpatrick on his famous raid around At- lanta, skirmishing at Fairburn and Jonesboro' on Aug. 19, and engaging sharply with the enemy at Lovejoy Station on the 20th, in which Capt. James G. Taylor and Lieut. Chauncey C. Hemans were killed; the loss in the raid being 5 killed, 24 wounded, and 15 missing.
It was engaged in the battle at Rome, Oct. 12, and made a sabre charge on infantry the next day, routing them and capturing two pieces of artillery, losing 1 killed and 4 wounded. Two weeks later it was in the closing battle of the campaign at Leeds' Cross-Roads.
The regiment being rendered unfit for duty in the field by reason of its severe losses in men, horses, and equip- ments in the campaign just ended, was ordered to Louisville, Ky., where it was remounted, equipped, and prepared again for active service. While here a reorganization of the regi- ment was effected, by the reason of the mustering out of many of the old officers, whose three years' term had ex- pired. Promotions were made accordingly ; the field-officers being Charles C. McCormick, colonel ; James F. Andress, lieutenant-colonel : Benjamin S. Dartt, Charles L. Greeno, and Uriah C. Hartranft, majors.
It was stationed at Gravelly Springs, Ala., after the battle of Nashville, where Gen. Thomas defeated and put to ront Hood's rebel army. Here it prepared for the spring campaign of 1865, and completed its organization and drill.
It accompanied Gen. James H. Wilson in his expedition from Eastport, Miss., across the Gulf States, and was en- gaged April 1 at the battle of Plantersburg, and on the fol- lowing day led the assault upon the enemy's works before Selma, under Gen. Long. The troops dismounted, and in fifteen minutes from the time of giving the signal to ad- vance had swept over the works and driven the rebels towards the city. The distance which the troops charged, exposed to a fire of musketry and artillery, was six hundred yards. Gen. Long, in describing the assault, says his force actually engaged in the charge was 1550, officers and men, and that the portion of the line assaulted was manned by Armstrong's brigade, regarded as the best in Forrest's corps, and reported by him at more than 1500 men. The loss in Long's division was 40 killed, 260 wounded, and 7 missing. Gen. Long was wounded in the head, Cols. Mil- ler and MeCormick in the leg, and Col. Briggs in the breast.
Gen. Wilson said, " I doubt if the history of this or any other war will show another instance in which a line of works, so strongly constructed and as well defended as this by musketry and artillery, has been stormed and carried by a single line of men without support."
The regiment, from its fearful exposure, lost heavily in killed and wounded, Lieut. Jacob Sigmond being among the former. Col. McCormick fell severely wounded at the foot of the works, as the regiment, in advance of all others, was about entering the fortifications. He was succeeded in the command by Lieut .- Col. Andress, and under him the 7th participated in the engagement near Columbus, April 16, which was its last battle. On the 20th it arrived at Macon, Ga., where it remained until Aug. 13, when it was mustered out of service. The list of engagements of the 7th foot up forty-three.

THE ONE HUNDRED AND. SIXTH REGIMENT.
This regiment was organized in the city of Philadelphia, being recruited in different parts of the State. With the exception of Co. K, which was transferred to it Feb. 28, 1862, from the 67th Regt., the 106th was filled up during the period from Aug. 14 to Oct. 31, 1861. A large number of the officers and men had served in the 22d Regt., and previously in the Philadelphia Light Guard, a militia or- ganization of long standing. Capt. Samuel H. Newman's company, from Bradford County, was assigned to this regi- ment as Co. D, and was. mustered into the service Aug. 27. Cos. C, H, and I also had Bradford County men in their ranks. The first field-officers were Turner G. More- head, colonel ; William L. Curry, lieutenant-colonel ; John H. Stover, of Centre county, major.
The 106th, soon after moving to the front, was brigaded with the 71st Pennsylvania Vols., commonly known as the " California Regiment," commanded by Col. E. D. Baker ; 72d (Fire Zouaves) Pennsylvania Vols., Col. De Witt C. Baxter, and 69th Pennsylvania Vols., Col. Joshua T. Owen. The brigade was commanded by Col. Baker, and was attached to the division commanded by Brig .- Gen. Charles P. Stone, army of Gen. Banks. The 106th was first ordered to duty near Poolesville, Md., where it was thoroughly drilled and instructed, and guard and picket duty performed. On Oct. 21 the disastrous battle of Ball's Bluff was fought by Col. Baker and his regiment, where that gallant officer was killed, and a large proportion of his regiment. The 106th, early in the day, marched to the support of the 7Ist, but- for lack of means of transportation was unable to cross the river, and was obliged to stand upon the opposite shore and listen impatiently to the battle, where the gallant sons of Pennsylvania were bravely fighting against fearful odd s while the men of the 106th, eager for the fray, were unable to render any assistance.
During the winter the regiment, with the brigade, lay at Poolesville, engaged in perfecting its drill and efficiency, and in the duties of the camp and picket. Gen. William W. Burns succeeded Col. Baker in the command of the brigade, and Feb. 24 the whole force broke camp and moved to Harper's Ferry. Two companies were left in command of Maj. Stover to garrison the place, while the army moved on to Winchester ; but at Berryville the brigade returned to Harper's Ferry, and taking the two companies again proceeded to Fortress Monroe via Washington and the Potomae.
The regiment participated in the siege of Yorktown, its principal service being rendered on the picket-line and in the trenches. On the evacuation of that stronghold it moved forward, and stood ten hours in line of battle in a drenching rain, while the battle of Williamsburg was in progress, vainly waiting for orders to advance to the battle. front, the sounds from which were distinctly heard. On Wednesday, May 7, the troops embarked on transports and moved up to West Point, and after a delay of two days marched to Brick House Landing. The Peninsula cam- paign was now opened. The weather was unusually warm, and suitable water for drinking purposes was obtained with great difficulty. By digging from three to five feet almost

anywhere water could be had, but it was surface water only, and its evil effects were soon apparent in prevailing fevers, the sick list throughout the army becoming very large. The regiment suffered severely from this cause.
The battle of Fair Oaks opened on May 31. Summer's Corps was resting at the time on the left bank of the Chick- ahominy, but that intrepid Icader " snuffed the battle from afar," and at once put his columns in motion for the bridge. and was already on his march when the orders came for him to move. The river being swollen by recent rains, it was with great difficulty that the artillery could be got across. Kirby's Battery, by the most persistent efforts, was taken through the swamps, and finally posted where its iron hail dealt death and destruction on the hitherto triumphant foc. Gorman's Brigade and the 71st and 106th Pennsylvania were its sup- port, and held the ground against the most determined efforts of the enemy to capture the guns,-the support exhibiting great gallantry and steadiness in the defense of their position.
Moore's " Rebellion Record"* says, " Prisoners captured during the fight assert that Jeff. Davis was in the rear urging forward his myrmidons, and Magruder, who was with him, swore a fearful oath, ' That's my old battery, and I am going to have it !' alluding to Kirby's, which he, Ma- gruder, formerly commanded."
Capt. Martyn Frost was killed Sunday, June 9, while gallantly leading his company in repelling an attack by a superior force of the enemy, while advancing the picket-line of the brigade. On the following day, Lieut .- Col. Curry was taken prisoner while visiting the picket-post at early dawn, the pickets having fallen back during the night un- known to him. He experienced the " tender mercies" of the rebel jailers at Richmond and Salisbury, at the latter prison-pen having the company of Gen. Michael Corcoran and Col. John K. Murphy. He was exchanged at the end of three months.
Says an officer of the regiment, " On Saturday, the 28th of June, we received orders to strike tents as soon as dark- ness should hide our encampment from the view of the enemy. Our wing had not participated in the disastrous bat- tles of the preceding days. An order was read announcing victory on the day before. Our troops were buoyant in spirit, thinking we were breaking camp to move forward on the enemy. By eight o'clock the wagons were loaded and sent to the rear. The men, with knapsacks packed and haversacks well filled, were ordered to stack arms and rest in line. An hour passed,-two hours,-and yet no orders to march. At length, a little after dawn, orders came,- but to move to the rear."
At Peach Orchard dispositions were made to meet the enemy, as though expected to pursue. Kirby's Battery was supported by the 106th, but the enemy made a feint only, while he moved his principal force past the front with the design of coming in upon the right flank. But Sumner was not to be caught with chaff, and moved his force on the double-quick to Savage Station, and was ready for his antag- onist, who approached on the Williamsburg road, and formed his line in the dense forest on either side.
" Maj. Stover was ordered to advance with two companies
of the 106th and two of the 72d to the edge of the woods, and uncover the rebel front. Moving at double-quick, Stover soon struck the timber and drew the fire of the skirmishers, driving them back to the main line. In the mean time Gen. Burns, forming his line with the 72d on his right, the 106th in the centre, and the 1st Minnesota on the left, stretching from the forest and railroad to the Williamsburg road, pushed forward upon the heels of the skirmishers, taking position at a fence at the edge of the woods, which he stubbornly held, though exposed to a severe fire of musketry and artillery, and gallantly repulsed most desperate charges of the enemy. The action opened at five o'clock, P.M., and lasted for two hours and a half, the enemy charging with desperation, and the right of the 106th and the left of the 72d engaging at one time in a hot hand-to-hand struggle with his charging columns. At length the 1st Brigade charged over the line of the 2d, cleared the woods of the enemy, and the battle ended."t
Moore's " Rebellion Record," before quoted, has the following incident of the battle from an eye-witness of the fight : " I found Gen. Burns stretched under a lofty pine, and his warriors were shunbering painfully around him. His eyes were hollow and bloodshot, his handsome features pale and thin, his beard and clothing were clotted with blood, his face was bandaged, concealing a ragged and painful wound in his nether jaw. Grasping my hand, he said, ' My friend, many of my poor fellows lie in those forests. It is terrible to leave them there. Blakeney is wounded, McGonigle is gone, and many will see us no more. We are hungry and exhausted, and the enemy-the forest is full of them-are thundering at our heels. It is an awful affliction. We will fight, feeble as we are,-but with what hope ?'"
The brigade held its position, however, and when the rest of the corps moved on across White Oak Swamp it brought up the rear.
At the battle of Charles City Cross Roads, on the day following, the 106th was first ordered to the support of the 69th, but just as about to move Gen. Hooker in person ordered it to the extreme left, where it acted with the Excelsior Brigade during the entire engagement, assisting materially in achieving whatever honors were won on that part of the line. The ground was held until the commands of Sumner and Kearney had retired over the Quaker road, and until after daylight, when Hooker followed them. The regiment participated in the bloody battle of Malvern Hill, the brigade being employed chiefly in supporting batteries and reinforcing menaced lines.
After the return of the army from the Peninsula, Gen. Howard was assigned to the command of the brigade. It marched to the battle-field of Bull Run, but did not arrive in time to participate in the decisive part of the engage- ment, but made a reconnoissance, which was followed by the retreat of the army to Centreville.
In the battle of Antietam, on Sept. 17, the regiment fought gallantly and with most desperate bravery, and lost fearfully.
Gen. Sumner moved his corps to the support of Hooker

soon after sunrise on the 17th, the latter being hotly engaged on the north bank of the creek. "In the advance the 106th held a position on the right of the 69th, and pushed steadily forward until its course was arrested at the crest, where the enemy was intrenched, and where he was at the moment receiving heavy reinforcements. Soon after the troops on the left gave way, and the brigade was forced to fall back. Maj. Stover, who was in command, rallied the regiment at a fence skirting a narrow meadow near the Dunker church, and by a well-directed fire succeeded in checking the enemy. At this fence, in less than ten minutes' time, one-third of the entire regiment was stricken down, and at the conclusion of the engagement the dead lay in line as they had stood in the fight." Capt. Timothy Clark and Lieut. William Bryan were among the killed.
In the battle of Fredericksburg the division entered the fight as early as Dee. 11, crossing the pontoons which were laid that day, though the main battle was not fought till the 13th. On this last date, the 106th, with the 69th on the right and 127th on the left, charged upon the rebel works, under a terrific fire from their artillery, and advanced to a position within seventy-five yards of the rebel guns. Under a ceaseless fire from two lines of battle, from mid- day till darkness closed the scene, these three regiments held their position, with a coolness and determination rarely paralleled, though losing heavily in killed and wounded.
After this battle the regiment returned to its camp oc- cupied previous to its movement on Fredericksburg, where it remained for the most part of the time until nearly the close of April, 1863.
The 106th, with the brigade, participated also in the Chancellorsville campaign, but was in no noted engagement. It held the bridge near Salem church, May 3, until Sedg- wick's 6th Corps, retiring before overwhelming odds, had crossed, when the brigade returned to camp.
In the battle of Gettysburg, which opened July 1, 1863, the 106th bore itself most gallantly. It arrived with its corps on the battle-field shortly after midnight of the 1st, and took position on the extreme left of the brigade, behind a low stone wall on the right centre of the line, in front of and to the left of Gen. Meade's headquarters.
The battle opened, on the afternoon of the 2d, on the extreme left, where Sickles stood, hut ere long swept round, enveloping the whole left wing of the army. Sickles men fought with valor unsurpassed, but without defensive works. In an open field it was unavailing, and they were forced back, line after line being crushed. " While the conflict was thus raging on the left, the brigade was lying upon the ground in the rear of the crest of the little hill which overlooked the field ; but, as the wave of battle rolled on towards the right, recognizing the danger to which the left wing was exposed, and seeing that there was a gap in the line to the left, Gen. Webb, in command of the brigade,- ordered it to march by the left flank, then by the right, and, as it reached the erest, it beheld the enemy, not sixty yards in front, marching on, elated by success, as to assured victory. 'Fire ! charge bayonets !' rang out from the lips of the commander. A crash as from a single piece was the response, and, in the twinkling of an eye, bayonets were
fixed, and, with a cheer that betokened the determination which fired each breast, the line went forward, striking the enemy upon his extreme left flank, and hurling him back in dismay." He retreated as far as the Emmettsburg road, pursued closely by the 106th and two companies of the 2d New York.
Lieut .- Col. Curry, who was then in command of the regiment, in a letter, written on the field, to a friend, says, "Our regiment opened fire and charged so determinedly, along with the others, that we drove the enemy to their original lines, and would have spiked a six-gun battery, had we not been ordered back. The carnage was terrible, the ground being covered with the dead and wounded. It was in this charge that Adj. Pleiss fell, being struck in the thigh by a piece of shell. I have fully made up for my capture (in June, 1862), as the regiment took a colonel, 2 majors, a number of captains and lieutenants, and at least 200 privates prisoners. We had more swords than we could use. I have one in place of the one taken from me at Richmond, and also a silver-mounted pistol."
The regiment returned to its place in the line, and was immediately ordered to the extreme right, where the 12th Corps was engaged, arriving there, however, after the fight- ing had ceased at that point. It was then ordered to the support of the 11th Corps at Cemetery Hill, and went into position at ten P.M. on the right of the Baltimore pike, near Rickett's Battery, where it remained until the close of the battle, under the terrific cannonade of the next day. It was among the first regiments to enter the town on the fol- lowing day, the 4th, and after advancing as skirmishers and reconnoitering, Gen. Ames being in command, the enemy being found still in force on the ridge beyond the town, it returned to its position on Cemetery Hill. Lieut. Wm. H. Smith was killed and Adj. Pleiss mortally wounded during the hattle.
