On its arrival at Washington, Aug. 30, the booming of the guns in the fight then going on at Bull Run was dis- tinctly heard at the capital. For two days the regiment marched and countermarched among the defenses of Wash- ington, ready to repel an attack of the enemy hourly antici- pated. For more than a week after its arrival at Washington the command had no tents, and the days were intensely hot and the nights cool. Rations, too, were scaree, and irregu- larly issued. These privations and exposures soon told upon the health of the men seriously, nearly 300 being carried to the hospital, and 500 reported unfit for duty. About the middle of September the 141st was assigned to the 1st Brigade, Gen. Robinson commanding, in Birney's (formerly Kearney's) division of the 3d Corps; but the regiment re- mained in the defenses of Washington until after the con- clusion of the Maryland campaign, and made rapid progress in drill and discipline in the mean time.


The regiment endeavored to intercept the rebel Stuart on his raid to Chambersburg, but arrived at White's ford just in time to see his rear-guard disappearing over the opposite hills, Oct. 10. The regiment then encamped near Pooles- ville, and remained engaged in picket-duty until the move- ment of the army to Warrenton, in which it joined.


It advanced with Burnside towards Fredericksburg, arriv- ing at Falmouth Nov. 25, where it was ordered to construct permanent winter-quarters. On Dec. 13, Birney's division, after being held in reserve near the head of Franklin's pon- toon bridge, at the lower erossing of the Rappahannock, all the early part of the day, at two o'clock, crossed and has- tened forward to the relief of the Pennsylvania Reserves, whose fierce fighting was then nearly over. The advance of the enemy was checked, and the 141st and other regi- ments of the brigade were posted in support of Randolph's battery. The losses of the 141st in this, its first, engage- ment were 1 killed and 4 wounded. From the evening of the 14th to that of the 15th it oeeupied, with the 57th Pa., the front, being engaged, under a flag of truce, in burying the dead, and bearing off the wounded from the field, where they had lain exposed to the blasts of winter, with wounds undressed, since the morning of the 13th, suffering in- tensely. It reoccupied its former camp during the night of the 15th.


Burnside's second campaign opened Feb. 20, 1863, and the 14th moved with its brigade to the river for laying the pontoons, but the rain beginning to fall and the frost to yield, the roads beeame impassable by reason of the mud, and the campaign was abandoned and the army returned to its winter-quarters.


In the Chancellorsville campaign, which opened on April 28, the brigade, composed of the 57th, 63d, 68th, 105th, 114th, and 141st Pennsylvania Regiments, was commanded by Gen. Charles K. Graham, the corps being under Gen. Sickles. On May 1 the corps moved to the field, taking


position near the Chancellor House. During the afternoon, Graham's brigade was ordered to the support of the 12th Corps, then receiving the attack of the enemy. The enemy opened with his artillery ou the brigade as it approached his position, killing 1 and wounding 3 in the 141st. Maj. Spaulding received a slight wound, and Lieut .- Col. Wat- kins' horse was killed just as he was putting his foot in the stirrup to mount him. Early on the morning of May 2, the corps moved to the front, the brigade holding the ex- treme right of the line and joining the left of the 12th Corps. Birney and Whipple's divisions advanced in the afternoon and drove back the enemy's skirmishers and took some prisoners, but just before dark a terrible musketry fire opened to the right and rear of the advancing divisions. Jackson had borne down upon the 11th Corps unexpect- edly, and rolled it up like a scroll, crushing it wherever the most feeble resistance was offered. The two divisions of Birney and Whipple were in a critical position, but dark- ness favoring, they brushed quietly past the enemy undis- covered. The regiment was finally halted in an open field and detailed for picket-duty. Capt. Tyler gives the follow- ing account of that night's experience in a letter : " We picketed on low ground between the two armies, which were within musket range of each other. Suddenly the air was rent with cheers as Ward's brigade charged down the Gordonsville plank-road, driving the enemy from a portion of his line. The crash of musketry and the screech of flying shot and shells made the night hideous. We were between two fires. Shells with their burning fuses streamed in every direction over our heads. Occasionally one would burst in its fiery course, and the sharp whiz and thud of the pieces as they struek the ground in our midst reminded us of our mortality, and gave us a foretaste of the struggle to begin with the dawn of the morrow."


The brigade was attacked at daylight of the 3d, when in column of regiments and unprepared for the shock, and retired somewhat confusedly. It was, however, rapidly re- formed in the rear of the Chancellor House, and delivered a counter-charge upon the enemy, who was following closely, as he was crossing an open field towards a wood, and a fierce struggle ensued. The regiment's conduct here was most heroic ; it drove the enemy from its front and held him in check until nearly surrounded, when it retired in good order, repeatedly rallying, and pouring destructive volleys into the faces of the sharply-pursuing foe. The entire 3d Corps fought with great persistence and bravery, and suffered severely. The most determined assaults were repelled by it as it slowly retired behind a second line against which the enemy threw his heavy columns in vain, being repulsed with awful slaughter. The line was held until the 6th, when the whole army recrossed the river and the regiment re- turned to its former camp. Out of 419 officers and men of the regiment who entered the battle, 234 were either killed or wounded, the chief loss being sustained in the desperate charge of the 3d. Capts. Swart and Mumford and Lieut. Logan O. Tyler were among the killed. Lieut .- Col. Watkins was severely wounded and taken prisoner, and Capt. Tyler and Lieuts. Ball, Atkinson, and Hurst were wounded. Gens. Birney and Graham complimented the regiment warmly for its behavior on the 3d.

HISTORY OF BRADFORD COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.


In Col. Madill's report of this battle lie says, " Twelve officers out of 24 were killed or wounded. The officers of the regiment behaved splendidly throughout the whole time, in fact each one vied with the other to see who could best do bis duty ; and how well they did it the large list of killed and wounded but too clearly tells. Scarcely an officer in the regiment hut has a bullet-mark on his person. It is useless to try to particularize any of them, as all behaved with much spirit and bravery during the five days we were under fire. Of the bearing of the men I need scareely speak, for I saw no disposition in any man while under fire to shrink or avoid duty."


The most fearful baptism of fire and blood through which the 141st passed in its whole history, and in which the laurels it gained by brave and persistent endeavor for the cause of the Union can never fade, was at the battle of Gettysburg. The regiment started on that campaign June 11, and, with its corps, was greeted with enthusiasm by the people along its march. It reached Emmettsburg July 1, and was summoned at once to Gettysburg, where the battle had already opened, the 1st Corps being engaged. It arrived on the field soon after dark, but could light no fires for needed refreshment after a long and fatiguing march. Bates says, " At dawn the regiment was aroused and the brigade formed in line of battle, in column of regiments, doubled on the eentre. The 63d was deployed, and moved to the front, where it soon commenced skirmishing. The rest of the brigade maintained its position until afternoon, when it moved out to take position on the Emmettsburg pike, to the right of the peach-orchard. Just as the brigade was deploying the enemy opened with artillery, raking this position of the field with a converging fire. The 141st was temporarily detached from the main line of the brigade, which faced to the west, and was placed in support of bat- teries occupying the peach-orchard, and facing south. The angle formed in Sickles' line at this point was the most ex- posed part of the whole field, and as the enemy was pre- paring to make his grand assault of the day, to break and crush the Union lines, he concentrated upon it the most ter- rific artillery fire. Fortunately, the regiment occupied a cut in the road leading out to Round Top, and was in a measure shielded from this fire, or it would have been completely annihilated. For two hours it held this exposed situa- tion, while shot and shell screamed and whistled about it. At length the enemy's infantry charged in heavy force along his whole line. Already had his lines reached the fence which skirted the orchard on the south, counting on the capture of the Union guns, when the regiment, which had lain concealed from view, leaped the wall and dashed forward upon the foe. Bewildered by its sudden appear- ance and firm front, his forces gave ground, and the regi- ment held its advanced position until the guns could be dragged away by hand to a place of safety, the horses having all been killed. By this time the whole division had become engaged, and the guns being out of the way, the regiment moved to the right and front in order to join the brigade line, and soon connected with the 105th. The enemy's attack was now renewed with overwhelming force, and the Union lines were forced to give way. Though fearfully torn, the regiment preserved a bold front, and again and


again rallied and turned upon the enemy, and when met by the 5th Corps, sent to its relief, was still defiant."


Col. Madill in his report says, " I took 200 men and 9 officers into the fight, and lost 145 men and 6 commissioned officers killed and wounded; the largest proportionate loss in the corps in the fight, and, I think, in the army, in this or any other battle. The officers and men are entitled to great credit for their conduct, not one of them failing me under the most trying circumstances. To my officers I am under great obligations for their coolness and efficiency." Capt. Horton says, " It was at the peach-orchard, while fearlessly exposing himself, that we lost the brave Maj. Spaulding, beloved by the whole regiment." " Capts. Tyler, Clark, and Mercur, and Lieut. Brown were all wounded," says Col. Madill. " They behaved with great gallantry, ex- posing themselves wherever duty ealled. Capt. Horton, though severely stunned by the concussion of a shell, re- mained on the field, and I am greatly indebted to him, as he was the only captain left with the regiment." It was held in reserve during the 3d, but suffered some loss during the terrific artillery fire which preceded the last grand charge of the enemy.


The regiment was engaged at Kelly's Ford, Locust Grove, and Mine Run in the fall campaign, and lost a number of men in the latter fight, Lieut. James Van Auken being killed. Its winter quarters were near Brandy Station, and during the winter a large number of the sick and wounded returned to duty. Capt. Caspar W. Tyler was promoted to major. Lieut .- Col. Watkins was still disabled by wounds received at Chancellorsville, and was appointed by the president a paymaster in the army and his appointment promptly confirmed by the senate, but he preferred to remain with his regiment, and therefore de- clined the honorable appointment, and afterwards died, amid the roar and tumult of battle, at the head of his command.


The ranks of the regiment were also strengthened during the winter by the transfer thereto of men from the 105th, 99th, and 110th Pennsylvania Regiments.


The regiment entered the spring campaign of 1864 against Richmond, on May 3, as part of the 4th Division of the 2d Corps, the 3d Corps having been broken up and its men assigned to other corps. It crossed the Rapidan at six o'clock on May 4, and bivonacked for the night on its old battle-ground at Chaneellorsville. It skirmished slightly with the enemy's cavalry at Todd's Tavern, the next morn- ing, and at four o'clock P.M. of the same day counter- marehed hastily along the Broek road to its intersection with the plank road, where it immediately formed line of battle and engaged the enemy, who was striving to get pos- session of these roads. The battle raged till dark, but the advance of the enemy was checked. At daylight the brigade advanced, and, with the regiment, in turn charged, and ear- ried a line of the enemy's breastworks which he had thrown up during the previous nights. The regiment took in this charge about 50 prisoners and the colors of the 13th North Carolina Regt. The Union line was, however, finally forced back to the Brock road, where it repulsed, with great slaugh- ter, a desperate assault of the enemy.


A more desperate struggle was renewed at Po river with

the enemy, and on the 12th the 2d Corps carried a part of the enemy's works reaching out to the Ny river, making large captures of men and material. The desperate efforts of the enemy to regain his lost ground were most bloodily repulsed. In front of the position occupied by the 141st the large tree stood which was entirely cut off by bullets, which is preserved, as a memorial of the war, at Wash- ington. The enemy were slain by hundreds around this tree. The regiment lost from the 5th to the 18th 9 killed, 98 wounded, and 29 missing.


On May 23, in the afternoon, at the North Anna, the regiment deployed as skirmishers before a redan on the north bank of the river, and charged close up to the works, and just before dark the entire brigade charged and carried the rifle-pits on either flank of the redan, and the colors of the 141st were the first to be planted on the hostile works. The fighting was renewed at Cold Harbor, and at close quarters, a short interval only separating the hostile lines. Grant again moved to the left, leaving the direct road to Richmond, and the regiment crossed the James on the 14th of June, and with the corps moved up towards Petersburg. It participated in the general movement on the rebel works June 18, and in the heat of the charge Lieut .- Col. Wat- kins, while leading his men, sank to the earth killed by the bullets of the enemy. Lieut. Jones, serving on the brigade staff, was wounded in the breast, his life being fortunately and somewhat singularly preserved by a small memorandum- book which he carried in his breast-poeket. A Minie- ball was found completely buried in the book. Besides these officers, there were also nine men wounded.


Maj. Tyler took command of the regiment, and was soon after promoted to the lieutenant-eoloneley, and Capt. Horton as major. The regiment, on July 1, numbered but 170, and but 7 officers were left of the original 39. One of its officers wrote, about this time, "The old division is now principally in heaven and in hospitals;" and he might have added, truthfully, " the balance is on its way there."


At Deep Bottom the regiment was engaged on July 26, but returned to be present at the springing of the mine. From this time up to the middle of December the 141st was actively engaged in the various movements about the lines of Petersburg and the railroads leading therefrom, and shared fully in the hardships and severe fighting entailed thereby. During the winter it was posted at the front, near Fort Hell, and was engaged in fatigue and picket duty.


After the engagement at Yellow House, Lieut .- Col. Tyler, in a letter to the Towanda Reporter, gave a history of the regiment, in which he summarized the engagements and losses of the same up to that time. There had been sixteen engagements, counting the three days at Chancel- lorsville and the continued battles at Spottsylvania and before Petersburg one,-whereas they would more justly be counted as a dozen different engagements. They were Fredericks- burg, Chaneellorsville, Gettysburg, Auburn, Kelly's Ford, Morris Farm, Mine Run, Battles of the Wilderness, Spotts- sylvania, North Anna, Tolopotomy, Cold Harbor, before Pe- tersburg, Deep Bottom, and Yellow House. In these engage- ments 600 men had been killed, wounded, and found miss- ing ; 5 commissioned officers were killed, 21 wounded, and 1, missing, was then a prisoner in Richmond; 79 enlisted


men were killed, 448 wounded, and 46 were reported miss- ing. Beside the killed, 50 men had died of wounds re- ceived in action. At the date of the letter, the regiment ' had present, fit for duty, 14 commissioned officers and 184 enlisted men ; its total strength, present and absent, being 413.


On February 29, 1865, Lieut .- Col. Tyler was honorably discharged, and Major Horton succeeded to the command, Captain Charles Mercur being promoted to major. The spring campaign opened on March 27, the regiment going into action with the division, and driving the enemy's skirmishers into his main works. It was again at the fore April 6, winning new laurels at the hotly-contested battle of Sailor's Creek. When the rebel army surrendered on the 9th, the 141st lay aeross its line of retreat, ready to strike again, if need be. It retired to Clover Hill at night, rested there till the 11th, and then commenced its march for Washington, where it went into camp. On the 28th of May, the recruits whose term of service had not expired were transferred to the 57th Regiment, and the remainder of the 141st were mustered out of service, " covered with glory as with a garment."
