as usual. had massed his army, and advanced in great strength. Negley's Division, supported by that of Davis and St. Clair, Morton's pioneer battal- ion, was immediately sent forward to retrieve the dis- aster. A sanguinary conflict ensued, perhaps the most bitter of the whole battle. Both sides massed their batteries, and plied them with desperate energy. The infantry of either side displayed great valor, but Negley's unconquerable Eighth Division resolved to win. The fury of the conflict now threatened mn. tual annihilation, but Stanley and Miller, with their brigades, composed of the Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylva- nia, Michigan and Indiana regiments, before men- tioned, charged simultaneously, and drove the enemy rapidly before them, capturing a battery and taking the flag of the Twenty-sixth Tennessee, the Color- Ser- geant being killed with a bayonet. The banner is the trophy of the Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania. The fire of our batteries exceeded in vigor even the con- nonading of Wednesday. At about sunset. the whole rebel line receded, leaving about four hundred pris- oners in our enstody." The Seventy eighth lost in this engagement 190 men in killed and wounded. Capt. William S. Jack, commanding the Butler County company (II), was mortally wounded, and died at Nashville February 5, 1863.
Murfreesboro boing occupied by the Union forces on the oth of Jannary, the Seventy-eighth was as- signed to provost anty. The army was soon after or- ganized into three corps. viz., the Fourteenth, Twen- tieth and Twenty-first, and Gens. Thomas MeCook and Crittenden were respectively assigned to their command. By this re-organization. also, the Seven- ty-eighth Regiment was assigned to the Third Bri- gade; Col. Miller. Second Division: Gen. Negley, of the Fourteenth Corps. The regiment was relieved from provost guard duty April 20, and about the mid- dle of June Col. Miller was succeeded by Col. Sir- well as brigado commander, while Lieut. Col. Archi- bald Blakeley assumed command of the regiment.
As thus organized, the Army of the Cumberland began its summer campaign during the last days of Jne. 1863, and, proceeding slowly along the line of the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad to Stevenson. Ala., it crossed the Tennessee at that point on the night of September 1, and, passing up on the south side of the river to a point opposite Bridgeport, a course was then taken across the Sand Mountain Range, where were encountered almost insurmount- able obstacles in making the transit, the men fre- quently hanling the guns when the strength of the horses failed. Descending into Lookout Valley, the regiment. with Thomas' corps, pushed on over Look- out Mountain and Missionary Ridge into MeLamore's Cove. in the Valley of the Chickamauga. Negley's

division moving rapidly out toward La Fayette. At Dug Gap, in Pigeon Mountain, the enemy was unex. pectedly met, and the division found itself confronted by a superior force. Here a detachment of the Sev- enty-eighth, of less than a hundred men, held for more than two hours a heavy force of the enemy, baf- fling every attempt to advance. Baird's division of the Fourteenth corps finally came up and enabled the Union troops to withdraw in safety. The two divis- ions, on the night of September 11, retreated to the base of Lookout Mountain.
During the terrible battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19 and 20, 1863, the regiment. with the division, was with Thomas. The right of the Union line was broken and scattered, but Thomas' corps. though forced back from its original position, re- mained firm, and enabled the trains and artillery to fall back in safety to Chattanooga. The latter point was reached on the night of the 21st of September. and from that time until the 23d, 24th and 25th days of November following, when the battles of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge were fought, and Bragg and his rebel horde hurled from their strong- holds, the regiment. with others, was besieged in Chattanooga, subjected day and night to a fire from the enemy's heavy guns posted on Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge, and the greater part of the time supplied with only quarter rations.
On the 2d of December. 1863. the Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania and the Twenty-first Wisconsin, under command of Col. Blakeley. were assigned to duty on Lookont Mountain. As the range extended sonth and directly into the rebel lines, the position was isolated and exposed. Col. Blakeley, therefore, caused a strong line of earthworks to be thrown up across the mountain, which rendered the position easily defensible.
Col. Blakeley resigned on the Sth of April. 1864. and the command of the regiment devolved upon Col. Sirwell, who. resigning November 17. 1863, had been recommissioned March 9. 1864. During the Atlanta campaign this regiment bore well its part, participating in the engagements of Tunnel Hill, Buzzard's Roost. Resaca, Dallas, New Hope Church, and the long struggle before Kenesaw Mountain On the 21st of June, while in front of Kenesaw. it was ordered back to Chattanooga, for the purpose of guarding trains while on their way to the front. It was so employed for three months. On the 24th of September. however, it was ordered to proceed to Athens. Ala. Arrived at Decatur, its destination was changed to Nashville. From thence it was pushed forward to Pulaski, arriving in time to assist in de. feating the enemy in a minor engagement. After again visiting Nashville, Tullahoma and back to Nash-
ville, it was sent forward to Franklin, where it was mounted, and moved with the forces under Gen. Rous sean against the rebel cavalry harassing Southern Tennessee. After assisting to drive the enemy across the Tennessee River into Alabama, the regiment re- turned to Nashville, arriving on the 17th of October, six days after its three years' term of service had ex- pired. On the following day, it received orders from Gen. Thomas relieving it from duty in the Depart- ment of the Cumberland. and directing its return to Pennsylvania for muster out. It embarked immedi- ately, and moved by the Cumberland and Ohio Rivers to Pittsburgh, and thence by rail to Kittanning, where, on the 4th of November, 1861, it was mustered out of the service.
Under Lients. Forbett and Smith, the recruits and veteran volunteers of the regiment remained at Nash- ville. To these the Governor of Pennsylvania as- signed eight new companies, of which Company E. from Butler County, was one, bringing the recruited force up to the minimum regimental strength, and subsequently commissioned Maj. Bonnaffon, Colonel; Henry W. Torbett. Lieutenant Colonel, and Robert M. Smith Major. As thus organized, the new regi- Inent remained on duty at Nashville, and participated with the Army of the Cumberland under Thomas in the campaign which swept the rebel army from Ten nessee, and was finally mustered out of service Septem - ber 11, 1865. Following are the names of many officers and soldiers of this regiment who were Butler County men:

ONE HUNDREDTH REGIMENT. ( ROUND HEADS).
This command, more commonly known as the Round Head Regiment, was recruited in the south- western counties of the State, originally settled. for the most part, by descendents of the Round Heads of the English Revolution. and Scotch-Irish Seceders and Covenanters.
On the 2d of September, 1561. the regiment which had been recruited to the number of twelve compa nies, was ordered to Washington, D. C., and upon its arrival was eucamped ou Kalorama Heights. Soon after the following fieldl officers were selected : Dan- iel Leasure. Colonel; James Armstrong, Lieutenant- Colonel: and David A. Leckey. Major. On the 7th of October, it was brigaded with the Eighth Michigan and Fiftieth Pennsylvania, and a few days later the Seventy-ninth ( Highlanders), New York, was attached, with Gen. Isaac I. Stevens as brigade commander. The troops comprising this brigade formed part of an expeditionary foree Gen. W. T. Sherman'sı. de- signed for operations along the South Atlantic sea- board. and after rendezvousing at Fortress Monroe. set sail from that point on the 29th of October, 1561. Accompanied by a powerful naval feet. Forts Walker and Beauregard. near Hilton Head. were reached ou the morning of the 7th of November and captured. One month later. Beauford was occupied, and the ap proaches to Charleston threatened. Here the regi ment remained engaged in picket duty and occasional skirmishes with the enemy until June 1. 1962. when

it proceeded with a portion of Stevens' brigade to Le- gareville, and driving the enemy from is works capt- ured all his shore batteries. The regiment lost, however, in this action, twenty killed and wounded. and Capt. Cfine and fifteen men who were taken prison- ers.
Early on the morning of June 16, the Union forees on James' Island moved forward to the assault of the Tower Fort, near Secessionville, a strong earth- work held by a large force, under the rebel Col. La- mar, and commanding the approaches to Charleston by the James Island causeway. After a severe con- test, lasting nearly an hour, during which a number of the Highlander nd Round Head regiments forced their way into the fort, a retreat was ordered. The narrow strip of land over which the troops advanced. was barely sufficient to deploy one regiment, and this was swept by the guns of the fort, and from the rifle- pits and defenses in the rear. Of the 421 officers and men of the regiment who went into the fight, one officer and eight enlisted men were killed, two officers and thirty men wounded, and six missing.
