FOURTEENTH MILITIA REGIMENI.
The threatened invasion of Pennsylvania by the armies of Gen. Robert E. Lec, after the second battle of Bull Run. created an emergency making neces- sary the calling into service, for such a period as might be necessary, a force of the State militia sufficient to assist the troops already in the field in repelling the invader. The response of Butler county was prompt. A company mustered into the Fourteenth Militia regiment as Company G was one of the first to report itself ready for duty. This company was organized in Butler, many of the leading citizens of the borough being enrolled as members. By reason of the large number of lawyers who joined, it was known as . The Blackstone Guards." Two Butler men were also numbered among the field and staff officer- of the regiment. These were Major Charles MeCandless and Assistant Surgeon Newton J. McCandles -.
The Fourteenth regiment was organized September 12-16, it- colonel being R B. McComb. It was immediately sent to the front to perform such service as might be demanded of it. The battle of Antietam, fought on September 16 and 17. resulting in the defeat of Lee, and his retreat into Virginia, relieved Penn- sylvania from the danger that threatened. making further service on the part of the Emergency Men unnecessary, and they were accordingly mustered out, Sep- tember 26-28. The roster of Company G is as follows :
Captain : James Gilmore Campbell.
Lieutenants : Ebenezer Me Junkin and Charles Duffy.
Sergeants: Isaac J. Cummings, John B. McQuistion, Joseph J. Elliott, Samuel Schaffner. Clark Wilson and Walter L. Graham.
Corporals : Abram McCandless. John W. Mitchell. David II. Mackey, Arnold Rosenthal. Joseph L. Purvis, Gottlieb Langbein, James 1. Shaner and William S. Ziegler.
