On the 17th of June, Colonel Thomas' Brigade crossed the river, and ad- vanced to Falling Waters in pursuit of the enemy, Cadwalader's entire Divi- sion being ordered to follow. At this juncture the regular cavalry and all the artillery, together with Colonel Thomas, were, by the command of General Scott,* ordered away, and re-crossed the river, leaving the three regiments and City Troop under command of Colonel Dare, with orders to follow the next day. At daylight the retreat commenced, with a large body of rebel cav- alry hanging on the flanks and rear, but re-crossed the river without an en- gagement, and encamped on the old ground at Williamsport. Two days later, the cavalry and artillery which had been ordered away returned, and Colonel Thomas again assumed command of the Brigade.
The Twenty-third remained at Williamsport until the 2d of July, when it again crossed the Potomac, with the entire army of General Patterson. Ad- vancing to Falling Waters, fire was opened upon the head of the column by a body of rebels concealed in a wheat field and wood. During the skirmish which ensued, the Twenty-third supported Captain Perkins' battery, and although some few were killed and wounded in other regiments, it had no casualities .- Advancing on the following day to Martinsburg, four companies were selected for provost duty, Major Spear, by order of Colonel Thomas, assuming com- mand in the town. On the 4th of July, at twelve o'clock M., the troops of the Brigade were drawn up on dress parade, while Captain Perkins' battery fired a salute, the regimental bands playing National airs.
The column again advanced to Bunker Hill, where the Twenty-third was sent out on three occasions, in conjunction with the cavalry, for reconnoissances. On the 17th of June, the entire column moved to Charlestown, and encamped around the town, when the provost guard was again taken from the Twenty- third. Its term of service having expired, it was ordered to Philadelphia, where it arrived on the 29th of July, and on the 31st was mustered out of service.
* TELEGRAMS FROM GENERAL SCOTT TO GENERAL PATTERSON. WASHINGTON, June 16, 1861. To Major General PATTERSON : The regulars with you are most needed here ; send them and the Rhode Island regiment (Colonel Burnside) as fast as disengaged.
WINFIELD SCOTT.
WASHINGTON, June 17, 1861. To Major General PATTERSON : We are pressed here. Send the troops I have twice called for without delay.
WINFIELD SCOTT.
Testimony of General Cadwalader before the Congressional Committee on Conduct of War .- My division, as a part of General Patterson's column, was in the advance. I crossed the Poto- mac from Williamsport, and when Johnston retreated, as we advanced upon Harper's Ferry, we went down as far as Falling Waters, on the Virginia side. I was there met by an order to send to Washington all my regular troops-they were all under my command. * * * Gen- eral Patterson was compelled, or rather induced, to give me the order to fall back.
THREE MONTHS' SERVICE.
The discipline and soldierly conduct of the regiment throughout its entire term was excellent, receiving the commendation of the commanding General. Nearly the entire regiment re-enlisted for three years, and was permitted to re- tain its old number, the Twenty-third Pennsylvania volunteers.

TWENTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.
ITWIE Twenty-fourth regiment was principally recruited in Philadelphia, the nucleus of its organization being the Second Regiment, 2d Brigade, 1st Division of Pennsylvania militia, existing under the act of 1858. One company was recruited in Wilmington, Delaware, by Captain Thomas A. Smyth, afterwards Colonel of the Second Delaware regiment, promoted to Brevet-Ma- jor General of volunteers, and killed in the engagement at Appomattox Court House, the last battle of the war. Recruiting commenced on the 23d of April, and was prosecuted with vigor by the company officers, in which they were greatly aided by the indefatigable exertions of Major Dennis O'Kane. It was completed, and the men were mustered into the service of the United States on the 7th of May, by Captain Thomas Neill, of the regular army. They were principally of Irish birth or descent. The regiment was organized by the choice of the following officers : Joshua T. Owen, Colonel; Dennis Heenan, Lieuten- ant Colonel; Dennis O'Kane, Major. With the exception of the latter, who had held the position of Major under the old militia organization, they were new officers. John Devereux, Jr., was appointed Adjutant.
The first camp of rendezvous was at Hestonville, near the city of Philadel- phia, where the men were engaged in the various duties of the camp, and in squad and company drill. Subsequently, the command was removed to Suffolk Park, where instruction was continued. The regiment received frequent and substantial tokens of kindness from the citizens of Philadelphia, comprising liberal supplies of woollen stockings and underclothing, which contributed not a little to the health and comfort of the men in their subsequent exposures in a changeable climate, making their first campaign.
Early in June, the regiment broke camp at Suffolk Park, and moved to Chambersburg, where it was stationed a short distance from the town .- On the 21st of June, it marched to Hagerstown, and from thence, on the fol- lowing day, to Camp Porter, where it was assigned to the 5th Brigade* of the 2d Division. The counter-march of Cadwalader's Division, on the 17th of June, had the effect to draw the enemy in considerable force towards the Potomac. Colonel (Stonewall) Jackson, with a Brigade, occupied the valley, with reserves distributed along all the approaches. Reinforcements from the army under Beauregard had been sent to Winchester with a well appointed train of artil- lery, for the purpose of holding the place,t and making it secure against any
