TWENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT.
THE Twenty-seventh Regiment, a part of the " Washington Brigade," T commanded by Colonel William F. Small, was organized as a volunteer militia regiment, early in January, 1861. Charles Angeroth was among the most active in promoting its formation. On the night of the 18th of April, Colonel Small, acting in compliance with orders from the Secretary of War, started with five companies, consisting of about five hundred men, for Wash- ington, and proceeded in company with the Sixth Massachusetts, Colonel Jones, by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, occupying seventeen passenger cars. On their arrival at the President Strect station, horses were attached to the five foremost ears, containing seven companies of the Massachusetts regiment, and were drawn rapidly through the city to the Washington depot. After the passage of these, the track was barricaded by the mob. The remaining companies of the Massachusetts regiment, being well armed, forced their way through, joined their comrades and were hurried away by rail to Washington. The mob returning commeneed an attack upon Colonel Small's command, which, being unarmed, was forced to retire, losing several killed and wounded.
After the return of the companies to Philadelphia, the regiment was re-or- ganized as light artillery, and Max Einstein was chosen Colonel, Charles Angeroth, Lieutenant Colonel, and William Schoenleber, Major. Its services were then offered to the Governor, with a view to its being mustered into the three months' service, as a part of the Pennsylvania quota, but without suc- cess. Colonel Einstein then proceeded to Washington and offered its ser- vices to the United States Government, which were accepted under the call for eighty thousand additional volunteers for a period of three years, its service to date from the 5th of May, 1861, and to be armed and instructed as light in- fantry. It was not, however, mustercd in until the 30th and 31st of May. A few days thereafter it received arms and accoutrements, and went into camp near Camden, N. J. The entire regiment was recruited in Philadelphia, in the districts of Northern Liberties and Kensington, and at least one-half of its members were German. A number of both officers and men had seen service in this country and in Europe.
On the 17th of June the regiment again received orders to proceed to Wash- ington. Arriving at the Capital on the 18th, it was placed in camp on Kala- rama heights, was subjected to strict military discipline, and was instructed in company and battalion drill, and in picket duty.
Early in July the forces assembled in and about Washington were organized under General M'Dowell, and the Twenty-seventh Regiment was assigned to

ORGANIZATION AND DRILL.
1862
Blenker's Brigade* of the Fifth Division, encamped at Hunter's creek, near Alexandria, which it was ordered to join. On the 15th the general forward movement of the army towards Centreville commenced. In the battle which ensued at Bull Run, the Fifth Division was held in reserve on the Centreville heights, and did not become actively engaged. It remained in position until past midnight of the 21st, and until all the army had retired, when it marched to Alexandria, arriving on the afternoon of the 22d, bringing in abandoned horses and baggage wagons in considerable mimbers, and one caisson.
A few days later, the Twenty-seventh moved to Arlington Heights, where it eneamped, and received pay from the date of its acceptance by the government, on the 5th of May. From Arlington it was transferred to Roach's mill, Virginia, where, early in the month of August, company F, commanded by Captain Spering, was detached and posted at the Washington arsenal, where it remained during its entire term of service. Early in September Lieutenant Colonel An- geroth and Major Shoenleber resigned, and Adolph Bushbeek and Lorenz Can- tador, both of Philadelphia, were appointed by General M'Clellan to fill the vacancies. Subsequently, upon the muster out of Colonel Einstein, these gen- tlemen were appointed respectively Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel, and Cap- tain John N. Lang, of company I, Major. In the latter part of September, by order of the War Department, company G, Captain Bierwirth, was transferred to the Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania Regiment.
During the summer months and the early fall the regiment was engaged under the direction of the engineers, in building forts, clearing woods, and making roads; Forts Scott, Cameron, Bienker, and Barnard-elaborate and substantial structures-attesting the devotion and patriotism of the men of the Twenty-seventh, not less than the stern bravery which they afterwards exhib- ited on the battle-field.
On the Sth of October it was ordered to Hunter's chapel, Virginia, where it went into winter quarters. While off fatigue duty it was instructed in bri- gade and battalion drill, and for two months was engaged in out-post duty at Annandale. An attack was here made upon the pickets by rebel cavalry and artillery, but, finding the men on the alert, they withdrew to a distance and contented themselves with shelling the Union line. In the month of December, 1861, the officers received their commissions from the Governor of Pennsylvania, bearing date of the 5th May, preceding, and in February, 1862, the regiment was provided with the State colors. In the organization of the army under M'Clellan, the Twenty-seventh was assigned to Stahel's Brigade,t Blenker's Division, Sumner's Corps.
On the 10th of March, 1862, orders were received to march with three days' rations, leaving knapsacks, tents, and all surplus baggage in camp, and taking only overcoats and blankets. Advancing through Fairfax to Centreville, the regiment was ordered to halt, while the remainder of the corps proceeded in the .

direction of Manassas. After a delay of some two weeks, it re-joined the com- mand at Salem, Virginia. Here the men suffered much from the effects of the severe weather, a snow storm prevailing, which lasted three days, the men being without shelter, and obliged to encamp in the open field.
Blenker's Division, having been transferred from the army of the Potomac to Fremont's command, in the mountain department, marched to Paris' ferry on the Shenandoah river, with the design of joining it. The rebels had destroyed the ferry, and a considerable delay ensued, during which the troops suffered greatly for want of food. The supply train had been ordered forward, but was unable to find the division, and had returned to Washington, leaving the com- mand to eke out a scanty subsistance by foraging. Rafts were constructed for the purpose of crossing; but the sinking of the first that was freighted, and the drowning of eighty men of the Seventy-fourth Pennsylvania, caused the design of crossing upon rafts to be abandoned. The command then moved down to Snicker's ferry, where it passed over in safety, and proceeding ria Ber- ryville, went into camp at Wood's mills, in the neighborhood of Winchester, where it rested for a few days, and the regiment received two months' pay. Advancing through Winchester, it crossed the mountains, and halted for two days at Romney, where the men received new clothing. Resuming the march, the division passed through Petersburg and joined Fremont's army at Franklin. With the exception of fresh beef, provisions were scarce, and salt was not to be had. But one and a half days' rations of bread were issued in ten days.
