The regiment remained at Nashville, engaged in provost guard duty, until the 12th of December, when with the army it moved to Camp Hamilton, six miles south of the city. Here Miller's Brigade was assigned to the Eighth Division, commanded by General Negley. Ou the 26th the army entered upon an offensive campaign and came up with the rebel army, under Bragg, at Stone River. The rebel force was drawn up a short distance out of Murfreesboro, in a lunar shaped line, covering all the approaches to the town from the north, the

right resting across Stone River. Finding that Bragg was disposed to give battle, Rosecrans pushed forward his columns, and on the morning of the 31st had his forces in hand, ready for the onset, M'Cook, with the divisions of John- son, Jeff. C. Davis, and Sheridan on his right, reaching out to, and covering the Franklin Pike, Thomas, with the divisions of Negley and Rousseau, in the centre, and Crittenden, with Palmer, Wood, and Van Cleve on the left, resting on the river. At sunrise Rosecrans had thought to cross the stream, and strike heavily the rebel right, but at that hour the rebel chieftain attacked the Union right. Trusting that M'Cook could hold him in check, and not re- alizing that the attack was a determined one, and in concentrated force, Rose- crans was still intent upon carrying out his original plan of battle. But events soon convinced him that the attack on his right was in earnest. Bragg had massed his troops, and was making a desperate assault. Too weak to with- stand the shock, Johnson, Davis, and Sheridan were, in turn, forced to give way, losing largely in artillery. Negley stood next. The fighting on his front had already become desperate. "Pushing ont," says an eye witness, "to the cedar forest, where Negley's gallant division was struggling against great odds, trusty Sheridan was met, bringing out his tried division in superb order. Neg- ley was still fighting, desperately, against odds. During all this period Negley's two gallant brigades, under valiant old Stanley, and brave John F. Miller, were holding their line against fearful odds. When the right broke, Negley had pushed in ahead of the right wing, and was driving the enemy. The Seventy- eighth Pennsylvania, Thirty-seventh Indiana, Twenty-first, Seventy-fourth, Eighteenth, and Sixty-ninth Ohio, the famous Nineteenth Illinois, and Eleventh Michigan, with Knell's, Marshall's, Shultz's, and Bush's batteries, sustained one of the fiercest assaults of the day, and the enemy was dreadfully punished."* At nightfall the right and centre had been driven back, but the army still occupied a good defensive position. Bragg sent off to the rebel capital glowing bulletins of his victory, supposing that Rosecrans was so utterly broken that he would take to flight under cover of the darkness. In the morning, however, to his astonishment, he found Rosecrans still stubbornly holding his ground, and ready for battle. It was New Year's day, 1863, and neither party seemed disposed to strike. Rosecrans, still intent on his original plan, threw a portion of his troops to the right bank of the river for the purpose of turning the enc- my's right, and reaching Murfreesboro in his rear. "Sharp demonstrations were made along the whole line, but nothing decisive was attempted until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the rebels suddenly burst upon Battery Six, (late Van Cleve's,) in small divisions, on the other side of Stone River, and drove it pell-mell, with considerable loss, to this side. The enemy, 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 battalion, was immediately sent forward to retrieve the disaster. 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 mutual annihilation, but Stanley and Miller, with the Nineteenth Illinois, Eighteenth, Twenty-first, and Seventy-fourth Ohio, Sev- enty-eighth Pennsylvania, Eleventh Michigan and Thirty-seventh Indiana

charged simultaneously, and drove the enemy rapidly before them, capturing a battery, and taking the flag of the Twenty-sixth Tennessee, the color sergeant being killed with a bayonet. The banner is the trophy of the Seventy-cighth Pennsylvania. The fire of our batteries exceeded in vigor even the cannon- ading of Wednesday. At about sunset the whole rebel line receded, leaving about four hundred prisoners in our custody."* The Seventy-eighth lost, in this engagement, one hundred and ninety men in killed and wounded. Capta'n William S. Jack was mortally wounded, and Lieutenant Matthew J. Halsted among the killed.

After the occupation of Murfreesboro, which occurred on the 5th, the regi- ment was assigned to provost guard duty, the victorious army encamping around about the town. The army was here organized in three corps, the Fourteenth commanded by General Thomas, the Twentieth by General M'Cook, and the Twenty-first by General Crittenden. The Seventy-eighth was assigned to the Third Brigade, Colonel Miller, Second Division, General Negley, Four- teenth Corps. On the 20th of April the regiment was relieved from provost guard duty, and joining the brigade set vigorously at work preparing for an active campaign. About the middle of June, Colonel Miller was relieved of the command of the brigade for other duty, and Colonel Sirwell succeeded him, Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Blakeley taking command of the regiment.

On the 24th of June the summer campaign opened, the Army of the Cum- berland moving upon the rebel intrenched position at Tullahoma. In the ma- nœuvres, by which the enemy was turned out of his stronghold, and forced to retreat across the Cumberland Mountains and the Tennessee River, the regi- ment participated, but without serious loss. On the Sth of July the regiment, with the balance of the corps, went into camp at Dechard, where the troops were engaged in general field and camp duty, and organizing and drilling for the fall campaign. Bragg was well seated in his chosen position at Chatta- nooga, protected by the mountain fastnesses, and in apparent security from attack. On the 15th of August Rosecrans broke camp, and set forward in search of the rebel army. He was under the impression that the rebel leader was averse to fighting, and only intent upon covering Rome and Atlanta. That he might cut off Bragg's way of retreat, and bring him to bay, he resolved to cross the Tennessee, and strike boldly out over the mountains to Lafayette. Following, for the most part, the line of the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail- road, the regiment moved with the army, crossed the Tennessee River, on the night of the 1st of September, at Stevenson, Alabama, passed up the south side of the river to a point opposite Bridgeport, and thence across the Sand Mountain range, where were encountered almost insurmountable difficulties in making the transit, the men tugging at the guns when the strength of the beasts failed. In passing to the eastern slope the column encountered an impassable gorge, a hundred feet wide and fifty deep. Company C, of the Seventy- eighth, under command of Lieutenant Brinker, was ordered forward to bridge it. and by morning had the work completed, over which the whole army passed. Descending into Lookout Valley, the regiment was ordered to take possession of a mill on the way, and while a portion of the command was riding hither and thither in the valley, gathering in grain, the remainder was grinding and delivering it to the passing army. With Thomas' Corps it took the van, and

pushed on over Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge into M'Lamore's Cove, in the valley of the Chickamauga, Negley's Division moving rapidly out towards Lafayette. At Dug Gap, in Pigeon Mountain, the range which shuts in the Chickamauga Valley on the east and separates it from the valley of the Pea- vine, the enemy was unexpectedly met, and the division soon found itself con- fronted by an overpowering force. The dispositions were quickly made to check his advance. A detachment of the Seventy-eighth, of less than a hun- dred men, held, for over two hours, a massed force of the enemy, successfully baffling every attempt to advance. Baird's Division finally came up, and enabled it to withdraw in safety. During the night of September 11th the two divisions retreated to the base of Lookout Mountain. The loss here was four, killed and wounded.

It was now apparent to Rosecrans, that Bragg, instead of being intent upon retreating, was determined to fight, and the unwelcome intelligence was borne to him that his adversary had been reinforced by Walker, from Mississippi, Buckner, from East Tennessee, and a powerful veteran corps under Longstreet from the Army of Virginia. Quickly summoning in his scattered forces, he prepared for the worst. The chief danger now was that Bragg would inter- pose, and cut off the way to Chattanooga. The general movement was ac- cordingly to the left, while a bold front was kept towards the Chickamauga. Until the morning of the 17th the regiment remained at the foot of the moun- tain, when the corps of M'Cook having crossed the Lookout and Mission Range, it moved up towards Rossville some six miles, and on the 18th was deployed along the Chickamauga River, to prevent the crossing of the enemy to intercept the movement of M'Cook to connect with Thomas. The night was fearfully cold, and the movements were made in the darkness, through an almost impenetrable jungle. Heavy firing on the morning of the 19th far to the left, showed that the enemy had crossed the stream in force, and was struggling with Thomas for the possession of the Rossville Road. In the afternoon the regiment was withdrawn, and passing Crawfish Spring, and in rear of General Jeff. C. Davis' Division, which was hotly engaged, was pushed to the front, and, after a sharp skirmish, held the ground until dark. The men lay upon their arms on the field where they had fought, and early on the morn- ing of the 20th the fight was renewed. Through the entire day the battle raged with unceasing violence, the combatants manifesting a desperation rarely paralleled. The right of the Union line was broken and driven in confusion. But the left, where Thomas stood, though forced back from its original position, remained firm. The division fell back to a position assigned to it at Rossville Gap, where it remained until the night of the 21st, when the whole army re- tired to Chattanooga. On the following morning a battle line was formed in front of the town, and the day was spent in momentary expectation of an at- tack. For several days succeeding the men worked day and night on the forti- fications. The enemy contented himself with closely investing the town.

On the 10th of October the farewell order of General Negley, to his divi- sion, was received, and the regiment was soon after transferred to the Third Brigade, General Stark weather, of the First Division, General, Richard M. John- son, of the Fourteenth Corps, General John M. Palmer. The brigade was com- posed of the Seventy-eighth and Seventy-ninth Pennsylvania, Twenty-first and Seventy-fourth Ohio, the First and Twenty-first Wisconsin, Thirty-seventh In- diana, and the Twenty-fourth Illinois. Colonel Sirwell resigned on the 17th of

November, and was succeeded by Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Blakeley. From the 22d of October until the 23d of November the Army of the Cumber- land was closely besieged. Day and night, shot and shell were plunged into the camp from all the prominent positions on Lookout Mountain and Mission Ridge, the troops, the greater part of the time, in a state of semi-starvation.

In the meantime General Rosecrans had been snperseded by General Grant, and reinforcements and supplies began to arrive. On the 23d, 24th, and 25th days of November, were fought the decisive battles of Lookout Mountain, and Mission Ridge, which swept Bragg from all his strongholds, environing the town, and gave his columns to precipitate retreat. In the contest in front of Mission Ridge the Seventy-eighth participated, but without serious loss.

On the 29th the brigade was sent on a reconnoissance to the summit of . Lookout Mountain. Ascending by the Summertown Road, it proceeded as far south as Johnston's Crook, whence it returned to Summertown, arriving on the 2d of December. The Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania, and the Twenty-first Wisconsin, under command of Colonel Blakeley, were assigned to duty on this, now historic mountain, the field of the famous Battle above the Clouds. As the range extends south, and directly into the rebel lines, the position was iso- lated and exposed. Colonel Blakeley immediately surveyed, and laid out a line of earthworks, across the mountain, which was rapidly thrown up and rendered the position easily defensible. Supplies had to be brought up the mountain, by the one narrow winding road, upon mules scarcely able to walk. Notwithstanding the scarcity of provisions, and the heavy details for picket and fatigue duty, the men bore all cheerfully, and performed every duty with alacrity.

On the Sth of April, 1864, Colonel Blakeley resigned, and the command devolved on Colonel Sirwell, who had been re-commissioned, and was now re- mustered. At the opening of May the regiment broke camp on the mountain, and re-joined the brigade at Graysville. In the hard fighting of the campaign which ensued, the Seventy-eighth bore well its part, participating in the en- gagements at Tunnel Hill, and Buzzard Roost Gap, on the 7th of May, at Re- saca, on the 14th, at Dallas, on the. 17th, at New Hope Church, on the 1st of June, and in the protracted struggle before Kenesaw Mountain. While yet in front of Kenesaw, the regiment received orders on the 21st of June to pro- ceed to Chattanooga, for the purpose of guarding trains while on their way to the front. For three months it was thus employed, at the expiration of which, it was ordered to Tullahoma, and was assigned to the Fourth Division of the Twentieth Corps. But on the 24th of September, when on the eve of moving, the order was countermanded, and one was received directing it to move to Athens, Alabama. Arrived at Decatur, its destination was again changed, and it was now directed to report, without delay, to General Roussean, at Nashville. Upon its arrival it was pushed forward to Pulaski, arriving there at noon of the 27th, and in time to participate in an action which defeated the enemy who had assumed a bold front, and was threatening the place. On the 29th it returned by rail to Nashville, and was immediately ordered to Tulla- homa, which was now threatened by the enemy, arriving the same night. Re- mainiug but for a day, it returned to Nashville, and was again sent south as far as Franklin, where it was mounted, and moved with the force under General Rousseau, against the rebel cavalry harrassing southern Tennessee. . The enemy fled before him, and was driven across the Tennessee River into Ala-

bama. The regiment returned to Nashville, arriving on the 17th of October, six days after its term of service had expired. On the following day it re- ceived orders from Major General Thomas, relieving it from duty in the De- partment of the Cumberland, and directing its return to Pennsylvania, for muster out. It embarked immediately, and moved, by the Cumberland and Ohio Rivers, to Pittsburg, and thence by rail to Kittanning, where on the 4th of November it was mustered out of service.

The recruits and veteran volunteers remained at Nashville, under command of Lieutenants Torbett and Smith. To these, the Governor of Pennsylvania assigned eight new companies, bringing the recruited force np to the minimum regimental strength, and subsequently commissioned Major Bonnaffon Colonel, Henry W. Torbett Lieutenant Colonel, and Robert M. Smith Major. The new regiment, as thus organized, remained on duty at Nashville, and participated with the Army of the Cumberland under Thomas in that brilliant campaign near the close of the year, 1864, which swept the rebel army from Tennessee, and was finally mustered out of service on the 11th of September, 1865.
