SIXTY-THIRD REGIMENT.


E ARLY in August, 1861, Alexander Hays, a citizen of Pittsburg, who had been Major of the Twelfth Regiment in the three months' service, received authority from the Secretary of War to raise a regiment for three years. Re- cruiting immediately commenced, and the ranks were rapidly filling up, when an order was received from army headquarters directing that all men who had been enlisted, whether in companies or singly, should be sent to Washington without a moment's delay. Accordingly on the 26th, two companies under command of Captains Berringer and Kirkwood, and several squads temporarily organized in two additional companies, in all about four hundred men, without arms, uniforms, or equipments, proceeded by rail to the National Capital. Re- cruiting continued at Pittsburg, and during the month of September a sufficient number of men were in camp to complete a regiment, and towards the close of the month were transferred to Washington, where they joined the battalion which had preceded them. Companies A, B, D, E, H, I and K were principally recruited in Allegheny county, company C in Beaver, F in Clarion, and G in Venango and Mercer counties. Many of the officers and men had served in the Twelfth Regiment. The following field officers were commissioned: Alexander Hays, Colonel; A. S. M. Morgan, Lieutenant Colonel ; Maurice Wallace, Major. Shortly after being commissioned, Major Wallace resigned, and William S. Kirkwood succeeded him. Colonel Hays was a graduate of West Point, and as a soldier in the Mexican War, bore the scars of wounds received at Resaca de la Palma and National Bridge.


Early in October the regiment was ordered across the Potomac and went into camp near Fort Lyon, upon the road leading from Alexandria to Mount Vernon. Soon afterits arrival it was assigned to the Third Brigade * of Heintzel- man's Division. In this camp the Sixty-third remained during the entire win- ter, engaged in drill and picket duty. As soon as it was settled, a school for officers was established under the charge of Lieutenant Colonel Morgan, which had daily sessions, and which was continued without interruption until the regiment took the field in the spring of 1862. At first the officers were drilled in the school of the soldier; then tactics were introduced. Lessons from a text- book were regularly assigned, and at recitation the black-board was freely used for illustration, and difficult points fully discussed. A deep interest was soon manifested in this school which in no manner abated until its close. The ser- geants were daily assembled and taught in the manual of arms, and in their
