EIGHTY-NINTH REGIMENT, EIGHTH CAVALRY.
THIS Regiment, originally intended as a rifle regiment, subsequently changed to cavalry, was principally recruited in Philadelphia, and in the counties of Lycoming, Bucks, and Schuylkill. The camp of rendezvous was at Nicetown, Philadelphia, where the first company, under Captain Arrow- smith, was mustered in on the 23d of July, 1861. By the 17th of September, the companies for the entire regiment were full, and the organization was com- pleted by the muster in of the following field officers: Ernest G. Chorman, Colonel; Amos E. Griffiths, Lieutenant Colonel; Albert J. Enos, Major.
On the 4th of October the regiment was ordered to Washington, and went into camp at Camp Stoneman, on Meridian Hill, but soon after removed to Camp Leslie, on Arlington Heights, near Fort Corcoran. Here the drill, and camp and garrison duty which had been commenced at Camp Stoneman, was assiduously prosecuted. It was assigned to the command of General Fitz John Porter, and was brigaded with the Third Pennsylvania Cavalry under Colonel Averell. In addition to drill and camp duty, it was employed during the winter on scout and picket in the vicinity of Freedom Hill, Vienna, and Fairfax Court House. Early in January, 1862, the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Colonel Chorman was filled by the appointment of Captain David M'M. Gregg, of the Sixth United States Cavalry, a graduate of West Point. New and complete camp and garrison equipage with a full outfit of arms and accoutrements were obtained, strict compliance with army regulations was enforced, schools for theoretical instruction in tactics were established for offi- cers, and non-commissioned officers, and both these classes were daily drilled + in the school of the trooper and squadron.
Early in March, it having been reported that the enemy had evacuated his · works, the Eighth and Third regiments were sent in advance of the army, as it moved, to verify the rumor, and to discover his disposition. They reached Manassas late at night, only in time to behold the burning of his deserted camps. They were immediately ordered to return and resume their former positions. The First Regular Cavalry was added to the brigade, and during the first week in April was moved in detachments, by transports, to Fortress Monroe. It remained in camp near Hampton until the evacuation of York- town, when it moved forward with the army, attached to the Fourth Corps, commanded by General Keyes. It first met the enemy at New Kent Court House, where it skirmished lightly. A few days later it participated in a re- connoissance by a force of infantry, artillery, and cavalry under command of Colonel Gregg, to Bottom's Bridge, on the Chickahominy, and Savage Station, and subsequently in a movement to the latter place, by troops under General Naglee. Soon afterwards a severe skirmish occurred near Garnett's House, in

front of the Union lines, which resulted in some loss to the Eighth, its first casualties. It was present at the battle of Fair Oaks, but the ground being unfavorable for manœuvring cavalry, only detachments were engaged. After the battle of Gaines' Mill it was employed along the line of the Chickahominy, while the army was starting on the march to the James, and in the destruction of Bottom's and Long bridges. It re-joined the column at White Oak Swamp, and in the battle of Malvern Hill portions of the command were actively en- gaged. During the campaign company D was detached for duty at the head- quarters of General Philip St. George Cooke, commanding the cavalry; com- pany A to General Porter's headquarters; and company B as escort to General M'Clellan, at Malvern Hill. Upon the arrival of the army at Harrison's Land- ing, Colonel Gregg was assigned to the command of a cavalry brigade of which the Eighth formed part, and was employed in heavy picket duty involving some casualties. The regiment marched with General Pleasanton's Brigade from Harrison's Landing to Yorktown, acting as rear guard, and thence re- turned to Alexandria, arriving on the 2d of September, but not until the sec- ond battle of Bull Run was ended.
On the 4th the regiment was sent on a reconnoissance to Freedom Hill, meeting Stuart's Cavalry, and having a sharp skirmish, and upon being or- dered to retire was followed as far as Fort Upton. The same night it crossed the Potomac and moved up to Poolesville, where it came upon the enemy, and skirmished sharply at Sugar Loaf Mountain and at Darnestown. On the 12th it entered Frederick, driving out the rear guard of the enemy's cavalry, and capturing twenty prisoners. On the 13th it was ordered on a reconnoissance to Gettysburg, falling in with, and capturing about fifty rebel cavalry pickets on the march. From Gettysburg it marched to the battle-field of Antietam, operating upon the right of the Sharpsburg Pike, with small loss, on the day following the general engagement. After the battle the regiment was encamped at Sharpsburg, whence frequent scouts were made across the Potomac, extend- ing to Shepherdstown and Martinsburg, having a warm encounter at Charles- town on the 29th.
On the 26th of October Pleasanton's Brigade, composed of the Eighth Pennsylvania, Eighth Illinois, Eighth New York, and Sixth United States cavalry regiments, crossed the Potomac, leading the army in its movements into Virginia, and encountered the enemy at Philomont on the 1st of Novem- ber, where it was warmly engaged during the entire day, the Eighth losing ten killed and about twenty wounded, Lieutenant J. Edward Carpenter being among the latter. The engagement was renewed on the following day, and the enemy driven. Subsequently he was met successively at Upperville, Aldie, Barbour's Cross Roads, Ashby's Gap, Chester Gap, Orleans, Amissville, and Hazel River, the regiment sustaining heavy losses. It then fell back to Morrisville, and was employed in picketing Kelly's, Ely's, and United States Fords, subsequently moved to Falmouth, and was thence ordered to King George Court House, on the northern neck, to picket the fords of the Rappahannock as far as Leeds. While near Leeds a squadron under Captain Wilson was surprised and cap- tured. He did not surrender without a brave resistance. He was taken to Libby Prison ; but was soon after paroled and returned to his command. On the night previous to the attack on Fredericksburg the regiment returned to the army, and during the battle, one squadron, under command of Captain M'Callum, crossed the river and was engaged in connection with Franklin's

Grand Division on the left. Upon the fall of General Bayard, Colonel Gregg was ordered to assume command of his division, and was officially notified upon the field of his promotion to Brigadier General.
The regiment under command of Lieutenant Colonel Griffith returned to picket duty in King George County after the battle. On the 25th of Decem- ber, it was relieved by the Eighth Illinois Cavalry, and proceeding to Falmouth, was employed in scout and picket duty along the line of the Rappahannock. On the 18th of February, 1863, it was ordered into winter-quarters at Acquia Landing, where it became part of Colonel Divin's Brigade of Pleasanton's Division, composed of the Eighth Pennsylvania, Sixth New York, and Seven- teenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. After the promotion of Colonel Gregg, Major Pennock Huey was commissioned Colonel, Captain Samuel Wilson, Lieutenant Colonel, and Captain Peter Keenan, Major.
