ONE HUNDRED AND FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
0 N the 17th of August, 1861, a company recruited in the city of Phila- delphia, known as the Zouaves D' Afrique, under the direction of Charles H. T. Collis, who had served in the Eighteenth Regiment for the Three Months' Campaign, was mustered into the United States Service. It had been raised at the instance of Major General Banks, who succeeded General Patterson in command of the forces on the upper Potomac, and was intended for his body- guard. It was composed of a fine body of men, most of whom had seen service in European armies, or in militia companies of the city. The officers were, Charles H. T. Collis, Captain, S. A. Barthoulot, First Lieutenant, and George Heimach, Second Lieutenant. Immediately after being mustered, it was ordered to Fort Delaware for garrison duty, and to prepare for active duty in the field. The uniform was that of the French Zouave D' Afrique, the material for which was purchased from the French Government.
After spending a month in drill and exercise at the Fort, it was ordered to report to General Banks, and visited Philadelphia on the way, where, on the 24th of September, a public exhibition of its drill was given at the Academy of Music, and was enthusiastically received, its fine military bearing being warmly praised. On the following day, the company proceeded by rail to Frederick, Maryland, and thence marched to Darnestown, a distance of thirty- four miles in thirteen hours. At a review of Banks' Division, on the 1st of October, it was assigned the right of the line, and was publicly complimented for its soldierly bearing by General Banks. In the action at Ball's Bluff, on the 21st, the company moved to Edwards' Ferry, to the support of General Stone, but was not called into action. On the 26th, it was sent to Muddy Branch, and on the 2d of December went into winter-quarters at Frederick. On the 22d of February, it crossed the Potomac with Banks' Army, and marched with it to Winchester, where, on the 21st, it was assigned to Abercombie's Brigade. At the opening of April, it marched with the brigade to Warrenton Junction, and a few days later returned independently, and joined General Geary's command, at Rectortown, remaining with it until the middle of May, and then re-joining General Banks at Strasburg.
On the night of May 24th, Banks' outposts, at Front Royal, were attacked by Jackson's Corps, and driven in upon his main body at Strasburg. Captain Collis was sent to reconnoitre the enemy's position, and found him moving on the road to Winchester, to the Union left and rear. Upon this information, Banks, knowing the enemy's strength to be greatly superior to his own,

ordered a retreat to Winchester. The Zouaves were left to cover the rear, with orders to burn the bridge over Goose Creek, to the South of Middletown. They remained at the bridge until the whole of the Union army had passed, when, hearing the sound of battle in the direction of Winchester, and judging that Jackson's forces had passed the stream below, they moved rapidly towards Middletown, which was found to be occupied by the enemy in force. They were discovered as they approached, and a column of the enemy was at once sent out to attack and capture them; but taking shelter behind a stone wall, they opened a destructive fire. Feeble in numbers, the stand could be only temporary, and they were compelled to fall back, retiring to Strasburg, crossing the very bridge in making their escape which they had been ordered to destroy. At the latter point, they were joined by a squadron of cavalry and a section of artillery, and again presented a bold front; but were ultimately driven, and directed their course towards Hancock, taking with them a train of over thirty wagons laden with quartermaster's stores. It was afterwards ascertained that this small company of but seventy-six muskets, had been engaging an entire brigade, and while its loss was but one wounded and one prisoner, the enemy had suffered severely in killed and wounded.
On arriving at the headquarters of General Banks, Captain Collis was complimented for the gallantry displayed by his command, and he was at once directed to recruit men for an entire Zouave Regiment. The company, now under command of Captain Barthoulot, who succeeded Captain Collis, remained with the army of Banks, and took part in the battle of Cedar Mountain, on the 9th of August, sustaining a loss of two killed and eleven wounded. Towards the close of the month, it was engaged in the battles of Bull Run, and Chantilly, and two weeks later in the battle of Antietam.
Returning to Philadelphia, Colonel Collis at once opened recruiting stations, and in the space of five weeks, the ranks of the nine new companies were full. On the 31st of August, these companies, eight hundred strong, pro- ceeded to Washington, where the regiment was organized by the selection of the following field officers : Charles H. T. Collis, Colonel ; Frederick F. Cavada, Lieutenant Colonel; Joseph S. Chandler, Major. The staff and line officers were largely taken from the original company. Soon after its organization, it was ordered to duty at Fort Slocum, in the defences north of the Capital, and shortly afterwards, moved to join the army, then resting in Maryland. Upon its arrival at Poolesville, the order to march was countermanded, and it re- turned to Fort Slocum. Two weeks later it was ordered to Arlington Heights, where, upon its arrival, it was assigned to Robinson's Brigade, * of Birney's, formerly Kearny's Division. At the beginning of October, the division moved to Poolesville, where it joined Stoneman's Corps. With the army it crossed the Potomac, and moved in light marching order to Warrenton,

crossing the right flank of the army, and from thence to Falmouth, where the corps was re-organized.
On. the 13th of December, Franklin having crossed the Rappahannock below Fredericksburg with his own grand division, and a part of that of Hooker, attacked the enemy with a single division, the Pennsylvania Reserves, but finding it too weak to hold the ground, which it had gallantly won, ordered up Gibbon's, and Doubleday's divisions, and finally Birney's. The division had moved from its camp on the 12th, up to the river bank opposite Franklin's Crossing, but it was not until the afternoon of the 13th, that the order for the division to cross, was given. Moving at quick step over the pontoons, it hastened forward to the support of the hard pressed troops, and came at once under a raking fire of artillery. The One Hundred and Fourteenth, with the Sixty-third Pennsylvania, was hurried to the defence of Randolph's and Livingston's batteries, and reached them just in time to save them from falling into the hands of the enemy. Holding the front line, these regiments suffered severely, the ground being hotly contested until dark. All night long the air was rent with the groans of the dying. On the following morning, the enemy opened heavily with his artillery, but towards noon his fire slackened, and in the afternoon a truce was declared for the burial of the dead and the removal of the wounded. It remained upon the field until the night of the 15th, when it retired to its old camp across the river. The loss of.the regiment in this engagement was twelve killed, seventeen wounded, and seventeen * captured. The Zouaves were highly commended for their gallantry in this engagement.
In Burnside's second campaign, which opened on the 20th of January, 1863, the Zouaves were selected to man the pontoons, and lay the bridge across the Rappahannock in face of the enemy in force on the opposite bank. The movement of the army was, however, interrupted by storms and impassable roads, and returning, the regiment went into camp near Potomac Creck.
On the 27th of April, the Chancellorsville Campaign opened, the corps breaking camp and moving for a diversion to Franklin's Crossing, below Fredericksburg ; but on the afternoon of the 30th, marched up to United States Ford, and crossing, arrived at Chancellorsville in the afternoon. The brigade was immediately formed near the Chancellor House, and at five o'clock was warmly attacked, but held its ground until withdrawn. The regiment moved early on the morning of the 2d, to the centre of the line, and with the division made a demonstration upon heavy forces of the enemy moving in the direction of Gordonsville, past the front of the Union lines, subsequently
* " The eireumstances of the capture of these seventeen men," says Colonel Bowen, " were as follows : These men were the members of the band who had gallantly accompanied the regiment when ordered across the river, and when it became engaged, had rendered valuable assistance to the wounded and to the surgeons in charge. On the night of the 15th, when our army re-crossed the river, they were not made aware of what was passing, and when they awoke on the morning of the 16th, found, to their utter amazement, the troops all gone, the pontoons removed, and they in the hands of the enemy. Their instruments. which were their own private property, were taken from them, and they were sent to Libby Prison. After their exchange, they returned to the regiment with a full set of superior instruments, presented to them by their friends at home, as an acknowledgment of their gallantry, and the good services they had rendered. The band remained with the regiment until the elose of the war, and by the sweet music it rendered, enlivened many a review and parade, cheered and refreshed the spirits of tired men on many a long march, and did much to incite and preserve the high tone and discipline which characterized this regiment.
