ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOURTH REGIMENT.
A N organization, with a sufficient number of companies for a regiment, was effected under the direction of General Canby, in charge of United States troops, in December, 1862, but before commissions had been issued to the field officers, seven of these companies were detailed for special duty, and only three companies, the rolls of which are here given, remained to- gether. They performed provost duty, in the city of Philadelphia, without field or staff officers, except Assistant Surgeon. They were mustered out of service on the 29th of September, and 21st of October, 1863, at Philadelphia.

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FIFTH
REGIMENT.
E NIGHT of the companies composing this regiment were recruited in Alle- gheny county, and rendezvoused at Camp Copeland, three miles from the city of Pittsburg. On the 3d of September, 1862, they were moved by rail to Harrisburg, where they were joined by two companies, G, and H, re- cruited in Clarion county, and a regimental organization was effected with the following field officers : Edward J. Allen, Colonel ; James Collard, Lieutenant Colonel ; John H. Cain, Major. On the day following its organization, it was clothed, armed, and accoutred, and resumed the journey to Washington. Cooped up in cattle cars, with scarcely air to breathe, this ride from Pitts- burg to the National Capital, was as comfortless as can well be imagined. The roar of the battle at Bull Run had scarcely died away when it ar- rived, and it was hurried forward to the defenses of the city across the Potomac. It was here assigned to the Second Brigade, Third Division, of the Fifth Corps, composed of the One Hundred and Thirty-first, One Hundred and Thirty-third, One Hundred and Twenty-third, and One Hundred and Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania regiments, Colonel P. H. Allabach in command. The enemy having advanced into Maryland, the Union army was put in motion to meet him. Pausing at Washington long enough to exchange the worthless Austrian rifles with which it had been armed, for the smooth-bore Springfield muskets, the regiment pushed forward through Maryland, over the battle-ground of South Mountain, and was greeted, as it approached Antietam, with the sound of the conflict. The Fifth Corps was held in reserve during the engagement, and hence the regiment was not called into action. After the battle, the army settled down in camp, near the field, and the regiment was thoroughly drilled. In the meantime, the troops suffered much from sickness and privation. Though near the great depot of stores, at Washington, requisitions for tents, clothing, and medical supplies, were unavailing, even in securing articles of the most pressing need, and it was only through the liberality of citizens of Pittsburg, and friends at Sharpsburg, that the wants of the regiment were relieved. For taking a single room in the house of a noted rebel, for a hospi- tal for his sick, near unto death, Colonel Allen was placed in arrest, by those who ruled the army at this time, and the dying soldiers were turned out of the rebel house. Over two hundred were at this time in hospital.
In the battle of Fredericksburg, which was principally fought on the 13th of December, the regiment first met the enemy. The Fifth Corps was in the Centre Grand Division, led by Hooker. It was not until the army, on all sides, had met repeated and most bloody repulse, and the fortunes of the day were overshadowed with gloom, that the Third Division, led by the veteran

THREE YEARS' SERVICE.
Humphreys, was ordered in. " My troops," says General Humphreys in his official report, " were in the act of forming for the third time, on the crest of the hill fronting Marye's Heights, some six or eight hundred yards distant, when I received an urgent request from Major General Couch, in person, to support that part of his corps on the left of the Telegraph Road, and almost at the same moment, a staff officer rode up and informed him that General Griffin was ordered to reinforce him. A few minutes later, I was also directed to do so, and without an instant's delay, the Second Brigade, commanded by Colonel Allabach, the nearest to the Telegraph Road, was moved to the front. * * The day was not clear, and there was much smoke over- hanging the ground, so that I had not yet seen distinctly the position occupied by the enemy, or that of our own troops, and the necessity was so urgent, that I could not take time to examine it, without the aid of some one who had been on the ground. At my request, an officer of General Hancock's staff, (Captain Hancock,) accompanied me, first to a ravine crossing the Telegraph Road, where the troops could form under partial cover, some three hundred yards from the enemy, then to the plain above, on which, some two hundred yards in advance, were the troops I was to support, partially sheltered by a slight rise or fold in the ground. One hundred and fifty yards beyond them was a heavy stone wall, nearly a mile in length, which was strengthened by a trench. This stone wall was at the foot of Marye's Heights, the crest of which, run- ning from one to four hundred yards in rear of the wall, was crowned with bat- teries. The stone wall- was heavily lined with the enemy's infantry. A wide, deep ditch, or canal, impassable for troops, ran through the ravine, and was crossed by two roads only, the Telegraph Road, and the Plank Road. My troops were obliged to pass in column down the Telegraph Road, until the ditch was crossed. There was barely room for a brigade to form in double lines, between the ditch and the edge of the ravine next the enemy. The Second Brigade was quickly formed here, under my direction by Colonel Allabach, and then led by him and myself, it moved rapidly and gallantly up to General Couch's troops, under the artillery and musketry fire of the enemy. The nature of the enemy's line of defense could not be clearly perceived by me, until I reached this point. The troops I was to support, as well as those on their left and right, were sheltering themselves by lying on the ground. This example Colonel Allabach's brigade immediately followed, spite of our efforts to prevent it, and opened a fire upon the enemy. A part only of our men were able to reach the front rank, owing to the numbers already occupying the ground. The continued presence of the troops I was to support, or relieve, proved a serious obstacle to my success. As soon as I ascertained fully the nature of the enemy's position, I was satisfied that our fire could have but little effect upon him, and that the only mode of attacking him successfully was with the bayonet. This I resolved to do, although my command was composed of troops that entered the service in August. With great difficulty their firing was arrested, chiefly by the exertions of myself and staff, and Colonel Allabach, aided by Colonel Allen, Colonel Clarke, and Captain Tyler. Whilst this was being done, I sent a staff officer to General Tyler, commanding the First Bri- gade, with instructions to bring his command to the left of the road, in the ravine, and prepare them to support or take the place of Allabach's Brigade, as the event might require. The charge was then made, but the deadly fire of . musketry and artillery broke it after an advance of fifty yards. Colonel Alla- 101-VOL. IV.
