ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT.
T NWO companies, F and I, of this regiment, were recruited in Juniata county. The remaining, with the exception of about half of company B, from Fulton, were exclusively from Franklin county. They were recruited in about three weeks' time, and rendezvoused at Camp Curtin, between the 6th and 10th of August, 1862, when a regimental organization was effected, with the following field officers : James G. Elder, Colonel ; D. Watson Rowe, Lieutenant Colonel ; James C. Austin, Major. Many of the officers and men had served in the Second Regiment, for three months' service. On the 15th, the regiment proceeded to Washington, and crossing the Potomac, encamped for a week at Fort Albany, when it moved to the neighborhood of Cloud's Mills, and was there assigned to a brigade * commanded by General E. B. Tyler. Drill and discipline was at once commenced, and studiously followed. On the 31st, six companies under Lieutenant Colonel Rowe, were ordered to proceed with a section of artillery to the Bull Run Bridge, on the Centreville Road. But before the detachment had moved, the disasters of the army and its retreat across that stream were known, and the order was countermanded. On the same day, companies A and B were detailed as guard to an ammunition train on its way to the front, and company K was sent to Fairfax Station to care for the wounded there collected.
Until the 12th of September the regiment remained at the fortifications in front of Washington. t The division then crossed to Meridian Hill, and on the

t A melancholy, but romantic incident which occurred at this time, is thus related by Judge Rowe in his " Sketch of the Regiment : " "Before we follow the regiment from Washington, a bit of romance connected with its history is to be chronicled. William Fitzpatrick, of Western Virginia, loved or was loved by Frances Day. Fitzpatrick enlisted in company F, from Juniata county, and went to the war with the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Regi- ment. In a short time he fell ill, and on the 24th of August, 1862, whilst the regiment lay at Cloud's Mills, he died in the hospital at Alexandria. On the day he died, Frank Mayne, a Sergeant of company F, unaccountably deserted. When he enlisted he was a stranger to all the men of that company, but in a few days he had so ingratiated himself with his comrades and officers, as to be promoted to Sergeant. He was not heard of any more while the regi- ment remained in service. But long after, in the far West, a soldier, wounded badly in a

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIXTH REGIMENT,
14th, commenced the march towards Antietam, arriving on the 16th on the Monocacy, where Tyler's Brigade lay until the afternoon of the 17th, a large body of paroled Union prisoners, surrendered by Miles at Harper's Ferry passing by in the meantime. At three P. M., the march for the battle- field was resumed, and upon its arrival on the following morning, received twenty additional rounds of ammunition, and took position in reserve with the rest of Porter's Corps. But the fighting had now ended, and as the enemy withdrew, the brigade advanced to the river bank, and finally went into camp near Sharpsburg. The regiment was now near home, and received many visits from neighbors and friends of the men, who came bearing provisions and delicacies. The State colors were presented here, and the division was reviewed by President Lincoln. With the exception of a reconnoissance made by Humphreys' Division, with cavalry and artillery into Virginia, as far as Leestown, in which little resistance was encountered, there was little to mar the monotony of camp life while the regiment remained in Maryland. The visit of ladies of Waynesburg, and the presentation to company E of a beauti- ful banner, formed a most pleasing incident. ¢
With the army the regiment moved to Warrenton, and subsequently to the neighborhood of Falmouth. At four o'clock on the morning of the 11th of December, it moved from camp for its initial battle. For two days it was held in suspense, the music of bands and the heavy booming of Burnside's cannon filling the air. On the 13th the brigade crossed the Rappahannock, on the upper bridge, and passing up through the town, was led at half-past three out on the Telegraph Road to a low meadow on the right, where it was exposed to a heavy fire of artillery, without shelter and without the ability to offer the least resistance. The only alternative was to stand in silence, and await swift destruction. After a little delay it was ordered to the left of the road, under cover of a hill. The road was swept by the enemy's shells, and the bullets of his sharp-shooters, and here Lieutenant Harry C. Fortescue was instantly killed. Three fruitless attempts had already been made to carry the frowning heights above, and now Humphreys' Division was ordered up for a final charge, for Burnside had said, "That crest must be carried to-night." Forming his brigade in two lines, the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth on the right of the second line, with orders to the men not to fire, but rely solely upon the bayonet, Tyler sounded the charge. Forward went that devoted brigade, uttering heroic cheers, ascending the hill in well ordered lines, and on past the brick house ou Marye's Hill, over the prostrate lines of the last charging column, and up within a moment's dash of the stone-wall where the enemy lay. But now that fatal wall was one sheet of flame, and to add to the horror of the situation, the troops in the rear opened, every flash in the twilight visi- ble. Bewildered, and for a moment irresolute, the troops commenced firing. This was fatal. The momentum of the charge was lost, and staggering back to the cover of the house, and descending the declivity, re-formed at the foot of the hill. At the head of his men, heroically urging them on at the farthest point in the charge, Colonel Elder fell, severely wounded. The loss in that

great battle, could not conceal her sex, and Frances Day then told how she had followed Fitz- patrick into the army, and became herself a soldier and a Sergeant in the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers; of her desertion upon her lover's death, and the abandon and despair which led her again to seek the ranks of the army. To verify her story, letters were written to the officers of company F, at Mifflintown, and thus the mystery of the Sergeant's desertion was dispelled."

NINE MONTHS' SERVICE.
brief charge was twenty-seven killed, fifty wounded, and three missing. Captains John Dæbler, John P. Wharton, and John H. Walker, and Lieutenants James Pott, Josiah W. Fletcher, and William H. Mackey, were among the wounded. "It will be impossible for me," says General Tyler in his official report, " to mention the many acts of heroism on that bloody field ; but it is due to the officers and men to state that they performed their duties well, and they need no higher encomium than to know that their conduct on the field was highly complimented by their Division and Grand Division commanders." "No prettier sight was ever seen," said Hooker, as he turned to leave the field after the failure of the assault, "than the charge of that division."
At nine o'clock the brigade returned to town, but at three on the following morning was again led to the scene of the evening's charge. Everything was now quiet. Lieutenant Walker with a detail was sent out and diligently searched the field for the wounded. In the morning the brigade was relieved and again returned. Toward midnight of the 15th, the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth was sent out beyond the town, on the advanced picket line, the army, in the meantime, rapidly re-crossing the stream. Towards daylight, a company of the Ninety-first and a body of Berdan's sharp-shooters were sent to its aid, and with these acting as skirmishers on flank and rear, it moved in the morning light, the last of the army over.
