ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY- EIGHTH REGIMENT.
C YOMPANIES A, H, and I, of this regiment, were from Columbia county, B, E, D, and K from Lancaster, F, and G from Montour, and C from Luzerne. The men assembled in Camp Curtin, from the 20th to 25th of October, 1862, where company organizations were effected, and on the 2d of December, the following field officers were elected : James Johnson, of Phila- delphia, Colonel ; John Wimer, of Lancaster county, Lieutenant Colonel; James W. Chamberlain, of Columbia county, Major. The field of officers had all seen service : Colonel Johnson in the Seventy-first, having been severely wounded in the battle of Ball's Bluff, Lieutenant Colonel Wimer in the Seventy- seventh, and Major Chamberlain in the Sixth Reserve. On the 5th of Decem- ber, the regiment moved to Washington, and on the 10th proceeded thence by transport, via Fortress Monroe, to Newport News. After about a week's delay, it marched to Yorktown, where it went into camp, and on the 29th went inside the fortifications and commenced drill and garrison duty. Company and regi- mental drills were daily held, and at evening, schools for the instruction of officers, that for captains being presided over by Colonel Johnson, that for first lieutenants, by Lieutenant Colonel Wimer, and that for second lieuten- ants by Major Chamberlain. Detachments from the regiment were frequently sent out in various directions during the winter, but without meeting any determined resistance.
Early in April, 1863, the enemy, under General Wise, advanced from the direction of Richmond, and attacked, in force, the little garrison at Fort Magruder, near Williamsburg. The One Hundred and Seventy-eighth was immediately summoned to its relief, and starting on the afternoon of the 11tb, arrived at the fort a little after dark. The Fifth Pennsylvania Cavalry, occupying a camp a short distance from the fort, had been overpowered and its camp destroyed, but had succeeded in checking the enemy's onset with the guns of the fort. A part of the One Hundred and Seventy-eighth was at once thrown out upon the picket line, in front of the fort, and skirmishing was kept up for several days, but no determined attack was made. On the 12th of June, in company with detachments of the Fortieth Massachusetts, and one Hundred and Thirty-ninth New York, all under command of Colonel Johnson, a recon- noissance was made up the Peninsula, to Charles City and Providence Ferry, in which a large amount of supplies for the rebel government were destroyed, and herds of cattle were captured and driven away. The regiment continued on the advanced picket line stretching across the Peninsula, until the 23d of June, when it was re-called, and ordered to join the forces under General Dix

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT,
in a demonstration towards Richmond, designed as a diversion in favor of the Union army at Gettysburg, a dispatch having been intercepted, showing that Beauregard, with thirty thousand men, was about to march from Richmond to reinforce the rebel leader in Pennsylvania. General Dix moved with his entire force to White House, where he divided his command, sending one column, under General Getty, towards Hanover Court House, and the other, under General Keyes, in which was the One Hundred and Seventy-eighth, towards Bottom's Bridge, on the Chickahominy. At the river the enemy was met on the 2d of July, and a brisk skirmish ensued, with some loss. The regi- ment held the right of the line, and fortunately had few casualties. Until the 6th, the regiment held a picket line in face of the enemy near Baltimore Store. It was then withdrawn, and returned to Williamsburg. With other militia regiments it was hurried away to Washington, for the purpose of reinforcing the army of the Potomac; but the enemy having been driven out of Pennsylvania, and across the Potomac, it was sent to Harrisburg, where, on the 27th, it was mustered out of service.
