ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINTH REGIMENT.

YOMPANIES D, G, I, and K of this regiment were recruited in Allegheny county, B and C in Armstrong, E and F in Allegheny and Armstrong, A in Mereer, and H in Beaver and Allegheny. It was organized at the place of rendezvous, Camp Howe, near the eity of Pittsburg, on the 1st of Septem- ber, 1862, at a moment when the smoke from the disastrous field of Bull Run hung in gloom over the Union army, and reinforcements were sorely needed. The following were the field officers : Frederick H. Collier, Colonel; James D. Owens, Lieutenant Colonel ; William H. Moody, Major.

It was immediately ordered to the front, departing on the evening of the 1st, receiving arms at Harrisburg on the 2d, and arriving at Washington on the 3d. The dead in the battle of Bull Run were still unburied, and this regi- ment was sent to the field under flag of truee to perform the mournful duty of eonsigning them to the earth. For three days it was incessantly employed. Several days had now elapsed since the dead had fallen, the battle having commeneed on the 27th of August, and the eorpses exposed to a summer sun were in a loathsome condition. Very few of the rebel dead had been left unburied, but the Union soldiers lay as they fell, seattered over all the field in every conceivable position. Many had been robbed of hats, eoats, and shoes, and in many instances stripped entirely naked. One thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine Union soldiers were committed to graves, the best, in view of their condition, that could be given them. This duty ended, the regiment hastened forward after the army, coming up with it on the 17th of September, the day of the battle of Antietam, and was at ones put in line but did not become en- gaged. On the following day, the enemy having retreated, it was pushed for- ward to the Potomae, participating in a skirmish near Williamsport. Upon its incorporation with the army, it was assigned to the Third Brigade, Third Division of the Sixth Corps, where it was associated with the Ninety-third, Ninety-eighth, and One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania, and the Sixty-sec- ond New York.

In the battle of Fredericksburg, fought on the 13th of December, the Sixth Corps, commanded by General Smith, formed part of General Franklin's Grand Division, but was held in reserve near the river bank while the fighting. was in progress, and beyond being under a heavy artillery fire was not en- gaged. The regiment lost thirteen wounded, the effeet of the enemy's shells.

In the Chancellorsville campaign it was made the duty of the Sixth Corps, here led by General Sedgwick, to cross the Rappahannock below Frederieks-

burg and drive the enemy from the heights, while the main body of the army under Hooker, moved above and came in upon the rebel flank. The brigade, commanded by General Wheaton, erossed the river at eight P. M., of the 2d of May. "At twelve P. M.," says General Wheaton in his official report, " the division marehed from its bivouae on the south side of the Rappahannock to- wards Fredericksburg, this brigade following the First. Just before daylight we reached the enemy's works upon the heights, and when ordered by General Newton to feel them and learn something of the nature of their defenses, force, number of guns, &e., I selected the Sixty-second New York and One Hundred and Second Pennsylvania, and forming them in line just below the erest, marched up to draw the enemy's fire. Before the regiments were two hundred yards from the brigade line, they were opened on by a heavy musketry fire, and apparently five pieces of artillery from the rebel works and rifle-pits not two hundred and fifty yards distant, and compelled to fall back a few yards to a line where the slopes afforded them some protection from the enemy's fire, which position they held until the heights were taken. The remaining three regiments of my brigade were then marehed forward on a line with, and to the left of the two above mentioned, and formed the first line of battle.

* At about noon the heights in our front were assaulted on the ex- treme right by the Light Brigade, and as soon as they were carried, my own regiments and all I could find in their vicinity were moved up at double quick to the support of the attacking column, and to hold the heights." When pos- session of the ground was assured, the troops were formed in two lines, Whea- ton's Brigade in advance, the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth being the first regiment on the left of the main road. When arrived on the main ridge one and a half miles out, the two other divisions eame up, and when re-formed again advaneed to Salem Church, where the enemy was found in strong posi- tion. The One Hundred and Thirty-ninth was at first posted in support of a battery, but soon followed where the Ninety-Third and One Hundred and Sec- ond were desperately engaged. For some time an unequal contest was main- tained, and the enemy, who had come in upon the rear by a ravine, were driven back by the well directed fire of these regiments. They were finally obliged to retire, and took position in support of batteries. On the following day the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth occupied an important position on the front line, and could not be relieved when the rest of the brigade at night retired to the junetion of the Main and Banks' Ford Roads. The enemy having moved a heavy force around upon the flank of the corps in the direction of Freder- ieksburg, it was obliged to retire towards Banks' Ford, the enemy following up and eontesting every rood with great daring. Finally, on the night of Mon- day, the 4th, the division re-crossed the river on the pontoons which had been previously laid to ensure its safety, and encamped a mile and a half baek. In few battles have troops suffered more severely than did Wheaton's Brigade in this. The One Hundred and Thirty-ninth lost one hundred and twenty-three in killed, wounded, and missing. Captain John C. Dempsey, and Lieutenant James T. Harbison, were of the killed, and Sergeant Frederick E. Dake lost his right arm.

On the 8th of June, the Sixth Corps again crossed the Rappahannock at Franklin's Crossing, and was busily engaged in fortifying. The enemy gave no attention to this movement, but soon afterwards started for a grand eam- paign on northern soil, At Gettysburg, on the 1st of July, he met the ad;

vance of the Union army, and the great battle was at once opened. At eight o'clock that evening, the Sixth Corps was resting thirty miles away, when it was first apprised of the fighting at Gettysburg, and received orders to pro- ceed with all dispatch to the field of carnage. Wheaton's Brigade arrived on the afternoon of the 2d, and was at once ordered to the support of the Third and Fifth Corps. Forming with the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth on the extreme left of the line, the brigade swept across the open ground to the right of Little Round Top, and over the rugged wooded knoll to the right of the road leading over to the Peach Orchard. Here it took up a position which it held, checking the enemy in every attempt to penetrate the Union lines. On the following day it was withdrawn a short distance, where it remained until the close of the battle. Captain Jeremiah M. Sample was mortally wounded in this engagement. " He was an old man," says Colonel Collier, " when he went into the service. His father was a soldier of the war of 1812. A nobler old man never died for his country."

In the campaign which was inaugurated after the two armies had returned to the valley of Virginia, the regiment participated, taking part in the brilliant affair at Rappahannock Station, and in the preliminaries to the contemplated assault upon the enemy's works at Mine Run. Upon the abandonment of offensive operations, it went into camp near Brandy Station. Near the close of the year 1863, Wheaton's Brigade was detached from the Army of the Potomac, and ordered to Harper's Ferry. The weather was unusual for severity, even at that season, and the journey, made upon box cars without fire, was attended with great suffering. After crossing the Potomac, and ad- vancing to Halltown, the brigade was ordered back, and went into permanent quarters at Harper's Ferry. About the middle of March, 1864, it returned and re-joined the corps at Brandy Station, where it was transferred from the Third to the Second Division.

A number of recruits were added to the regiment during the winter, and when the corps moved from winter-quarters for the spring campaign in the Wilderness, it presented an array of nearly its original strength. The Second Division was separated from the rest of the corps, soon after crossing the Rapidan, and was ordered to take position at the junction of the Brock and Plank roads, four miles cast of Parker's Store, and to hold it until the Sec- ond Corps could return from its march southward of the early morning. While moving forward through the dense thickcts, this division was suddenly attacked. The One Hundred and Thirty-ninth was on the front line, and with the Ninety-first received the first firc. It was promptly returned, and the enemy driven. The fighting during the afternoon was very severe, but a breast-work thrown up along the Brock Road, proved an impassable barrier, and the fierce assaults of Longstreet's Corps, on the following day, were re- pulsed with immense slaughter. The regiment lost in killed and wounded one hundred and ninety-six, including nearly every commissioned officer. Major Abraham H. Snyder, and Lieutenant Ephraim C. Grace, were among the killed. Major Snyder was mounted, acting as Lieutenant Colonel, and was urging on his meu, when he was struck by a rebel bullet directly in the forchead, and killed instantly.

In the operations about Spottsylvania Court House, which lasted from the 8th to the 21st, the regiment bore a part, being almost constantly under fire, and at times contesting the ground with the most determined bravery. At the North.

Anna, the regiment was but lightly engaged; but at Cold Harbor, where the enemy was again found athwart the way of march, the fighting was most bloody and heroie. The enemy held advantageous ground, which was well fortified, and against this the Union forces were led, in repeated but vain assaults. Lieutenant Colonel William H. Moody, while leading in the action of the 2d of June, was instantly killed, and Captain William W. Dyer, and Lieutenant Robert N. Culmer, were mortally wounded. The losses in both men and officers were very severe.

On the 15th, the eorps erossed the James, and marehing up, immediately commenced operations in front of Petersburg. On the 18th, a grand assault was delivered, but the enemy's works proved too strong to be carried. On the 29th, the regiment joined in a movement upon the Weldon Railroad, which resulted in the destruction of a portion of the road, and in the relief of the cavalry which had been cut off while upon a raid on the enemy's eommu- nications in rear of Richmond.

On the 9th of July the Sixth Corps, which, since the fall of Sedgwick at Spottsylvania, had been commanded by Wright, was ordered to Washington, to meet the enemy under Early, advancing triumphantly through Maryland. Early was easily repulsed, and sent flying through Virginia to the Shenandoalı Valley. No decisive action was had, though the corps was kept almost con- stantly on the move, until Sheridan took command of the Union forees. He soon inspired all with new life and energy, and in the hard fought battles of Winchester, Fisher's Hill, and Cedar Creek, gained signal victories, capturing large numbers of guns, standards, and small arms, taking many prisoners, and completely annihilating the rebel power in the Valley. In this triumphant campaign, brilliant in vietories beyond any other during the war, the One Hundred and Thirty-ninth bore an honorable part, attesting its bravery by severe losses on every field. In the action at Cedar Creek, Lientenant James P. M'Kean was killed, and Captain Daniel Crum mortally wounded.

There being nothing more for it to do in the Valley, the Sixth Corps re> turned on the 1st of December to its place in the lines before Petersburg, where, during the winter, it remained in comparative quiet. On the 25th of March, 1865, the enemy attempted to force the Union lines at Fort Steadman> A counter move was immediately ordered along the whole front, to discover' if the enemy had materially weakened any part. The brigade was ordered to' go forward on the Sixth Corps' front. The enemy's outer works were gallantly earried ; but on approaching his strong fortifications, they were found amply manned, and the brigade subsequently retired, the purpose of the advanee having been fully accomplished. In this encounter, Lieutenant Michael Mullen was killed ..

While the army was lying in front of Petersburg, Lieutenant General Grant had received from patriotic citizens the sum of four hundred and sixty dollars, to be presented to that soldier who should be the first to plant the Union flag on the ramparts of Richmond, upon its down-fall. As Richmond was not taken by assault, but fell without resistance, as a consequence of the success- ful assault on Petersburg, on the 2d of April, General Grant deemed that the donors' wishes would be best met by dividing the sum among the three Color Ser- geants most conspicuous for gallantry in the three corps of the army most warmly engaged in the final struggle. He, accordingly, called on the corps commanders, to designate the men who should be the recipients of this coveted

honor. General Wright, who commanded the Sixth Corps, reported the name of Sergeant David W. Young, of company E, of the One Hundred and Thirty- ninth Pennsylvania Regiment, as most deserving in his corps. The one-third part of the above named sum, together with an autograph letter, of which the following is a copy, was, accordingly, transmitted to Sergeant Young :

WASHINGTON, July 22, 1865.

Sergeant DAVID W. YOUNG,

Company E, 139th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers :

The sum of four hundred and sixty dollars was sent to me by patriotic citizens to be presented as a reward for gallantry to the soldier who should first raise our flag over Richmond. As Richmond was not taken by assault, I have concluded that the donors' wishes will be best carried out by dividing the sum between thrce soldiers most conspicuous for gallantry in the final and successful assault on Petersburg.

You have been selected by Major General H. G. Wright, commanding the Sixth Army Corps, as entitled to this honor on behalf of that command, and I herewith present to you one hundred and fifty-three dollars and thirty-three cents as one-third of the original sum.

It affords me great satisfaction to receive from your Commanding General such unqualified testimony of your gallantry and heroism in battle, and to be the medium of transmitting to you this recognition of the worth of your ser- vices in defense of our common country.

U. S. GRANT, Lieutenant General.

The action on the part of the brigade was spirited and was attended with considerable loss. After the abandonment of Petersburg and retreat of the' encmy, the corps pushed on to the support of Sheridan, who was straining every nerve to intercept the rebel army and prevent its escape. At Sailor's Creek it came up with the cavalry and stern fighting ensued ; but the enemy was finally obliged to yield, and Ewell with large numbers of his corps was captured. A few days later the entire rebel army surrendered. Subsequently the regiment moved with other troops to the North Carolina border to the support of Sherman. But Johnston soon after surrendering, hostilities ceased, and the regiment returned by way of Richmond to the neighborhood of Wash- ington, where, on the 21st of June, it was mustered out of service.
