rear of the fort, in sight of the rebel works. In the morning it was found that the rebels had evacuated the fort under cover of the night, leaving eleven pieces of artillery, in excellent order, and an immense quantity of ammunition.
The artillery, ammunition and materials captured at St. John's Bluff, were placed upon steamers, and the command taken to Hilton Head, S. C., where they arrived on the 7th, the object of the expedition having been accomplished, with a loss to the 47th of only two wounded. The regiment was next engaged at Pocotaligo. The 47th was detailed as an escort at the burial of, and fired the first salute over the grave of Gen. O. M. Mitchell, who died on the 30th of September. It returned to Key West on the 18th of November, where it remained until the 25th of February, when it was ordered to Louisiana. It was next assigned to an expedition under command of Gen. Banks. The Perry county companies were first engaged during this expedition at Pleasant Hill, the engagement at Cane Hill followed, after which, on the 20th of June, the regiment moved by steamer to New Orleans. On the 5th of July, the regiment embarked on the steamer Mcclellan, and arrived at Washington on the 12th. The corps to which the 47th belonged was the 19th. This was assigned to General Hunter's command, which it joined near Snicker's Gap, and was engaged in the defense of the National Capitol, and in expelling the rebels from Maryland. The 47th was placed in command of Gen. Sheridan soon after the battle of Antietam, and was thenceforward known as the Army of the Shenandoah.
The battle of Opequan, in which the 47th participated, was fought on the 19th of September ; Fisher's Hill, on the 21st. On the 17th of October the regiment proceeded on a reconnoisance to Strasburg, and on the Igth participated in the battle of Cedar Creek. In this battle, Chaplain W. D. C. Rodrock is spoken of as "rendering effective service, and receiving a bullet through his hat. In every battle in which the regiment was engaged, save that at Pocotaligo Bridge, where he was detailed to take charge of the wounded, the ·chaplain was at the post of duty."
On the morning of the 3d of January, 1866, the regiment embarked for New York, where, after a stormy passage, it arrived safely, and proceeded by rail to Philadelphia. It had seen service in seven of the Southern States, participating in the most exhausting campaigns, marched more than twelve hundred miles, and made twelve voyages at sea. It was the only Pennsylvania regiment that belonged to the Red River expedition, or that served in that Department, until after the surrender of Lee. On the 9th of January, after a term of service of four years and four months, it was mustered out at Camp Cadwalader.
Of the Field and Staff Officers belonging to the 47th, there were from Perry county : Elisha W. Baily, Surgeon, Sept. 24, 1861 ; mustered out Sept. 23, 1864-expiration of term. Rev. W. D. C. Rodrock Chaplain, Aug. 14, 1861 . commissioned Oct. 31, 1861 ; remustered, Sept. 18, 1864 : mustered out with regiment, Dec. 25, 1865.

Died on his way home from Wilmington, N. C., '65.
The Ninety-Second first met the enemy at Lebanon, Tenn., where they signally defeated the notorious rebel leader, John Morgan. The regiment was next engaged in covering the retreat of General Nelson, after the disastrous battle of Richmond, Ky. It had a sharp encounter with Jenkins' Cavalry, at Shelbyville. At Perryville it was highly praised by General Buell. It next made a raid across the

Pine, Cumberland and Clinch Mountains, and burned the bridge spanning the Watauga. They crossed the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, and moving down the railroad ten or twelve miles, destroyed a trestle work of near a mile, when they turned the direction of their march toward Kentucky, reaching Nickolasville the point from which they started, on the night of the 13th of January. It was engaged at Franklin two days after its return, and for the heroic part that it bore in this action it was honorably mentioned in special orders by Gen. Rosencrans. It took part in the battle of Chickamauga, Tenn. It fought in the initial movements of the battles of Rover, Middletown, Shelbyville and Elk River. At Cowan it captured two hundred of Bragg's rear guard. In the winter of '63 and spring of '64, it fought in the battles of Dandridge, New Market, Mossy Creek and Fair Garden After the furlough of thirty days it returned to Louisville, where Colonel Jordan defeated the well-laid plans of John Morgan, to cut off from his base of supplies General Sherman, who was then far on his march to Atlanta. The regiment marched next to Nashville, and thence to Chattanooga, arriving on the 2d of September. By order of Gen. J. B. Steadman, the regiment started at once in pursuit of the rebel General Wheeler, who was crossing the mountains with all his cavalry into Middle Tennessee, and on the morning of the 6th, on the Woodbury and M'Minnville Road to Readyville, it attacked and defeated General Dibberel's Brigade of Wheeler's command. In acknowledgment of Colonel Jordan's good conduct and that of the troops under his command, of which the Ninth Pennsylvania constituted two-thirds, complimentary orders were issued to Generals Van Cleve at Murfreesboro, Milroy at Tullahoma, and Steadman at Chattanooga.

The regiment joined General Sherman at Marietta, Ga., and on the 14th of November started on its march to the sea. On the 16th it encountered General Wheeler, who occupied the old works of the enemy at Lovejoy's Station, on the Macon Railroad. The position was occupied by the brigade, and the guns manned by the regiment, and retained by it until the end of the war Frequently engaged in skirmishes in December, it fought in the battle of Bear Creek. At Buck Head Creek, it was attacked by Wheeler's Cavalry with the hope of cutting it off from the main army, already across the stream, but by a bold charge the enemy was repulsed, and the regiment joined the main command. General Dibberel's Division of Wheeler's Cavalry was found in line of battle at Buckhead church, and defeated by the Ninth. Again the enemy made a stand at Waynesboro, where they were defeated, and retreated across Briar .Creek. on the road leading to Augusta. After a month's delay, the regiment entered South Carolina and at Blackwell defeated a portion of Wheeler's command. A short time after this it encountered Wheeler and Hampton, who were signally repulsed, and the Ninth, with the brigade to which it was attached, moved as far as Black Stake's Station, North Carolina, on the Columbia and Charlotte Railroad, where it met and defeated a force of the enemy. On the 16th of March it was engaged at Averysboro, in an action which lasted from six in the morning until two in the afternoon. On the 19th it participated in the hotly-contested field near Bentonville. On the morning of the 11th of April, the cavalry struck the head of the enemy's retreating columns, and compelled them to retreat toward Hillsboro, and on the morning of the 13th, the First Brigade, to which the Ninth belonged, entered the city of Raleigh, and after passing through the city, the enemy under Wheeler and Hampton was found in position on the Hillsboro' Road. The Ninth bore the brunt of the engagement which followed.
