"Deeming it advisable to unite the command as speedily as possible, the signal was given for Colonel McReynolds to move. As his van- guard left the town, the advance of the enemy appeared in sight. After a long and fatiguing march the command reached Winchester at ten P.M. The tired troops had scarcely thrown themselves on the wet ground for rest, when they were again put in motion. The Sixty- seventh was, at daylight of Sunday, ordered into the rifle-pits encircling the Star Fort, a mile and a half north of Winchester.

" There are three ranges of hills on the north of Winchester. The first range was occupied by three forts .. The Star Fort was intermediate, and was held by the Third Brigade, under Colonel McReynolds. During Sunday, long masses of the enemy were seen moving north- ward, and it was apparent to all that it was a part of the main body of the enemy, and be- fore evening the small command of General Milroy would be completely surrounded. Gen- eral Lee having quietly broken camp upon the Rappahannock, the isolated command of Gen- cral Milroy was the first obstacle he encoun- tered. About four o'clock the enemy opened upon the two principal. forts. At a council of war during the night it was decided to evacu- ate. At a little before noon, when only four miles from Winchester, a large body of the enemy was encountered, which immediately

opened a heavy fire. Again and again the troops, led by General Milroy in person, charged his well-supported guns, and succeeded in cap- turing some of his pieces, but were not able to hold them ; with fresh troops, in overpowering numbers, he drove back our forces, render- ing any attempts to break his linc futile. At the opening of the engagement the Sixty-sev- enth and Sixth Maryland were deployed to the right. Scarcely had they advanced three-quar- ters of a mile in this direction, when they found themselves in the very midst of the enemy. A severe engagement ensued, in which the little force made a gallant but hopeless defence. The Sixty-seventh, which was in the advance, find- ing itself completely overpowered, and surround- ed on all sides by masses of the enemy, was obliged to give up the contest and surrender. The fragment of the Sixty-seventh which es- caped capture was reorganized at Harper's Fer- ry, and, with the rest of Milroy's command, was formed in two brigades, which subsequently became the Third Division of the Third Corps. The regiment, with this division, was engaged in fortifying Maryland Heights until the 30th of June, when, the works having been disman- tled, the ordnance and stores were shipped to Washington, General Elliott's brigade, to which the Sixty-seventh belonged, acting as a guard. It arrived on the 4th. From Washington the division joined the Army of the Potomac at Fredericksburg. In the campaign which fol- lowed, during the fall and winter of 1863, the regiment shared the fortunes of the Third Corps. During the winter a large portion of the men re-enlisted, but so many had originally joincd the regiment at a late date that there were not a sufficient number eligible to re-enlistment to entitle it to a veteran furlough. General Meade, however, in consideration of the fact that nearly all who were eligible had done so, permitted the veterans to be furlonghed in a body, and to take their arms with them. The remainder of the regiment, consisting of about two hundred men, being left without officers, was temporarily attached to the One Hundred and Thirty-fiftlı Pennsylvania. The veterans, numbering three hundred and fifty, accompanied by their offi- cers, departed for Philadelphia. At the expira-

tion of the thirty days' furlough they returned to Washington, and were ordered to report to General Abercrombie, at Belle Plain. Colonel Staunton was then placed in command of a reg- iment of cavalry and a battery, in addition to his own, and directed to proceed to the White House, where he arrived early in June, and the Sixty-seventh was retained for duty at this post.

In the operations of the army under General Wright, which lasted during the summer, through Northern Virginia and Maryland, the regiment participated. In the early part of September, Colonel Staunton and Captain Berry being now out of service, and Lieutenant-Colonel Burn- ham having been discharged at the expiration of his term, to accept the rank of major in the regular army, the command of the regiment devolved upon Adjutant John F. Young. From the 15th of June, 1864, the regiment was with Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley campaign until the close of the year, when, with the corps, it was ordered to rejoin the army in front of Peters- burg in the subsequent operations of the corps, including the final campaign, which ended at Appomattox Court-House on the 19th of April, 1865. After the surrender of Lee the regiment marched with a part of the army to Danville, near the North Carolina border, where Johnson was still in command of a large rebel force. After his capitulation it returned to the neigh- borhood of Washington, and on the 14th of July, 1865, was mustered out of service.

ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY-SECOND REGI- MENT .- The One Hundred and Forty-second Regiment was made up of three companies from Somerset County, and one from cach of the counties of Westmoreland, Mcreer, Monroe, Venango, Luzerne, Fayette and Union, the last-named being Company E, of which the original commanding officer was Captain John A. Owens.

Curtin, Harrisburg, where the companies were mustered into the service as they arrived dur- ing the month of August, 1862. On the 1st of September the organization of the regiment was effected, under the following-named field offi- cers : Colonel, Robert P. Cummings, of Somer- set County ; Lieutenant-Colonel, Alfred M. Mc- Calmont, of Venango; Major, John Bradley, of Luzerne. Within two days from the time the organization was completed the regiment moved to Washington, D. C., where it was first en- ployed in the construction of fortifications for the defense of the city. In the latter part of September it was moved to Frederick, Md., where it remained a few weeks, and early in October it marched to Warrenton, Va., it hav- ing been assigned to duty in the Second Brig- adc, Third Division (the Pennsylvania Reserves) of the First Corps. From Warrenton it moved to Brooks' Station, on the Richmond, Freder- icksburg and Potomac Railroad.

The men of the regiment first smelt the smoke of battle at Fredericksburg, on the 13th of De- cember. The Reserve Division formed a part of General Franklin's grand division, and at noon on the 12th crossed the Rappahannock, and took up a position for the night along the river-bank. Early on the following morning the division crossed the ravine which ents the plain nearly parallel with the river, and formed in line of battle. The One Hundred and For- ty-second Regiment was deployed on the left of the division, supporting a battery. Finally the order was given to charge, and the regiment went forward with a cheer, but was met by a fusilade so deadly that its advance was checked. " Exposed to a destructive fire, from which the rest of the brigade was shielded, it could only await destruction, without the privilege of re- turning it, and with no prospect of gaining an advantage ; but with a nerve which veterans might envy, it heroically maintained its position till ordered to retire. Out of five hundred and fifty men who stood in well-ordered ranks in the morning, two hundred and fifty in one brief hour were stricken down. After this disastrous charge the division fell back to the position west of the ravine which it had occupied on the The regimental rendezvous was at Camp | previous day, where it remained until, with the

army, it crossed the river on the night of the 15th, and two days after went into winter-quar- ters near Belle Plain Landing." 1

In February, 1863, the regiment, with the Reserves, were sent to the defence of Washing- ton, and remained there till late in April, when it again moved to the Rappahannock. During the progress of the great battle of Chancellors- ville, which occurred a few days later, it was held in readiness for service, and remained for many hours under a heavy artillery fire, but did not become actually engaged. After the battle it recrossed the river with the army, and reoccu- pied its old camp near the Rappahannock until the advance of the army to Gettysburg. In that great conflict the regiment fought with con- spicuous bravery on the 1st and 3d of July, not being called into action, but held in reserve during the struggle of the 2d. Its losses in the entire battle were one linndred and forty- one killed and wounded and eighty-four missing (most of whom were made prisoners)-a total of two hundred and twenty-five. Among the wounded were Colonel Cummins and Cap- tain Charles R. Evans, of the Union County company, and Lieutenant Andrew G. Tucker, of the same company, the wounds of the colonel and Lieutenant Tucker both proving to be mortal.

During the remainder of the year 1863 the regiment took part in the general movements of the army (including the advance against the en- cmy's strong position at Mine Run), but was not actively engaged in battle. Its winter-quar- ters were made near Culpeper, Va.

On the 4th of May, 1864, it left its winter- quarters and moved across the Rapidan on the campaign of the Wilderness. At noon on the 5th it became hotly engaged, and fought with determination, holding its ground stubbornly until near night, when it was forced to retire. Its losses were heavy. On the 6th it again saw heavy fighting along the line of the Gordons- ville road. On the 7th it moved to Laurel Hill, and held position there until the 13th, when it moved to Spottsylvania Court-House. There it remained a week, throwing up defenses, and a great part of the time under heavy artillery

fire. On the 21st it again moved on, and in its advance southward fought at North Anna, Bethesda Church and Tolopotomoy, arriving at Cold Harbor on the 6th of June. Moving thence across the Chickahominy to the James, it crossed that river on the 16th and took posi- tion in front of Petersburg. Its first fight there was on the 18th, on which occasion it succeeded in dislodging the enemy in its front, and held the ground thus gained. It took part in two actions on the line of the Weldon Railroad, also in that at Peebles' Farm (September 30th), and others during the operations of the summer and fall. On the 6th of February, 1865, it fought and suffered considerable loss in the action of Dabney's Mills.

Breaking its winter camp on the 30th of March, it participated in the assault on the ene- my's works on the Boydton plank-road, and again fought at Five Forks on the 1st of April, suffering severe loss. Eight days later General Lee surrendered at Appomattox, and the brig- ade of which the One Hundred and Forty-sec- ond formed a part moved to Burkesville Sta- tion as a guard to stores and other property cap- tured from the enemy. After a stay of two weeks at Burkesville the regiment was ordered to Petersburg, and moving thence by way of Richmond to Washington, D. C., was there mustered out of service on the 29th of May, 1865.

ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIXTH REGI- MENT, NINE MONTHS' SERVICE (Drafted Mil- itia) .- Of this regiment several companies were from Lehigh County and the remaining three from Monroe. They rendezvoused at Philadel phia in November, 1862, and a regimental or- ganization was effected with the following field officers : Ambrose A. Lechter, colonel ; George Peekington, lieutenant-colonel ; Wm. Schoon- over, major. Soon after its organization the regiment was sent to Norfolk, Va., where for a month it was subjected to careful instruction and discipline. The regiment was selected to accompany General Foster in his expedition for the reinforcement of the army operating upon the defences of Charleston. Proceeding to Newbern, N. C., it was incorporated with Fos- ter's forces, and on the 27th of January, 1863, set sail, arriving at Hilton Head on the 5th of February. While in the Department of the South the regiment was not engaged in any hostile operations, but was principally employed in fatigue duty upon the fortification and in provost duty. Soon after the expiration of its term of duty it returned North and was sent to Philadelphia, where, on the 17th and 18th of August, it was mustered out of service.

Following are the rosters of the Monroe companies of the regiment :
