It is claimed that Manchester township was the banner township of the State, in proportion to its population in sending men to the Union Army during the Rebellion-the population in 1860 was shown by the census to be nine hun- dred and eighty-eight. The largest vote that was ever polled in Manchester township prior to the Rebellion was one hundred and ninety-four, and from a population containing one hundred and ninety-four votes there went to the army one hundred and twenty-one men (exclusive of reinlistments). Of that number just one hundred returned and the names of the other twenty-one are upon the granite monu- ment which was erected in the park at Hones- dale to the memory of the fallen soldiers of Wayne County. Of the men that returned, many were maimed and crippled-George White and Obadiah Palmer each suffered the loss of a limb.
The turnout from some families was remark- able. Samuel Price had four sons, all went, only one returned ; Righteons Reeves, four sons, all went and the father too ; of the Teeples there were eight adults, six went, one was killed ; J. F. Gifford had three sons, all went, one was killed ; A. B. Hathaway had four sons, three went, two were killed. But exceeding all
others were the Lesters. The family of Daniel Lester consisted of eleven sons, of whom two were drafted and nine entered the army by en- listment, and the old father, his hair well inter- mingled with gray and nearly seventy years of age, went home displeased and disappointed when the recruiting officer (Captain Parker) re- fused his offer to enlist. One of the boys- Warner Lester-was in the New York Thirty- eighth Regiment at the first battle of Bull Run; six other residents of Manchester town- ship were in that battle. At that early period of the Rebellion there was but little recruiting done outside the Honesdale company, and the seven men who were in the first Bull Run fight went down the river as raftsmen, and returning by New York, enlisted there. The explanation of the draft in Manchester is that there being no recruiting station in that vicinity, the men went to other places-two went to Honesdale, some were in the New York Fiftieth, New York One Hundred and Forty-third and New York Fifty-sixth-and not taking pains to be credited to Manchester, left the town liable to draft.

Following is as complete a list as can be ob- tained of the soldiers from Wayne County-the full companies being given first in the order of the regiment numbers.
THIRTY-SECOND REGIMENT (THIRD RE- SERVES) .- The Third Reserve Regiment was or- ganized from companies recruited in Berks County, in the city of Philadelphia and Wayne County, for the three months' service, but failed of aceeptance. On the 30th of May these com- panies rendezvoused in Philadelphia and pro- ceeded to the camp near Easton, where a regi- mental organization was effected by the choice of the following officers : Horatio G. Sickle, of Philadelphia, colonel ; William S. Thompson, of Bueks County, lieutenant-colonel ; Richard H. Woolworth, of Philadelphia, major.
On July 22d it moved to Harrisburg,
where, on the 27th, it was mustered into the United States service, and assigned to the Re- serve Corps, as the Third Regiment. It was ordered to Washington and remained there un- til August 2d, when it was ordered to Tenally- town. General McCall, the commander of the Reserves, had directed a camp to be formed there for all the Reserves. In the organization of the corps, the Third was assigned to the Second Brigade, Brigadier-General George G. Meade. On the 9th of October the regiment moved over the Potomac and encamped near Langley. On March 10th they broke camp and marched to the vicinity of Alexandria. On April 10th the Third, with the brigade, was taken to Manassas Junction, and remained there until the 18th, when it marched to Cattell's Sta- tion, arriving opposite Fredericksburg May 2d. In the movement across the river and the occupancy of Fredericksburg and the ad- vance towards Richmond the Third partici- pated. The Reserves were ordered to the sup- port of Mcclellan, and on the 11th arrived at White House. On the 13th the Third joined the division at Dispatch Station. The army was now lying in front of Richmond. The Reserves were the first to feel the shock of battle, and their loss in killed, wounded and missing was one hundred. At Gaines' Mill the regiment's loss in killed, wounded and missing was eighty-six. General Meade being wound- ed, Colonel Sickle succeeded to the command, Lieut .- Colonel Thompson commanding the regi- ment. In the battle which ensued at Malvern Hill the following day the Third was held in reserve, and suffered no loss. With the Army of the Potomac they re-enforced Pope in Vir- ginia.
On the 27th they marched through Warren- ton, and the following day crossed the country toward Manassas Junction. Latein the afternoon it was ascertained the enemy had removed from Manassas The division marched to the left on Sudly Spring road, but arrived too late to par- ticipate in the battle fought by the forces of King and Stonewall Jackson. Ou the 29th the division was formed and moved to meet the enemy. In the engagement the Third was held as a reserve, but suffered considerable loss. In

the engagement which followed, the next day, the loss of the Third was severe. Ou the fol- lowing day occurred the bloody battle of Chantilly, resulting in a loss in killed and wounded of fifty-one men. On the 26th of October the Third, with the division, marched to Warrenton, and remained there until the 17th of November, when it re- moved to Brooks Station, remaining until December 8th, when they joined in the movements against Fredericksburg. In the engagement which ensued on the 13th the Third suffered a loss of one hundred and twenty-eight killed, wounded and missing. On the 8th of February it moved to the defense of Washington and was attached to the Twenty- second Army Corps. Here it remained with the rest of the Second Brigade until January, 1864, when, with the Fourth Regiment, both under the command of General Sickle, it was ordered to duty in West Virginia. Upon its return from the campaign in West Virginia it proceeded to Philadelphia, and was mustered out of service on the 17th of June, 1864.

THIRTY-FIFTH REGIMENT (SIXTH RESERVE). -The Thirty-fifth Regiment, otherwise known as the Sixth Pennsylvania Reserve, was ren- dezvoused at Camp Curtin, its formation being commenced in the latter part of April, 1861, and its organization being completed on the 22d of June, by the appointment of field offi- cers, viz. : Colonel, W. Wallace Ricketts; Lieu- tenant-Colonel, William M. Penrose; Major, Henry J. Madill.
Being armed and equipped at the camp of organization, the regiment moved thence, on the 11th of July, to Greencastle, Pa., where it oc- cupied a camp named Camp Biddle, remaining there until the 22d, when it was moved by rail- way transportation, via Baltimore, to Wash- ington, D. C., arriving there on the 24th. At its camp, east of the Capitol, it was mustered into the United States service on the 27th, and was then marched to the camp of the Pennsyl- vania Reserves, at Tenallytown, Md., where it was assigned to duty in Colonel John S. Mc- Calmont's (Third) brigade of the Reserve Di- vision, under General George A. McCall. It remained at the Tenallytown camp until the 9th of October, when, with the other regiments of the division, it crossed the Chain Bridge into Virginia, and encamped near Langley's, at "Camp Pierpoint," where it remained more than five months, during which time (Decem- ber 20th) it fought its first battle at Dranes- ville, on which occasion the Sixth held the centre of the line, and behaved with the utmost steadiness and gallantry. On the 10th of March, 1862, it moved with the Army of the Potomac, remained a few days at Hunter's Mills, Va. ; then moved to Alexandria, Va., where it remained several days ; then moved to
Bailey's Cross-Roads, and thence, in turn, to Fairfax Court-House, Manassas Junction, Cat- lett's Station and Falmouth, where it arrived on the 3d of May, and encamped a mile north of the town.
The regiment remained encamped on the Rappahannock about six weeks, and on the 13th of June embarked for White House, on the Pamunkey River, arriving there on the 14th and becoming a part of the Army of the Poto- mac, under General Mcclellan. It was ad- vanced from White House to Tunstall's Sta- tion, on the York River Railroad, and remained there until the disastrous battle of Gaines' Mill compelled the retirement of the Union troops and the destruction of the vast quantity of stores which had been accumulated at White House. At that place, on the 28th of June, the Sixth embarked, and, proceeding down the York River to Fortress Monroe, and thence up the James to Harrison's Landing, reached that place on the 1st of July. On the 4th it was transferred to Sinclair's (First) brigade of Sey- mour's (Reserve) division of the Fifth Army Corps, under General Fitz-John Porter. It remained on the Peninsula, but without being engaged in any fighting of consequence, until the night of the 14th of August, when it moved by transport down the James, and thence up the Potomac River to Acquia Creek, arriving there on the morning of the 16th, and proceeding without delay from that place, by rail, to its old post at Falmouth. On the 21st it marched from Falmouth for Kelly's Ford, on the Rap- pahannock, reaching its destination at dark on the 22d. Again, on the 23d, it moved on to Rappahannock Station, and on the 24th en- camped near the Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, on the Warrenton road, where it re- mained until the 27th, when it marched with the division, and at night bivouacked at New Baltimore. The next day, on its march, it be- came slightly engaged with the enemy near Gainesville, but no battle resulted, and its night bivouac was made on the Alexandria turnpike.
On the 29th and 30th of August the Sixth participated gallantly in the battles in the vi- cinity of Groveton, Va., and the old Bull Run

battle-ground, charging the Confederate posi- tion with the greatest bravery, driving the enemy and holding the ground gained. The loss of the regiment was thirty-six killed and wounded and eight missing. The regimental colors were shot from the staff in this memora- ble charge.
From the field of this engagement the regi- ment marched to a bivouac at Cut Run, where it remained on picket during the 31st and until nearly night of the 1st of September, when it took up the line of march for Fairfax Court- House. On the following day it moved to Hunter's Chapel and afterwards to Munson's Hill. On the 6th of September it moved to the Potomac, which it crossed by the Long Bridge, and, marching through Washington, proceeded, by way of various towns in Mary- land, to South Mountain, where it occupied the right of the Union line in the desperate battle which was fought along its declivity from base to summit on the 14th of Sep tember.
"Night was fast approaching, and the battle raged furiously for many miles to the left. Companies A and B, Captains Ent and Roush, were ordered out to seize and hold the knob of the mountain immediately in front. They marched from the wood, passed the enemy's flank, and firing into it one volley, made straight for the mountain-top, When within one hundred yards they received the fire of the enemy, protected by a ledge of rocks which capped the sum- mit. Immediately, Companies C, D and E were or- dered to their support, and, forming to the left of the first two, the line advanced at a charge. The num- bers of the enemy were largely in excess of those of the Sixth, but the five companies, restrained dur- ing the early part of the battle, dashed like a steed released from his curb against the very muzzles of their guns. The enemy, staggered by the impetuosity of the charge, yielded the first ledge of rocks, and re- treated to the second, from behind which he delivered a most galling fire, causing the advance to reel under the shock and threatening its annihilation. The rebel line to the left, which had been passed by these com- panies, had, in the mean time, been compelled to yield to the persistent hammering of the other regi- ments of the Reserves. The cheers of the brigade were distinctly heard by botlı, when the rebels, broken in spirit by the severity of their losses and the deter- mined front presented by the Reserves, fled down the mountain-side. These five companies liad performed an important service, and driven before them in con- fusion the Eighth Alabama Regiment. The loss was
