FORTY-SIXTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUN- TEERS.
Rendezvousing at Camp Curtin, the regiment was organized on the 1st of September, 1861, by the se- lection of the following field-officers: Joseph F. Knipe, of Dauphin County, who had served during the three months' campaign on the staff of Gen. E. C. Williams, colonel ; James L. Selfridge, from captain of Company i
C, lieutenant-colonel ; Arnold C. Lewis, major. On the 22d of September. Maj. Lewis, while attempting to enforce discipline in a case of insubordination, was shot and instantly killed by a private of Company I. who afterwards suffered the extreme penalty of the law for his offense. Capt. J. A. Matthews, of Com- pany A, was promoted to major.
Upon the resignation of Gen. Patterson from the command of the Army of the Shenandoah, Gen. Banks was appointed to succeed him. His forees were posted on the Upper Potomac, along the Maryland shore, in the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry. Soon after its organization, the Forty-sixth was ordered to Gen. Banks' command. Upon its arrival it was assigned to the First Brigade ( under Gen, S. W. Crawford) of the Second Division of his eorps. Little of interest, save the usual drill and camp duty and an occasional skirmish with the enemy, occurred until the opening of the spring campaign. In January, 1862, Stone- wall Jackson, with a well-appointed force of all arms, having for some time occupied the Shenandoah Val- ley, had pushed out as far west as Hancock, where he was met and driven baek by Gen. Lander. Lander pursued but soon after died, and was succeeded in command by Gen. Shields, who continued the pursuit to Winchester. On the 24th of February, Gen. Banks commenced crossing the Potomac at Harper's Ferry, and occupied, in turn, Leesburg, Charlestown. Mar- tin-burg, and Winchester. Shields continued the pursuit of Jackson as far as New Market, whence he returned to Winchester. In the mean time Banks had di-patched one division of his eorps to Centre- ville, and had himself departed for Washington. Considering himself superior to the Union force re- maining, Jackson turned upon Shields, and a severe engagement ensued in the neighborhood of Kerns- town. Three companies of the Forty-sixth, under command of Maj. Matthews, arrived npon the field in time to participate in the conflict. Jackson was beaten, and Banks returning gave chase, which wa- continued to Woodstock. In this pursuit the Forty- sixth was conspicuous, Col. Knipe manifesting his usnal enterprise and daring.
Jackson, who was fearful of a union of the forees of Fremont and Banks, marched hastily across the mountain to MeDowell, where he encountered the head of Fremont's column, under Milroy and Schenck. and defeated it, inflicting considerable loss. Return-
Company D of this regiment, recruited in Dauphin County, had been in the three months' service. The : ing with his characteristic celerity of movement, and other companies, a- a general thing, served in the first campaign, and were recruited in Allegheny, Berks, Potter, Luzerne, and Northumberland Coun- ties.
masking his progress by his cavalry, he fell suddenly upon Col. Kenley, occupying an outpost at Front Royal, and, routing his small force, was making for the rear of Banks' army, before the latter wa- aware of an enemy's presence in his front. Turning his trains towards the Potomac, and dispersing the rebel cavalry which appeared upon his rear. Banks con- menced his retreat down the valley. Finding that he must make a stand to save his trains, he drew up his little army in line of battle in front of Winchester,

GENERAL HISTORY.
and with an entire force of only about seven thousand men prepared to meet Jackson with not less than twenty thousand. For five hours the unequal con- text was maintained, the Forty-sixth holding its ground with unexampled coolness and bravery. At length, finding himself outflanked and likely to be overpowered, he withdrew and made his way to the Potomac, where his trains had already arrived and crossed in safety. In this engagement the Forty- sixth lo-t four killed, ten wounded, and three taken prisoners. The loss to the Union force in withdraw- ing through the streets of the town was considerable, the inhabitants, both male and female, vying with each other in ponring forth insults and deadly mis- siles. "My retreating column," says Gen. Banks in his official report, " suffered serious loss in the streets of Winchester, males and females vied with each other in increasing the number of their victims by firing from the houses, throwing hand grenades. hot water, and missiles of every de-cription."
Upon the appointment of Gen. Pope to the com- mand of the Army of Northern Virginia, the seat- tered forces upon the Rappahannock, the shenan- doah, and in West Virginia were concentrated and were organized in three corps, commanded respec- tively by Sigel (formerly Fremont;, Banks. and MeDowell. On the 7th of August, 1862. Crawford's brigade was stationed at Culpeper Court-House. The divisions of Ewell and Stonewall Jack-on, fol- lowed by that of Hill, a force twenty-five thousand strong, had already arrived upon the Rapidan. and had commenced crossing. driving back the Cuion cavalry. On the 8th, Crawford was ordered forward towards Cedar Mountain, and on the following morn- ing Banks followed with the rest of his corps. con- sisting of seven thousand men. Jackson, having pushed forward his columns with celerity, had taken position with his artillery on Cedar Mountain. at an elevation of two hundred feet above the surrounding plain, but had kept his infantry ma-ked under the shadow of the forests. Four guns had been advanced farther to the front and lower down the side of the mountain. These, with the more elevated ones. opened on Crawford's brigade, and at five o'clock P.M. the Union forces in two columns advanced to the attack. The position of the Forty-sixth fell opposite the enemy's advanced pieces, and upon these the men charged with desperate valor. But before reaching them they had to pass an open field, now covered with shocks of full-ripened wheat. Here they were fear- fully exposed. and the enemy's artillery, and his strong line of infantry concealed from view. poured in a merciless storm of shot and shell. Three times was it led to the charge across that fatal plain. when Col. Knipe feil severely wounded, and the reziment was withdrawn. " Had victory been possible." says Greeley. "they would have won it. . . . The best blood of the Union was poured out like water. . . . Gen. Crawford's brigade came out of the fight a mere . dered a retrograde movement and a concentration
