EIGHTY-FOURTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOL- UNTEERS.
The Eighty-fourth Regiment was recruited under the direction of William G. Murray, in the counties ' of Blair, Lycoming, Clearfield, Dauphin. Columbia, Cameron, and Westmoreland. The men rendezvou-ed at Camp Cros-man. near Huntingdon, and subse- quently at Camp Curtin. Recruiting commenced early in August, and towards the close of October an organization wa- effieted by the choice of the follow- ing field-officers: William G. Murray, colonel ; Thomas C. Macdowell, lieutenant-colonel; Walter Barrett, major.
Lient. Muhlenberg, was posted, confronting the enemy. Upon his arrival Col. Murray assumed command of the entire force, and at four o'clock on the morning of the 4th advanced to the eminence beyond the town and deployed in line of battle. He soon learned that Stonewall Jackson, with a well-ap- pointed force of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. greatly superior to his own, was in his front. At eight o'clock Jackson began to press upon him, driving in his skir- mishers. By skillful manwuvring, preserving a boll front, he kept the enemy at bay until near nightfall, when he fell back to Hancock, with the loss of hut one man, drowned in ero-sing the stream. During the night Gen. Lander arrived and assumed com- mand, and Jackson, who had approached and was shelling the town, sent Col. Ashby, on the morning of the 5th, with a flag of truce, to demand its imme- diate surrender. Lander defiantly refused, and having been reinforced with Parrott guns, a spirited cannon- ade ensued, which was kept up during the entire day following. But this demonstration on the part of Jackson was to cover his movement upon Romney, and Lander, as soon as he discovered his antagonist's pur- pose, hastened away to secure its evacuation, which he lid, bringing his forces into Cumberland. The Eighty- fourth made a forced march to the latter place, ar- riving on the 12th. Jackson having been foiled in his expedition to Romney by the rapid movement of Lander, returned to Winchester, and the Eighty- fourth was posted successively during the winter at the North Branch Bridge. at the South Branch Bridge, and at Paw Paw, points along the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. On the 2d of March Gen. Lander died, the command devolving ou Col. Kimball, and soon after the regiment moved on to Winchester. Here Gen. Shields took command of the division, and about the middle of the month drove the enemy up the valley. four miles beyond Strasburg, skirmishing with his rear-guard, who destroyed bridges and obstructed the way as he went. As Shields returned to Winchester, Jackson, reinforced, followed closely on his track, the Eighty-fourth marehing on the 20th from its eamp near Strasburg, without a halt, to Winchester, At five p.M. on the 22d it returned at double-quick through the town, and moved to the support of the Union cavalry, posted at the west end, which the enemy was engaged in shelling. Soon after the regi- ment arrived upon the ground Gen. Shields was struck by a fragment of shell and disabled, the command again devolving on Col. Kimball. The Eighty-fourth was ordered to fix bayonet- in anticipation of a charge, but the enemy soon after retreated, and was driven about two miles in the direction of Kern-town. where the regiment bivouarked for the night. On the fol- lowing morning it was engaged in laying out the ground for a camp, when the enemy, at eleven A. M., attacked, and it was immediately ordered into line in
On the 31st of December the regiment was ordered to Hancock, Md., arriving Jan. 2, 1862.

GENERAL HISTORY.
infantry and artillery gained a foothold upon the flank, behind rocks and a stone wall, where he seri- ously threatened the integrity of the Union line. This position the Eighty-fourth was ordered to charge. Forming upon the high ground near the Kernstown road, it moved gallantly through an open valley and up towards the wooded eminence, where were the guns. As it gained the ere-t the rebel infantry rose up from behind rocks and the fence where they had been concealed, and poured upon it withering volleys. The fire was returned with good effect ; but, standing without shelter and at close range, it was fearfully decimated. Col. Murray's horse was struck, when he dismounted and advanced on foot. A moment later, while at the head of his meu, and leading them on for the capture of the guns, he was himself struck in the forehead by a minie-ball and instantly killed. At this juncture, being without a field-officer, with two of it- captains fallen, the regi- ment fell into some confusion, and a part of it fell back under the shelter ot the crest. The remainder. led by Lieut. George Zinn, taking shelter behind trees, kept up a steady fire. At this juncture the Fifth Ohio came up on the right, and, with other troops, forced the enemy from his position. A gen- eral advance was ordered along the entire line, and the foe was driven in utter rout. Three hundred prisoners, two guns, four cai-sons, and a thousand stand of small-arms were taken. Out of two hundred and sixty of the Eighty-fourth who went into battle twenty-three were killed and sixty-seven wounded. Col. Murray, Capt. Patrick Gallagher, and Lieut. Charle- Reem were killed.
After the battle the Eighty-fourth, under command of Maj. Barrett, was a -- igned to provo-t duty in the town of Berryville, where it remained until the 2d of May. It then joined in the general advance up the valley, and passing through Strasburg and Front Royal, proceeded to Fredericksburg. Scarcely had it reached its destination, when it was ordered back to Front Royal, where it arrived on the 30th. On. the following day a smart skirmish was had on the Winchester road, after which the brigade, - the Fourth of Shields' divisjon,-commanded by Col. Carroll. moved on towards Port Republic arriving on the 8th of June. "We charged," say- an officer of the Eighty-fourth, "what we took to be a wagon-train, but soon found that it consisted of about thirty pieces of artillery with wagon cover-, which gave is a warm reception. The next day, June 9th, the enemy came out in large numbers, and advanced to the attack. He came np in nine style, and fought hard to turn our right flank, but was repulsed with great loss. While we were following up our advantage, however, his forces outflanked us on the left, and came in on our rear. We then faced about, and the Third Brigade of our division coming up, we had them between two fire-, and they soon fled to the mountains. He had by this time reformed his lines in front, and was
