coming down in such numbers as to make a resist- ance out of the question, and the general gave the order to fall back. Now commenced a running fight. Ile followed us for several miles, and kept his bat- teries at work in a manner that showed that he was familiar with the route. His cavalry made repeated charges, but was repulsed by the steady fire of our in- fantry. We finally came upon the First and Second Brigades, drawn up in line, with Gen. Shields in command, when the enemy gave over the pursuit and rapidly retired."
From Port Republic the division marched to Alex- andria, whence the First and Second Brigades pro- ceeded to the Peninsula, and the Third and Fourth went into camp near the town. The campaign had been a severe one, the marche- long and difficult, the men poorly clad, and much of the time sub-isting on scanty rations. On the 25th of June, Samuel MI. Bowman, of Columbia County, late a major in the Fourth Hinoi- Cavalry, who had seen service under Grant and Sherman in the Western army. was com- missioned colonel, Maj. Barrett was promoted to lieu- tenant-colonel. and Adjt. Thoma- H. Craig to major. In July the regiment broke camp and marched out to join Pope's army. Carroll's brigade was here at- tached to Riekett-' division of MeDowell's corps. In the battle of Cedar Mountain, which occurred on the 9th of August, the regiment was not under fire until after dark, when a few of the enemy's shots and shells reached its ranks. On the 14th it joined in pursuit of the enemy, following him np to the Rapidan. oc- cupying the line of the river until the 19tb, when it retired to the Rappahannock. Here for a week the rebels were held at bay, the Aghting being general along the entire line, for the most part with the artil- lery. As soon as it was a certained that the enemy had turned Pope's right flank, Rickett- division was sent to Thoroughfare Gap. to check the progress of Longstreet's corps on its way to join Jack-on. already at Manassas Junction, in Pope's rear. In the engage- ment which ensued the regiment took little part. On the 20th it moved into position on the right flank of the army, near (froveton, and on the morning of the 30th wa, warmly engaged. It remained upon the field until after dark, and for several hours after the mas- of the army had cro -- ed Bull Run. It was finally charged by a force of the enemy which ap- proached under cover of darkness. Uncertain whether it was friend or foe advancing, Lieut. Alban H. Nixon volunteered to go out and ascertain his true character. He passed the outer picket- without discovery, and soon found him-elf in the very midst of Gen. Pender's south Carolina troops, who were moving upon the Hank of the brigade, and only waiting the signal that its retreat was ent off to move upon and capture it entire. At the peri! of his life Nixon shouted, "They are the enemy, boys !" when a timely retreat was'or- dered, and the greater part of the brigade was snatched from the clutches of Pender's troop -.

having their well-laid plans thus suddenly frustrated, " mits, or what purported to be permits, from Union they threatened Nixon with instant death, and were authorities were used by the enemy to come within our lines. These irregularities were reported and effectnally broken up. only prevented from executing it by a fellow-prisoner, who seized him by the arm and exclaimed, " You will not shoot an unarmed man?" He was spared, and with other officers and men found upon the skirmish line was marched away to Richmond. When the regiment arrived within the defenses of Washington
The part taken by the regiment in the Chancellors- ville campaign is clearly shown by the following ex- tract from Maj. Opp's official report : " After severe marches, occupying a period of five days from the 28th it had searecly seventy men in its ranks fit for duty. . of April, we were brought in contact with the enemy In consequence of its severe losses it was ordered to ; on the afternoon of the 2d of May. In a reconnois- light duty at Arlington Heights, in the command of Gen. Whipple, where it remained during the Antie- tam campaign. In the mean time, through the ex- ertions of patriotic citizens of Pennsylvania, some of whom accepted commissions, headed by Col. Bow- man, about four hundred recruits were added to its ranks, which, with the return of men from hospitais and from furlough, brought its numbers up to the full standard of a regiment.
About the middle of October it proceeded to rejoin the army, near Berlin, and marched with it to the neighborhood of Frederick-burg. In the campaign which followed it continued in Gen. Whipple's in- dependent division. On the second day of the battle of Fredericksburg, Gen. Griffin called on ffen. Whipple for Carroll's brigade. It was promptly ordered for- ward, and moved up through the town under an in- cessant shower of shot and shell. Taking temporary refuge in a cut of the Fredericksburg and Richmond Railroad, the officers dismounted. At the word of command, climbing the steep activity at double- quick, the entire brigade rushed on and soon reached the front. Such was the spirit and daring of the movement that two companie- of the Eighty-fourth reached a point considerably in advance of the line of battle, whence they had to be recalled. During the following night the enemy approached stealthily under cover of darkness. with the expectation of sur- prising and forcing the part of the line where lay the Eighty-fourth and One Hundred and Tenth Pennsyl- vania, but was handsomely repulsed. At the close of the netion the regiment retired with the army. and went into winter-quarters. Gen. Carroll, in hi- official report, says, " Where all did so well it seems invidi- oui to particularice ; but I cannot forbear mentioning Col. S. M. Bowman and Maj. Milton Opp, of the Eighty-fourth, and Lient .- Col. Crowther, of the One Hundred and Tenth, whose coolness, judgment, and unsparing bravery were conspicuous."
Under Gen. Hooker the army was reorganized, and the Eighty-fourth and One Hundred and Tenth Penn- sylvania and Twelfth New Hampshire constituted the Second Brigade of the Third Division ( Whipple'-) of the Third Corp-, and Col. Bowinan was assigned to its command. During the winter the principal duty consisted in guard and picket, in which the regiment shared, frequently meeting parties of the enemy. who made their appearance on the north bank of the river. By elose scrutiny Col. Bowman discovered that per-
sance made by two divisions of the Third Corps to the left of Chancellorsville, and in the vicinity of an old furnace, the regiment was ordered to advance in line, with Hanking companies thrown forward as skirmishers, to unmask the position of the enemy. Under the immediate supervision of Col. Bowman, commanding the brigade, the object was successfully and handsomely attained, with the loss of only two men wounded. On the morning of the 3d, at day- light, we were judiciously and strongly posted to the left of the plank-road, and to the left of Chancellors- ville, as a reserve force. The attack of the enemy had continued but a short time. when one line to the front of us gave way. Col. Bowman's orders to the Eighty-fourth and the One Hundred and Tenth to advance and occupy the position just abandoned were promptly and gallantly executed. The old line, were regained, and held for about an hour and until all the regiments on the right and left of the Eighty- fourth had retired, leaving us in an isolated and ex- posed po-ition. In the hope that reinforcements would arrive. I still hell the men in place, maintain- ing a steady and effective fire to the front. It wa- dis- covered, however, that a large force of the enemy had succeeded, by making an extensive detour under cover of a dense wood, in gaining our rear, where he was supported by a vigorous enfilading fire from -everal guns planted on an eminence to our front and left. It became obvious that to remain was equivalent to capture in a body, while to retreat was perilous in the extreme. The latter alternative wa- adopted. The retreat was executed in good order, but not without heavy lo-ses and severe fighting. In numerous in- stances the men clubbed their muskets in hand-to- hand encounters. Parties who had been overpowered. seizing opportune moments, took up guns at hand, demanded and obtained the surrender of many of their captors. Lieut. Farley, of Company F, who had been captured in the strife, headed a number of our men, and succeeded in extricating himself, and in capturing one captain, two lieutenants. and twenty-five men. These, with five men captured be- fore the retreat began, made an aggregate of thirty- three rebel prisoner- taken by the regiment. Our own los-es were necessarily heavy from the pecu- liarity of the situation. Of three hundred and ninety- one officers and men engaged, two hundred and nine- teen were killed, wounded, and missing. Capt. Jacob Peterman was among the killed, and Capt. C. G.

GENERAL HISTORY.
Jackson, Lients. William Hayes, Albert Steinman. John R. Ross, George S. Good, and Asst .- Surg. John S. Waggoner severely wounded, most of whom fell into the enemy's hands."
The regiment participated in the operations of the brigade on the new line taken up on the morning of the 4th, but without further ca-ualties. Gen. Whipple was killed in this engagement, and the losses of his division were so great that it was broken up and the regiments assigned to other commands. The Eighty-fourth became part of Gen. Carr's brigade of the Second Corps, and was separate.l from the One Hundred and Tenth, with which it had served from its entrance to duty. On the 11th of June, Col. Bow- man was ordered to special duty, and never afterward rejoined the regiment. In December previous, Maj. Milton Opp had been promoted to lientenant-colonel, and Capt. George Zinn to major.
In the Gettysburg campaign. the regiment upon its arrival at Taneytown. MId., was detailed as guard to the corps train, and immediately proceeded with it to Westminster, where it was employed in forwarding supplies to the battle-field, a vitally important duty, but one devoid of heroic ineident.
Upon the return of the army to Virginia, the regi- ment was engaged at Wapping Height- on the 24th of July, in the neighborhood of Thoroughfare Gap on the 10th of October, at Freeman's Ford in a sharp skirmish on the 13th, at Bristoe Station on the 14th and again on the 19th, at Kelly's Ford on the 7th of November, at Jacob's Ford on November 27th, at Lo- cust Grove on the 25th, and at Mine Run on the 30th, losing four men mortally wounded, five slightly wounded, five missing, and one offieer, Lieut. Good, captured. At the conclusion of the campaign the regi- ment returned to the neighborhood of Brandy Sta- tion, where it went into winter-quarters. In January, 1864, a considerable number of the regiment re-en- listed, and were given a veteran furlough. On the 6th of February the enemy crossed the Rapidan in some force, and the Eighty-fourth moved with the, of Petersburg, it was again engaged in the varied du- column sent against him. Ile was driven back and one hundred of his men were taken prisoners.
Upon the opening of the Wilderness campaign the regiment moved with the corps by the Germania Ford, and while marching on south along the Fred- erieksburg road, on the afternoon of the 5th of May, the enemy was discovered moving down in heavy force upon its flank. Line of battle was immediately formed and advanced to meet him, the fighting be- coming general along the whole line. extending for miles. On the following day the fighting was very severe, and proved particularly di-astrou- to the Eighty-fourth, resulting in the loss of many brave men. Lieut .- Col. Opp, while leading in a charge, re- ceived a wound through the right Inny which proved a mortal hurt. Hle was a brave man, and sincerely mourned by his men. On the 7th the regiment moved on towards the left, and on the Sth, near
Spottsylvania Court-House. Company K had a brisk -kirmish. At Pamunkey River, on the 10th, the regi- ment was again engaged, driving the enemy across the stream. On the morning of the 12th it joined in the brilliant charge of Hancock's corps, carrying elab- orate lines of works, and making large captures of men and guns. The following extract from a diary of Capt. L. B. Samp-on will convey some idea of the arduous service of the regiment in this campaign : "May 14th skirmished, moved to the right, skir- mished all the afternoon ; 16th, lay in line all day ; 17th, fought on the picket line, drove the enemy into hi- work> ; 18th, skirmished all day ; 19th, marched to Spott-ylvania Court-House ; 20th, lay in line of battle all day, received a good shelling; 21st, marched to Guiney Station, thence to Bowling Green, thence to Milford Station on the Po River : 22d, re-ted all day ; 23d, marched to the North Anna, charged and carried the rebel works, Company K volunteering to hold a bridge,-a warm time they had of it; 24th, cro-sed the river under a heavy fire : 25th and 26th, rested ; 27th, marched to the Pamunkey and cros-ed at Han- over City ; 20th, skirmished and built works: 30th, lay in the works all day ; 31st, our brigade, Col. Blai-deil commanding, fought the first battle of Pleds- ant Hill ; June 1st, our regiment had a sharp skirmish at Pleasant Hill .- we lost a good many men for a small fight." In this latter engagement. Lieut. Nixon, who had saved the regiment from capture at Bull Run by his timely signal, even at the peril of his life, was again severely wounded with the loss of his left arm.
Such was the general character of the service until the regiment reached the James on the 14th of June, when it crossed and was at once engaged in the oper- ations of the siege of Peter burg. Advancing the lines, building fortifications, and defending the ground gained. interspersed with occasional assaults. filled up the measure of its duty until the 27th of July. when it reerossed the James, and had part in the engage- ment at Deep Bottom. Returning to the lines in front tie- of the siege until the 14th of Angu-t. when it again moved to Deep Bottom, and in the sharp en- gagement which en-ued the enemy was driven out of his work- at Charles City Cross-Roads and some pris- oner- taken. Returning again to Petersburg, it re- sumed its place upon the works. On the 1-t of Octo- ber it moved by rail with the corps to Yellow House. and thence marched to the extreme left of the lines. The first line of the enemy's works was charged and carried. The second line was charged, but the column was repulsed. Lieut .- Col. Zinn had command of the assaulting party, and while urging on his men in the final charge was severely wounded.
In October the men whose terms of service had ex- pired were mustered out, and the veterans and re- cruits were organized in a battalion of four com- panies, which remained on duty until the 18th of January, 1865, when it was consolidated with the

Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania, and thenceforward until the end of the war formed part of that organiza- tion. The battalion participated in the operations of the corps upon the Weldon Railroad on the 27th of October, and again on the 9th of December, in the latter destroying the road as far as Bellefield Station. Upon the consolidation of the battalion with the Fifty-seventh, Lient .- Col. Zinn became colonel, George W. Perkins lieutenant-colonel, and Capt. Samuel Bryan major. The Fifty-seventh was finally mustered out of service on the 29th of June, 1865.
