" During saturday night, as the troops remained in their advanced position, they could see the flash of the rebel cannon across the river and the flight of the shells thrown apparently to this side, though not reaching our lines. On Sunday morning Company K, which, as before stated, had remained in their old position all night, rejoined the regi- ment about ten o'clock. They were immediately ordered to the extreme front again, and, crossing some coru-fields, reached the brow of a hill some distance to the left of the turnpike. From this point half of the company were deployed aud sent out upon the pirket line, extending to the left for perhaps half a mile. It was a lovely antnomal morning, and at this time everything was still around ny. sheltered, as we were, in a pleasant wouds, some of us were hoping that we might enjoy a quiet Sabbath, free from the excitements of the two preceding days. In a short time, however, one of the advanced pickets came rushing in, iu breathless baste, with the tidings that a large force, supposed to be rebels, were advancing along a road which run in front and to the left of us, leading probably to Williamsport. Clouds of dust had been seen rising along the road, and the force seemed to the composed of cavalry, artillery, and infantry. A messenger was namiriliately sent to the com- manding officer of the troop, in our rear, aud in i few moments we saw the effects of the news upon the long line which stretched over the felds behind us. The excitement of the day before was renewed. The drums beat and the struggling line assumed a more compact shape.

GENERAL HISTORY.
l'rewently a number of mounted officer-, accompanied by orderlies, rode rapidly just os over the fields, going out to the front of our line of rickets. We waited anxiously for further news, and in i short time they were seen returning, and word passed along the line that the troops a.Ivancing, instead of rebels, were touch's division of MeClellan's army, on their way to Williamsport.
"The tulings were very satisfactory, for they out only u-sured us of the presence of veterans between lis and the rebels, but put an end, for the present at least, to the danger of an invasion of Pennsylvania, and showed us that our brief campaign was ended. Company K was at once ordered to its place in the regiment, and in a short time the regiment itself was in motion on its return march to Pennsylvania. And then began a long and weary trump which some of us at least thought might have been spared us. Wraried with the exciting scenes of the pa-t forty-eight hours, a quiet rest during the remainder of the sunday after- noou in some shady spot would have been very grateful to the men, and prepared us for a long match as was needful on Monday. But instead of this we were, without lilting, parched back through Hirerste wn, and out on the road leading towards Chambersburg. All the long, bot afternoon the march continued along the dry and dusty road, until abont eight o'clock in the evening we reached the vicinity of Greencastle, a distance from our starting-point of about fourteen miles. Here we en- camped In an open field near the town, and the wearied meu were glad to throw themselves down anywhere to get a little rest and sleep. The writer was so fortunate as to gain admission to a barn adjacent to the camp-ground, where, stretched upon the bay, be enjoyed the best night's reat he had had since the regiment left Harrisburg.
" All day Monday we remained encamped in the open field beneath the burning sun, without even a tree to shield us from its rays. Little shelter-tents were put up during the day, in each of which two or three men could sit or lie down, but not -tand erect. The men, however, were allowed to scatter, and miany of us went into Greencastle, where we en- joyed the privilege of eating dinner once more at a table. At the nine o'clock drum-beat we turned in, as we supposed for the night, but in about an hour were roused again and ordered to strike tents and march to the cars. At Greencastle we embarked about midnight in freight cars, and started for bome. Our progress was very slow, as the road was blocked up with troup- and provision-trans, and just before daylight our train and another collided in the suburbs of Shippensburg, smashing the locomotives and knocking many the men off their seats. The good people of the town were very hosjutalde, kindly opening their bouses to us, and furnishing the entire regiment with a good breakfast.
"The accident detained us until noon, when we starte lagiin, an l ran as far as Carlisle. Here we were kept waiting until aix o'clock in the evening, when the train got in motion once more, dropping companies at Mechanicsburg and shiremanstown, and about hilf-pist seven the Harrisburg companie- were safely landed at the foot of State Street Here we found quite a crowd awaiting us, who greeted us with cheers, and really seemed glad that we had not been goblded up by the rebels and carried to Southern prison pens. It was a pleasant thing thus to be welcomed by our fellow-citizens, even though we hal shed no blood in their defense, and were returning with unbroken unmbers. We had at least helped to maintain the honor of the state, and espe- cially of its capital city, by responding promptly to the call of the Governor and forming part of the first regiment which had gone forth to the border when danger seemed impending. Now that it was all over, and we had safely reached our homes, we probably felt a little self-satisfaction as we looked back upon the events of the past ten days, during part of which we hul stood side by side with the Maryland brigade, some ten miles beyond the Lorder. If so, the reader will par- don us, more especially if be be one of those who refused to come at the Governor's call and remained quietly in the security of his home, per- haps to speak jestingly of the Pennsylvania militia."

SIXTH REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA MILITIA.
From an interesting sketch of the orderly sergeant of Company K we glean the following relating to this command and its service in the war :
" Arriving nt Harri-burg, we were enrolled as Company K, Sixth Regi- ment l'ennsylvania Militia, J. Armstrong, colonel. Same details con- cerning the orginization of the regiment were not completed. Delay I was experienced at the arsenal on account of the great rush for arms. · We were obliged to nwait oni turn, ordered iuto quarters, our company in one of the school-houses of the city, where we remained until the morning of the 13th, the pitristic citizens meanwhile taking care t ist we did not suffer for want of provisions. We made good use of our time drilling, and provided ourselves with rubber and worden blankets, and other necessaries which the state why not prepared to furnish On the morning of the lith, about eight o'lock, we were matched to the arsenal, where each soldier received a musket and twenty rounds of ammunition. Immediately after receiving these, the regiment was formed on Fourth Street, in the rear es the capitol, preparatory to marching to the cars, which awaited ue on the Cumberland Valley Rai !- road. Here we stond for the space of an hour or more, holding no rom- munication with the concourse of people which lined the western slope of Capitol Hill, many of whom had come to see ns off and bid naa la-t farewell, but were prevented from approaching by certain sabred vet- erans on horsebar':, who galloped incessantly up and down the lines. and who, judging from their force countenances. would have deenpi- tated any venturesomie spirit daring to cross their path. Many of this throng, particularly the female portion, were weeping, probably at the thought of the terrible fate which awaited those unfortunate rebels who might be called upon tu stand against Ils in battle. Here and there could be discerned the sweet and kindly face of mother, sister, wife, or sweetheart. Their presence cheered as well as saddened our departure. " Abont eleven o'clock we lurar-led the cars, and were soon on our way to the front. The train was conducted of freight-cary of various descrip- tions, but principally of the box pattern, ur-tight everywhere excepting at the two sidedours. Towards evening, September 15th, the train reached Chambersburg, and the soldiers were quartered for the night in Farions parts of the town, our company with some others in the court- house. Next morning we took up the line of march towar 1+ Hagers- town. The weather was very warm and the road dusty. After auch- ing what seemed to us abunt ten miles, fint in reality ogly three, we arrived at Camp Melhore, a beautiful piece of winellind near the road. Here we were batted until the First Regiment, Col. McCormick's, marched out of camp, when the sixth near heil in and took their places. Space was assigned each company, and we were ordered to stack army

and make ourselves as comfortable as circumstances would permit. Many of the companies found booths already constructed on their grounds, but on the space assigned to Company K there were no im- provements. A large force was, therefore, detailed to bring in mails and corn-fodder, and construct a wigwam large enough to accranmiodate the whole company. The men worked with a will, and before night a very comfortable and spa ions wigwara was erected, and the ground within littered with straw obtained from n neighboring barn. In the mean time the cook had prepared supper, and we partook of our first meal of hard-tack, mess.pork, and army coffee. Most of us had never seen hard- tack before, and were at a loss how to manage it. Fortunately our conk and second sergeant had been in the three months' service, and were able to enlighten us.
"The following order, issued soon after we arrived in camp, will serve to show how our time was spent:
"* 6TH REGT. PA. MILITIA, "'CAMP MCCLURE.
" Captains of the s. veral companies will order squad drill by company from 9.30 to 11.30 A.M.
"'Sqnad drill in the afternoon from 1.30 to 3, and company drill from
3.30 to 5 o'clock. Dress parade at 5.30 P.M.
"' Morning reports must be made to these headquarters before 7.30 A M. daily. By order.
".J. ARMSTRONG, " ' Colonel Commanding.'
"On the evening of the 16th, Capt. James D. Dougherty's company of artillery arrived in camp, and took position on the low ground along the creek which skirted the edge of the camp. This was a well-appointed company of four guns ; several of the officers and some of the men were said to be experienced artilleriste. Their horses, however, were noustd to the service, nod some of them balky, so that it required con-iderable skill and much patience to convey the pieces from camp to the drilling- ground on the heights above. We were glad to see this company, for theirs were the only familiar faces in camp since the departure of the First Regiment.
" On the 17th we heard the booming cannon, which continued all day long, and seemingly at no great distance, but we could get no news, yet we felt confident that a great battle was in progress ; all else was cou- jecture and uncertainty. That night, about ten o'clock, the regiment received orders to be ready to march at a moment's notice. Our com- pany was ready, and formed at once in front of the wigwam. We stood in position probably an hour, awaiting orders from headquarters. Nooe came, however, and the captain, who was a humane man, ordered us to break ranks, and each man make himself as comfortable as he conl.l, without unpacking his knapsack. We sat down among the trees, with our guns in our harel-, passing a tiresome and sleepless night. To- wards atoruing more definite news of the battle was received, and at daylight the order for a forward movement was countermanded. It was intimated that the emergency was about over, and that the next order would probably be one to go home.
"On the morning of the 23d, we were ordered to the railroad and embarked for home. After a long and telivus ride in freight-car- we reached Harrisburg towards evening, and encamped for the night on Capitol Hill. The next day we ' turned in our guns' (the ainmuni- tion having been expended shouting miark in Camp McClure), and were discharged, having been in the service exactly eleven days."
