December 30th, it was detached, and, with the brigade, sent to Wash- ington and thence to Harper's Ferry. Loaded upon open freight cars, without fire, the men suffered intensely from cold. The feet and hands of many were frozen, rendering amputation necessary in two cases, one of which proved fatal.
February 7th, 1864, two hundred and eighty-four of the men, upwards of three-fourths of the regiment, re-enlisted, and were given a veteran furlough. General Wheating gave a letter to Lieutenant Colonel Long, in which occurs this passage: "The great Keystone State has sent few regiments to the field who can return showing as handsome a record as the one you command."
On March 18th, 1864, the regiment, recruited to eight hundred strong, rejoined the brigade at Halltown, and soon afterwards returned to Brandy Station; May 4th, it set out for the Wilderness. In the engage- ments of the 5th and 6th, the regiment lost eighteen killed, and one hundred and forty-four wounded. The 7th was comparatively quiet, but on the 9th, Ioth, and IIth, it was kept busy maneuvering, digging, and fighting. On the morning of the 12th it went into position at the right of the famous "Angle," advancing to within fifty yards of the rebel

works. The regiment here lost seventy-seven killed and wounded in the space of one hour.
It participated in the fierce fighting of the army in its progress to the James, losing men almost daily ; on the 18th of May having thirty killed and wounded. It crossed the Rapidan on the 4th of May, and entered the campaign with seven hundred and fifty men present for duty-as it marched from the trenches of Cold Harbor it had but three hundred and twenty-five of that number left in its ranks; fifteen officers and three hundred and ten men having been either killed or wounded, and ninety-five sick and sent to the rear; but nine men were captured, and these were wounded and left on the field. "From the 4th of May until the 12th of June," says a member of the command, "the Ninety-third marched three hundred and fifty miles, made twenty-six night marches, was fifteen days without regular rations, dug thirty rifle-pits, oftener at night than by day, and fought in eight distinct battles. During all this time there were but five days on which the regiment, or some part of it, was not under fire, and neither officers nor men ever took off their clothes, seldom their accoutrements, day or night. Clothes and shoes worn out were only replaced by those of dead men, and not until it arrived at James river, far from the presence of an enemy did the men enjoy the luxury of a bath."
June 15th the men arrived in front of Petersburg. Heavy skirmishing at once commenced and continued until the afternoon of the 18th, when they pushed close to the enemy's works on the Norfolk Railroad, en- trenching, under a heavy fire, with their bayonets. One officer was here killed and five men wounded. It remained here until the 22nd under an almost constant fire. On the 22nd it supported the Third Division in an attack, losing thirteen killed and wounded. On the 29th it marched to the relief of General Wilson; after tearing up a portion of the Weldon Railroad it returned to camp.
On the 9th of July it was taken in crowded transports to Washington, then menaced by General Early. On the 17th there was a battle and Early was driven back and pursued across the Potomac. August 9th Sheridan assumed command in the Valley, and on the 27th, while under his command the Ninety-third had an engagement with the enemy. Sep- tember 13th, it supported a battery on Opequan Creek, sustaining some loss. On the 19th, at Winchester, the regiment lost seven killed and forty wounded. At Fisher's Hill the loss was twenty-four killed and wounded; after pursuing the enemy up the Valley beyond Staunton the army returned to Cedar Creek. On the morning of October 19th the Ninety-third repelled several assaults of the enemy, but was finally out- flanked and compelled to retire. The army was driven back four miles. General Sheridan arrived at two p. m. At three he rode along the line, saying, as he came to the Ninety-third, "We must sleep in our old camp to-night." The engagement was very severe, but the enemy finally gave way, and the rout was complete.
On October 28th, one hundred men whose term had expired were

mustered out of the service. In November the regiment was ordered to Philadelphia where it remained until after the Presidential election, when it returned to Winchester. About the middle of December it moved to the lines in front of Petersburg.
During the winter several hundred recruits were received, bringing its strength up to the minimum. On the 25th of March, 1865, in an attack on the enemy's works, the regiment lost fifteen killed and one hundred and thirty-six wounded. At four a. m. on April 2nd, with the rest of the brigade, the regiment charged the enemy's works, which were carried, the Ninety-third being the first to plant their colors on the ram- parts. Their loss on this day was two killed and thirty wounded. Dur- ing the night the enemy evacuated Petersburg. On the 6th the regiment participated in the battle of Sailor's Creek. On the 9th Lee surrendered.
The regiment returned by rail to Richmond, thence to Washington, and was there mustered out of service June 27th, 1865.

reduced by hard fighting that, early in 1863, they were transferred to the Department of Washington, where the Seventh remained on guard and provost duty until the spring of 1864.
FORTY-FIRST REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS-TWELFTH RE- SERVE. (THREE YEARS' SERVICE. )
This regiment was organized in June, 1861; August 10th it marched to Baltimore; August 20th it was attached to the Third Brigade; Octo- ber Ioth, marched to Virginia; December 20th was in the fight at Dranesville; May 6th, 1862, four men were captured by guerrillas ; June 12th embarked at Belle Plain Landing to join McClellan on the Peninsula; debarked at White House on the 14th and marched to Dis- patch Station; on the 18th marched to New Bridge on the Chicka- hominy ; on the 19th, moved to Ellerson's Mill on Beaver Dam creek. From a hill in front of their camp they could see the spires of Rich- mond; here on the 26th, they were engaged with the enemy from three o'clock in the afternoon till nine o'clock at night; over one hundred rounds of ammunition per man was expended. Roger A. Pryor, of the rebel army, in his account of the "Seven Days' Fight," says: "Eller- son's Mill was defended with desperate obstinacy." At Gaines' Mill the regiment was for three hours exposed to a terrific fire, the loss was six killed and twenty-five wounded.
June 29th, an intensely hot day, it marched eighteen miles without food or water; that night it was ordered on picket. Colonel Taggart's report says: "The White Oak creek, which we crossed about noon, was a complete quagmire from the thousands of horses, teams and artillery which were passing, and water to drink was not to be had. Some of the men became almost delirious from thirst, and once, when I halted for a rest a few minutes, I discovered them drinking from a stagnant puddle in which was the carcass of a putrid horse. Poor fellows, I pitied them, but I could not permit this, and I promised them water at White Oak swamp, but as we arrived there we found it utterly unfit to drink. The disappointment was intense; but in the evening when we halted, and General McCall came up and told us there was plenty of good spring water in a rivulet close by, the joy of the men knew no bounds. Alas! little did they think that on that very spot, in less than twenty-four hours, many of them would pour out their life's blood, and the waters of that little brook be reddened by the vital current! Yet so it was."
On the 30th they were heavily engaged; the regiment lost six killed, thirty-six wounded, and twenty-three missing. At Malvern Hill the regiment was held in reserve; July Ist it moved to Harrison's Landing. The total loss of the regiment, in the Peninsula campaign, was thirteen killed, sixty wounded, and thirty-six missing. Much sickness occurred at Harrison's Landing, owing to the depression occasioned by repeated defeat, the unwholesome water and the miasmatic influences of the cli-

mate. From the Peninsula the Twelfth proceeded to Falmouth, and thence by a rapid and fatiguing march to join General Pope's army. July 29th, near Groveton, the regiment sustained considerable loss. On the 30th near the Henry House it had a severe engagement, holding its position against vastly superior numbers, until re-inforced; the loss was five killed and thirty-eight wounded. Near South Mountain its loss was six killed and nineteen wounded. August 16th and 17th, at Antietam, the regiment lost thirteen killed, forty-seven wounded and thirty-four taken prisoners.
In February, 1863, the regiment, now reduced to a mere skeleton, was ordered to the defences of Washington and attached to the Twenty- second Army Corps. In April it was ordered to Washington, where it performed provost duty for six weeks.
The Twelfth reached the battlefield of Gettysburg at ten a. m., on the 2nd of July. That night the Third Brigade took position on Round Top and built the stone wall connecting the summit of Round Top with Little Round Top. On October 14th the regiment was engaged at Bristoe Station; on November 19th at Rappahannock Station, and on the 26th at Mine Run. It went into winter quarters on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad.
May 4th, 1864, the spring campaign opened, and the Twelfth was hotly engaged during the three days in the Wilderness; on the 18th was in the fight at Spottsylvania Court House; on the 23rd at the North Anna River; and on the 30th at Bethesda Church; on this day the regiment's term of service expired. It returned to Pennsylvania, where it was enthusiastically received, and on the IIth of June was mustered out.

XLIX.
FORTY-THIRD REGIMENT PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEERS-FIRST ARTIL- LĘRY. (THREE YEARS' SERVICE.)
This regiment was organized in June, 1861 ; in August was ordered to Washington, where it was armed and equipped, and then moved to Camp Barry, east of the Capitol. Here the several batteries were as- signed to different divisions and corps of the army, and were never again united as a regiment.
BATTERY A.
Battery A participated in the battle of Dranesville, December 20, 1861. At Beaver Dam it served with excellent effect. June 27th at Gaines' Mill, it was posted in an important position; being left with- out support and its ammunition becoming exhausted, it was captured by the enemy. It was re-organized and received new guns at Harrison's Landing. Participated in the battles of Bull Run, South Mountain and Antietam, maintaining its reputation for skill and bravery and leaving many of its men dead and wounded upon the different fields. At Fred- ericksburg, December Ist, it maintained its position under the concen- trated fire of the enemy's batteries. Was attached to the army of the

James. Operated on the Black Water, at Deep Bottom, Fort Darling, Seven Pines and Petersburg. It entered Richmond with Weitzel's Corps on the day of that city's surrender, and was engaged in demolishing the rebel defences and removing their guns. After the completion of this duty in July, 1865, the battery turned in its guns at Richmond and marched to Pennsylvania, where, after a term of four years and four months' service, it was mustered out on the 25th.
BATTERY B.
The Middletown men joined this battery at Paoli Mills, near Kelly's Ford, Va., early in 1864. May 4th of that year the battery was in the engagements near the Lacy House; on the 9th it fired about forty rounds at the enemy beyond the Po river; on the 13th it was in posi- tion on the picket line; the two lines were very close, the men had little shelter, and it was only by working on their knees that they could load the guns. The battery was withdrawn and marched all night, joining the corps near Spottsylvania Court House; was immediately placed in position and engaged. On the 18th it was under the hottest fire that it encountered during the war. Here the rebels were treated to a little mortar practice by the gunners of Battery B. On the 21st this position was abandoned. On the 23rd, at Jericho Ford, the battery completely demolished a rebel battery that was annoying the Fifth Corps. On the 2nd of June it went into position at Cold Harbor. The new gunners did good execution, firing a greater number of rounds on the 2nd and 3rd than had been fired by the battery previously during that campaign. It arrived at Wilcox's Landing on the James, on the 15th, and in front of Petersburg on the evening of the 17th, and occupied several positions ; on the 18th in front of Avery Court House, fired a number of rounds ; on the 30th of July, when the fort in front of the Ninth Corps was blown up, it was in service. On the 18th, 19th, and 21st of August it was with General Warren's advance on the Weldon Railroad. Decem- ber 2Ist it was relieved from duty on the front line and went into winter quarters about a mile in the rear. At different times during the winter it was on duty. When the enemy captured Forts Steadman and Haskell the left section kept a sharp fire on the forts in front. At midnight of April 1, 1865, all the batteries received orders to open fire; on the 2nd the firing was renewed, the gunners doing good execution. Two de- tachments of Battery B worked the guns in one of the enemy's batteries which had been captured; six hundred rounds left by the rebels were fired, besides a large number brought from the other line by the in- fantry. In the afternoon the rebels made an attempt to recapture the forts they had lost; deserted by the infantry Lieutenant Rice and his handful of men worked the guns with telling effect. The next day the battery was ordered to City Point. May 3rd it left for Washington, passing through Richmond. June 3rd the guns were turned in at Wash- ington and the men went to Pennsylvania, where they were mustered out on the 9th.

BATTERY F.
Battery F was furnished in August, 1861, with horses, equipments and four smooth-bore pieces, and transferred to the camp of the Penn- sylvania Reserve Corps at Tenallytown. September 12th it was ordered to join General Banks at Darnestown, Md., and was never afterwards connected with the regiment or the reserves. On October 8th, two steel- rifled ten-pounder Parrot guns were added to the battery. The Middle- town men joined the company at its rendezvous at Chester, Pa., in Feb- ruary, 1864. On the Ist of March the battery returned to Virginia and took its place in the Second Corps. May 5th, 6th and 7th it was heavily engaged with the enemy in the wilderness. To add to the horrors of battle here the breastworks, which were composed of logs and rails, and the woods took fire, and many of the wounded perished in the flames. At Cold Harbor the battery was attached to the Eighteenth Corps, and was sharply engaged. On June 8th it returned to the Second Corps, having been in line of battle without relief for six days. On the 14th the battery was in position before Petersburg, and several hundred rounds were thrown into the city. On the 20th it was engaged on the Jerusalem Plank Road. From this time forward until the capture of Petersburg, the battery participated in all the movements of the corps, being constantly upon the front and engaged in the active operations of the siege. Upon the fall of the city, April 3, 1865, it was attached to the reserve artillery, and went into camp near City Point. Proceeding thence to Washington, where its guns and horses were turned over, it moved to Pennsylvania, where on the 9th of June, 1865, it was mustered out of service.
