COLONELS: GENERAL GEORGE D. BAYARD, From August, 1861, to May, 1862. HON. OWEN JONES, From May, 1862, to January, 1863. COL. JOHN P. TAYLOR, Since January, 1863 PHILADELPHIA: KING & BAIRD, PRINTERS, No. 607 SANSOM STREET. 1864. [138] COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. By the law of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, company officers were elected by the men of their respective companies, and the commanding and field officers were elected by the commissioned officers of the regiment. This mode of choosing has not been productive of so many evil results in this regiment as in many others, but it is plainly evident from experience, that a faithful performance of duty is incompatible with attempts to secure popularity among his subordinates, on the part of either commissioned or non-commissioned officers, who are seeking promotion by the votes of those under their command; consequently those who have best filled subordinate posts, are least likely to secure promotion by election. This system was annulled by an Act of Legislature, early in 1863, and since then the officers have been appointed in the manner presented by the military laws of the State of Pennsylvania.

Stadelman was chosen first lieutenant, and John Kline, second lieutenant. On the 8th day of August, 1861, the company was mustered into the State service, by Colonel Taggart, of the Twelfth regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Reserve Corps. Captain Owen Jones, having been promoted to the rank of major, First Lieutenant Jacob L. Stadelman was elected captain, and Theodore Streck was elected first lieutenant on the 16th of the same month. On the same day, the company left Camp Curtin, and arrived at Washington, D.C., and encamped at the Park on Seventh street.
