PART VI THE GREAT REBELLION. 270 (cont.) ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIFTH REGIMENT. One Hundred and Seventy-Fifth Regiment Pennsylvania Drafted Militia (nine months' Men). -This regiment was composed of eight companies from Chester and two from Montgomery County. The camp of rendezvous was in West Philadelphia, where the companies assembled in November, 1862, and a regimental organization was effected with the following field officers: Samuel A. Dyer, (of Delaware County, colonel; Francis C. Hooton, of Chester County, lieutenant-colonel; Isaac McClure, of Chester County, major. On the 1st of December the regiment broke camp and moved via Washington to Fortress Monroe, and thence to Suffolk, Va., where it was made a part of the brigade commanded by Colonel Alfred Gibbs. After a month's incessant drill the regiment was transferred to the brigade of General F. B. Spinola, and moved, with other troops, during the closing days of the year, to Newbern, N. C., and went into winter-quarters. Spinola's brigade here became the First of the Fifth Division (General Henry Prince), Eighteenth Corps, (General Foster). In March 1863, when the enemy was threatening Newbern, the One Hundred and Seventy-fifth threw up a strong line of earth-works on the south side of the river Trent and joined in repelling the attack which was sluggishly made on the town. It also made several expeditions in search of Colonel Woodford's guerrillas, but never succeeded in inducing them to risk a fight. After retiring from Newbern the enemy proceeded to Washington, on the Tar River, and laid siege to the town. The defense was directed by General Foster in person, the little garrison consisting have only about two thousand men. From Newbern to Washington direct was about 271 thirty miles, but by water one hundred and twenty. Prince's division at once moved by water to the relief of Foster. Eight miles below the town Prince found his way impeded by obstructions in the river, here a mile wide, and by heavy guns in earth-works on either side. A year before, when Burnside made his descent upon this coast, the enemy bad driven three lines of piles across the stream and erected heavy bomb-proofs to command the passage. When the Union forces got possession they, contented themselves with opening a narrow way through the piles and left the bomb-proofs unharmed. When the enemy came again he had but to occupy. An attempt was made by the gunboats to reduce these defenses, but, failing in this, the One Hundred and Seventy-fifth was put upon a transport, in tow of the gunboat "Whitehead," and, with other troops, moved up to run past the obstructions; but, before reaching them, it was signaled to retire. Prince subsequently abandoned further attempts at relief and returned to Newbern. A force under General Spinola, of which the One Hundred and Seventy-fifth formed part, which moved overland with the same object, was alike unsuccessful; meeting the enemy in force at Blount's Creek. The enemy, finding all attempts to reduce the place fruitless, and seeing a heavy force under Foster, who had escaped from the besieged town, gathering for a descent upon his Year, raised the siege. Spinola's brigade was then ordered to Washington, and a part of the One hundred and Seventy-fifth, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hooton, was posted at Fort Hill, and the other, under Major Smith, Major McClure having previously resigned, at an earth-work at Rodman's Point, Colonel Dyer having been assigned to a temporary command in Little Washington, under General Prince. The regiment remained in this position for two months, and this being a malarious district, it lost many men by sickness, among them Lieutenants Evan Sheeler and John E. Miller. Near the close of June the regiment was ordered north, and upon its arrival at Fortress Monroe was designated to join the force then organizing for a movement up the Peninsula. This order was, however, countermarched, and it was sent to the Upper Potomac to aid in intercepting the retreat of the rebel army from Pennsylvania. Upon its arrival at Harper's Ferry it was stationed on Maryland Heights, whence, after some delay and the final escape of Lee, it proceeded to Frederick, Md. It subsequently, marched to Sandy Hook, where it was attached to Colonel Wells' brigade, of the Eighth Corps. With it the regiment assisted in laying a pontoon bridge over the Potomac to the town of Harper's Ferry. and crossing, had a brisk skirmish with the Twelfth Virginia Cavalry, which was driven and the town occupied. Its term of service had now expired, and, returning, to Philadelphia, it was, on the 7th of August, mustered out. FIELD AND STAFF OFFICERS.

One Hundred and Seventy-ninth Regiment Pennsylvania Drafted Militia (nine months men). The troops composing this regiment were from the counties of Berks, Lancaster, Montgomery, Pike, and Wayne and the city of Philadelphia. They were organized in companies at periods ranging from the 23d of October to the 6th of December, 1862, and on the 8th of December a regimental organization was elected, with the following field officers: William H. Blair, colonel; Daniel H. Yost, lieutenant-colonel; William H. Yerkes, major. Colonel Blair was at the time serving as captain in the Fifty-first Regiment, and did not join his new command until January, 1863. Before leaving Philadelphia, Company E was detached and sent for duty to the Chestnut Hill Hospital, where, with the exception of a short period soon after the battle of Gettysburg, in which it had charge of paroled prisoners in camp near West Chester, it remained until the close of its service. Soon after its 273 organization the regiment proceeded to Fortress Monroe, and thence to Yorktown, where it formed part of the garrison at the fort, and was encamped within its walls, Upon assuming command, Colonel Blair commenced a thorough discipline of his men, with the most flattering results. Colonel Robert M. West, chief of artillery and ordnance at the fort, says of it: "It improved rapidly, and eventually became a first-class regiment, remarkable for its proficiency in drill, the cleanliness and good order of As camp, and the quiet, orderly demeanor of the men. I never saw improvement more marked and rapid than in this case." It did little else than garrison duty until the last of July, when it was called out to join in the movement made by General Dix up the Peninsula. "When the movement upon Richmond was made," says Colonel West, in the document above quoted, "by General Dix, in the summer of this year. I was in command of the 'Advanced Brigade' of the forces that moved up the Peninsula. It became necessary to strengthen my brigade with an additional regiment, and the commanding general authorized me to designate any one I chose. I immediately named the One Hundred and Seventy-ninth, and, accordingly, Colonel Blair reported to me with his regiment and became a part of my command. During the march to White House, and thence to Baltimore Cross-Roads, where my brigade was engaged upon two occasions, Colonel Blair's regiment was prompt and ready, and always well in hand. A peculiarity about his command was that it never had a straggler. During the return march-the most severe, on account of a drenching storm, of any I ever performed the One Hundred and Seventy-ninth crowned its reputation as a first-class organization by being always closed and promptly in its place, whilst other regiments were scattered for miles along the road." Upon its return to camp it was ascertained that Lee had invaded Pennsylvania. And though its term of service was about to expire, by the unanimous vote of the men, by companies, their further services were tendered to Governor Curtin as long as he should need them for the defense of the State. This offer was accepted; but by the time the regiment had reached Washington, en route to the front, the rebel army had retreated to Virginia. It was, accordingly, ordered to Harrisburg, where, on the 27th of July, it was mustered out of service. FIELD AND STAFF OFFICERS. William H.

YOST APPEARS HERE. COL. DANIEL M. YOST. -Philip Yost, born May, 1718, emigrated to America prior to the year 1740 from Nassau, West Germany, and settled in Limerick township, Montgomery Co. He subsequently removed to the Yost homestead, near Pottstown, in New Hanover township, which is still among the family possessions. To his wife, Veronica Dotterer, were born three sons, among who was Philip, a native of Limerick township, whose birth occurred August 24, 1757. He served with credit during the Revolutionary war, having encamped with the army at Valley Forge during the winter of 1778-79 and participated in the engagements at Germantown, Brandywine and Stillwater, continuing in service until the close of the conflict. He married Rosina Berninger, whose surviving sons were Benjamin B. and Philip. The former, born on the 31st of December, 1787, was a soldier of the war of 1812, and filled he offices of commissioner and register of wills in his county. He married, on the l3th of November 1813, Sarah Feather, whose children were Isaac F., Benjamin F., Sarah and Elizabeth. The first named was born March 2, 1815, in Pottsgrove, where his life has chiefly been spent. He has been honored with the offices of county auditor, county commissioner and associate judge, having been the last incumbent of the latter position. He married Rosina, daughter of Daniel Miller, of Pottsgrove township, and has children, Daniel M., Benjamin M., Isaac M., Philip M., John It. and five daughters. Daniel M. Yost was born on the 27th of August, 1839, in Pottsgrove township, where he attended the public school of the district, and later received superior advantages of education at Washington Hall, situated at Trappe. From 1852 until 1854 he varied the vocation of a teacher with 278 labor on the farm, and in March of the latter year accepted a position as clerk in a dry-goods store in Norristown, continuing thus occupied until the beginning of the war in 1861. On the 19th of April he enlisted for three months in the Fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was during this period of service promoted to the position of first sergeant of his company. The following spring he embarked in business with J. H. Brendlinger, and during the fall of 1862 Colonel Yost again manifested his patriotism by raising a company during the emergency and immediately reporting for duty at Harrisburg. Such was the spirit infused into this band of recruits by their captain that in thirty-six hours from the time of their enlistment they were enroute for the State capital. Colonel Yost was promoted from a captaincy to the position of lieutenant colonel of the Eleventh Pennsylvania Volunteers, which was the first regiment that crossed the line into Maryland and reinforced General Reynolds at Hagerstown. On his return from service be was commissioned lieutenant, the One Hundred and Seventy-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and while serving with its regiment was wounded at Baltimore CrossRoads, near White House Landing, Va. In 1864 he resumed his business relations, and has since that date been one of the representative merchants of Norristown. Colonel Yost, was, in 1863, married to Hannah, daughter of Solomon Feather, of Norristown. The children of this marriage are Daniel F., Harry T., Walter, Marla R. and Ella. Colonel Yost has been largely identified with the business interests of the borough, as also of the county. A Democrat in politics, he does not participate in the various political movements of the time and invariably declines office. He is a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Norristown.

Mulvany and Governor Curtin recalls the period of anxiety and apprehension felt throughout Eastern Pennsylvania in the summer of 1863. It also shows the promptness with which the patriotic citizens of Montgomery County responded to the call of the executive in an emergency that was rife with peril to the commonwealth: HARRISBURG, June 15, 1863. Received June 15, 1863, 10 o'clock, 30 minutes A.M To D. Mulvany, Esq.-Lee is moving in force on Pennsylvania. He has defeated our forces at Winchester and Martinsburg, and part of his army is now at Hagerstown. The President has called on Pennsylvania for fifty thousand volunteers to check the Rebel movement, the men so raised to serve for six months if not sooner discharged, to be clothed and paid by the United States, and to be accredited on the draft. Unless our people respond promptly a large part of the State will be laid waste by the Rebel invasion. (Signature), A. G. CURTIN, Gov. State Pennsylvania. Also the following letter NORRISTOWN, Sept. 16,1862. His Excellence, A. G. Curtin, and Gov. of Penna. -SIR: I have the honor to report the troop of cavalry raised in this borough and vicinity as in readiness to march. We propose to mount our horses for Harrisburg on Thursday morning next. Please have the goodness to let me know by telegraph whether we may go at that time. Very respectfully your obedient servant. D. H. MULVANY, Captain Norristown Troop. P. S. Fifty-four members have positively agreed to march on Thursday, and some others would go to Harrisburg to join us in a few days." The above is appended to a paper drawn up in the following terms: "We, the undersigned citizens of Norristown and its vicinity, between 18 and 56 years of age, do hereby agree to form on themselves into a troop of cavalry, for such military service as the defense of our Native State may in the present emergency require. The members will meet to organize at the office of D. H. Mulvany on Saturday next, at 7.30 o'clock P.M. [FINIS NOTE 16-22.] 280 [NOTE 16-23.] The following extract from a letter written by an emergency soldier of the summer of 1863 will call to mind the circumstances which at that period, were deemed of unusual Interest to the people of Montgomery County: "At the time General Lee with his rebel hordes crossed the Potomac and was about to invade the soil of Pennsylvania the people of the Schuylkill Valley became very much alarmed. It was difficult to realize the fact that after the State had given over two hundred thousand of her brave young men to the public service that she should be the Subject of an incursion, and list great harvest-fields devastated and whole regions laid waste. The farmers and businessmen of Montgomery County felt the emergency to be serious, and that more soldiers were necessary in order to resist the tide of invasion, and if possible to overwhelm Lee; we therefore, in a very few days, raised a company, known as the Norris Cavalry, and selected for one captain Frederick Haws of Norriton township. The farmers had the hay about half made and the grain was nearly ready to harvest; but we thought better, if needs be, to lose our crops and match a the assistance of the brave men in the field. The sacrifice was felt to be very great, and the animating feeling of all was to do what we could for the country. "On the 2d of July, 1863, a warm sultry morning, we left our homes and farms and assembled at Norristown, where we received our horses and equipment. At 10 o'clock A.M. we formed company and started for the seat of war. We marched over the Ridge pike, passing through village after village, and receiving the plaudits of men, women and children, all of who seemed to feel the stern necessities of the time. We reached Pottstown, and there remained overnight, and were hospitably entertained by the good citizens, of that place; many of the men felt jolted and sore, and keenly appreciated a short night's rest. "By seven o'clock on the morning of the 3d we were on the march for Reading, reaching that place in good time; horses were groomed and the men turned in for a good night's sleep. On the morning of July 4th we were mustered into the State service for three months, unless sooner discharged; we then went into camp, and suffered all the discomforts of a rainy afternoon and night. The joyful news of the defeat of Lee came along in good time to rejoice our hearts, and in common with all, we felt a sense of relief and a desire to be where we could help to 'push things.' "On the 5th we had our horses appraised and then took cars and proceeded to Harrisburg. The rain continued, and the conditions under which we marched to a piece of woodland beyond the town and went into camp were such as to induce 'camp growls' from the most patriotic. Camp Couch, however, was established and Norris Cavalry pitched their tents, fed their horses, cooked their coffee, made their beds, began to realize what 'soldiering' really meant, 'turned in' for the night. And dreamed of soft beds, new-made hay, and orange harvest-field and not the girls, but the kindly housewives we left behind us. We woke to the sound of neighing horses and the general racket of rain-soaked camp guards. "At this camp we received our uniforms. As usual, they fit to a fault, and many of its, upon getting inside of them, felt almost as blue as looked. The novelty of our woodland camp was wearing away and the situation was growing monotonous, when, on the 11th, we received orders to march. Our first duty was to take one hundred government horses to Chambersburg; this we did, and turned them over to officers there in command, and then moved on to Greencastle, where we encamped for the night. "Next day we marched to a place called Clear Springs, in Washington County, Maryland, and encamped within about one and a half miles of the Potomac River. We were now in General Kelly's department, Camp Stahl. Here we were employed for some time in doing out-post and picket duty on the, Potomac River. Lee having retired into Virginia, the danger to the late being over and our affairs at home pressing most of the men in the command, we returned to Harrisburg. "On August 21st we were mustered out, and on the following day returned to our homes. Our experience was rife with incident, and although we were not engaged with the enemy, our presence on the line of operations was a guarantee of our willingness to do what the exigencies of file public service and those in charge of it might require of us at their hands.

ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY-SEVENTH REGIMENT (hundred days' men). --This regiment was recruited at Philadelphia and in neighboring counties by the assistance of the Coal Exchange Association of that city, to serve for a period of one hundred days, and was known as the Third Coal Exchange Regiment. It was organized at Camp Cadwalader on the 22d of July, 1864, with the following field officers: John R. Haslett, colonel; Charles D. Kenworthy, lieutenant colonel; John Woodcock, major. Colonel Haslett had served as captain in the Sixty-sixth and subsequently in the Seventy-third, of which he had been for several months the acting, major. Lieutenant-Colonel Kenworthy had served on the Peninsula, in the Third United States Infantry where he was severely wounded; and Major Woodcock Hall just been mustered out of a nine months' regiment. A large proportion of officers and men were well-schooled soldiers. Soon after its organization it proceeded to Camp Bradford, at Mankin's Woods, near Baltimore, where it remained for two weeks. At the end of that time, and when well drilled and in full expectation of being led to the front, it was ordered to Rock Island, Ill., 283 and upon its arrival there was charged with guarding a camp for prisoners of war. The guard provided was insufficient for the duty required, and the service bore heavily on this regiment. At the close of its term it returned to Philadelphia, where, on the 11th day of November, 1864, it was mustered out. COMPANY F. Harry H.

NOTE: -There is a large number of deceased and surviving soldiers who enlisted from and were accredited to Montgomery County, but not attached to the company organizations of the county. The names, rank and services of these men are not so recorded in the official records of the war as to be obtained for historical purposes. We sincerely regret that they are omitted, and trust that some means will yet be taken to preserve their names and honorable service. The official records of the Grand Army of the Republic will furnish reference to a large number of the survivors of this meritorious class of soldiers, but it will not reach the cases of our dead comrades in arms who fell In battle or died in the prisons of the South during the conflict. Among the number who fall within this class was Captain John Kline, of Company H, Thirteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry. He was killed at Haws' Shop, Va., May 28, 1864, and his remains repose at Barren Hill Church under a monument dedicated to his memory by his patriotic friends of Whitemarsh and vicinity. Henry Rosenburg, Company K, Forty-ninth Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, died at Andersonville Prison, Ga., March 24, 1864. Captain Thomas A. Kelly, Company G, Thirtieth Pennsylvania Volunteers. Captain John W. Moore, Company G, Sixty-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers. End Chapter XVI.
