THE RECEPTION OF THE 153D REGIMENT. It was, indeed, glad news, which came to the Northern States as a Fourth of July greeting; the great victory of Gettysburg, and-which was still more amazing-the surrender of the rebel army at Vicksburg; both accomplished on the preceding day. In Northampton county, as everywhere else, the bewildering intelligence was received with the most extravagant joy; tempered only by the recollection of her brave sons who find suffered death and mutilation to accomplish the great result. And now, her own regiment, the One Hundred and Fifty-third (her own, because the only one which had been raised entirely within her borders) had nearly completed the term of us enlistment, and would in a few days, return home, covered with the glory of its exploits. On the fourteenth of July, the regiment took leave of the army near Funkstown. Upon the occasion of that farewell, Colonel Von Gilsa, their brigade commander said to them: "I am an old writer, but never did I know soldiers who with greater alacrity, and more good-will, endeavored to fulfill their duties. In the battle of Chancellorsville, you, like veterans, stood rout ground against fearful odds, and, although surrounded on three sides, you did not retreat, until by me commanded to do so. In the three days battle at Gettysburg, your behavior put many an old soldier to blush, and you are justly entitled to a great share of the glory which my brigade has won for itself, by repulsing the two dreaded Tiger Brigades of Jackson. In the name of your comrades of the First Brigade and myself, I now bid you farewell." At Harrisburg, on the twenty-fourth of July, the regiment was mustered out of the service, and on the following day, returned-all that were left of them-in a body to Easton; and the reception which was there given them, was described as follows, in the Easton Daily Express, of July 27, 1863: "THE RECEPTION OF THE 153D REGIMENT." "Saturday last, will be a day long to be remembered by the citizens of Northampton county. On that day the friends of the 153d Regiment bid them Welcome Home! and gave them, a reception worthy of their gallant deeds, during a nine months service, fraught with events of thrilling interest on battle-field and in camp, and a campaign of severe and arduous duties. On that day the people gathered together from, their workshops, their stores, and their farms, to receive a gallant hand of patriots, who, nine months ago, entered the service of their country to aid in crushing out the rebellion, and well did they act their part and nobly did they, do their duty. Many a gallant member of that blood who then left their homes, their firesides and their friends, with high hopes and expectations, and looked forward to a safe return to that home and that fireside, now sleeps that sleep that knows no waking on the field of Chancellorsville, in Virginia, and on the bloody field of Gettysburg, in his own native State, Pennsylvania. The thrill of joy the arrival of the Regiment brought to some, has been counter-balanced by the pangs, of anguish it has brought to others, who have lost their friends and relatives-and they are many. But we are digressing. We do not desire to call to mind the death of those brave fellows whose graves are yet fresh on the battle-field. We leave a grateful people to perpetuate their memories. "At an early hour in the morning, after it had been announced, on the previous evening, that the regiment would arrive in Easton and handbills had been sent, throughout the county, the citizens of Easton began their preparations for making a grand display, and flags banner, and evergreens were brought, into requisition to add to the reception. At eight o"clock the town was decorated with flags from one end to the other, from the house-top, and across the streets. The citizens began to fill the streets, and every avenue leading to Easton was thronged with carriages, teams, omnibus, &,c., loaded with people from the country pouring into town, and by nine o"clock Easton was a perfect jam. The hotels were filled up, and the conveyances blocked up the streets so much that navigation was next to an impossibility. The residences sod Stores along Northampton street were beautifully decorated with festoons of evergreen and mottoes of Welcome Home Heroes of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, 'Gallant 153d,' Welcome Home, &c. On the top of the hill, Northampton street, large flags and banners entwined with evergreens, stretched from the opposite, house-tops to the large pole, made an imposing display, its also at the store of Mr. Wm. KUNSMAN and others. As the time of the arrival of the train approached, everybody made for South Third street, and by the time the cars came in sight, the street presented a perfect jam of humanity. The Provost Guard and the Soldiers under command of Captain TITUS, endeavored to keep the streets clear, but it was an impossibility. Many of the country people, in their anxiety to see their friends, also crowded across the bridge, find from the Depot to the Square, at least five thousand persons had assembled. At 10 o'clock the cannon on Mt. Jefferson announced their arrival, and then the scene became indescribable. Such a rush and such a scramble for the depot, we never beheld. "After the regiment had left, the car, they marched to the South Easton road and formed into line, and headed by the Colonel and several of the Staff officers, they marched across the bridge, where they were received by the procession announced in the programme, and under the direction of the Chief Marshal, Thos. W, LYNN, and his assistant marshals, marched to the Square, around the circle, and up Northampton street to the Fair building. "All along the route the streets, house-tops, and windows, were filled with people,, and amid the waving of handkerchiefs and their loud huzzas their march was a perfect triumph, and calculated to cheer the hearts of the brave soldiers. Friends and relatives crowded in upon there, and to attempt to describe the affectionate scenes, along the route would be futile. The soldiers looked begrimed with war, fatigued, and sunburnt, and presented a far different appearance, to what they did when they left home. AT THE FAIR GROUND. "The precession entered and halted, the right, extending toward the east gable of the building until the regiment and train of wounded passed in review and drew up in front of the speakers stand, around which the vast crowd gathered. "From this Stand Hon. PHILIP JOHNSON addressed them as follows: "Officers and Men of the 153d Regiment-On behalf of your citizens of Northampton county, I bid you a hearty welcome home. "Thrice welcome noble remnant of a brave and gallant band. "We hail the heros safe return, To home and friend again And mourn with tears of sympathy The gallent patriots slain." Little less than a year ago it was announced by the President of the United States that, in order to fill up the ranks of the army it would be necessary for a draft to be made of a certain number of the able-bodied citizens of the several States. "Pennsylvania was assigned her quota, and so of the several counties, Northampton had already given many of her brave sons to the war, and it was evident that the enforcement of a draft, at that season of the year, for the quota required, would be attended with a good deal of distress and very general inconvenience, to our people. "At this crisis you came forward, and magnanimously volunteered your services at once, to relieve your follow citizens of the draft, and take their places in the army, to fight their battles, endure whatever such Service might impose, and, above all, to contribute, your services and sufferings, your health, and, if needs be, your lives to the support of the Constitution, the Government, and the Flag of your country. "How you have discharged these duties, your decimated ranks, your tattered and torn banners, and your long train of scarred and wounded companions, and the bloody fields of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg too well disclose. "How your services are appreciated by your friends at home, this immense throng, summoned by a few hours notice of your arrival, at this busy season of the year, bears ample testimony. 102 "And now, while all rejoice with those who have most cause to rejoice at your return, they all mourn the late of the gallant dead, and deeply condole with their afflicted and bereaved friends. Their best wishes have followed you off the weary march, on the lonely picket, and in the dreary winter camp; and while round your camp-fires the wonder may have passed whether they missed you at home, there were aching hearts fit those dear homes that whispered earnest prayers to heaven for your welfare and your safe return. "But when they heard you were in battle, their fancies painted you, as in truth you were, midst shot and shell and leaden hail, with stiffened sinews and weapons clenched, determined to humble the bold rebel to the dust, or bathe the earth in human gore; then, then did thee exclaim "Oh, God, be Merciful, be merciful to save." "On the twenty-fourth day of September, last, you left this place to enter upon a term of nine months service, ten months have elapsed, and you now return to us again, having fought two of the bloodiest and most destructive battles of the war, and borne the brunt of both. The last you fought on Pennsylvania soil, and while Your friends were pained to learn the heavy losses you there sustained, they were nevertheless gratified when they heard that you had declined to avail yourselves of your right to quit the field, but patriotically volunteered to extend your term of service until the last invading rebel had ignominiously retired. This was peculiarly gratifying to your friends at home, when they saw that all, situated as you were, did not do as, you did. "When you entered the military service you laid aside the rights find duties of citizens, to resume them again upon your return, It is a source of great satisfaction to your friends that you return with honor engraved upon your escutcheons, your murals unimpaired, and your hands unstained with crime. How you shall discharge your duties as citizens needs no suggestion from me. Good citizens you were, good soldiers you made, good soldiers you are, citizens, you will again be. The memory of those who have fallen will be preserved in the hearts of your fellow citizens the widows and wounded will be cared for out of the National bounty, and you, who have escaped unharmed, will hereafter find it to your proudest boast that you belonged to the One Hundred and Fifty third Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. "Officers, and then, one and all, once more I bid you a hearty welcome home. "At the conclusion of his speech, he was heartily cheered. "Colonel GLANZ, in reply, stated that the officers and men of the regiment were very grateful for the honor their fellow citizens had done for them, and he was very sorry that his health was so poor, find be was so touch exhausted that he could not, respond new at length. He trusted, however, that he would be able hereafter to show to the people of the county that the many favors he had received at their hands were duly appreciated. Edward J. FOX, Esq., Chairman of the Committee on Collation, then addressed the regiment, briefly alluding, to the gallant manner in which they had volunteered to extend their term of service until the last rebel invader should be expelled from the State, and announced that their fellow citizens had prepared a collation for them which he invited them to partake of. "Under the direction of Major Thomas W. Lynn Chief Marshal, the regiment then marched into the Fair building, and were seated; the wounded, unable to walk, were carried in and cared for. The collation, which was got up by the citizens, assisted by, some of their country friends, and arranged by it committee of ladies, was a splendid affair and consisted of poultry and various meats, bread, hotter, cheese, &c., with warm coffee, ice-water, and lager beer. "The building is one hundred and sixty feet long, and there were four tables set extending the whole length of the building, with seats upon each side of the tables. As soon its they were seated, HENRY GREEN, Esq., who had been appointed to preside at the latter, proceeded to address them, but, after a few minutes, he remarked that he knew they had nothing to eat since the evening previous, and, inasmuch as he could not be at all satisfactorily heard, because of the immense crowd of people that were gathered around them and into the, second story of the building, he must not trespass upon them. "The following poem was written for the occasion, and will be read with much interest by the soldiers and their friends: "A WELCOME TO THE 153D REGIMENT, P. V. "BY S. L COOLEY, ESQ. From dread conflict, Soldiers, welcome! Brave men, with your honors, come! Tired with marches, scarred with battle, Dusty, sunburnt, welcome home. Though your hands are hard with tolling, Faces black, with smoke of war; Haggard, careworn, faithful soldiers, For your scars we love you more. "With full hearts, on your afraid errand, Each man girded for the right, Forth you went and richly served as, Well done! Heroes of the fight Served your country, here her banner, Banner which your fathers bore; Slew the rebel, smote the traitor, Drove them back from Freedom"s shore. Long well keep in recollection, All that brave and gallant band, Who, mid whistling balls and death groans, Charged the traitors from our land. "Who for us poured out their life-blood, In defence of our own soil; And charged back the bold invaders, Ere they should our homes deboil, Charged them back, defeated, broken, Charged them back, and thousands slew; Charged them back, strong death-blows dealing, Charged them back the rebel crew. "Smote them back, dishonored, beaten, Smote them back with Freedoms Steel; Smote them back through their own hearts' blood, Smote them back and made them feel- "How the hand of God was on them, How the power was with the right; How weak all of human error, How, Gods truth and right make might, "But, not all come to this greeting, Some sleep on the field of blood, O Great Ruler! May our fallen Be to Heaven with the good, "For their country have they perished, But to live beyond the grave; And their names will e'er be cherished, With the patriot fallen brave. "Long remembered with the living, For their glorious deeds now o'er Long from loved ones tears will startle, But the fallen come no more "We will tell their tale of glory, To the men of coming time; How they fought and died all gory, To crush out the rebel crime, Then, brave men will praise their valor, And fair youth will deck their grave; Old men come to where they slumber, To weep o'er the patriot brave, "Blest be you! Thrice welcome Heroes, Warm hearts, greet you here to-day Welcome! Welcome! Faithful servants, Honor waits you on your way. Grateful men and grateful women, Come to join in greeting now, To the care-word, sunburnt soldier, And with laurels deck his brow, "O Great God! Be with our nation! Peace! O peace! Come to our land! Make us one united people, One free, just and happy band." It was with great difficulty that the crowd could be kept out of the building, so as to enable the ladies and gentlemen who waited upon the men to attend to their duties. A guard had to be stationed at the doors, and, although some of our country friends complained a little, it was a military necessity they had to submit to. "After the regiment had finished their dinner, the returned under Captain TITUS, and the Provost Guard, Captain MAGUIRE, and citizens, generally, finished up the festival. "SWORD PRESENTATION TO COLONEL GLANZ. "The music of Coates' Cornet Band, upon the Speakers stand, then announced that something else was to be done, and soon the soldiers and citizens gathered around. "Here the splendid new sword, purchased by the regiment for Colonel Glanz (a description of it was published in the Express), was formally presented to him, in behalf of the officers and men of the regiment, in it very neat and appropriate speech, by Captain HOWARD REEDER, as follows: "Colonel, After sharing the perils and hardships of a soldier's life for ten months, we meet here this day for the purpose of saying farewell, We meet, here as a regiment for the last time; but, before we part, we desire to give this sword to our brave and noble commander, as a slight testimony of the high esteem and regard in which we hold him. The One Hundred and Fifty-third is now a thing that was. Its organization exists no longer; but never will one member of that regiment forget its noble and gallant leader. Never, I say, until the life-blood ceases to ebb and flow through the channel, of his earthly frame. 103 "Colonel-take this sword-it comes from the living and the dead. In it, not only do the living speak their gratitude, but, those who lie beneath the soil of Chancellorsville and Gettysburg, raise their voices from the hollow of their tombs, and ask not to be forgotten. Nobly have you done your duty; faithfully have you obeyed your country"s call, and well do we know, when we give you this sword, that it will never be sheathed in a just, and never unsheathed in an unjust cause. "On receiving the sword, Colonel GLANZ responded in the following: 'Officers and Members of the One Hundred and Fifty-third Regiment-owing to the excitement of to-day, and not feeling in a condition to respond in proper terms to the allusions made by Captain Reeder, I feel somewhat embarrassed in replying to the complimentary remarks, made on this occasion. Most highly do I appreciate the favor which you have bestowed upon me, and I am free to confess that I do not deserve the mark of honor which you so kindly accord me. I know full well that I have been, to a certain extent, deficient in many things which devolved upon me; but, while I am willing to make the acknowledgment, I must be permitted to say that I have at all times endeavored to do everything in my power to advance the interest and promote the welfare of the members that composed this regiment. Knowing now well and nobly you have, on every occasion, acquitted yourselves, whether in camp or on the field, I cannot but esteem it a most signal honor that I, although foreign born, should have been selected to command you. Be assured that I hold this to be the proudest moment of my life, and whilst memory lives, shall the men and deeds of the One Hundred and Fifty-third never he forgotten by him whom you did the honor to call your leader. Once more permit me feebly to express my thanks for this unmerited tribute, and believe me, I shall always entertain for you a most lively regard.' "At the conclusion of the presentation exercises, the crowd began to disperse, and it was a pleasant sight to see the soldiers as they dashed off through the grounds, escorted by their country friends, on the one side, and on the other side of him was his wife, sister, or mother, and behind, some of his neighbors, anxious to hear every word he had to say. Many of the country people had already driven their carriages out to the grounds, and here they loaded up their friends and merrily drove away to their homes. Those who had left their carriages, in town, drove their friends down in omnibuses, and then loaded, and before the sun was set, Easton had resumed her usual quiet and repose, except, at Colonel GLANZ'S saloon, where there seemed to be a constant crowd passing in and out. Everybody went there to shake hands with the Colonel, and he, although much exhausted, had a smile and a hearty 'wee-gates' for every one that called. "Thus passed the reception of the One Hundred and Fifty-third Regiment. The immense crowd of people that gathered in upon us at so short notice and at such a busy season, proves to what estimate this regiment is held by the people of this county." CHAPTER XLI. NAMES AND RECORD OF OFFICERS AND PRIVATES FROM NORTHAMPTON COUNTY, MUSTERED INTO THE NATIONAL SERVICE IN THE WAR OF THE REBELLION FIRST REGIMENT, P. V. (Three months service) THIS regiment was organized at Harrisburg, on the twentieth of April, 1861, under the following officers: Samuel Yolle, of Easton, Colonel; Tilghman H. Good, of Allentown, Lieutenant-Colonel; Thomas W. Lynn Major; James Miltimore, Adjutant. A band of music from the city of Lancaster was attached to the regiment. Muskets were furnished to the men, as also cotton haversacks, bacon and hard-tack, and twelve rounds of ammunition, but no cartridge boxes nor uniforms. The same night the regiment left Harrisburg by the Northern Central Railway, proceeding south, to a point near Cockeysville, Maryland, where they were halted. The design was that they should protect the bridges on the railroad, and after a time open communication with Washington City. Certain of the influential men of Maryland, however, objection to the military occupation of their State, and representing that it would very probably lead to its secession (which was then being agitated), the regiment retired to Camp Scott, near York, Pennsylvania, on Monday, the twenty-second. Here it remained in drill, until the fourteenth of May when the objections to a military occupation of Maryland being withdrawn, it was detailed as a guard to the Northern Central Road, from Druid Park, Baltimore, to the Pennsylvania line. From this duty, on the twenty-fifth of May, it was transferred to Catonsville, Maryland, to guard the roads from Frederick City and Harpers Ferry. Here, the regiment received tents and camp equipage, and on the twenty-ninth, it, was ordered to advance six miles to Franklintown, but on the same guard duty as before. June 3d, it was ordered to join the forces, then concentrating at Chambersburg, where it was brigaded in Wynkoop's Brigade of Keirn's Division, of the army of General Patterson. This brigade soon advanced to Funkstown, Maryland, and there encamped. While there an alarm was given of a movement of rebels in the vicinity of Williamsport, on the Potomac River, and the command was marched to haste to that point, only to find that all was quiet along the Potomac, and to return, thereupon, to camp, which was reached after great fatigue, and an absence of twenty-four hours. About that time new uniforms were issued to the regiment, which greatly improved its appearance. On the twenty first of June, orders were received to provide ten days rations (three days" cooked) and move in haste to occupy the town of Frederick, Tents were immediately struck, and the next day the command was reported to Governor Hicks at that place. After remaining here some two weeks, the regiment was ordered to Martinsburg, Virginia. The following day it reached the Potomac at Williamsport, and fording the river, encamped that night at Falling Waters, and in the morning, marched to Martinsburg, and joined the division of General Patterson. Upon the forward movement of the division, July 14th, the First Regiment remained at Martinsburg, as a garrison for that post, which was Patterson's has(,, of supply. Only two days later, it was relieved of this duty, and ordered to rejoin the division at Charlestown. At this place, on the seventeenth of July, an order was received to hold the command ready to move forward, without baggage, and with ten days cooked rations in haversacks. This was in anticipation of the battle which McDowell fought, four days later at Bull Run By some misunderstanding, the command of Patterson did not participate in that disastrous struggle; and on the twenty-first, the regiment was ordered to move to Harpers Ferry, and from there, on the twenty-third, to Sandy Hook, whence it was transported to Harrisburg, and there mustered out, of the service, its time of enlistment having expired. The duties assigned to the regiment during its term of service were always well performed, and its record is extremely creditable.

Longnecker, of Allentown Lieutenant-Colonel, W. H. R. Hangen, of Allentown Major, Charles Glanz, of Easton Adjutant, Thomas S. Bell, of West Chester The command remained at Camp Curtin until May 4th, when it was ordered to West Chester, and arrived at that place, by rail, at about nine o"clock in the evening; and, as they had no tents or camp equipage, they were quartered in the Court House, and in one of the school houses, while the citizens of the town most cheerfully provided everything necessary for their comfort. A camp was, however, soon established, near the town, and named "Camp Wayne," in honor of "Mad Anthony," of the Revolution. On the twenty-sixth of May, the regiment moved, by railroad, to Wilmington, Delaware, where it had been ascertained that many disloyalists were drilling, in camps of instruction, with a view to joining the rebel cause. The presence of the Ninth, it was supposed, would check this movement, and strengthen the loyal sentiment in the place. A camp was established at Hares Corners, on the New Castle road, and here the regiment remained until the sixth of June, at which time it was ordered to join General Patterson's command, at Chambersburg. Reaching that town by rail, the Ninth was brigaded in the Fourth Brigade, commanded by Colonel Dixon H. Miles, and in the division of General Cadwalader. On the thirteenth of June, the command moved out on the Greencastle road, and encamped in the vicinity of some Rhode Island regiments, one of which was commanded by Colonel Burnside, afterwards Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Potomac. On Sunday, June 16th, the Ninth-holding the right of the brigade line -forded the Potomac River and encamped on the Martinsburg road. The next day, Colonel Miles was ordered to Washington, with the regular troops under his command, and, therefore, turned over the command of the remainder of his brigade to Colonel Longnecker, of the Ninth. At the same time, he ordered him to march his command back to Williamsport, and report to the division commander, General Cadwalader. That officer, on receiving Colonel Longnecker's report, ordered him to camp, at the ford of the river, for the purpose of guarding it. On that duty the regiment remained until the first of July, when a forward movement was made across the river, by the entire army; the -Ninth Regiment included. The engagement of Falling Waters had then just been fought, and, on the night of the Second, the regiment encamped on that battle-ground. The next day, it went into camp at Martinsburg, and remained there until the fifteenth, when it moved, with the brigade, to Blinker Hill. It had been contemplated, by the general, to move forward and attack the enemy, who was, in the vicinity of Winchester, but upon consultation with his subordinate officers, Patterson changed his plan, and the brigade of Longnecker was ordered to Charlestown. There it remained in camp until the twenty-first, when it moved to Harpers Ferry, and crossed to the Maryland side, fording the Potomac not far above the railroad bridge, or rather, the place where the railroad bridge had been. The next, day, orders were received to march to Hagerstown, and proceed thence, by rail, to Harrisburg, for discharge, as the period of enlistment had expired. And so, on the twenty-fourth of July, the men of the regiment received pay for their three months service, and were honorably mustered out. 105 Below is the roll of the company from Northampton county.

(Three years' service) The companies of which the Twelfth Reserve was formed, were originally raised for the three months service, but not, accepted for that term, and made their rendezvous at Camp Curtin, until organized its a regiment, under Colonel John H. Taggart, Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel N. Bailey, and Major Peter Baldy-the latter from Northampton county, This organization was made on the twenty-fifth of July, 181861, but it remained at Camp Curtin, on mustered, until the tenth of August, when it, was mustered into the United States Service, and on the same day marched, under orders to report to join the command of General Banks, at Harpers Ferry. But, on arriving at Baltimore, the order was countermanded, and the regiment reported to General McCall, and was incorporated with his division of Pennsylvania Reserves, at Tenallytown, four miles above Washington, on the Rockville road. It laid in camp, at that place, until the tenth of October, when it crossed the Potomac to Virginia, and went, into winter quarters at Langley. On the twentieth of December, the Twelfth was one of the regiments which made a reconnaissance to Dranesville, where a skirmish was had with the enemy, in which one man was slightly wounded. On March 10th, 1862, the Twelfth left their camp and marched to Hunters Mills, in the general forward movement of McClellan, on the enemy at Manassas, but when it was ascertained that he had evacuated that position, the troops all returned over the roads on which they had advanced. The Reserve division now being attached to the command of General McDowell, the Twelfth was detached, on the nineteenth of April, and sent on duty to guard the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. On the sixth of May, it was ordered to Falmouth, to join the division, and on its way there was fired on by guerrillas, who captured four men and wounded one. After burning the house and out-buildings, in which the rebels had been concealed, the regiment proceeded to Falmouth. At Belle Plain, it embarked, under orders to join McClellan's command on the Peninsula. Landing at White House, on the Pamunkey, an the fourteenth of June, the regiment marched thence with the brigade, by way of Dispatch Station, to Ellerson's Mill, on Beaver Dam Creek, which was in plain sight of the rebel pickets. It was while lying at this point that the Twelfth first saw fighting, on the twenty-sixth of June, of which, and the series of battles which followed-ending at Harrisons Landing, on the James-mention has already been made. On leaving the Peninsula, after a six weeks stay in the vicinity of Harrisons Landing, the regiment joined the army of General Pope, near Warrenton, having gone by way of the river, to Falmouth, and thence, on foot, to the point of destination. In the afternoon of the twenty-eighth of August, the regiment barely escaped a surprise by the column of Jackson, and on the next day, participated in the action at Groveton, by which its loss was several, killed and wounded. In the battle of the thirtieth, it performed excellent service, losing five killed and thirty-eight wounded, among which latter was the commander of the regiment, Colonel Hardin. Worn-out and tattered, the Twelfth was now hurried from Virginia, to the Maryland campaign of South Mountain and Antietam, and thence back to the slaughter of Fredericksburg, from which, after a season of rest and recuperation-both sadly needed-it was marched to the dread conflict at Gettysburg, as has been mentioned in the account of those battles. During the campaign which followed Gettysburg, covering the remainder of the year 1863, the Twelfth was engaged in the actions of Bristoe Station-October 14th-Rappahannock Station-November 19th-and Mine Run, on the twenty-sixth of the same month. Its winter quarters were taken on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, in the vicinity of Catlett's Station. On the fourth of May, 1864, the regiment moved from its winter quarters, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Gustin, and was present in the three days battle of the Wilderness, and also at Spottsylvania Court House, and did good work, at Guinea Station, Jericho Ford, and also at Bethesda Church, where it received, and repulsed, the most desperate assault, of the enemy On the day of that battle, the term of its service expired, and, orders being received for its discharge, it was transported to Harrisburg, and there paid and mustered out, on the eleventh of June, 1864.

FORTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT, P. V. (Three years' service) On the first of September, 181861, this regiment was organized at Camp Curtin, by the appointment of Tilghman H. Good as Colonel G. W. Alexander, Lieutenant-Colonel William H. Gausler, Major James W. Fuller. Jr., Adjutant Uniforms and equipments were issued to the companies when they were mustered in. Marching orders being received, the regiment left camp, and proceeded to Washington City, arriving on the twenty-first of September, and camped on Kalorama Heights. On the twenty-seventh, it moved across Chain Bridge, and encamped at Fort Ethan Allen, being assigned to the Third Brigade of General W. F. Smith's Division. On the twenty-ninth, before daybreak, air alarm was given of an attack in the direction of Falls Church, where the rolling of volleys could be plainly heard. The Forty-seventh marched in quick time towards the supposed battle-ground, but on arriving near the scene of the firing, it was, found that the Sixty-ninth and the Seventy-first Pennsylvania regiments had fired on each other by mistake. From Ethan Allen the regiment moved to Camp Griffin, and took part in the great review of eighty thousand men at Bailey's Cross Roads, on the eleventh of October. It barely missed the pleasure of joining in the Dranesville skirmish; the enemy having disappeared before they reached the ground. On the twenty-second of January, 1862, the command was ordered to join the forces of General Brannan, and proceed with them to Key West, Florida. Having been armed with Springfield rifles, it embarked on board the Steamship Oriental, at Annapolis, on the twenty-seventh, and arrived on February 4th, at Key West, where it was brigaded and drilled in heavy artillery tactics at Fort Taylor. On the eighteenth of June, it embarked to, Hilton Head, S. C. arriving there on the twenty-second, and encamped in the rear of Fort Walker. About the second of July, it was moved to Beaufort, where it remained until about the twenty-fifth of September, when it departed, under General Brannan, for St. Johns River, Florida; the force accompanying it being the Seventh Connecticut, the first Connecticut artery, and a company of the First Massachusetts Cavalry. 107 The first objective point was St. John's Bluff, the rear of which they reached on the evening of the second of October. In the morning, the command moved to the assault, but found that the works had been evacuated during the night, leaving eleven excellent pieces of artillery, and a large amount of ammunition. Companies " E " (Northampton) and " K " pursued the retreating enemy, and captured the town of Jacksonville. Three weeks longer the Forty-seventh remained in Florida, during which it took part in the sharp fights at Frampton and Pocotailgo Bridge, in which it incurred a loss of twenty killed and one hundred and fourteen wounded, and received complimentary mention in General Orders for gallantry. On the twenty-third, the object of the expedition being accomplished, it returned to Hilton Head, whence, on the fifteenth of November, the Forty-seventh was ordered again to Key West, and arriving there three days after, was assigned to the duty of garrisoning forts, Jefferson and Taylor. Here they remained until February 25th, 1864; five hundred men of the command having, during that time, re-enlisted, and received veteran furloughs. At that time it was ordered to New Orleans, arid embarking on the steamer Charles Thomas, arrived opposite that city oil the twenty-eighth, whence it proceeded to Franklin, La., by way of Brashear City and Bayou Teche. There it was assigned to the First Brigade in Emory's Division, of Franklin's Corps-the Nineteenth, The command then formed a part of the expedition of General Banks to the Red River, the base of which was to be at Alexandria, and the objective point, Shreveport. From Franklin, the regiment moved, with its brigade to, and through Nachitoches, and in the evening of the seventh of April, encamped at Pleasant Hill. On the next day, firing was heard for hours in the direction of Sabine Cross Roads, and the Forty-seventh was hurried up to the front, but before reaching the scene of conflict, our forces were met in full flight before the victorious enemy. The brigade line of battle was at once formed on a rise of ground, and poured their volleys into the faces of the on-coming rebels, with such precision and effect that their courses was arrested, and though they made persistent effort- to break the line, it was all unavailing; the position was held against the victorious enemy until darkness closed around, and during the night the command withdrew and returned to Pleasant Hill, where the next day a desperate battle was fought, which raged with great fury for nearly six hours. One of the charges of the enemy was met by a counter-charge of the Forty-seventh, in which the rebels were driven back with a loss of several cannon. In the fight of the previous day the loss of the regiment was more than fifty killed and wounded, and, in that of Pleasant Hill it was greater, including Lieutenant-Colonel Alexander and two color sergeants, among the wounded. From Pleasant Hill (although the action was a victory) the Union forces retired to Alexandria, where they arrived on the twenty-fifth. The regiment had now marched eight hundred miles in Louisiana, and had suffered a loss in killed, wounded, missing, and by sickness, of two hundred men. It remained at Alexandria and Simmsport, until the twentieth of June, when it was moved by river to New Orleans, and thence, under orders, to Washington, where it arrived on the twelfth of July. It was how ordered to the Shenandoah Valley, to join the army of General Hunter, who was, however, soon superseded by Sheridan, and the forces reorganized as the "Army of the Shenandoah." In the battle of Opequan, September 19th, the Forty-seventh was posted on the extreme right of the corps, and suffered heavy loss in the assault upon the enemy's works. Retiring from the field, the rebels posted themselves, strongly at Fishers Hill, and here the regiment was again engaged, but with not so much loss, as at the Opequall, on the nineteenth of October, it did excellent service in the battle of Cedar Creek, for which it was complimented on the field by General Stephen Thomas. This was the occasion of Sheridan's famous ride "from Winchester, twenty miles away." The army being in full tide of retreat, Sheridan came suddenly and unexpectedly on the field, and by his presence, turned defeat to splendid victory. In this, and the fight of the succeeding day, the loss was one hundred and seventy-six, in killed, wounded, and missing. At Camp Fairview, near Charlestown, the regiment took its winter quarters. On the fourth of April, 1865, it moved up the Valley, through Winchester and Kernstown, but the great news from Appomattox Court House reached it a few days later, and then the boys knew that their fighting days were over. They were, moved to Washington, and there participated in the great review of the three armies, May 23d and 24th. On the first of June, the Forty-seventh was ordered to Savannah, Georgia, and arrived there on the sixth. A mouth later it, was moved to Charleston, where one of the Northampton companies (" E ") garrisoned Fort Moultrie, the very work which had fired the first shot, at the flag. At last, their time expired, and on the third of January, 1866, the regiment faced towards home. It arrived safely at New York, after a very boisterous passage, and thence proceeded to Camp Cadwalader, where it was mustered out of service oil the ninth of January. Few regiments served over a more extended space of country, or saw as long and laborious service. It had marched and fought in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Louisiana, and traveled far, both by sea and by land, and now came home to enjoy the peace which its member, had so faithfully helped to secure. Of the two Northampton companies ("A" and "E"), the former had served honorably through the three months service in the latter, in the First.
