TENTH PENNSYLVANIA VOLUNTEER INFANTRY.

In addition to the three companies from Johnstown which were in the 3d Regiment, there were two other companies which followed within a few days. These were Capt. George W. Easly's, of Johnstown, and Capt. Richard White's, from Lilly and Wilmore.

These companies assembled in Camp Curtin, at Harrisburg, April 26, 1861, and organized the 10th Regiment. The field officers chosen were: Colonel Sullivan A. Meredith; LieutenantColonel Oliver J. Dickey; Major Richard White; Adjutant Daniel H. Heitshue; Quartermaster Alexander M. White; Surgeon, William H. Taggart, and Assistant Surgeon John I. Marks.

Company G was that of Maj. White's, commanded by Capt. James Carroll, and Company H by Capt. Easly.

The regiment left Camp Curtin on the afternoon of May 1 and proceeded by rail to Chambersburg, where it went into camp in a barracks provided with straw, at Camp Slifer, but the rations and clothing were insufficient. As soon as the loyal citizens heard of the situation, plenty of good food and clothing was provided.

The regiment was assigned to the Third Brigade, Brig. Gen. E. C. Williams; Second Division, Gen. Cadwallader, in the Army of the Shenandoah, under Maj. Gen. Patterson. On June 8 it moved to Camp Meredith, about a mile north of Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and resumed its company and battalion drills.

June 25 it joined the forward movement of Gen. Patterson's army, passed through Middleburg, Pennsylvania, about midday, and was refreshed with food and water given by its loyal people. The column proceeded and soon observed smoke arising from the ruins of the railroad bridge across the Potomac river at Harper's Ferry, which had been fired by the order of Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. After a march of twenty miles it went into camp at St. James College, about four miles from Williamsport fording. On June 16 the brigade moved to Williamsport, where the regiment was sent out in two battalions, one under Col. Meredith and Maj. White, in anticipation that the enemy would attempt to cross the Potomac at the many fords in that vicinity; however, none were discovered. On the 24th about twenty of the enemy. were discovered in the toll house on the Martinsburg pike, about a mile from the river, and a twenty-four pound smoothbore and an eight-inch howitzer were opened on the building. The first shot

struck it and the inmates were driven out. A splendid supper had been prepared for them, and not desiring to lose it, the enemy had halted a short distance from the house to consider the situation, when a shell from the howitzer scattered them in all directions. On July 2 the regiment crossed the Potomac and advanced along the pike towards Martinsburg, where it found the dwellings abandoned by the citizens, who had sought safety in flight. Company B had a skirmish on the 3d wherein one of the enemy was killed and two wounded. In the afternoon the whole column entered Martinsburg with demonstrations of joy and welcome.

The regiment was ordered to move at daylight on Monday, the 15th, with five days' rations in the haversacks. At that time it marched towards Bunker Hill, and on the way found numerous camping grounds of the enemy. It remained in the vicinity of Bunker Hill until the 17th, when it marched to Charlestown, where it arrived at 4 p. m. and encamped west of the town. On the night of the 20th it moved out on the road to Harper's Ferry for a distance of about two miles, and finding the enemy the troops were drawn in battle line. The 10th Regiment was facing the north, with its right resting on a thick wood, and the left on the river, but the enemy did not seek a contest and retired. The regiment remained in camp at this point until the 23d of July, where it received the disheartening information of the Union defeat at Bull Run. On the 24th the regiment moved to a point opposite Antietam creek, where it forded the Potomac and marched to Hagerstown, thence to Harrisburg by rail, where it was mustered out on the 31st, the three months' term having expired.

Capt. Carroll's company, with Maj. White, immediately began recruiting a regiment for a three year term, and soon organized the 55th Pennsylvania Infantry, wherein it was Company A, and Capt. Michael O'Connell's company of Johnstown became Company C.
