LADIES AND GENTLEMEN', AND COMRADES OF THE VETERAN CLUB OF CENTRE COUNTY;—AS ap propriate to the occasion • which brings us together, I propose to en tertain you for a short time as well as I can, with a statement of the organizations which our county sent into the field under the various calls for troops in the late war of the re bellion; and also with a brief review of the services of a regiment well known to you, and to whose carreer many of you s till glauce back with profound interest au£ tonest pride. THREE MONTIIS SERVICE. Under the first call for 75,000 in§n to serve three months, the State of Pennsylvania furnished twenty-five regiments. Centre oounty was represented in these reg iments by five companies, as fol lows: Company H, 4d Regiment; Company H, 4th Regiment; Com pany H, 7th Regiment; Company B, 10th Regiment; Company I, lotli, Regimeut. The aggregate number of these companies was about 400 rank and file, and their service, with • the exception of II company of the 4th regiment, was with the array of General Patterson, in Maryland, and in the Shenandoah Valley, Vir ginia. II company, of the 4th reg boent, served at Annapolis, Wash ington, Alexandria and Fairfax. In the army of General McDoweli the regiment belonged to the Ist .brigade, 3d diVison. While it was not the fortune of . these troops to pass through hloody battles, they doubtless experienced many of the toils, hardships and prorations ef an army compaign in the field. An incident befell Com pany I, of the 15th regiment, which caused much excitement in tbe county, and extrem anxiety to tl*e friends of members of tbe company. The 15th regimeut, with Gen. Pat terson, crossed the Pott mac from Maryland into Virginia, on the 2d day of July, 1861. Soon after the crossiug had been effected, a de tachment of Company L, consisting of an officer and thirty-four men, was deployed to the front as kir misuers. These skirmishers had not proceeded far until tkey weie sur rounded and the entire party cap tured by Ashby *s cavalry. The captors were mistaken for Union soldiers and their approach was not opposed. When the mistake was, discovered it was too late to resist As pisoners of war, these men were immediately marched on foot to Richmond, and as tbev were among the first captures they attracted much attention, and, under the hot animosities of the hour, were no doubt the objects of many taunts and insults. After some time they were sent to New Orleans, where they remained in confinement until the approach of Butler and Farra gutt in April, 18G2, threatened that city, when they were removed to Salisbury. N. C. Soon after their arrival at the latter place, they were .exchanged, after having Keen held nearly a year. Six of the number died while prisoners; a proportion of their number that would scarce, ly nave been greater had they been obliged to undergo the chances of a great battle. THE THREE TEARS SERVICE. The battle of Bull Run was fought July 20th, 1861, and while its results were indeed humiliating to the TTn fnide. It had the effect of arous ing the North to a realizing sense of the fact that it hod a great war, probably of long duration, on hand It also demonstrated the utter folly of sending levies of raw and andis cipiined militia, With short terms of service, into the field, in the expec tation that armies made up of such material would fight successful bat tic. Many of the illusions of the liour were dispelled, and when the call for 300.000 men to serve three years came, the patriotic sentiment of the couutry proved equal to the emergency, and responded with fer vor aDd alacrity. In the three years service the following are the organ isations credited to Centre county: Company E. sth Penn. Reserves; Company E, Ist Penna. Cavalry, Company A, 45tb Regiment; Com pany D, 45th Regiment; Company E, 45 Regiment; Company A, 49th Regiment; Company G„ 49th Regi ment; Company G # Mat Regiment; Company F, 56tb Regiment; Coua- Jf sGth Reg : Company A, 148 Reg.; Company B, 148 th Reg.; Company C, 148 th Reg.; Company D, 148 th Reg,; Company F, 148 Reg.; Com pany G, 148 th Reg.; Company 11, 148 th Regiment. We have seventeen companies, or an aggregate of 1,000 men. In ad dition to these companies credited wholly to Centre county, Company li, of the; 45th, is credited to Centre and Lancaster; Company D, of the 53d, to Centre and Clearfield; Com pany I, of the 56th. to Center and Luzerne; Company F, 2d Cavalry, to Centre and Clearfield; Company E, 7th Cavalry, to Centre and Clin ton; Company E, of the 93d, to Cen tre and Clinton, and Company K, of the 110 th, to Centre and Clear field. Centre county 4c also credited with men in the 'lßth cavalry, the 184 th and in one year service in the 210 th. In these the oompany or ganizations to which the men lie longed are not given. The 2ounty was not represented in the nine months volunteer or in the nine months diafted service, though one of the regiments of the latter was commanded by a Centre county sol dier, who had previously served with distinction in one of the three year regiment-s. The aggregate of Centre county men in the various companies and regiments named could no have been less than 2,000. MILITIA OF 1882 AND 1608. In the militia called into service for protectiou of the State in 1862, at the time of Lee's invasion of Maryland, the county sent the fol lowing companies into the field: Company D, 12th Regiment; Com pany C, 23d Bdrfiaient; Company F, 23d Regiment, and in the emergen cy of 1863, when Pennsylvania was invaded aud the battle of Gettys burg fought, -fowr -comparies were furnished, as follows: Company A, 46th Regiment; Company C, ,46th Regiment; Company C, Independent Battalion; Company D, Independent Battalion. To give a history ot the service of the organizations would be to repeat the events of >war in almost every locality west of the Mississippi that was trod by the footsteps of a soldier. It would be to tell again the story of Patterson in the Shenandoah Valley; of T. W. Sherman at Hilton lie id and the sea islands; of Burnside at Roanoke Islaed and Newberu; of McClellan on the Peuinsula, and again at Cramnton's Gap, South Mountain and Antietam; of Pope on thq R ipi dan, the Rappahannock and Bull Run; of Burnside in 1562, at Fred ericksburg and latter at Knoxville; of Hooker at Chancellorsville; of Mead at Gettysburg, Bristoe and Mine Run; of those who went to Vicksburg and faced Johnston on therbig Black and at Jackson; of Thomas at Nashville, aud of that long, bloody and toilsome campaign from the Rapidan to the James, thence to Petersburg with its trying days, and finally on to the surrender at Appomatox. It would be far too much for the occasion, and I can therefore only attempt a rapid sketch of the 148th—the regiment with which I was in a humble way iden tified. THK 148 th. Early in the month of August, 1862. and partly with a view to save Centre county from the operations ef-the draft then pending, it was thought that a regiment of volun teers might be raised In addition to the auraerous companies already in the feM frera tiro -county. -Under the inspiration and influence *of many prominent citizens, public meetings were held iu various por tions of the county, and earnest ap peals were made to the young men to enlist, especially to those of some of the townships which up to that time had not given as#bany men to the army as it was thought they might. By energetic and unceasing efforts, before the end of the month came, seven oempanies, numbering over 600 men, were recruited, and taken to Camp Curtin, at Harris burg. For tbe time being it was thought this about exhausted the material of the county. These seven companies were composed entirely of Centre county men, except a sturdy little baud from the wilds of Cameron county, who joined Com pany F, at Harrisburg. Three oth er companies—twa from Jefferson and Indiana and one from Clarion were united to the seven, and form ed the regiment known as the 148 t h regiment was organized on the Bch day of September, 1862. The Centre county companies were A 4 F, G, and H; the Jefferson and Indiana and Clarion companies, E, I and K.. The regiment march ed from Camp Curtinon the evening of the 6th of September. atsd imme diately began its career of service. The Army of the Potomac had been withdrawn from the Peninsula, Pope had been forced back to the defences of Washington, and Lee was about to invade Maryland. To protect the northern communica tions with Washington, therefore, became an urgent necessity, and, the 143 th was one of the regiments placed on duty along the railway north of Baltimore. Starting by rail from Ilarrisburg, the morning uf the 9th ound as at Cockeyville 15 miles from Baltimore. Camps were formed ft Cockey vllle, Rutherg. vttle, Gunpowder Bridge, Phoenix and Glencoe, covering about twelve miles of the railroad,'with the regi mental headquarters at Coakeyville. The battles of Smith Mountain and Antictam were -in the meAHtime fought and the tide of war again flowed back to Virginia. We still remained in Maryland, and under a rigid system of drills and inspec tions the regiment made rapid pro gress in discipline, and in all duties of the soldier in camp. About the only drawback to efficiency was in the arms received at Ilarrifcburg—a short, heavy, unwieldly, worthless gun, surmounted by an ugly sabre bayonet and called tlie Vincennes rifle, calibre 09. When wo joined the army of the Potomac, carrying these ugly implements of destruc tion— though they were not very dangerous— tne boys were often taunted wttlf beiug heavy artillery or dismounted cavalry, oracrossbe tween the two—the gun represent ing the one arm of service and the sabre bayonet the other. To their credit, however, be it said, they lore all with as good grace as possible* though- sometimes it did make thein * little angry. These arms were Af terwards exchanged for bright, new Springfleld rifles, and there were no more jeers or taunts. The armies in Virginia confronted eacli other at Fredericksburg, and in the month-efcDeceraber, the 148 th was ordered from the pleasant camps of the past three months -to the front. Passing through Baltimore and Washington—a tiresome march to Liverpool Point—thence by ferry boars across the Potomac to Ac quia Creek Landing—another march of twelve or fifteen miles on a cold dreary, drizzly afternoon and night to Falmouth, and on the 18th of De cember we became a part of the army of the Potomac, joining the Ist brigade, Ist-division, 2d Army Corps. From that time until the end of the war the fortunes of the regiment were ideutffied with the . oi eratioiiß of that aimy. We marched to Chancellovsville, and in the struggle of May Ist, 2nd and 3d, 1863, the metal of our ranks was fiist tested, and thssever tv of the test is shown by the long sad list of killed and wounded. The result of the battle was unfortunate, aud we tramped ba.-k, through mud •and rain, to the odd-camp uear Fal -ooouNi. The prospect was not en couraging. A short ten days previ ous we had gone for h cheerful and ouoyant, with full ranks in splendid array. Just before we started the Governor of the State locked imon us, his neighbors and friends, with pride swelling his warm heart, and he spoke eloquent, hopeful words to us. After our return he eaw us agaiu, and to him what-a sorrowful contrast! The ranks were no longer full; many noble fellows, well known to him, bad fallen; many others were suffering from painful wounds; and withal there was no success to cheer and compensate. Vain in deed were his efforts to conceal his sad emotions. Looks or words could not hide them, and few that heard his touching and pathetic ad dress in that disma l camp will ever : forget it. Among those who fell were Lieuts. Wm. 11. Bible and Frank Stevenson, both of Company C. Both were well known in the regiment and sadly missed. Lieut. Bible was cast in nature 1 * biggest mould. His tall, commanding form always attracted notice, while his an any excellent traits had drawn nearly all of his brother officers to ward him in ties of warm friend slap. Lieut. Stevenson -disc had tnatry friende, who will not soon permit the remembrance of his hap py, jovial disposition to drop from memory. But it is not for soldirrs tc brood long in gloom and despair over the past. A few weeks given to recu peration, and the regiment was once more ready for the fleM wlieuever the summons should come. For this we did not have long to wait. Lee had begun his movement north which culminated at Gettysburg, and earlv in June, with the 2nd corps, we started in the same direc tion, matching byway of Stafford, Dumfries and Oecoquan to Ceutre viile, and from Centreville to Thor oughfare Gap, where we remained a number of days. Here we found some of the cavalry of the enemy hovering on our rear and flanks. They were not iu sufficient force to do much damage, but could cause annoyance, delay movements, occa sionally kill 3r wound a skirmisher and pick up the stragglers. Thus I it happened when we started from the Gap, we were obliged to make the march with some circumspec tion, and, in coming out, the head and flanks of the column were cover ed be a portion of the 148 th deployed as skirmishers and flankers. There was little or no deloy in the march, though a hattary in position near Ilaymarket for a short time made it slightly unpleasant for the rear. Thenee we moved by Gum Springs to the Potomac, which was erossed at Edward's Ferry, and we reached the Monocacy, near Frederick in Maryland, on the 28Ji day of June.
