HOW THEY HAD HIM.
When I was young and tender, too,
I had to mind, and had to do
Whitever mother bade . me; .
She used to have a walnut stick
Which .ICept * me on a'double quick,
Ankthativ,as 'where she bad me
When older grown, and quite a beau
Among the girls I need to know
A lgiss Priscilla Cadmy,—
And tth.the help of smiles and nods
I fell in love at forty rods,
' Al#l l- tliere is where she had me.
When was older say sixteen,
I thought it time to have a queen--
And asked her if she'd wed me:—
She said she didn't much object,
Or words to something of that effect,
AndAhat was where she had me.
But when to mako the matter straight,
I went up to nesotiate
Affairs with Col. Carey,
He said he "didn't care to sell,"
He told me I might go to—well,
And that was where he had me.
I drowlied my sorrows in a cup
Until I goi ray dander up—
(l couldn't have been madder,)
When she proposed that we be one
In spite of Pa; the thing was done,
And,that was where I had her.
Two lovely urebins on my knee
I'm proud to say belong to me—
(That is, to me and madam)
For when we left our native sod,
We spent a year or two abroad—
And there was where we had 'em
History of the 49th Ponsylvania.
BY A. B. BUTCITISON 7
Late Captain of Company 'C.'
[ISTRODI7CTORY.—In proposing the fol
lowing sketch of the career of the 49th Pa.
Vol., I do not expect to accomplish much in
either a literary or historical way. Neither
do I expect to furnish a history of the army
with which we were identified, nor of the
war in which .we were cagaged. No attempt
will be made to write up. or down, any offi
cer or man in the regiment. What is intend•
ed, and attempted in, simply to preserve the
record of events as They occurred in, and as
they appeared to, the regiment, or at least to
one of the members of the regiment.

Organization—Camp Curtin—Flag
Presentatton:—Alareh to Washing
ton by Rail—Accident near Balti
more—Amival at the Capital.
Our Regiment, the 49th Pa Vol.. was
organized by Col. William H. Irwin, at
Harrisburg, &miry , the mouths of Au
gust. and September, 1861 Col. Irwin
had served as Captain of Infantry in the
Mexican War; had been Breveted Major
for gallant and meritorious sevices, and
during the Summer had commanded the
Seventh Regiment of Penn'a Vols.. three
month's men, in the Army of Gen. Pat
terson. This first campaign had ended
with the disastrous battle of Bull Run.
The people were still very greatly excit
ed, and volunteers everywhere respond
ed with alacrity to the call of the Presi
dent for troops, The gloom which suc
ceeded the Bull Run defeat was being
dispelled, and new Lopes and new re
solves entertained by all classes of citi
zens. Early in September all the Com
panies which formed the Forty-ninth,
had rentlesvouxed at Camp Curtin, and
several Lad completed their organiza
tion. Companies —A" and "G" came
trout Centre; "B" and "F" from Ches
ter; "C"and"D" from Huntingdon; "E,"
and "K" from Mifflin, and "I"from
Juniata. As yet, but two of these were
regularly mustered into the' United
States service as companies, the remain
der waiting the requisite number of men.
The men were mustered as individuals,
or in squads as recruits, as fast as they
were accepted by the Surgeons; but n J
rolls, as evidence of this muster, were
ever furnished, the mustering officer de
clining to supply rolls except to complete
organizations. This omission was not
supposed, at that time, to be a matter of
any consequence. as all of us, officers and
men, were confident that our term of
three years would not find us in warlike
occupations during half its period, so
greatly did we underrate the means of
defence of our enemies, and so confident
ly did we. count on our speedy triumph;
relying on our own abilities, and the jus
tice of our cause to fright rebellion from
its foul design. And we relied implicit
ly, too, on the good faith of our Govern
ment, in whose service we had just em
barked, and would then have doubted his
loyalty, who should dare to question as
to whether we should be discharged
promptly at the end of three years of
honest service. Yet, afterwards, we
learned the importance of having all
things plainly written in the contract,
for the "pound of flesh" was demanded,
even as it was written in the bond. We
were compelled to serve some six weeks
over our three years. The few weeks
spent in Camp Curtin was a time of busy
preparation. The camp was crowded with

enthusiastic volunteers, and regiments
and companies were being hastily, and
in many cases imperfectly organized, and
hurried forward to the : defence of the
still ,beleaugered Capital. Guards were
not necessary then to see men to their
destined regiments. No bounties were
found necessary to persuade men to the
performance of a patriot's sacred duty
—none were found to tempt the vile deni
zens .of our Five Points, and alien con
victs to disgrace the blue uniform of the
American soldier.- .
Then we were learnitig to live in tents
—to handle the musket and the frying
pan--perfecting our very imperfect ed
ucation in warlike arts and kitchen
practices- . —itnagining ourselves soldiers,
when we were raw recruits, and believ
ing we were far from home, and endu
ring the'privations of a campaign, while
still in full view of our native mountains,
and in the midst of Pennsylvania's land
of plenty.
On Wednesday, the 18th day of Sep
tember, we 'received from the State au
thorities, by the hand of His Excellency,
Governor A. G. Curtin, our regimental
colors, a very. beautiful National flag,
with Pennsylvania's coat of arms, em
blazoned on the blue field amongst . the
stars. In- presenting, it., the Governor
favored us with a highly appropriate ad
dress. - Col. Irwin, in_accepting it on be
half of the regiment, pledged
.them "to
sustain it in honor while one man of
them should be left to defend our coun
try's cause." We redeemed the pledge,
and brought the old flag back in tatters.
After the presentation, a review and pa-.
rade of the regiment was had, in pres
ence of many spectators, and on our dis-
missal to quarters, the gratifying intel
ligence that we should soon be moved to
the city of Washington was communicat
ed to us. The 'announcement created
the most unbounded enthusiasm, for all
were anxious to reach the then seat of
war. Accordingly,on Saturday, the 21st
of Septeruber,we embarked,on two trains,
on the Northern Central Railway, and at
noon were off for Washington. •Our pro
gress was slow, but the journey was not
tedious, for all seemed to feel, and cer
tainly behaved, like children just releas
ed from school, and bent on a holiday.—
Our cars were not the most commodious,
being the sort denominated Sox; however,
I very much question if ever excursion
train carried lighter hearts, or merrier
passengers than the soldiers of the Forty
ninth going to war. But our journey was
not permitted to end as it commenced,
for ere we reached Baltimore, by the
stupidity or negligence of those in charge
of the rear train—the regiment occupied
two—it was allowed to run into the front
one, smashing the hindmost car, and in
stantly killing two men of Company G,
Daniel Parker and John Fulton,.of Cen
tre county, who were sitting on the plat
form. It was quite dark when the acci
dent occurred, and a scene of confusion
ensued beyond my ability to describe.—
Two men lay there mangled corses, and
to each man's fancy the absence of some
comrade was magnified into his sudden
death; so friends searched for each other,.
fearing to succeed in discovering only
their crushed remains. The rest of the
men escaped, however, with only a few
bruises, while the engineer of the rear
train was found very seriously, and as it
afterward proved, mortally wounded; a
fate that, in • all probability, was no worse
than would have been hie had he fallen
into the hands of the men alive and un
hurt. We gathered up the remains of our
comrades and slowly made our way to
Baltimore. The Union Relief Associa
tion afforded our men a very palatable
supper, and morning brought us, as (tom
rades, the Forty-ninth New York Vol.,
enroute also to Washington. Sister regi
ments from sister States, our pathways
through the war have never widely sepa
rated, eaoh having a record of honor
written in blood, and neither, a stain on
her banners. Leaving a detachment of
Company Cr' to bury their dead, we sped
on our way. It was a beautiful Sabbath
day when we saw, for.the first time, the
Dome of our Capitol, and realized a new
sense of our importance as defenders of
our Government. We had longed to be
counted amongst the brave defenders of
our country's Capital, and here it was
before us, with the banners of our re
bellious foes in view of it. Our whole
regiment was thus transferred to the
Federal Capital, and to Federal control,
except only Company F, which remained
at Camp Curtin to complete its organi
zation, a matter much needed in the cases
of several other companies. Thus far
our soldier experiences were smooth—
full of enthusiasm, excitement and anti
cipation. Hereafter comes the record of
our active service—our real experience.

Camp Juniata—A March in the Mud
—Our first Bivouac in Virginia—
Camp Advance—Banco& s Bri
gade—Camp Vandenverken—Pick
eting, Drilling and Fortifying— A
Rain Storm—Election—March to
Camp GrOn.
Our camp in Weshington was called
Juniata, in memory of the beautiful lit
tle river we left behind us up among the
mountains of Pennsylvania, never again
to be greeted by very many of our - com
rades. Here we continued our drills and
general military education—a matter
never neglected or lightly passed over by
our soldierly Colonel; but we were still
in discontent, for we awaited, impatient
ly, the order to cross the Potomac river
—to get to the front. In matters of this
kind, a little real experience is apt to
insure to a soldier sufficient patience—
when he awaits orders to go to the froni;
after. having been there for a time, his
resignation s Mader unexpected delays, is
instructive. -
Finally, on the 28th of September, just
a week after out: departure from Harris
burg, we received orders to move across
the river by way of Cha;a Bridge. We .
marched through the city or Washing
ton in most - excellent spirits;' freak, and
in good humor with the condition of at:
fairs: ' Our burdens were light, for our
baggage and knapsacks were 'hauled in
wagons, of which we had this day every
large number—in fact we do not recol
lect that the Quarter Master's Depart
ment ever furnished us with a second
example_ of such wonderful liberality in
the matter of tran,sportation,as on this
memorable occasion..
But ere we reached Georgetown it be
gan to rain, and it continued to rain
faster and longer, as the mud increased
in quantity, and our heavy evercoats in
weight. As we marched up the road on
the bank of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, the men picking a more road
pathway than' could be found in a
straight-forward course, straggled, wet
and muddy, plodding silently and grum
ly along—there was, perhaps, .but little
resemblance to the martial. appearance
we at least tried to put on, as we moved
in column, so prondly, a few minutes
earlier, through the streets of the Capi
tal, and by the White House. As we
neared the Chain Bridge, it began to
grow dark, evening approaching, hut
though weary and worn, when the bridge
was reached, the men went through it at
a double quick, cheering as they reach
ed the Virginia shore. Why this bridge
is called the Chain Bridge, is difficult,to
determine; there is nothing about it now
to suggest such a cognomen. It is an
ordinary wooden bridge, such as 'la us
ually built over our large streams.
Having crossed,. we marched labori
ously up the long winding ascent on the
Virginia side, answering the questions
of soldiers gathered along the road, and_
putting others to them, as to what regi
ment, where from, and hearing and re
plying to jokes, aimed at us by our new
acquaintances after the manner of sol
diers—till we reached the summit of the
bluffs which line the river at this point.
Here leaving the turnpjke u we passed to
the left, down a little ravine,' into a deep
hollow, in whieh was a small stream,now
considerably swollen by the rain..lt was
dark, and we had no guide, in conse
quence of which we forded the stream,
not more than five rods from a bridge,
and climbing to the sumit of an opposite
hill, halted: On this knoll was a hOuse
and stable, both empty. Wet, cold and
tired as we were, they were a welcome
atelier. Our baggage, even to knap
sacks, was on the train, and that in the
rear. The chances of our being able to
get the wagons up were small; and,
though parties tried to find them, noth
ing could be acertained until morning,
when the train was discovered on the
sides of the ravine opposite, the leading
wagon upset in the ditch. This being
our first forward movement in-Virginia,
was named Camp Advance, tholigh- bet
ter remembered in the regiment, froman
other circumstance, and, by a different
name. Building fires, of the fragments
of the stable . whioh fell a victim to mili
tary necessity, we biyortaced around
them, and waited for morning to take
our bearings. Then tents and baggage
came to hand, and we were soon in camp
again in order, and our excellent Chap
lain, Rev. Wm. Barnshaw, hold our first
religious services in Virginia. It was
Sunday. Here, too, we first performed
picket duty, and were turned out one
night by an alarm occasioned by some
of our troops firing upon each other by
mistake. The camp was constantly re
galed by rumors of every description,
one of which related that the enemy had
attempted to cross the river above us,
and had been repulsed by Bank's forces
with great slaughter, the river being
said to be filled with their • dead bodies
—a rumor strangely verified on our part
not long afterwards, when Balls Bluff 's
sad history was written. At Camp Ad
vance we were attached to Brig. Gen.
W. S. Hancook's Brigade of Brig. Gen.
W. F. (Baldy) Smith's Division, and
from this time forth. were never separat
ed from the Potomac Army, or relieved
from active duty in the field. Here our
'Army commenced to fellithe forests, and
build those immense works which now
environ our Capital. Here, too, were
formed the camps, in which was organ
ized, instructed, drilled and disciplined
that first Grand Army of the Potomac, of
which we may at least affirm, that we
"shall never look upon its like again•"
From Camp Advance' we moved a few
miles South to Camp Vanderwerken,
where our time was mainly occupied by
drill, picket and fatigue, the usual inci
dents of a soldier's life. On the night
of the seventh of October a heavy rain
fell, and as the quarters of our officers
were in a hollow, they spent a good portion
of the night perched on mess chests,
&c., keeping things dry—a mere incident
in camp housekeeping, in which we had
some lessons yet to learn. The eighth
of October was election day, and elect
ions were, accordingly, held in camp.—
vra discovered, on this day, that about
one-half, or a few more than a majority
of our men, were not voters, by reason
of being still minors, and the vote in
camp ivas neither large nor..-important,
and very much like the handle of a jug.
Afterwards our Supreme Court discov
ered that it was unconstitutional, so that
we might have saved ourselves this trou
ble. What a Court !
VOL, 1, NO. 9.
Next day we marched to Lewinsville,
approaching it elowly,_and with caution,
and settling down in bivouac in eight of
it at a late hour. For some reason we
were all verytired and hungry. We had
yet to learn not to be affected by the ex
citement of a soldier's life, for every
movement had, to our inexperience, a
grave significance.
We lay down by .a half finished rifts
pit, near a house, owned .by a Dr. Mack
lin which, being empty; was possessed
by our "Brigade ComMander, Gen. Han
cock, as his Read Quarters. Next day
we completed the rifle-pit, and Went. in
to camp on the plain near -the house -
This was Camp Griffin,, a place of many
very pleasant memories most. of us.—
Here we passed the , school-boy days of
our army life, - and we shall not aeon for-,
get the lessons we learned, nor elrer , our
stern, but brave and accomplished teach

who has since made for - himself an im
mortal name—Hancock.
