In response to the call of the chairman
of theconimiiw-ecn arrangements the 12.Mli
Pennsylvania Volunteers held their second
reunion on the battle-field of Antietam,
in Maryland, on the 17th and lftth of Sep
tember, insl. This regiment was comiosed
of four companies from Huntingdon eoun
ty and six companies from Blaircoiinty. in
cluding a contingent of about fifty men
from (Jallitzin and St. AiiguMiue, Cambria
county. The veterans to the ntimtier of
seventy-four met in theold town of Shars
burg, Md., on the evening of September 1,
S'.1, near the same giound where they had
been twenty-nine years liefore, and on the
eye of which occurred one of the bloodiest
battles of tlie war of the rebellion. We
were assigned quarters in the town, tlie
citizens not only preparing quarters for
our Imivs, but also for atnjut a dozen other
delegation of veterans from differeut ior
tions of the country. The numlier of vet
erans present was about l,Ui, which to
gether with the other visitors would run
the numlier up to aliout IJiuu. Tin roar of
artillery, the braying of buglws and tifes,
the rattle of drums soon aroused the
old town from its "Rip Van Wrinkle"
slumber. It is a typical Maryland town
of aliout 1, jwople, very quiet, off from
the railroad, and In the midst of a splendid
farming county. Tlie New York and
Maine regiments held their camp fire on
the evening of the loth. Rut I will limit
my remarks to the proceedings of our own
regiment and shall pass the others by.
The I2r,th I. V. me at the Dumcer
church at y o'clock on the morning of the
17th, where we had the pleasure of listen
ing to an able historical address by Auditor
General McCamant. After the address we
proceeded to the house of Mr. G. I-you,
about four miles distant, w here the 125th
hivouaced tht night before battle, and
followed as near as we could the route
taken on the day of the battle by our regi.
nient fronthis point, over fields and fenct-s,
through woods and ravines, from the east
woods to the west woods, across the Hag
erstown pike to the right and rear of the
Hunker :hurch, where we had our final
wind-i:p on that eventful day. On the day
of the battle we were under the command of
General Mansfield, whose army corps, the
12th, consisted wf two divisions, command
ed respectively by General Williams and
General Green. The right of Crawford's
brigade was the 12.1th P. V., commanded
by the veteran Col. Higgins. The fighting
commenced at daylight, Hooker's men in
: the advance
Mansfield's men supjorting
the rebels were gradually forced back un
til a point was reached aliout midway be
tween our bivouac of the night ijcfore,
and the Dunker church on the right of the
Smokctown ro'id, and to the right if the
big spring on S. lottenlergcr"s farm. Here
Hooker's troops were repulsed, having lost
terribly in officers aud men and Hooker
himself being badly wounded. His men
gave way, Mansfield's corps had to re
lieve Hooker, and stem the onward rush of
the exultant rebels who, with loud yells,
were following up their success.
Right here in front of a strip of woods in
an old field to the right (not to the left) of
the Smokctown road, during the deploy
ment of Williams' division, our gallant
leader, Geueral Mansfield, fell mortally
wounded while examining the ground in
frout of our regiment and was carried to the
rear a short distance by Sergeant John
Kohoe and Private Samuel Edmiston, of
Company K, After carrying the General a
short distance to the rear they were re
lieved by men of the 10th Maine, who now
claim it was in front of their regiment and
to the left of the. Smoketown road where
Mansfield was killed, and have at this date
a tablet marking the spot. This tablet,
however, is a falsehood to the extent of 400
yards at least.
After the fall of Mansfield the command
of the 12th corps fell to our General Wil
liams, who pushed his men rapidly forward
until our regiment on the right debouched
on the Hagerstown pike, between the
Dunker church and the house of D. R.
Miller, on the pike. We had by this time
driven the Confederates about one mile
from the spot where Mansfield fell, and the
key to their position on this part of the
field was in the woods west of the pike, to
the right and rear of Uio Duuker church.
Our General determined to make a desper
ate effort to carry this jtosition of the ene
emy. Our regiment was the one selected
to make the charge. We made the charge
in the face of a jierfect blizzard of shot.
ate
shell and musketry. We drove them la k
over rocks, stumps of tri"es and ocii
ground until we were brought Pi a stand
still by a flank tire which raked the entire
length of the regiment. No troop could
s land long before such a fire, and U-ing
without supiiort on our flanks, our Colonel
gave the order to fall bark. Just as we
wen- reerossing the pike, S-dgwicks troops
of Sumner's corsnme up and relieved us.
Had those troops come on the grounds
twenty minuP's sooner we could aud
would have hehl the xisjiim we had just
gained. As it was. we had cuci rated fm
ther into the Confederate lines on this part
of the field than any other Union troops
did that day. Other troops tried the task
afterwards but ncvei siice-eid in getting
across tin- pike. Our loss here w as fright
ful .h killed and 17 wounded, or 232 out
of a Mssible 7Kl. But show ingw hat kind of
pluck there was in those young fellows,
they wheeled into line with Sedgwick's
troojis aud were ready in ten minutes to
renew the deadly work again. The fight
ragi-d here with varied success for attout
two bonis, and the the lo-s on tioth sides
w as aw ful.
Bloody lane presented a ghastly sight, as
did also the ground around Ituiuside's
bridge, but no whereon Antietam field did
the dead and dying lay so thick as around
the little Ilunker church. On this part of
the field fell the I'uion Generals Mansfield,
Hooker. Uichardsoii. Craw ford and Ilart
suff, as did also the Confederate Generals
Stark. Pains, Douglass, Itcrksdale and
Law ton. Night 'Ios4-d the fearful slaughtei

fin Thursday evening we visited the
National cemetery where 4, nut I'nion sol
diers lie buried. This is a lovely Sot on
the top of a knoll, overlooking almir-t the
w hole of tlie battle field. The Government
has expended HOO.uoo in beautifying this
cemetery, and I ix-lieye there is not on this
earth a more lcautiful one. It is pitiable
P note that the ages marked upon fully
one-third of all the head-tones in the cem
etery are under 21 years. The oldest one I
saw was but 32 years. Well you showi-d
the world what loys could do for home
and country! May you all rest in icaec Is
the fervent prayer of a loving comrade.
You died in a noble cause! At 8 o'clock r.
m., we held our camp fire in the hall of the
Antietam Post G. A. R., which was gener
ously turned ever to us by that organiza
tion. It was a business meeting. Our vet
eran Col. Higgins w as the presiding ofticer,
and t-how-ed that he was well versed in par
llainentary rules as w ell as In military tac
tics. SiH-ches were made by Messrs. Mc
Camaiit. Wallace, Simpsou, Davison. Hicks
and others. While Hicks' tipeech did not
come up to the one he delivered here three
years ago. it was a business one, straight
forward an1 easily understood.
Quite a delegation of Iadi-s were present
at the reuniwn, accompanied by their hus
bands, fathers and brothers, and appeared
to be as deeply interested In view ing the
scenes upon the battle field and places as
wer the veterans themselves. Among the
ladies prescut I noticed the estimable wife
of Col. Higgins, Mrs. Hicks. Mrs. Irving,
Mrs. Strong and others w hose names I am
sorry I do not remember. It may le inter
