THE STARS & ST Three Years and Five Months Glory-—~More to Follow. We pow come to the great battle of Antietam. The name of this battle sends a thrill of pride through the heart of every survivor of the 28th Pennsylvania Volunteers. On this field we did our greatest work. On this field more men were killed and wounded in our immediate front than we had in the regiment. I wish to digress for one brief moment to relate what I believe was one of the bravest, if not the very bravest deed performed during the war. We were formed in the line of battle at the famous corn field awaiting orders. Pat McSbay, without the slightest SUs- picion of dariger, went into the corn field a few steps and canie upon a rebel holding a guidon on which they were STRIPES. With Od | forming a line of battle. He rau up and knocked the reb. down with his fist and brought the guidon out. Go- ing to the officer in command of our regiment, McShay informed him that | the enemy was forming line not more than thirty paces from ns, and would ‘soon open fire, at the same time beg- | ging the officer ‘0 give the command to fire. Having the gnidon for proof the officer without a moments hesitation saved our regiment from destruction, but was the means of destroying very ‘nearly a thousand of the enemy. This act turned the whole tide of battie on the right. No sooner had we delivered onr fire than we jumped the fence and for some time it seemed more likes Jah hunt than a battle between man and man. On, oa, nothing could stop ‘us. Commands of officers were un- ‘beard or unheeded, until we reached the opposite edge of the field. Here the enemy opened on us with artilery and an infantry fire on both flanks. We fall back to avoid their getting in- to our rear. Their artilery continged to play npon us with effect. Our Lien- tenant Colonel determined to captare the battery, and gave the order to charge. As we advanced we were | greeted by a decimating fire of grape and cannister and musketry. The regiment wavered for a moment. Colo- nel Tyndale grasped the flag and sword in hand advanced upon the battery, capturing it, and at the same time driving the enemy pell mell across the Hagerstown pike at the Dankard church, and down the slope to within a short distance of the Potomac. ‘Here our ammunition gave out, and not being supported we were obliged to fall baek. An advance of the enemy on our right nearly proved disastrous. Here we received a supply of ammunition, we in- { to them again and finally cleared the ' ground in our immediate front. Being completely exhausted, having opened the battle at 7:30 a. m. we were not re- lieved for a single moment till near 4 p- m., no further advan: and the fighting ended in our portion of the field. The loess to our company was 19 killed and wounded cut of 54 men going in, in the morning. Our single regiment captured four of artilery, nine battle flags and a large number of prisoners. | deem it unnecessary to give any of the minor incidents of this great battie further than to state that five of our color- as was also Hector - On the next morning our men were anxious to open the battle, but other counsel prevailed; so that we lay there several days waiting for the en- . emy to retire which left us in posession of the field. High privates are not sup- posed to criticise their officers. but after the battle we found that 15,000 of our men had been held in reserve.

Those ‘who were siill retained straock oat of spmpathy. The striking miners and a number of citizens held a metting at Reynolds ville Friday and appointed a commit- tee to wait on the operators. There was much indignation expressed over the alleged importation of Italians to work in the mines, and a motion was passed to indoee or compel the for- eigners to quit work. The committee appointed to wait on the operators called at the company’s office but the mine officials refused to meet them. The vardmen and operators on the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg railroad at DuBois were laid off Monday on ace court of the miner's strike. This road hauls all the coal to market from that - @action. The meeting of miners and citizens generally, held at DuBois Monday to discuss the strike situation, resulted in the appointment of a committee to draft resolutions for publication, ask- ing the mining company to reinstate the discharged men and condemning the company for the wholesale dis charge of employes in mid-winter. A few Italians who were working in Reynoldsvilile have joined the ranks of the strikers.
