Armstrong County in The War of the Rebellion
78th Regiment P.V.I.
![]()
THE SEVENTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT, P. V. I.
The 78th regt. Pa. Vol. Inf. was recruited and organized by Col. William
Sirwell, at a rendezvous on the Allegheny river, immediately above the town of
Kittanning, in Armstrong county, Pennsylvania. This rendezvous was called
“Camp Orr,” in honor of Gen. Robert Orr, a distinguished citizen of
Kittanning, who had also rendered his country efficient service in the field
in the war of 1812.The companies composing the regiment came into camp in the following order:
August 14, 1861, a company from Kittanning, Armstrong county, Pa., in charge
of James S. Hilberry; August 27, 1861, a company from Indiana county,
Pennsylvania, in charge of William Cummins; August 29, 1861, a company from
Clarion county, Pennsylvania, in charge of John M. Brinker; August 29, 1861, a
company from Apollo, Armstrong county, Pa., in charge of Robert D. Elwood;
September 3, 1861, a company from Freeport, Armstrong county, Pa., in charge
of Dr. Charles B. Gillespie; September 5, 1861, a company from Armstrong
county, Pennsylvania, known as the “Buffington Blues,” in charge of
John Jordon; September 6, 1861, a company from Cherry Tree, Indiana county,
Pa., in charge of Michael Forbes; September 10, 1861, a company from Clarion
county, Pennsylvania, in charge of James N. Hosey; September 11, 1861, a
company from Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, in charge of Rev. De Witt C.
Hervey; September 17, 1861, a company from Butler county, Pennsylvania, in
charge of William S. Jack. These ten organizations remained in “Camp
Orr,” drilling and recruiting, until October 12, 1861, when they were
mustered into the service of the United States as the 78th regt. P. Vol. Inf.,
by Capt. H. B. Hays, U. S. A., mustering officer, on duty at Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania.On October 11 and 12, 1861, the government of the United States issued
clothing, arms and accouterments to all the companies except that commanded by
Capt. Charles B. Gillespie. On October 14, 1861, the regiment was transferred
to Pittsburgh by the Allegheny Valley railroad, where all the clothing, arms,
equipments, camp and garrison equipage yet required were drawn. On October 18,
1861, the field and staff of the regiment were mustered into the service of
the United States by Capt. H. B. Hays, as follows: William Sirwell, Armstrong
county, Pennsylvania, colonel; Archibald Blakeley, Butler county,
Pennsylvania, lieutenant colonel; Augustus B. Buffington, Allegheny county,
Pennsylvania, major; Richard C. Cristy, Butler county, Pennsylvania, chaplain;
Joseph W. Powell, Clarion county, Pennsylvania, adjutant; Adam Lowry, Indiana
county, Pennsylvania, quartermaster. The surgeon, William J. Mark, and
assistant William Morrow Knox, did not join the regiment until some time in
November, at Camp Nevin, Kentucky.On the afternoon of October 18, 1861, the regiment, accompanied by the 77th
regt. Pa. Vol. Inf., commanded by Col. Stambaugh, and the 79th regt. Pa. Vol.
Inf., commanded by Col. Hambright, and the 26th Pa. Batt. commanded by Capt.
Muller, all under the command of Brig. Gen. James S. Negley, of Pittsburgh,
embarked on steamboats, and proceeded to Louisville, Kentucky, and debarked
there on October 22.On October 24, the brigade, then known as the Pennsylvania or Negley’s
Brigade, was transferred by rail from Louisville to Nolin Station, near Nolin
creek, Hardin county, Ky., on the line of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad. At this place the division, known as the Old Second Division of the
Army of the Cumberland, under the command of Gen. A. McD. McCook, was
encamped, and the brigade of Negley was assigned to that division. The
encampment at this place was called “Camp Nevin.” The regiment
remained here doing regular field and camp duty until November 24, when it
with the brigade marched to the south side of Nolin creek and established
“Camp Negley.” The mortality of the regiment at Camp Negley was very
great, owing to the wet weather and the bad condition of the ground on which
the troops were encamped.On December 12 the regiment with the brigade marched southwardly to Bacon
creek, and remained there until December 17, when it again moved southwardly
to Mumfordville, Hart county, Kentucky, on the north bank of Green river,
where it was halted, and with the division encamped at “Camp Wood.”
The time here was spent in field and camp duty, drilling and picketing on the
south side of Green river to hold the south bank, and to protect the workmen
engaged in rebuilding the railroad bridge across the river at this point.On February 14, 1862, the spring campaign commenced. On that day the 78th
regiment with McCook’s division marched from the camp at Green river
northward, with the view of taking boats at West Point, on the Ohio, and
joining in Grant’s advance on Fort Donelson, but on arriving at Upton Station,
on the Louisville & Nashville railroad, the division was halted over
night, and on the following morning countermarched for Nashville.Passing the old encampment at Mumfordville, and crossing Green river, the
line of march was mostly along the line of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. Halting a few days at Cave City, and again in front of Bowling
Green, until the Barren river was pontooned, the regiment arrived at
Edgefield, opposite Nashville, on March 2, and on the 7th it crossed the
Cumberland river, marched through Nashville, and encamped two miles south of
Nashville, at “Camp Andy Jackson.”When Gen. Buell moved his army forward and joined Grant at Pittsburgh
Landing, he left Negley’s brigade in the rear to guard the communications from
Nashville to the front. The 78th was detailed to guard the railroad from
Nashville to Columbia, Tennessee, and was then ordered to Pulaski, Tennessee,
and garrisoned that place until May 12, 1862. On May 12, Gen. Negley passed
through Pulaski, on an expedition to drive the rebel cavalry across the
Tennessee river, and in this movement the 78th joined, and after severe
skirmishing drove the enemy across the river at Rogersville, Alabama, May 16,
1862, the expedition commenced the movement back to Columbia, arriving there
May 21. The 78th was again ordered to Pulaski, and arrived there May 23; held
the garrison till the 25th, and was then ordered to Rogersville, Alabama, and
stationed there to guard the passage of the Tennessee river at Lamb’s ferry.
While at this place the 78th made several excursions across the Tennessee,
capturing a considerable amount of rebel property with several prisoners. June
18 the regiment was relieved from duty at Rogersville and ordered to guard the
Tennessee & Alabama railroad, from Columbia to Elk river, with the
headquarters at Columbia. On August 31 the regiment was again assembled at
Columbia, and on September 1 commenced the march northward to Nashville,
constituting a portion of the rear guard of Gen. Buell’s army, then on the
race to Kentucky with the rebel army of Bragg, either moving on a line
parallel to that of the other. September 2 the regiment encamped five miles
south of Nashville, at “Camp Lucinda,” and on September 10 the
regiment moved into Nashville, and became a part of the force which garrisoned
that city during the siege occasioned by the movement of the body of the army
into Kentucky. During this siege the 78th was assigned to the 7th brigade,
composed of the 78th Pa. Inf., the 21st Ohio Inf., the 74th Ohio Inf. and the
37th Ind. Inf., the brigade being commanded by Col. John F. Miller, of the
29th Ind. Inf.During the siege, the 78th had many engagements with the enemy, at that
time surrounding the city, and making strenuous efforts to capture it. In an
engagement at Lavergne the 78th captured about one hundred prisoners,
including two commissioned officers of the 32d Alabama, and 100 stand of arms.
Also at Neeley’s Bend, White’s Creek, Charlotteville, Franklin Pike and other
places, the 78th engaged the enemy , and always with success. These
engagements were principally brought on by the movement of the troops against
the rebel forces around Nashville, or in the marches into the country for the
supplies necessary to feed the starving garrison. While besieged in this city
affairs wore a gloomy aspect. Shut out from the world; no news from the main
army or home for months; surrounded by an enemy vindictively resolved to
capture the capital of the state, with Andrew Johnson, who was then in
Nashville, and the military governor.Although compelled to fight for every mouthful of food, no one was
discouraged, but all seemed determined to stand by the city, and with full
faith that all would be well the city was successfully defended, and early in
November the banners of the old army of the Cumberland were seen entering the
groves of Edgefield, and on the following day, the army, now under the command
of Gen. Rosecrans, entered the city and the siege was raised.The 78th regiment remained in the city doing provost-guard duty until
December 12, 1862, when it moved with the army to “Camp Hamilton,”
six miles south of Nashville, on the Franklin pike.The 7th Brigade was then assigned to the 8th Division, center, the division
being commanded by Brig. Gen. James S. Negley, and the center by Maj. Gen.
George H. Thomas. The regiment remained here until December 26, 1862, when the
memorable campaign commenced which ended in the bloody battle and victory of
Stone River. In this battle the 78th regiment led the charge across Stone
river to the elevated ground beyond — the key to the battle-field, and from
which the Union artillery enfiladed the lines and entrenchments of the enemy
— and drove them from the field. During the entire engagement the 78th bore
itself honorably and gallantly, and was, in consequence, accorded the honor of
first entering Murfreesboro and hoisted the Stars and Stripes over the dome of
the Rutherford court-house, on January 5, 1863. During this battle and
campaign the 78th lost 190 men in killed and wounded. Among the killed were
Lieut. Halsted, of Company K. Capt. Jack, of Company H, was mortally wounded,
and soon afterward died of his wounds in the hospital at Nashville. Lieut. J.
H. Anchors, of Company E, was also wounded and lamed for life.From January 5 to April 20, 1863, the 78th had charge of and did
provost-guard duty at Murfreesboro, around which town the victorious Army of
the Cumberland was encamped.While the army lay at Murfreesboro Gen. James A. Garfield joined it as
chief-of-staff, and the organization was changed from “center,”
“right” and “left,” to three corps, the 14th, commanded by
Gen. George H. Thomas; the 20th, commanded by Maj. Gen. Alex. D. McD. McCook;
and the 21st, commanded by Maj. Gen. Thomas L. Crittenden.The 78th was assigned to the 3d brigade, consisting of the 78th Pa. Inf.,
the 21st Ohio Inf., the 74th Ohio Inf. and the 37th Ind. Inf., under command
of Col. John F. Miller, of the 29th Ind. Inf., and to the 2d division,
commanded by Maj. Gen. Negley, and to the 14th corps, commanded by Maj. Gen.
Thomas. On April 20 the 78th was relieved from provost-guard duty, and took
position with its brigade in camp, and went vigorously to work to prepare for
the summer campaign.On June 19, 1863, Col. John F. Miller was relieved from the command of the
brigade and assigned to duty elsewhere, when the command of the brigade
devolved on Col. William Sirwell, and the command of the 78th regiment on
Lieut. Col. Archibald Blakeley.On June 24, 1863, the summer campaign of the Army of the Cumberland
commenced by the movement south against the intrenched position of the rebel
army under Gen. Bragg, at Tullahoma.The 78th participated in many of the engagements of the campaign without
any considerable loss, and July 8, 1863, sat down in camp with the balance of
the corps at Decherd, Tennessee, the position of the enemy at Tullahoma having
been turned and the rebel army driven across the Cumberland mountains and the
Tennessee river.The time from July 8 to August 16, was spent in general field and camp
duty, and organizing and drilling for the fall campaign against Chattanooga,
the chosen position of the enemy, which began August 15, by the movement of
the whole Army of the Cumberland. The 78th regiment followed mostly the line
of the Nashville and the Chattanooga railroad, rising out of the elevated
plateau which forms the eastern portion of Middle Tennessee, crossing one of
the loftiest ranges of the Cumberland mountains, then descending into and down
the valley of the Crow creek and on to Cave spring, near Stevenson, Alabama,
where it halted and rested a few days, then across the Tennessee river on the
beautiful moonlight night of September 7, 1863, and up the south side valley
of the Tennessee to a point opposite Bridgeport, then outward to the south and
east from the valley until the Sand Mountain range was reached, then upward
and across its lofty heights, and when the power of the horse and the mule
failed to haul up the artillery and the provisions, the strong arms of these
hardy sons of Pennsylvania supplied the needed strength. The top of these
heights was gained, and in passing over to the eastern slope a mountain gorge
was encountered, one hundred feet wide and fifty feet deep, impassable, and
the whole army was stopped. Company C, of the 78th under command of Lieut.
David R. Brinker, was immediately thrown forward and to work, and by morning
the gallant company constructed across this chasm a bridge over which the
whole army of Gen. Rosecrans crossed. Descending the eastern slope of the Sand
mountain, they came to Lookout valley, Dade county, Georgia. On Lookout creek
there was a mill, and Col. Blakeley was ordered to take charge of it with his
regiment, and to gather surplus grain in the valley, grind it, and turn the
flour and meal over to the passing army.To this work the 78th assiduously devoted itself, gathering in also large
supplies of beef cattle until the army had passed, when it marched up the
valley to Johnston’s crook, where it again became the pioneer regiment in
crossing Lookout Mountain range, on September 9, and down the eastern slope to
McLemon’s cove, in the valley of the Chickamauga. It yet being in the advance,
set out for Lafayette, Georgia, on the 10th, and at Dug Gap was met by the
enemy in force, and the division of Negley was surrounded by overpowering
numbers.The position, however, was skillfully and heroically maintained until the
arrival of other forces enable the division to retreat to the base of Lookout
Mountain, on the evening and night of September 11, 1863. In this engagement,
at Dug Gap, sixty-eight men of the 78th, under command of Lieut. Brinker of C
company, and Lieut. Anchors of E company, held in check for over two hours a
heavy massed force of the enemy, in which engagement the 78th lost but four
men killed and wounded. From the night of the 11th to the 17th the regiment
lay at the base of Lookout range of mountains waiting for the corps of McCook
to recross the mountain at Valley Head and to join the corps of Gen. Thomas.
On September 17, it marched six miles in the direction of Chattanooga, where
it bivouacked until 4 o’clock on the morning of the 18th, when it marched four
miles eastwardly, where it halted and lay on its arms in an open field until
11 o’clock at night, when a staff officer from Gen. Thomas came to Col.
Blakeley, and, pointing out a star, said he assumed it to be directly west,
and ordered that the regiment be moved one mil and a half in the direction of
the star, then faced and deployed south, and moved on a line to the south
until the Chickamauga river was reached, where it was assumed there was a
fording, and that if the fording was not struck as the river was reached, it
was to be found and held against the enemy, who it was feared would break
through that night to strike the corps of McCook in flank as it was passing to
position in the impending battle.Although the night was pitch dark, with scarce a star to be seen, except
the one to which the march was directed, the 78th executed the movement, the
distance from the point at the change of direction being quite as long as the
movement before the change, and the fording was struck by a company next to a
flank company, and the ford was held until the corps of McCook had passed.
This movement, executed through an almost impenetrable jungle, the night being
quite cold and dark, was highly commended by Gen. Thomas, being, as he said, a
severe test of its well-known bravery through drill and discipline.On the morning of the 19th the men were nearly frozen, and the heavy firing
on the left indicated that the enemy was heading for Chattanooga. In the
afternoon the 78th was withdrawn from the river and moved in the direction of
Crawfish Springs, and went into line against the enemy, and after a severe
skirmish held the position assigned it, on the left of the 21st Ohio Inf.,
that being the only force within view on the right or left.During the night of the 19th the line was perfected and filled with troops,
and a substantial breastwork was thrown up by the men of the 78th, and the
morning of the 20th found them in splendid condition and ready for action. On
that morning the general engagement was resumed, and a terrific battle raged
till nightfall.The position of the 78th and Negley’s division on the night of the 19th and
morning of the 20th was far to the right of the battle front of Thomas’ corps,
to which Negley’s division belonged. In the forenoon of the 20th Negley’s
division, including the 78th was withdrawn by order of Gen. Rosecrans from the
position it had occupied to that time, and moved to the left by the rear of
the general battle line to reinforce the flank of Thomas’ corps.The division of Gen. Wood was to have taken the place in line vacated by
Negley, but owing to a misunderstanding of orders the movements were not
simultaneous, and after Negley left and before Wood got in the enemy broke
through at this point, and cut off and drove back all the troops on our right,
being the larger portions of the corps of McCook and Crittenden, including the
commanders of these corps and the commanding general of the army. Thomas,
however, maintained his position and his fight, and Negley’s division, being
caught en passant in flank and rear, was fearfully shattered. The
brigade, of which the 78th constituted a part, was weakened by the withdrawal
of the 74th Ohio Inf. to another portion of the field, but the remaining three
regiments, under the skillful supervision of its commander, Col. Sirwell,
remained for a time intact, and were brought into line at what was supposed to
be the right of the line of Gen. Thomas, and in front of the Chicago Board of
Trade Battery. The 78th regiment was finally left alone, but was very strong
and occupied a commanding position, possibly seeming to the enemy much
stronger than it really was. While occupying this position Maj. Bonnaffan
approached Col. Blakeley and asked what he was going to do; the answer was,
“Hold our line till we die unless ordered back.” Bonaffan’s
characteristic reply was, “Then we’ll all go to hell, for there is no one
within reach to order us back.” Maj. Bonaffan never counted on anybody
going to heaven.The enemy threw out skirmishes and advanced with great caution, and about
the time the 78th commenced to engage him, a staff officer appeared with an
order to retreat, delivering the order in haste and leaving. The movement was
made to the rear with as much precision and cool purpose as if on drill, Maj.
Bonnaffan commanding the skirmishers to cover the retreat. A long distance was
traveled, with no troops in view excepting the pressing and exultant rebel
army, which numbered at least 10,000, following in the wake of the handful of
the sturdy sons of Armstrong and surrounding counties.After marching at least a mile the regiment passed into a gorge or ravine
covered with timber, and here it passed from the view of the enemy and was met
by Gen. Negley, who ordered Col. Blakeley to form and defend the passage of
this gorge. The formation being perfected, the enemy was pressing on all
sides, and Bonnaffan was laughing at the chance of a fight. At this juncture a
staff officer from the staff of Gen. Thomas rode down the wooded hill from the
direction of Chattanooga and asked Col. Blakeley what he was doing here, to
which he replied stating his orders. The staff officer said that the regiment
was then at least a mile outside of the new battle-line established by Gen.
Thomas, that he was hunting a place to get in, and gave as a command from Gen.
Thomas the direction of a line of march, which might lead in a mile and a half
to the Dry Valley Road.The march was renewed and continued in the same calm, measured step, and
just before reaching the Dry Valley Road Gen. Negley was met, who immediately
ordered the regiment, the only one of his division left to him, to guard the
trains and artillery from the defeated portion of the army, which were then
engaged in a pell-mell contest down the Dry Valley Road to Chattanooga, the
enemy in hot pursuit. The 78th was thrown between the trains and the enemy,
and the pursuers kept at bay until the trains had all passed out of immediate
danger. The regiment was then placed at the junction of the roads near
Rossville gap to intercept the retreating troops, for the purpose of
reorganization of the broken army.Gen. Thomas having held the main body of the rebel army in check till after
dark, a new line was established in his rear, and the whole army formed upon
it during that night, and it was successfully maintained during the following
day, and on the night of the 21st the army fell back upon Chattanooga, and on
the morning of the 22d a battle line was formed. This whole day was spent in
great anxiety, and momentary expectation of an attack that would drive the
Federal troops into the Tennessee river. During this trying day and the
previous night, the command of the brigade having fallen upon Col. Archibald
Blakeley, command of the regiment devolved upon Maj. A. B. Bonnaffan. For
several days the men of the 78th worked day and night on the fortifications
until their lives were nearly worked out of them.On October 10 Gen. Negley’s farewell to his division was received, and on
October 12 the 78th regiment was assigned to the 3d brigade, 1st division. On
October 20 Gen. Rosecrans left, having been relieved from the command of the
Army of the Cumberland, and on October 23 Gen. Grant arrived and assumed
command. November 17, 1863, the resignation of Col. William Sirwell was
accepted, and the command of the brigade was assigned to Gen. Starkweather.From October 22 till November 23 Chattanooga and the Army of the Cumberland
was closely besieged. The rebels occupied all the prominent positions around
Chattanooga, and day and night were plunging their shot and shell into the
Union camp from their batteries on Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge and
Orchard Knob. At times our troops were in a state of starvation.While the army lay at Chattanooga it was reorganized into two corps, the
4th and the 14th. The 3d brigade, composed of the 78th regt. Pa. Inf., the
79th regt. Pa. Inf., the 21st regt. Ohio Inf., the 74th regt. Ohio Inf., the
1st reg. Wis. Inf., the 21st regt. Wis. Inf., the 37th regt. Ind. Inf. and the
24th regt. Ill. Inf., was assigned to the 1st division, 14th corps. The
division at its first organization was commanded by Gen. Lovell H. Rousseau,
but was soon thereafter assigned to Gen. Richard W. Johnson. The corps was
commanded by Maj. Gen. John M. Palmer.After participating in the battles around Chattanooga, Lookout Mountain and
Missionary Ridge on November 23, 24 and 25, 1863, the 3d brigade, including
the 78th, was ordered to make a reconnaissance, and on November 29 ascended
Lookout Mountain by the Summertown Road, and made a careful reconnaissance of
the mountain as far south as Johnston’s Crook, and returned to Summertown,
near the point, on December 2.The 78th and the 21st Wis. Inf., for good conduct during the actions and
reconnaissance, were assigned to duty on the mountain, and placed under
command of Col. Blakeley, of the 78th Pa. These two regiments remained on the
mountain until May 2, 1864. The position was dangerous, the duties onerous,
and the privations great. The encampment of these troops was near the north
point of the mountain, far above the surrounding country and the camps of the
Union army. The mountain running southwardly into the rebel lines near Rome,
Georgia, gave the enemy a perfectly safe route along its top to attack the
troops on the point, as the lofty palisades of the mountain would protect both
flanks; and in case of an attack, reinforcements from Chattanooga could not be
expected in less than two hours. Col. Blakeley immediately surveyed and laid
out a line of earthworks across the mountains, and the men, though wearied and
starving, went vigorously to work and soon completed the line, which rendered
the position comparatively defensible. Supplies had to be hauled up the
mountain from Chattanooga by mules scarcely able to walk. Notwithstanding the
scarcity of provisions, and the heavy details for picket and fatigue duty, the
men of the 78th bore up cheerfully and performed every duty with alacrity.The situation of the regiment on this historic mountain made it the
cynosure of all eyes. To its camp officers and soldiers from all parts of the
army, and citizens from all parts of the country, came and looked out upon the
hills and valleys of seven states. The dark banks of the Chickamauga, where
but a few weeks before the Union army had struggled in vain for victory; the
battle-ground of Wauhatchie, where young Geary fell, and over whose corpse the
heroic father fought and won, in the darkness of midnight, one of the most
brilliant victories of the war; Missionary Ridge, up which the combined armies
of Grant charged and conquered the hosts of Bragg and Longstreet, were all in
distinct view, while at its feet they looked down upon the giddy heights where
Hooker fought above the clouds.On April 8, 1864, Col. Blakeley resigned, and the command of the regiment
devolved on Col. Sirwell, who had been recommissioned and was now remustered.
On May 8 the regiment left its camp on the mountain and rejoined the brigade
at Graysville, Georgia, and participated in the engagements fought by Gen.
Sherman with the enemy at Tunnel Hill, Buzzard Roost, Resaca, Dallas, New Hope
Church and Kenesaw Mountain. While at the last mentioned place, on June 21,
1864, the regiment was ordered to Chattanooga for the purpose of guarding
trains from there to the front, and it was thus engaged until September 22,
when it was ordered to Tullahoma, Tennessee, and assigned to the 4th division
of the 20th corps.On September 24, when on the eve of moving to Tullahoma, the order was
countermanded and the regiment ordered to Athens, Alabama. On its way to
Athens on the evening of the 25th, at Decatur, Alabama, an order was received
to report at once to Maj.-Gen. Rousseau, at Nashville. Arriving at Nashville
on the 26th it was immediately ordered to Pulaski, Tennessee, at which place
it arrived at noon of the 27th, and participated in an action which defeated
the enemy then threatening that post. September 29 the regiment was
transported by rail from Pulaski to Nashville, and on reporting at Nashville
it was immediately ordered to Tullahoma, Tennessee, which place was menaced by
the enemy; arrived at Tullahoma on the night of the 29th and remained there
until October 1, when it was transported by rail to Nashville, and on arriving
at Nashville on the evening of the 1st, it was immediately ordered to
Franklin, Tennessee, which place it reached on the morning of the 2d.On the 3d the regiment was mounted, and constituted a part of the force
under Gen. Rousseau, then moving against the rebel cavalry which had been
harassing the southern part of middle Tennessee. The enemy was driven across
the Tennessee river and the regiment returned to Nashville on October 17, six
days after its term of service had expired.On October 18, 1864, the regiment received orders from Maj.-Gen. Thomas,
relieving it from duty in the department of the Army of the Cumberland, and
ordering it to Pennsylvania for muster out. It embarked on the steamer
Caroline, on the night of the 18th, and by the Cumberland and Ohio rivers
proceeded to Pittsburgh, where it arrived on the afternoon of the 29th, and on
the same evening reached Kittanning, in Armstrong county, Pennsylvania, the
place of its organization over three years before.The regiment was mustered out of the service at Kittanning, November 4, by
Lieut. Ward, of the U. S. A., and was paid on the following day, when the
“old 78th ” was disbanded, and the toils, privations, sufferings and
dangers of a three years’ campaign were forgotten amid the congratulations,
kind greetings and hearty welcomes which the good citizens of Western
Pennsylvania showered on these bronzed veterans.The members of the regiment who had re-enlisted and thereby became
“veteran volunteers,” and the recruits of the regiment whose terms
of service had not expired, were left at Nashville, Tennessee, under command
of Lieut. Torbett, of Company F, and Lieut. Smith, of Company K. To these the
governor of Pennsylvania assigned a sufficient number of new recruits to make
a minimum regiment, and designated as the 78th regiment, and it was popularly
known as the “new 78th.” Augustus B. Bonaffan, who had been major
and lieutenant-colonel of the “old 78th,” was commissioned colonel
of the “new 78th,” with Lieut. H. W. Torbett as lieutenant-colonel,
and Lieut. R. M. Smith as major. The regiment thus reorganized remained on
duty at Nashville until September 12, 1865, when it was also honorably
discharged from the service, in consequence of the closing of the war.The flag of the “old 78th” regiment was returned to the governor
of the state, with the names of its battles inscribed upon it as authorized by
the orders of the commanding generals of the armies under whom the battles
were fought.In concluding this sketch it is deemed proper to say that no regiment from
the state reflected more honor on the national arms than this one organized
here in the county of Armstrong. This was largely due to the personnel of
the regiment. In the main its officers and men were educated, intelligent,
patriotic and brave.The manifold duties and obligations resting upon the soldier were
cheerfully, intelligently and nobly executed. Where all did so well it would
be useless to attempt to name one and not another. To mention the humane,
generous, brave, heroic deeds of each member of this regiment during its term
of service, would be impossible. Yet there is one of the number who by common
consent stands out so conspicuously in all the ennobling elements of manhood,
in all the grand qualities of a brave soldier and successful military
commander that we know it to be the expression of every heart, living or dead,
of those who served in the Seventy-Eighth regiment, to now write upon the
pages of the history of Armstrong county, his name, the name of Colonel
William Sirwell. He organized the regiment, he commanded it, he encamped
with it, he marched with it, he bivouacked with it, he fought with it, he was
with it in defeat, he was with it in victory, he went away with it, he came
home with it, he loved it, he loves it yet. And its each annual reunion shows
the old soldier hearts warming to his with a love strong and bright at first,
but growing stronger and brighter as the years run apace — a better monument
