1865 RETURN AND MUSTER OUT. 1035
bama. The regiment returned to Nashville, arriving on the 17th of October,
six days after its term of service had expired. On the following day it received orders from Major General Thomas, relieving it from duty in the Department of the Cumberland, and directing its return to Pennsylvania, for
muster out. It embarked immediately, and moved, by the Cumberland and
Ohio Rivers, to Pittsburg, and thence by rail to Kittanning, where on the
4th of November it was mustered out of service.
The recruits and veteran volunteers remained at Nashville, under command
of Lieutenants Torbett and Smith. To these, the Governor of Pennsylvania
assigned eight new companies, bringing the recruited force up to the minimunm
regimental strength, and subsequently commissioned Major Bonnaffon Colonel,
Henry W. Torbett Lieutenant Colonel, and Robert M. Smith Major. The new
regiment, as thus organized, remained on duty at Nashville, and participated
with the Army of the Cumberland under Thomas in that brilliant campaign
near the close of the year, 1864, which swept the rebel army from Tennessee,
and was finally mustered out of service on the 11th of September, 1865.
