ENOCH LEWIS, Gen. SaPf.
Col CAMPBELL's 54Tn PENNA. Vols.
We clip the annexed complimentary
mention of this regiment-better known
as the "Cambria County Regiment
from the Wheeling Daily Press of recent
date. Is is a graceful recognition of the
eminent services performed Oy this splen-
did body of men, and will serve as an in-
'centiye to spur them on to renewed exer-
tions Their friends in this section will
be glad to hear that they are properly
appreciated in their present field Of oper-
ations:
Whilst the newspaper press is enumerating
,he gallant deeds of our army and giving just
praise the different Divisions, Brigades and
Regiments comprising it, there are many
equally meritorious who are omitted, and who
are equally entitled to the gratitude of their
felOw-ctIZens. Among this class | would
name the 54th Pa. Vols, Col. j. VI. Campbell
This Regiment has been stationed along the
inc of the Bait and Ohio Railroad since last
April. \ better disciplined set of men. or IA
more viglant set of officers not to be found
an the service. Col. Campbell, by his gentle
I..,,, l.
sance and fine administrative abilities, has
endeared himself to the citizens of Berklev,
Morgan and Hampshire counties, and his mil
itary qualifications are of the highest order. |
He is emphatcaliy the right man in the right /
place, fact of which the government ap-
pears to be well aware, : they have turned !
). deaf ear to all his numerous applications to |
5e removed TO other fields of service. Col. |
Campbell 5 position may be better understood |
when say that his Regiment is spread along
the railroad for distance of &C miles, and |
That since the surrender of Harpcrs Ferry he
Is cut OFF from all communication with the
main army. During the severe fighting in
Maryland. his was the only Regiment in Vir-
g.nia the upper Potomac. east of Cumbcr-
!tnd, the whole length of his line being open
Ia the enemy and harrasscd by gGcriIas. In
stead of evacuating his positions along the
road, as he bad discretionary orders to do,
when the rebels were crossing to attack Har-
pers Ferry, Col. Campbell, with but Go men
call he had at the poSt.) boldly attacked the
guard of the inyncblc rebel Jackson's
army at North Mountain, killing and woun-
ding great many, taking - prisoners 80
stand of arms and one artillery caiSson and
putting the whole rebel guard to flight
Since then. the Saith has had several skir-
mishes with the enemy in all of which they
have had the best of them, taking prisoners
an every skirmish, and in the face f al! diff
"ulties maintaining their position, keeping
hpI mic plnts Frll IL,
rebel army now encampcd at North Mountain.
Thus Col. Campbeils firmEcss alone has sa- t
we'd the railroad from destruction, and afford
ed protection to our citizens, who would
otherwise have been compelled to fly from
their homes, and leave their families and
property to the tender mercics Of the rebels
Cur citizens owe him debt of gratitude and =
the b. q. RR.. | have no doubt will fully
appreciate his frmness and fidelity to his !
trnSt Fad of Col Campbelrs tenaci- .
~ commanded at Iarper's Ferry, it would
not have fallen so easily. v
