NOTES. —Recruited in Western Pennsylvania in May, 1861, with rendezvous at Pittsburg. The men were of more than usual intelligence and education. Company I was recruited from the students at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., while Company D came from Jefferson College ; the other companies were composed largely of similar material, teachers and pupils serving in the ranks together. The regiment arrived at Washington July 24, 1861, and joined the Reserves at their Camp of Instruction, Tenallytown, Md. It participated in the brilliant success of Ord's Brigade at Dranesville, Va., December 20, 1861, and early in the following spring marched with the Reserves in the advance on Manassas. In June, 1862, the division under General McCall was ordered to the Peninsula where it was assigned to General Fitz John Porter's Corps—the Fifth — and fought with Porter at Gaines's Mill. The loss of the Tenth in that engagement was 23 killed, 86 wounded, and 25 missing ; total, 134. After leaving the Peninsula, the Reserves rejoined the First Corps, but owing to their heavy losses in 1862, they were ordered soon after the battle of Fredericksburg to return to Washington that they might rest and recruit. Hence, they were absent from Ghancellorsville ; but when they heard that their native State was invaded, they petitioned for orders to march to its defence, and two of the three brigades, accordingly, rejoined the army and fought at Gettysburg. _07478
