NOTES. —The Pennsylvania Roundheads proved on many a hard fought field that they were worthy of their nom de guerre, and their ancestral namesakes. Bates, the historian, says that they were recruited in a part of the State which was settled by English Roundheads and Scotch-Irish Covenanters. Be that as it may, there was no stancher stuff in Cromwell's regiments than in the blue-coated line that dressed on the colors of the Hundredth Pennsylvania. They were well officered, Colonel Leasure being a man of remarkable soldierly ability, and although in command of the brigade most of the time, the regiment was always ably handled. Lieut.-Col. Dawson fell, mortally wounded, in the assault on Petersburg; Lieut.-Col. Pentecost was killed at Fort Stedman; Major Hamilton and Adjutant Leasure fell in the fighting at the Petersburg Mine. Five line-officers fell at Manassas, the casualties in that battle amounting to 15 killed, 117 wounded, and 8 missing. At Spotsylvania it sustained a loss of 23 killed, 110 wounded, and 2 missing ; total, 135. Like all the Ninth Corps regiments its service was a varied one; it made long journeys by sea and land, and fought its battles in many and widely separated States. _08300
