Q. What was the strength of your regiment about that time?
A. I do not remember the figures. There were two or three companies had not yet reported.
Q. Never did report?
A. Yes; they had not yet reported on Saturday. One company had reported, and was still at the Union depot, up the river. Another company was kept up the Allegheny railroad by orders.
Q. Can you form an estimate of the strength of your regiment on Saturday?
A. I did know the figures. I think there were two hundred, perhaps, or one hundred and fifty.
Q. After the firing on the Philadelphia troops, you rejoined your regiment on the hill—your company?
A. Yes; General Brinton relieved me, and told me he would support that battery, and I could be relieved, and I reported to my colonel by my sergeant, and he ordered me up on the hill again.
Q. Bid you take the battery with you?
A. No, sir; General Brinton said he would support the battery. Company C, Captain Nesbitt, was ordered to go down the hill with me.
