The Regiment (with its brigade and division) formed a part of the expedition under General W. T. Sherman, to Meridian, leaving camp at Vicksburg, Miss., at 8 A. M., February 3d, 1864, and marched with the column to the Pearl river, where it was detailed as guard to the Pioneer Corps, while they laid the Pontoon bridge Feb. 5th, and though not actively engaged in the skirmishes that

occurred during the trip, it was in close neighborhood to the same, in line of battle, ready to receive the enemy. It is known, how- ever, that as soon as the enemy became aware of the infantry get- ting into position, it invariably took to retreat, giving up the scarcely contested ground. On the return trip the regiment was again on grand guard, while the Pioneer Corps laid the bridge over Pearl river at Radcliffe Ferry, Feb. 25th, and on arriving at Canton, (26th ), it was immediately assigned to duty as Provost Guard, with Colonel Wm. W. Belknap as Provost Marshal of the Post. In the distribution of the several railroad communications, the com- mand did excellent work, and attracted the attention and praise of the commanding General. Arrived at camp at Vicksburg March 4th, distance marched 260 miles.
