February 22d, the Ninth, with a part of the victorious army, proceeded up the Cumberland to Clarksville and Nash- ville, meeting with no resistance, and thence back to Paducah, preparatory to starting on the expedition determined upon against Corinth, in Mississippi. Went by steamer, disembarking at Pitts- burg Landing, thirty miles from Corinth, on the 18th ult, and went into camp on the west side of the river near the land- ing. Reinforcements continued to ar- rive until the army commanded by Gen. Grant was about 40,000 strong. About day-break, Sunday morning, April 6th, 1862, the enemy who had encamped within gun-shot range of our line the evening before attacked our camp with great fury. So extended was the ground occupied by the enemy, that the infor- mation of the battle, which for several hours had been raging, did not reach the regiment until eight o'clock. The bri- gade was promptly formed under com- mand of Gen. McArthur, and hurried to the front. It advanced to the ex- treme left of our line, and the regiment took position along the meanderings of a small ravine, where it was exposed to a terrible fire by an enemy greatly su- perior in numbers, and in a short time nearly two-thirds of the Ninth were strewn on the ground, either killed or wounded. Retreating from this position,
the remainder of the regiment reformed a short distance from its first position. The fragment of the Ninth held several other positions during the battle, and everywhere fought fiercely and gallant- ly.
The severity of the struggle may be better understood when we state that out of 26 officers and 520 enlisted men who went into battle, 20 officers and 324 men, besides 11 men missing, were either killed or wounded. The proud regiment which two months before, had marched out of Paducah a thousand men strong, could not now muster one hundred men for parade. The follow- ing is a list of its killed and wounded
