The regiment was engaged during the advance of the army up the Peninsula. On June 26th, six companies of the regiment met the ad- vance of the enemy, under Jackson, at Me- chanicsville, and held it in check until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when their line was driven back to the infantry lines. The regiment did important duty, in the change of base which followed this action, at Gaines' Hill, Dispatch Station and Malvern Hill, and, covering the extreme rear of the army, continually skirmished with the enemy's cav- alry. Remained on picket, on the James River, while the army lay at Harrison's Land- ing. Led the advance to the second occupa- tion of Malvern Hills, and, with Benson's Battery (United States Artillery), bore the brunt of the fight-Lieut. Col. Gamble being severely wounded. Brought up the rear of our retreating army to Barrett's Ford, on the Chickahominy.
