THIRTY-EIGHTH REGIMENT, NINTH RESERVE.
T' THE Ninth Regiment was organized at Camp Wright, near Pittsburg, on the 28th of June, 1861, under the direction of General M'Call. Eight of the companies composing it were recruited in Allegheny county ; one in Craw- ford, and one in Beaver. At the time of its organization there were over forty companies in camp, recruited in the western part of the State, under the call for seventy-five thousand men. The companies included in this regiment had been in camp from the early part of May, and had been studiously drilled in elementary tactics. The election for field officers resulted in the choice of Con- rad F. Jackson, Colonel; Robert Anderson, Lieutenant Colonel, and James M'Kinney Snodgrass, Major. The two former had seen service in the Mexican war. The latter was at the time Major General of the Eighteenth division of the State militia. The men generally had had no previous military experience. Immediately after its organization, the officers commenced a regular series of regimental and officers' drills, by which it was brought to a good degree of dis- cipline.
On the 22d of July, the regiment was ordered to Washington. Leaving Pittsburg on the 23d, it proceeded to Harrisburg, where it was supplied with arms and equipments, and from thence proceeded to its destination, arriving at daylight of the 26th. Bivouacking a half mile east of the Capitol till even- ing, it marched to the Seventh street road, a distance of two miles, where it established its first camp. On the 28th the regiment was mustered into the United States service. Remaining in camp until the 5th of August, it was moved to Tenallytown, where was established the general camp of rendezvous for the Reserves, under the command of General M'Call. Here was estab- lished a regular routine of camp and picket duties, and details of parties to work on the fortifications in the vicinity. Major Snodgrass was assigned to superintend the construction of what was afterwards named Fort Gaines, and continued there until the work was ready to receive its armament. From the 9th to the 16th of September the regiment was on picket duty at Great Falls, several miles up the Potomac. Here the rebels were for the first time en- countered, holding the opposite bank. As opportunity offered they sent their Icaden compliments across, which were promptly acknowledged. This ex- change of civilities continued daily. On the 21st of September, the Harper's Ferry smooth-bore muskets and the equipments received at Harrisburg, were exchanged for new Springfield rifled muskets and complete equipments, by the entire regiment, except company A, which was armed with Sharp's rifies, the private property of the men. On the same day it was reviewed by Gen-

eral M'Clellan, accompanied by his staff, General M'Call and staff, Governor Curtin and suite, the Secretary of War, and others.

On the 9th of October, the regiment broke camp at Tenallytown, and march- ing by the chain bridge, crossed into Virginia, and occupied a position near Langley, in line with the army of the Potomac, on its extreme right. Here the division went into winter quarters, and the discipline was made more stringent than before, as the enemy was supposed to be in the immediate front. In the organization of the corps which was here made, the Ninth was assigned to the Third Brigade, commanded by Colonel M'Calmont .* A school for regi- mental officers was established for the brigade, which was regularly attended, and which, with the schools in the different regiments for company officers, was of great service in the establishment of discipline and in preparation for suc- cessful manœuvring in the presence of thic enemy. On the evening of the 19th of November orders were received from Headquarters directing Major Snod- grass to proceed, with five companies of the Ninth Regiment, to make a recon- noissance of the enemy's lines in the neighborhood of Hunter's Mills, eight miles in front of our line. Information had that day been received that the rebels were engaged in advancing their lines, and as a review was to be held on the following day, it was deemed advisable to verify the rumor. Accordingly at ten o'clock that night, taking companies A, B, D, F and G, with a guide, and two mounted orderlies, the Major proceeded to the locality indicated and made a thorough examination of their position. Finding them unchanged, he re- turned and reported the result, arriving soon after daylight. Scarcely had the detachment come within our lines, when a body of rebel cavalry was discovered on its trail, but too late to do any harm.
On the 20th of December, General E. O. C. Ord, who had succeeded Colonel M'Calmont in the command of the brigade, was ordered by General M'Call to proceed with his command to Dranesville, for the double purpose of securing forage, and of driving back the enemy's pickets. At two o'clock P. M., near Dranesville, a considerable body of the enemy was met, and as the Ninth Regi- ment was on the right of our column, it was soon briskly engaged. When first encountered his line was concealed from view by a thiek wood, and considera- ble doubt existed whether the troops, which were now within sixty or seventy paces, were friends or foes. The men were impatient to fire and Colonel Jaek- son could with difficulty restrain them ; an officer of the regiment had reported that they were the Bucktails, and the Coloncl, that he might avoid the fatal error of killing our own men, was determined not to attack until he knew whom he was fighting. The impression that the Bucktails were in front was strength- ened by one of the enemy calling out "don't fire on us." One of our men impru- dently asked, "are you Bucktails?" the answer was, "yes, we are the Bucktails, don't fire."t Nor did they fire until they received a full volley from the rebel line. The order was then given to open, and the action soon became spirited. After posting the artillery General Ord gave the word to advance, "Kane at the head of his regiment leading. His and Jackson's regiments required no

urging."* The enemy was soon routed and the victory was complete. General M'Call, who came upon the field in the midst of the engagement, says, "Here was the Ninth Infantry, Colonel Jackson, who had gallantly met the enemy at close quarters, and nobly sustained the credit of the State. * *
* The number of killed found in front of the position occupied by the Ninth Infantry, Colonel Jackson, is, in my estimation, proof enongh of the gallantry and dis- cipline of that fine regiment." The loss was two enlisted men killed, and two officers and eighteen enlisted men wounded. General Ord mentioned in his official report as worthy of notice for gallant conduct Colonel Jackson, and Captains Dick and Galway, and recommended a list of seventy-one officers and privates "for reward for their gallant conduct."
