NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT, NINTH CAVALRY.
NTHE Ninth Pennsylvania Cavalry, Ninety-second of the line, at first known as the Lochiel Cavalry, was organized on the 29th of August, 1861, in compliance with an order of the Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War, with Edward C. Williams, of Harrisburg, as Colonel, Thomas C. James, of Phila- delphia, as Lieutenant Colonel, and Thomas J. Jordan, of Harrisburg, as Major. Under this authority, the officers above named appointed the neces" sary line officers, and directed them to proceed at once to recruit men for their respective companies. The place of rendezvous was at Camp Cameron, near Harrisburg. The regiment was composed of twelve companies, principally raised in the counties of Dauphin, Luzerne, Lancaster, Huntingdon, Perry, Cumberland, Mifflin, Blair, Wayne, Chester, Lehigh, Susquehanna, and in the city and county of Philadelphia. The field, and many of the line officers and privates had served for the short term in 1861, and Colonel Williams bad served in the militia as early as 1832; had served with General Scott, in Mexico, from the capture of Vera Cruz to the first surrender of the Capital, receiving a wound at the storming of Chepultapec; and bad commanded, with the rank of Brigadier General, the brigade known as the Scott Legion of Philadelphia, in the three months' service.
By the 1st of October the companies were full, and the men, by drill and discipline, fitted for the field. On the 20th of November, by order of the Sec- retary of War, the regiment moved by rail to Pittsburg, and thence by boat to Louisville, Kentucky, where, upon its arrival, it was reported to General Buell, in command of the Department of the Cumberland, and placed in camp at Jeffersonville, Indiana, opposite to Louisville. Mounted drill was at once commenced, a school for officers established, and by the 10th of January, 1862, by constant hard work and strict discipline, the regiment had acquired such proficiency that it was ordered to the front, the enemy occupying the line of Greene River. On the advance of Generals Buell and Mitchell, in the early part of February, upon General A. Sidney Johnston's position at Bowling Green, in compliance with an urgent request made by citizens, and the Legis- lature of Kentucky, the regiment was ordered to remain for the protection of the State, and was posted, the First Battalion, under command of Colonel Williams, at Grayson Springs, the Second, under Lieutenant Colonel James, at Calhoun, in Western Kentucky, and the Third, under Major Jordan, at Bacon Creek, on the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
On the 5th of March the regiment was ordered into Tennessee, the First Battalion to Springfield, the Second to Clarksville, and the Third to Nashville. Soon after reaching Nashville, the Third Battalion was moved to Gallatin, and

BATTLE OF PERRYVILLE.
.on the 4th of May, it first met the enemy under Morgan, at Lebanon, where, with the Seventh Pennsylvania and the Third Kentucky Cavalry, it most sig- nally defeated that daring partizan, capturing two hundred and ninety-three of his men, with Lieutenant Colonel Wood, Morgan's second in command, Morgan himself narrowly eseaping capture by the fleetness of his celebrated steed, to the Cumberland River, which he swam, leaving the animal a prize to the regiment. On the 14th of May the Third Battalion marehed from Leba- non to Livingston, in Overton county, after Morgan, who was again in the field, and at Spring Creek came upon his rear guard, where, after a spirited action, the guard was captured, with the Quarter-master of Morgan's Brigade. Pushing on after Morgan, who declined fighting, he was forced to the Cum- berland Mountains at Sparta, where his command scattered upon the various roads leading to Chattanooga. On the 3d of June, the Third Battalion marched from Lebanon, Tennessee, to Tompkinsville, Kentucky, and on the 6th Cap- tain Hugh M'Cullough was warmly engaged at Moore's Hill, defeating Colonel Hamilton, who had a largely superior foree, with a loss of the leader, Captain M'Cullough, and four men killed, and ten badly wounded. Captain M'Cul- lough, a brave and competent officer, was shot through the stomach, while leading his men to the charge. On the 9th of July, 1862, Morgan, with a force of over two thousand men, advanced against Tompkinsville. To meet this force Major Jordan, who was in command of the post, had but two hundred and thirty, and after maintaining an unequal contest for two hours, finding himself being surrounded, he retired to Burksville, Kentucky. In this en- gagement fifty-seven of the enemy were killed, and one hundred and forty wounded, while the loss in the battalion was only ten killed, fourteen wounded, and nineteen taken prisoners. . Among the latter was Major Jordan, who had his horse killed in the action. Lieutenant Aaron Sullivan was among the killed.
In the meantime the First Battalion remained at Springfield, and the See- ond at Clarksville. Finding that the enemy was penetrating Kentucky in large force, the regiment was again united under Colonel Williams, at Leba- non, Kentucky, early in August, and was employed in keeping the State elear of Morgan and his bands, and in watching the advance of Kirby Smith. After the disastrous battle of Richmond, Kentucky, on the 30th, in connection with the Ninth Kentucky Cavalry, it covered the retreat of General Nelson to Louisville, fighting daily the enemy's advance under Jenkins and Colonel Seott, of the First Louisiana Cavalry, who displayed great activity, attacking at every favorable point. At Shelbyville it had a sharp encounter, defeating Jenkins, killing twenty-seven of his men, and capturing forty-four. After reaching Louisville it was employed in guarding the roads in the direction of Tennessee, on which General Buell was marching for the relief of Kentucky. Upon General Buell's arrival, in conjunction with the Second Michigan, it took the advance to Perryville, and by its boldness in pushing the enemy's rear, brought on the sanguinary battle fought there, sustaining the fire of his in- fantry until relieved by M'Cook's Corps. It then formed on the right of the line, and by its steadiness, foiled every attempt of the enemy's cavalry to turn its flank. In this action it had ten killed, and twenty-seven wounded. In general orders issued after the action, General Buell says, "The Ninth Penn- sylvania Cavalry behaved most bravely, being at one time compelled to stand

NINETY-SECOND REGIMENT-NINTH CAVALRY.
for three-quarters of an hour under the concentrated fire of three batteries of the enemy's artillery, and only retiring when ordered to do so."
By hard service the regiment had by this time become much weakened, and about one-half of the men were dismounted. It was accordingly ordered to Louisville for fresh horses and cquipments. After receiving these, in company with the Second Michigan, it marched to Nicholasville, to prepare for a raid into East Tennessee, upon the railroads communicating with the rebel Capital, by which succor should be prevented from reaching General Bragg before the advance of Rosecrans to Stone River. On the 22d of December the expedi- tion, under command of General Carter, left Nicholasville, and on reaching Big Hill, all the commissary stores, and one hundred rounds of ammunition per man were distributed, roads and civilization were left behind, and the command took to the decr-paths of Pinc, Cumberland, and Clinch Mountains. To one unacquainted with the way, it is difficult to form any adequate conception of the hardships which the troops encountered on this march. These mountains, checrless and dark, and savage as when Boone first saw them, are at this point one hundred miles wide, and can only be crossed by following the paths worn by the deer and the Indian ages before. Over these paths, in single file, marched the regiments, traveling day and night, swimming the Cumberland and Clinch rivers, and fording the numerous creeks on the route, until the 1st of January, 1863, when it reached the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, at the bridge spanning the Watauga. This was defended by a company of about one hundred strong, from the command of General Humphrey Marshall, well en- trenched. As time was all important, the cavalry was dismounted, the place carried by assault, and the bridge, a structure of two long spans, was burned. As it was deemed unwise to cumber the column with prisoners, the captured party was at once paroled, and the command moved down the railroad ten or twelve miles to the point where it crosses the Holston River. The bridge here was defended by a force of two hundred and fifty men, having stockades and entrenchments skillfully constructed for its defence. Without delay these were stormed, and the entire rebel force taken prisoners. In this action the Ninth lost six killed and twenty-five wounded. Among the latter was Sergeant Ellis T. Hamersly, who was shot through the thigh, the missile inflicting a painful and dangerous wound. All the badly wounded were left with the paroled enemy, the command being without ambulances, with the exception of Sergeant Hamersly, who resolutely refused to remain, and succeeded in keeping bis horse and moving with the column until it reached Kentucky. After leaving the Holston Bridge, and destroying a trestle work of nearly a mile across a swamp, the command faced for Kentucky, and by skillful strategy, joined with signal enterprize and rapidity of movement, succeeded in eluding the enemy, eight thousand strong, under Marshall, and re-crossed the Cumberland Moun- tains, returning by the same paths by which it advanced. The success of this raid, in the face of a greatly superior force of the enemy, was the cause of so much chagrin to the rebel chieftains, that Marshall, the commander, was re- lieved and never afterwards restored to his command.
