NOTES. —Organized at Concord, N. H. Leaving the State August 25, 1862, it was engaged, within twenty days, at the battle of South Mountain, Md. Its casualties in that fight were 29 killed and wounded. Though a new regiment and under fire for the first time, it took a creditable part in the action; it was then in Nagle's (ist) Brigade, Sturgis' (2d) Division, Ninth Corps. Three days later it fought at Antietam, with a loss of 10 killed, and 49 Wounded. At Fredericksburg, under command of Colonel Titus, the Ninth was engaged, losing 4 killed, 68 wounded, and 12 missing. In March, 1863, the Ninth Corps moved to Kentucky, and was stationed at various parts of the State. It was a pleasant change from the war-worn fields of Virginia, the men enjoying the good food and quarters there provided. In June the Ninth Corps joined Grant's army, then besieging Vicks-burg, but returned in August to Kentucky. The spring of 1864 found the Corps in Virginia again. At Spotsyl vania, the gallant old regiment was hotly engaged, holding its position against a desperate counter-charge of the enemy ; so close were the two lines that their rifles flashed in each other's faces. Two companies were on the skirmish line; the eight companies in action — about 400 men—lost 41 killed, 95 wounded, and 48 missing. The regiment remained in Potter's Division until the close of the war.

* Of the recruits, 466 deserted, most of them (444) while on their way to the regiment. They were conscripts.
