During the Second Battle of Corinth on 3–4 October 1862, the 6th Texas Cavalry (dismounted) was assigned to Brigadier General Charles W. Phifer's brigade, Brigadier General Dabney H. Maury's division, Major General Sterling Price's corps. The brigade's other units were the 3rd Arkansas Cavalry and 9th Texas Cavalry Regiments, 1st Arkansas Cavalry Battalion (Stirman's), all fighting as infantry, and McNally's Arkansas Battery under Lieutenant Frank A. Moore. During the fighting, the brigade lost 94 killed, 273 wounded, and 200 missing. At mid-morning on the first day, Phifer's brigade easily overran the breastworks manned by only five Union infantry companies. Later in the afternoon, the brigade's advance was slowed by five Federal cannons of Spoor's 2nd Iowa Battery. Phifer's brigade attacked a 250-man outfit called the "Union Brigade" which defended itself weakly and then fled. On the second day, Maury's division attacked a Federal strongpoint known as Battery Robinett, armed with three 20-pounder Parrott rifles and Colonel John W. Fuller's Union brigade. To the east of Battery Robinett, the 6th and 9th Texas Cavalry attacked the 27th Ohio and 39th Ohio Infantry. The first Union volley stopped the attack with heavy losses, but the Texans pulled back about and some took cover behind stumps and fallen trees. The Texans fired with deadly accuracy, shooting down almost one-fourth of the 39th Ohio's soldiers. The 6th Texas got within of the 27th Ohio. In the confusion, Colonel Ross was thrown from his horse but not hurt. The color bearer of the 6th Texas was shot down and Ohio Private Orrin Gould seized the flag, but was badly wounded by a bullet in his chest. Finally, the Texans retreated, some of them on their hands and knees to escape the blistering rifle fire. At Corinth, the 6th Texas reported losing 8 officers and 42 enlisted men killed, 7 officers and 52 men wounded, and 23 men missing, for a total of 132 casualties.
