The battles in which the regiment .ha:

ces in which it has manifested highly
honorable and meritorious qualities. :
Under Gen. Landcrsin the winter Of 1862
and with Gen. Shields, in the spring o
the same year, the terrible marches .ant
hardships, borne with cheerful fortitudt
and patriotic heroii:sni, speak Of qualities
that no battlefield ever displayed,
The good order always observed by. tn,
9th, the fidelity with which. it discharg.
ed all its duties, and the fortitude Will
which it met all its vicissitudes, amid ship
wreck on the sea, storm, heat and cold b,
land, aud hate in an enemy,s country ,ar'
worthy Of as high a place in the archive
of the country as its most glorious deed
on the battle-feld, than which no regi
ment can claim more glorious. ~,
