On the 15th it made a forced march, 30 miles, to Knoxville, and moved thence to Morristown. It returned to Loudon on the 19th. With the exception of these and some minor movements, the regiment remained near Loudon during September, and entered on picket and entrenchment duty in October. The deaths from disease during the year numbered 109, and 1 killed in battle.

During the first two weeks of November, 1863, this regiment was in camp opposite Loudon, East Tennessee, doing picket duty, whence it marched to Lenoir. The regiment, with the army, then returned toward Huff's Ferry, and attacked the enemy, driving them some miles toward the Ferry. On the following morning the command fell back to Lenoir. On the 16th orders were received to destroy the transportation equipage and officers' baggage, and turn over the teams to the several batteries. The papers and records were here lost or destroyed. The retreat to Knoxville then commenced, the enemy vigorously pressing the pursuit. A halt was ordered at Campbell's Station, and an endeavor made to check the rebel advance. The position was maintained against repeated attacks of the enemy for several hours, when the command, tired and hungry, continued the retreat, through mud and rain, to Knoxville, where it arrived at 4 A. M., on the 17th, after a march of 28 miles and a battle of five hours' duration, without food or rest. The loss of the regiment in these movements was 8 killed, 23 wounded and 8 missing. The regiment assisted actively in the defense of Knoxville, until the siege was raised on the 5th of December. Dec. 7 it marched in pursuit of the retreating rebels, and on the 13th went into camp at Blaine's Cross Roads, where it was stationed until the 25th, when it received orders to proceed to Strawberry Plains and build fortifications at that place.

The regiment returned to Strawberry Plains Feb. 23, where it encamped until the 29th. Thence it proceeded to New Market and Mossy creek, and on the 12th to Morristown, returning to Mossy creek on the 18th. There is no report of the movements of the regiment during the month of April. May 2 it moved from Charleston, Tenn. On the 7th it marched toward Tunnel Hill, and on the Sth encountered the enemy at Rocky Face. The regiment advanced as skirmishers, and took possession of a ridge in front of the enemy's works. On the 9th it was engaged in a reconnaissance of the rebel position. Moving from Rocky Face and marching through Snake Creek Gap, the regiment arrived in front of Resaca on the 13th, and on the following day participated in an unsuccessful charge on the enemy's works, losing, in a few minutes, 62 men killed and wounded.

The enemy having evacuated Resaca, the regiment engaged in the pursuit, and came up and skirmished with them on the 24th, on the Etowah river. The rebel forces having fallen back to Dallas, the regiment took a position in front of their works at that point, which it occupied from the 27th to the 1st of June, and during this time, was almost constantly, day and night, engaged in skirmishing. May 31 it assisted in repelling a charge made on our lines. The regiment participated in the various movements following the retreat of the enemy from Dallas, and was engaged at Lost Mountain, Kenesaw Mountain, on the Chattahoochee river, and before Atlanta. It was present at the capture of the latter place, and subsequently moved to Decatur, Ga. This department, however, has received no detailed report of these operations. The regiment marched from Decatur, Oct. 3, in pursuit of the rebel army under Gen. Hood, who was then moving northward through Georgia and Alabama to the Tennessee river. During the month it marched to Marietta, Dallas, New Hope Church, Big Shanty, Alatoona, Cartersville, Kingston and Rome.
