Battery C
It was engaged with the enemy at Farmington, Miss., May 9th, 1862, and at the siege of Corinth from the 10th to the 31st of that month.
Note. On the Sherman march Battery B captured, at Raleigh, N. C., upon its evacua-sion by the rebels in April, 1865, a small brass gun of about 2. 50 calibre, with carriage and lim-Der. The gun is said to have been a part of General Wheeler's cavalry armament. It has evidently seen much hard service, as it was originally rifled, but the grooves, although visible, are now nearly worn smooth; the carriage, also, shows marks of long service.
