Colonel, James H. Landers; Lieut. Colonel, Dana W. King; Company A-Captain, George B. Johnson; Company B-Captain, Charles A. Bowen; Besides these the regiment was engaged in fifty-three distinct skirmishes, some of which, previous to the war of the rebellion, would have been considered sanguinary battles, and in all of them was distinguished for coolness and bravery. NINTH REGIMENT. After the Eighth Regiment had been sent to the field, recruiting in New Hampshire ceased, and by order of the War Department all recruiting offices for volunteers were closed and their furniture sold. In May, 1862, an order was received from the War Department, requesting New Hampshire to furnish an additional regiment of infantry. A bounty of twenty dollars was offeredwhich was subsequently increased to fifty dollars-by the State to each person who might enlist in any new regiment, and sixty dollars to those who would enlist in either of the regiments then in the service. The men rendezvoused at Concord, and during the month of July a large portion of the regiment was mustered into the United States service. The organization was finally completed on the 23d, and left the State for the seat of war on the 25th of August, under command of Colonel Enoch Q. Fellows, who had previously resigned his commission in the Third Regiment.
