notes.--Organized at New Albany, Ind., September 18, 1861, proceeding immediately to Kentucky, where it encamped near Murfreesboro during the following fall and winter. In February, 1862, it marched with Buell's Army in its advance on Bowling Green and Nashville. The summer of 1862 was spent in Tennessee, in the vicinity of Shelbyville, and also near Chattanooga, returning to Kentucky in October, where the campaign culminated on the 8th, in the battle of Chaplin Hills. The regiment was then in Rousseau's Division, which sustained the main force of the attack in that battle, the regiment losing 27 killed and 125 wounded; five of the color-guard were killed, and the color-sergeant was severely wounded. At Stone's River, the regiment was in Scribner's (1st) Brigade, Rousseau's (1st) Division, Fourteenth Corps, its casualties in that battle amounting to 14 killed, 94 wounded, and 4 missing. General Baird commanded the division at Chickamauga, where the Thirty-eighth lost 13 killed, 57 wounded, and 39 missing. It reenlisted, and served in 1864 in the Atlanta campaign,--then in Carlin's (1st) Brigade, Johnson's (1st) Division. It distinguished itself at the battle of Jonesboro, in which the color-bearer was killed while planting his flag inside the enemy's intrenchments. Its casualties on the Atlanta campaign amounted to 103, killed, wounded and missing. In November, 1864, the corps marched with Sherman through Georgia to the sea, and then in March, 1865, through the Carolinas. At Bentonville, the last battle of the Fourtenth Corps, the division (Carlin's) was prominently engaged, the regiment suffering a severe loss.
