notes.--Organized in August, 1861, at Portsmouth, Ohio, and commenced active service in Kentucky, having been assigned to General Nelson's command. In December, 1861 , while at Louisville, it was placed in Sill's Brigade of General O. M. Mitchel's Division, with which it marched to Bacon Creek, Ky., where it went into winter-quarters. In February Mitchel advanced to Bowling Green, Ky., and thence to Nashville; during the next month. his division marched through Tennessee, and then to Huntsville, Ala., the summer of 1862 being spent in the vicinity of Huntsville and Bridgeport. In September, upon Bragg's advance into Kentucky, the army fell back to Louisville, and on October 8, 1862, the regiment was engaged at the battle of Chaplin Hills, near Perryville, Ky. It was then in Harris's Brigade, Rousseau's Division, McCook's Corps; loss, 21 killed, 78 wounded and 10 missing,--out of about 400 engaged. At Stone's River, the Thirty-third, under command of Captain Ellis, fought in Scribner's (1st) Brigade, Rousseau's (1st) Division, Fourteenth Corps,--same brigade and division as before; loss, 2 killed, 21 wounded, and 11 missing. The Army lay at Murfreesboro during the ensuing six months, and then started on its advance on Chattanooga. At Chickamauga--General Baird commanding the division — the regiment lost 14 killed, 63 wounded, and 83 missing or captured, out of 343 engaged. Major Ephraim J. Ellis was killed in this action. While on the Atlanta campaign,--then in Carlin's (1st) Brigade, Johnson's (1st) Division, Fourteenth Corps,--the regiment had a hard fight at Resaca, in which it suffered the severest loss of its experience. Having reenlisted, it served until the end of the war.
