REGIMENTS, OFFICERS, AC.    31

September 26,1862, they left Concord for Washington, and were
placed in the defence around the Capital until the seventeenth of
October, when they made a circuitous route through Maryland,
and arrived near Falmouth, Va., Nov. 23. They were engaged in
the battle of Fredericksburg, Dec. 13, and remained in the vicinity
of that city, till April 30, 1863. May 3, they participated in the
battle of Chancellorsville and lost very heavily. Col. Potter was
shot through the leg and taken prisoner. Lieutenant Colonel Marsh
and Major Savage were severely wounded. They went into the
fight with twenty-eight commissioned officers, and five hundred and
forty-nine enlisted men. Three commissioned officers were killed,
and fifteen wounded; forty-two enlisted men killed, two hundred
and twelve wounded, fifty-one taken prisoners and three missing;
making an aggregate loss of three hundred and eighty, or nearly
two thirds of their Regiment engaged. July 2, 1863, they com-
menced the battle of Gettysburg losing ninety-two officers and
enlisted men.

July 26, they were ordered to report to General Marston, then
_r>_    stationed at Point Lookout, to guard prisoners. They remained

there till April 11, when they left for more active and dangerous
service before Richmond and arrived at Bermuda Hundred, May
6, 1864. Space will not permit us to give any of our Regiments,
the full credit that belongs to them. The twelfth were engaged
in many of the battles around Richmond, and at the battle of Cold
Harbor, and lost, in killed and wounded, one hundred and sixty-five
men and officers. They have seen much hard fighting and have
done honor to themselves and the State. Mustered out, June
21, 1865.
