C 5 Present, also, at Fort Pulaski; Chester Station : Wilmington. NOTES. —Recruited in various counties of the State. Colonel Terry had already served as Colonel of the Second, a three months' regiment which fought at First Bull Run. It left the State September 18, 1861, and in the following month sailed from Annapolis for Port Royal, with General Sherman's (T. W.) expedition. It dis played a praiseworthy efficiency and steadiness in its first battle --James Island — where,when ordered to retire, it halted, dressed its alignment under fire, and retired by battalion front as if on parade ; casualties, 9 killed, 69 wounded, and 4 missing. In January, 1863, it went to Fernandina, Fla., but in May, four companies — A, B, I, and K, returned to Hilton Head, S. C. These four companies were in Strong's Brigade, and were engaged in the first assault on Fort Wagner, July 11, 1863, where they displayed unusual gallantry. Out of 191 officers and men carried to that assault, 103 were killed, wounded or missing. At Drewry's Bluff, the Seventh sustained its greatest loss; 30 killed, 104 wounded, and 69 missing or prisoners. In the affair at Bermuda Hundred, June ad, 1864, it also lost 78 captured, in addition to 25 killed or wounded. The regiment sailed with General Terry's expedition to Fort Fisher — then in Abbott's Brigade, Ames's Division,— and took part in the successful storming of that stronghold. After the capture of Fort Fisher, the Tenth Corps, and with it the Seventh Con necticut, remained in North Carolina until after the close of the war. _05151
