Commenced the construction of strong works on the south of the Atlanta road. 29th, changes position; ordered to relieve the One hundred and nineteenth and One hundred and fifty-fourth New York, of the Second Brigade; did so, and changed the entire front of our barest-works.

September 2, took up line of march and entire Atlanta, the enemy having evacuated the city. It was occupied by the Twentieth Corps.

The following statement shows the losses of the regiment during the campaign: Killed or died of wounds received-enlisted men, 35; wounded-officers, 4; enlisted men, 122; total, 126.

The officers and men without a single exception conducted themselves with marked courage and soldier bearing throughout the entire campaign, bearing gallantly the old flag proudly aloft through every contest, and now they have the proud satisfaction of reaping the reward of their labors under its silken folds floating proudly over the stronghold of rebeldom.

Respectfully submitted.
