The free South. [volume] (Beaufort, S.C.) 1863-1864, 1863-08-15

Lieutenant Colonel Leggett, Tenth Con-
necticut is now out of danger and recoy-
ering rapidly. He received wound from
a shell while in the trenches few days
since, which necessitated amputation. He
is now doing as well as could be desired,
with every prospect of an early recovery.
Colonel NJ. S. Littlefeld, of the Fourth
South Carolina, has been placed tempo
rarily In command of the Fifty.fourth
Massachusetts, in consequence of the lack
of officers in that regiment, majority
having been killed, wounded or made
prisoners in the recents fights, where the
regiment behaved most gallantly.

Any statements in correspondence from
here derogatory to the character of the
Seventy-sixth Pennsylvania, either for
courage or discipline, are wholly unfound-
ed. There is not drawer O. better dis
ciplined regiment on the island. If my
account of their conduct in the fight of
July 18th, has been construed into direct
or implied charge of cowardice or demor
alizatiep, i wish to correct the impress
sion Time has shown that there was not
a straggler from the seventy-sixth on that
morning. Colonel Strawbridge is still
Quite Ill.
Major J.I Plympton, formerly of Gen.
Strong's staff, and who being the senior
officer Of that brigade of those who were
not killed, wounded or missing, after the
fight of the 18th, and consequently had
command of the brigade till new Briga-
dier was assigned, was subsequently trans
ferred to General Seymour's staff, and is
now on General Terry's, as Division In
spector. In the absence of Lieut.. Col.
jackson at Hilton Head he is now chief
inspector here. .
In warfare, of the kind we are now en-
gagged in, those who are enlisted or COM
missioned as combatants are not alone
subject to the dangers of the field. Ser
wants, surgeons hospital nurses and civil
ians often had themselves under hot fire.
Our wagon trains, under charge of Mr.:
John Nevill, of New York, chief wagon
master, and Mr.. Clark, his assistant, are
often fired on i'll going to and returning
from the front-oftener even than bodies
of troops, because better mark. A few
days since two horses were badly wounded
the pole of the wagon spEntered, and one
or two teamsters narrowly escaped death.
This corps is plucky one, however, and
their trains pass and repass without in
terruption. " '' ~
" Colonel Pond, of the 62d Ohio has re-
turned from brief absence at the North,
and was received with Joy by his regi-
ment, Which lost fifteen officers out of
twenty-three in the recent fight, and from
their ranks added many names to the roll
of honor. This regiment, 80 far from
home, have hardly received the credit they
deserve. They have fought most gallant
ly in Virginia and here, and have sustain
ed the reputation of their State most
nobly.
The Sixty-seventh Ohio were also prom
inent in the late fights, where they showed
themselves worthy of being in Putnam s
brigade" :"
I give herewith partial list of the cas-
ualties of the command since the assault
on Fort Wagner, Oh the 18th instant -
AS the tri-monthly reports are not in, it
will be impossible to make the list fuller
for this mail.
