Oasualt;es.--3od Maine REGIMENT


H'poRs. 32d Me-. Rra'T, PETERSBURG, vA.,
August 1, 1854.
To the Editor Of the Press
We have been through another hard fight,
and as was one of the favored ones who es-
capped | will give you list of our casualties as
near as can be ascertained.
A rebel fort was undermined and blown up at
l-2 O'Clock, A. NJ, July 80. Our brigade was
chosen with several others to charge through
the breach; the distance between the Zines at
this point was about 100 yards. We crossed the
space ON the double quick, passed through the
fort and into the rebel trenches beyond; here we
took position which we were ordered to hold.
Col Wentworth was wounded just after We had
passed the fort and was carried back into it. As
soon as could leave, went back to see him
and was ordered by our Brigadier to see that he
was taken to the rear. 1t Barker of Co. C,
was with me. Capt. Hammond, of Co. d.
came to the rear with 1t. Chase who was woun-
ded. We were the only officers who escaped I'M
hurt or captured out of 16 who were engaged.
Shortly after we left, the rebels rallied, charged
upon our forces, and, owing to panic which
was created, captured large number. Below
| give you our casualties as near correct as pos
sible, those who are reported as missing are
probably prisoners:
