iment was assigned the difficult and
dangerous duty of holding the enemy In
check while Hawley's brigade on the
right and Ponds on the left withdrew
from the front. This left the regiment
liable to capture. 1t held the enemy
until the troops gained safe position,
then retired in perfect order, hating
twice to drive back the pursuers.
or this incident the brigade comman-
der, in his official report, said: "Of the
Tenth Connecticut Volunteers / need
hardly say more than that they fully
sustained the splendid reputation they
have hitherto borne for steady and SOL
dierly behavior under the most trying
circumstances. They may have been
equalled. but never surpassed. Under
a fire in which eighteen men fell from
the left of the regiment in almost as
many seconds, not a man spoke a word
or moved heel from the alignment"
Reference was made to the regiments
gallant work on the turnpike between
Richmond and Petersburg, the attack
on Beauregard; the capture of Hewlett
House Battery and the excellent show
ing at Deep Bottom. A despatch from
Gen. Butler, in which he spoke of their
exceptional gallantry,, was read. The
fight at Deep Gully and Fuggillps hills
was referred to. Gen. Birney and Gen.
Plaisted both thanked the regiment for
gallant work under fire. The morning
fight at Hatch's Run was also spoken
Of. AS part of the attacking column on
Fort Wagner they fought for hours and
ended by planting their State flag with
80 bullet-holes in it, and three in the
staff, as the first flag on the parapet.
Gen. Gibson presented the regiment
with bronze eagle to take the place
of the one shot from their flagstaff.
The regiment was mustered out at
Hartford after four years campaign
ing. The record Of the regiment in the
war was: Killed, "a; missing in action,
5; fatally wounded, 55; wounded, 1882;
accidently wounded, 3: prisoners, Al,
