SEVENTH INFANTRY.


The Seventh Infantry left Monroe for Virginia, on the 5th of , September, 1861, its muster rolls showing the names of 884 officers and enlisted men. On the 1st of July it returned 1098 names which had appeared on its records. The Regiment lay on the Upper Potomac during the winter, and was engaged in the disastrous action at Ball's Bluff. It followed Mcclellan to the Peninsula in the Spring, and sustained severe loss in the battles of that campaign. It also participated in the Maryland actions; at the battle of Antietam, it is unofficially reported, more than half its force engaged was disabled. At the cap- ture of Fredericksburg, December 13, it volunteered to dis. lodge the rebel sharp-shooters who were impeding the con- struction of the bridges, crossed the Rappahannock for that purpose in small boats, was the first of the Union forces to land on the opposite bank, and with the aid of a Massachusetts regiment drove the enemy from their hiding places with much slaughter, capturing nearly as many prisoners as they num- bered themselves. Only three monthly returns have been re- ceived from the Seventh since it went into active service, the last being for January, and no definite data can, therefore, be given concerning its condition. It is much reduced in num- bers, and forms part of Gen. Hooker's Grand Division of the Army of the Potomac, its officers being as follows:

Its route was through Ken- tucky and Tennessee, via Bowling Green and Nashville.
