GENERAL STATISTICS.
Number of enlistments in 1861, 167; 1862, 190 ; 1863, 220 ; 1864, 224 ; 1865. 581 ; year unknown, 9. Whole num- , ber of enlistments, 2191. Of this number about 300 were transferred from the N. Y. Independent Battalion and 117th N. Y. Vols.
The casualties in engagements with the enemy were. 947. or 43 per cent. Deducting the recruits of 1865, none of whom were in more than one action (Wilmington), and with only three wounded, the loss is increased to nearly 59 per cent. Including deaths from disease, the percentage of losses in action to the whole number is nearly one half, and without the 1865 recruits, two thirds.
236 were killed or died of wounds received in action.
623 were wounded, and SS were taken prisoners.
87 died of disease, and 40 at Andersonville, Richmond, and other Confederate prisons.
