These troops from West Virginia (9 regiments) were designated an Independent Division, and General John W. Turner, formerly a division-general in the Tenth Corps, was assigned to its command. The Twenty-fourth Corps now consisted of three divisions, Foster's, Devens' and Turner's, containing 42 infantry regiments, and numbering 18,148 present for duty, equipped. On January 1, 1865, General Butler was relieved from the command of the Army of the James,--Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth Corps--and General Ord was appointed in his place.

The deaths from all causes, aside from battle — Column II, Table A — are subdivided in Table B so as to show the loss from disease, by itself; also, the additional loss from disease which occurred in Confederat
