notes.--Left Columbus, January 19, 1862, proceeding to West Virginia, where it served under Lander. In March, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Voris, it moved with Shields's Division up the Shenandoah Valley to Kernstown, where Shields won a decided victory over Stonewall Jackson, the regiment losing in that battle 9 killed and 38 wounded. Embarking at Alexandria, June 29th, it proceeded to Harrison's Landing, on the James River, to reenforce McClellan; but the Government having ordered that the route by the James must be abandoned, McClellan was obliged to withdraw his army, upon which the Sixty-seventh was ordered to Suffolk, Va. It remained there a few months, enjoying the needed rest and perfecting its drill, after which it moved to Hilton Head, S. C., arriving there February 1, 1863. It participated in the operations about Charleston Harbor in the summer of 1863, and took part in the disastrous assault on Fort Wagner, losing in that brief action 19 killed, 82 wounded, and 25 missing. The regiment went home in February, 1864, on a veteran furlough, and, returning, joined the Army of the James at Bermuda Hundred, where it was assigned to Howell's (1st) Brigade, Terry's (1st) Division, Tenth Corps. At Chester Station, May 10, 1864, the regiment lost 12 killed, 64 wounded, and 2 missing; from that time on, it was under fire almost daily for several months. In December, 1864, the Tenth Corps was merged in the newly-formed Twenty-fourth Corps, in which the regiment fought at the victorious assault on Fort Gregg; though but a remnant of its former self, it lost in that bloody affair 8 killed and 55 wounded.
