In addition to the organizations in the above tabulation, the State accepted, in 1864, some separate unattached companies, 24 in number, which were sworn in for one hundred days' service. Some of these companies reenlisted for one year, and were organized as the 4th Heavy Artillery. The 2(1 Heavy Artillery lost two companies at the capture of Plymouth, N. C.; they numbered about 275 men, of whom 173 died while in the hands of the enemy. The deaths in the 39th include 102 which occurred in Confederate prisons, this regiment having lost 246 men captured in the battle at the Weldon Railroad. The loss by disease in the 30th Infantry was caused by the climate of the Lower Mississippi, where it was stationed for over two years. The 5th Battery — Phillips's — sustained the greatest percentage of loss (in battle) of any light battery in the volunteer service.
