June 15th, the Forty-sixth, with its brigade, supported by the two brigades of the division, was ordered to charge a line on a ridge some half a mile distant. This was done in gallant style. Twenty two officers, four hundred men, and six hundred stand of small arms were captured, and many of the enemy were killed and wounded. On the twenty sixth, Walcutt's and two brigades from General Smith's division, were detailed as a storming party. The Forty-sixth was in the advance of the movement. The heavy abatis of the enemy's main works was too cumbersome, and after repeated and determined efforts, our men were obliged to withdraw. In the assault the Forty-sixth captured sixty prisoners, but it's own loss, in killed and wounded was severe. After the evacuation of Kenesaw, the regiment moved for Atlanta, and on the evening of the twentieth, went into line in front of the city. Here it did gallant service. At Ezra Church the regiment was again engaged, capturing the colors of the Thirtieth Louisiana, with it's colonel. Ten officers and fully one half of the men of the rebel regiment were killed. The flag, which was a present from the ladies of New Orleans to the regiment, was presented by General Logan to its immediate captor, Harry Davis, and was contributed by him to the State of Ohio. It is now in the relic room of the State House, at Columbus. August 3d the Forty-sixth, with details from other regiments, was ordered to drive in, or capture, the enemy's outpost. The contest was severe, and resulted in the capture of about one hundred prisoners. At Jonesboro the regiment charged the enemy's line, on the twenty-eighth, capturing four officers and fifty men. On the second of september the regiment captured the enemy's fortified skirmish line. At Lovejoy's Station, the regiment had a hand to hand conflict, in which the enemy was forced to retire, with the loss of about fifty prisoners. Next, the regiment moved against Hood, in northern Georgia and Alabama, after which it retired to the vicinity of Atlanta, where it arrived on November 5th. The regiment was at Raleigh when the news of the surrender of Lee's army was received. It participated in the grand review at Washington, and was mustered out July 22, 1865.
