The State has furnished sixty-sevenrecruits for the FIFTY-FOURTH REGIMENT MASSACHUSETTS VOLUNTEERS (colored). These men have served faithfully, and have participated in several engagements with the enemy. No detailed report of the movements and operations of the regiment has been received. But, in pursuance of orders from the War Department, abstracts from the bi-monthly muster-rolls of the regiment have been furnished to me regularly by the commanding officer of the regiment. The regiment was mustered out of service on the twentieth of August, 1865. Of the Vermont recruits for the regiment, forty-five were mustered out of service, ten had been previously discharged, one deserted, and three have died. The remainder are are sick in general hospital.

I am indebted to Brig.-Gen. Stephen Thomas for a summary of the history and movements and operations of the EIGHTH REGIMENT, from the time when it was mustered into the service of the United States, February 18, 1862, to January, 1865, which is published in Appendix C.
