Civil War Infantry
Twenty Third Infantry
Engaging again the enemy at Town Creek on the 20th, capturing two pieces of artillery, and taking 350 prisoners, a movement was immediately made up the south bank of the river, above Wilmington, and on the night of the 22d the troops moved back ten miles to cross the river for the purpose of rejoining General Terry. The crossing was made on boats from the fleet on the morning of the 23d, when it was found that Wilmington had been evacuated during the previous night.
