1865 THE FLAG RESTORED TO SUMTER. 61
triamph for the first time heard in four long years, the old banner was again
planted on its battlements. With all the tons of metal which had been hurled
upon her, she was yet a safe and impregnable refuge for her garrison.
Mgajor Hennessy now struck promptly, with his little detachment, for the
city of Charleston. He stopped long enough at Pinckney to re-possess it, and
landed at the battery before the rebel troops had fled from the city. The de.
mand for its surrender was but a matter of form. Thus was consummated the
capture of this stronghold of treason.
Later, as Sherman's legions marched through South Carolina, the Fifty-sece
ond joined them. Their march terminated in April, with Johnson's surrender
near Raleigh. A few week's further duty at Salisbury, North Carolina, and the
regiment was mustered out of service at Harrisburg, on the 12th day of July,
1865.
