Prisoners from Ft DeRussy

In a list of prisoners from Ft DeRussy given in the ORs, 4 officers and 25 enlisted men are listed as being from the "Crescent Regiment." After looking at the "Friends of Ft DeRussy" web site, I believe these must have been Hutton's Battery of the "Crescent Artillery" and not the infantry regiment. Can someone verify that? Although I believe that the Crescent Regiment had been at Ft DeRussy earlier, I didn't think any of them were at the battle.
