What unit in a US Civil War battle had by far the fewest casualties?

By far and away, artillery soldiers had an extremely low rate of casualties. The numbers of such casualties are so low its difficult to imagine they can be real. But there were. For example, in the Confederate victory at Chancellorsville historians note how heavy Lee's casualties were, even in victory, with the exception of artillery soldiers. In that battle only 46 artillery men were lost.
