Further Particulars of the Battle

KILLED AND WOUNDED

Gallant Conduct of the 15th Iowa Regiment

Col. H. T. Reid Wounded


CAIRO, April 12, 10 p.m. – The body of Gen. Wallace of Ottawa, accompanied by his staff and Col. T. L. Dickey, arrived on the steamer Woodford this evening. She brought down some 500 prisoners, on their way to St. Louis.

A special train with the body of Gen. Wallace will leave this evening for Ottawa.

Col. Hugh T. Reid, 15th Iowa from Keokuk, was paralyzed by a ball in the back of his head.

Lieut. Dewey, badly wounded in shoulder.

Major Belknap, slightly wounded.

Captain Hendericks killed.

This noble regiment had just arrived on Saturday with 1,045 men. Only 407 answered to their names after the battle. They had received their guns at St. Louis, and left Keokuk only two weeks ago – were in Prentiss’ Division.

An officer just arrived, says Prentiss is still a prisoner.

Nearly all of the 55th Illinois, and the 12th, 14 and 8th Iowa were surrounded and taken prisoners, while maintaining their ground and fighting like heroes.

The 14th, 16th and 18th Wisconsin were all in the fight. The 16th was in Prentiss’s Division, and with others were mostly dispersed and captured. What remained fought bravely and suffered terribly.

The 18th reached Pittsburg Saturday evening and marched to the front of Sherman’s Division; were exposed on Sunday to the heaviest fire, returning it with an energy worthy of veterans. This Regiment was entirely raw; had been paraded only a few times; had been hurried down from Milwaukee right into the heat of the fight, and many had never loaded a gun till they did it before the enemy. All these regiments did splendidly.

It is impossible as yet to procure a list of casualties.

Gov. Hovey and party with a boat load of hospital stores left this evening to relieve the wounded.
