The line of battle
of the Fourth Division is formed before day; all ready to commence the terrible
work again. The night, was rainy, disagreeable, yet, the men and officers move
promptly and appear ready and willing to meet the enemy. The scouts returning
all report the enemy in full retreat for Corinth. There is now time to look
over the field and witness the destruction—the dead, wounded, and dying, cannon
dismounted, arms scattered, horses killed, &c.
The loss of the
Tenth Brigade is as follows:
|
Killed
|
14
|
|
Wounded
|
106
|
|
Missing
|
4
|
|
Total*
|
124
|
Each brigade is to
bury all the dead on the ground over which it marched. The Tenth has been at
work, and buried 112 of the enemy that fell in our front. They took their
wounded off the field, except the prisoners we captured.
