Our lled was from 300 to 400, and our wounded from 1,200 to 1,500. These were removed to Dover. The Confederates were commanded by Brigadier Gens.

In this way nearly two-thirds of Floyd's brigade escaped. Gen. Buckner is also reported to have escaped, but the safety of Generals Pillow and B. Johnson is not definitely known. The enemy fought very desperately. Snow wa
