The latter perceived that an irreparable blow had been dealt against their cause, and throughout the Confederacy there was much wailing, lamentation, and bitter recriminations. It was believed that Charleston and Savannah would soon be in possession of the National forces, and that Forts Sumter and Pulaski would be repossessed by the Government. General R. S. Ripley, an old army officer who had abandoned his flag, was the Confederate commander of that sea-coast district, See page 311, volume I. having his headquarters at Charleston. He had arrived on Hilton Head just before the action commenced, but retired to Coosawhatchie, on the main, satisfied that no glory was to be achieved in a fight so hopeless on the part of his friends. It was under his advice that the Confederate troops abandoned that region to the occupation of the National force

y, and about equal on both sides, amounting in the aggregate to about seven thousand each. Among the National officers killed or disabled in this battle were Colonel Bailey and Major Van Valkenburg, of the artillery, and Colonels Riker, Brown, Ripley, and Miller, of the infantry. Among the wounded were Generals Naglee, Devens, Howard, and Wessels, and Colonel Cross, of the Fifth New Hampshire. This was heavy, when it is considered that not more than fifteen thousand men on either side were ecoming storm. Report, page 124. He did not wait long.

red forward, and at an early hour in the forenoon, after some skirmishing, Cox reached the borders of the Pass. Under cover of a portion of the guns of the two batteries, he pressed up the wooded and rocky acclivity. He was at first confronted by General Garland, whose division was soon so badly cut up, and so disheartened by the loss of its commander, who was killed early in the action, that it fell back in confusion, and its place was supplied by that of Anderson, supported by Rhodes and Ripley. These held the position firmly for a long time, but, Wise's House, South Mountain battle-field. this is a view of Wise's House when the writer sketched it, at the beginning of October, 1866. it is on the Sharpsburg road, about a mile and a half South from Keedy's tavern, on the pike at Turner's Gap. finally, by hard and persistent fighting Cox gained a foothold on the crest, not far from the house of Daniel Wise, an earnest Union man.

Grant thought it best not to go farther, and Rosecrans was recalled. The fugitives had been followed forty miles by the main body of the victors, and sixty miles by the cavalry. General Rosecrans reported his loss in the battle of Corinth and in the pursuit at 2,359, of whom 315 were killed, 1,812 wounded, and 232 missing. We have no official repo
