as the furniture of my room. The lieutenant's quarters were as well provided. We had also a dining-room for our mess. The men's quarters had stoves and bunks. Wood was tolerably plenty. The post was supplied with excellent water brought in a boat from Charleston and kept in a large tank near the wharf, which was situated a l, and the woods between the church and Grimball's, in which there had been so many skirmishes between the pickets of the two armies, were being rapidly cut down. Wood was plenty, and the men were comfortable. There was some fever, but in the main the command was healthy. Private George Gist, of Company C (Wee Nees), got my perween the road and woods. Private George Gist again took charge of a volunteer detail and soon built me a comfortable shanty, with mud chimney and wide fireplace. Wood and timber were plenty and convenient, and a good many shanties soon went up. The meat ration was being regularly issued, and the command was as comfortable as we

ng my men. （Ibid, page 582). I may also add that from about two thousand seven hundred officers and men on the morning of the 6th of April, Cleburne found his brigade muster but eight hundred on the morning of the 7th. （Ibid, page 582). Brigadier-General Wood, who commanded Hardee's third brigade, says that under orders from General Hardee to move to the centre and front, he took his troops under and beyond the shells of the gunboats, until, coming on a line of troops (Confederates) in his front, he halted and ordered the men to rest, selecting a position the most secure from the shelling. From the shells, however, at this point he lost ten killed and wounded. In a short time I saw, says General Wood, the line on my front moving to the rear around my right. A staff-officer then ordered me to fall back to the encampment we had last passed, and to allow my men to get something to eat and rest for the night. （Ibid, page 593). Here, as we see, were two lines of Confederate troops, no<

74, or thirty-eight per cent. The loss in Van DerVeer's brigade, of this division, in four regiments and one battery, was 840 out of 1,788 engaged, or forty-nine per cent. Croxton's brigade, of the same division, made up of five regiments, lost 938. Of Van DerVeer's regiments, the Ninth Ohio lost fifty per cent., the Thirty-fifth Ohio a small fraction less than fifty per cent., the Second Minnesota 192, or exactly fifty per cent., and the Eighty-seventh Indiana about half of its number. General Wood lost 1,070 in two brigades. These figures become the more significant when compared with the statement of losses in the world's noted battles. General Wheeler, the distinguished Confederate cavalry commander, thus vividly presented this question at the gathering of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland and Confederates at Chattanooga in 1881: Waterloo was one of the most desperate and bloody fields chronicled in European history, yet Wellington's casualties were less than
