[276] captured on the field or in the pursuit. Besides these we captured sixty-four artillery horses with the harness, twenty-six wagons, and much camp equipage, clothing and other property abandoned in their flight. Would that we could have ended at Manassas, and the thousands of lives of the heroic men of the South been spared.
Adown the coming years did beat,
     The pulse of hope, life seemed so bright,
That little recked we of defeat,
     Nor dreamed such days should close in night.

Athens, Ga., May 24, 1902.
