But General Pope reported to General Halleck that 273 field and company officers, 6,700 privates, 123 pieces of heavy artillery, 35 pieces of field artillery, all of the very best character and latest patterns, 7,000 stand of small-arms, tents for 12,000 men, several wharfboats, and hundreds of horses and mules, with immense stores of ammunition, were surrendered to him. Col. W. G.

A pathetic incident occurred when the roll of Company G, of the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Tennessee, was called. It had one representative present, and he disabled from wounds received in battle. He walked out of line, and addressing General Cheatham, said: General, there
