Butler, forbore from further resistance to the advance of the opposing army, and took effectual precautions against anything being done which might provoke Generary throughout their march through South and North Carolina.

By order of Colonel Johnson Hagood, in command of advanced troops, the Louisiana battalion, Lieutenant-Colonel McEnery, reinforced the garrison at Secessionville during the fight, and rushing gallantly into the fire, with the cry of Remember Butler, soon drove the enemy from his flanking position at Hill's.
