But the only account (by a newspaper correspondent) that gives precise details, makes the numbers 19 killed, 6 wounded, and 67 prisoners. men and a large share of their plunder. Our loss was about half so many. It is plain that most of them might have been captured, but for the over-estimate of their strength by our officers. Gen. Burnside, two months later, sent a cavalry force, under Col. H. S.

Foster was preparing to operate, under Sherman's orders, against Charleston, when he was relieved — because of his suffering from an unhealed wound — by Gen. Gillmore. Gen. Sherman remained over a month at Savannah, resting and refitting his army preparatory to further and more arduous efforts. He had intended to resume his advance on the 15th of January, 1865; at which time, accordingly, the 17th cogathered from all lower South Carolina, making all haste to cross the Santee and Pedee before Sherman could turn upon and crush him; which, as Sherman did not attempt to intercept him, having other objects in view, was safely accomplished. Gen. Gillmore, then in command on the coast, reports the guns captured in Charleston and its defenses at 450; a good part of them 8 and 10-inch Columbiads and 7-inch rifled guns — many of foreign make.
