The language of eulogy could scarcely do more than simple justice to the courage and determination of this officer and his valorous Texans. Ever in the thickest of the fight, they were always ready to respond to any demand upon their courage and endurance. Stanley reported the loss of 14 killed, including Capt. J. J. Dickson and Lieutenant Hamil, two of his bravest officers, and 42 wounded. Siege of Corinth.

Although there are circumstances favoring the report, it lacks confirmation. The pursuing party returned satisfied, that a prominent officer was killed. The rebels stopped at a house to obtain water and refreshments, and in reply to the question what had happened, they said, "The Yankees have killed two of our best officers, and they are in the wagon there."
