His official report gives the casualties as follows: killed803 wounded1,417 missing170 total1, loss of Myers's and Rosa's batteries: Horses124 Guns at Caissons4 In the official report of Gen. Huribut we find the following "I recommend that the officers of the 13th Ohio battery be mustered out of service, and the men and material remaini3th Ohio battery be mustered out of service, and the men and material remaining be applied to filling up the ranks of some battery which has done honor to the service." The reason for this we find in a forward portion of the report, as follows: "A single shot from the enemy's battery struck in Myers's batter, when officers and men, with a common impulse of disgraceful cowardice, abandoned the entire battery, horses, caissons and guns, and fied, and I saw them no more until Tuesday."
