Then there was a brief pause, when General Whiting with his own, Pettigrew's, and Hampton's brigades faced to the left and attacked our troops in line of battle from the ninemile road. They advanced straight toward Sumner, firing as they came and shouting. Our infantry returned the fire in volleys, while the artil, all Smith's wing of the Confederate army that night within reach as reinforcements for Longstreet, except Hood's brigade, was diverted, and in this engagement of an hour and a half lost 1,283 men, including the brigade commanders, Hampton and Pettigrew, seriously wounded; the latter was left unconscious on the field and captured, and General Hatton killed.
