Wagons, artillery, cavalry, infantry, negroes and wounded, went back in one confused mass, blocking up the roads and running through woods and fields. Over two hundred wagons and fourteen pieces of artillery were abandoned in less than one hour after the retreat began. Our forces pursued until dark and then camped for the night.

Sturgis; and the commands being full numbered not less than nine thousand. T
