Three days after, a twelve-pounder howitzer, with a gun detachment under Sergeant Toomey, was sent up the Mississippi to General Farguson's command on Deer Creek.

The losses of the Third Maryland section at Jackson, during the seven days it was under fire, was as follows: Killed--Corporal L. McCurry, Private Henry Gordon. Wounded--Sergeant Daniel Toomey, Privates Brown, Emmit Wells, and J. P. Wills. Lieutenant Ritter was also wounded on the instep by a piece of shell, but was not obliged to leave his command.
