Randolph to go forward with his company; and that the men under his command did not fall back until the line was entirely broken. Capt. Thom adds, that Lieut. Randolph behaved in a most gallant manner, as did also Lieut.

It entered the field with 11 commissioned officers, 17 non-commissioned officers, and 159 privates, and of these 6 were killed, 20 wounded, and 21 missing.
