Corporal Jas H Payne, P Reld, and Wm Watkins, of those missing, are known to have been wounded. It is not, I believe, certainly known whether Capt. Morris is killed, or only wounded and taken. It is to be hoped that he is a prisoner.

The horse of Lieut. Col D A Langhorne was shot under him while riding along the line. Col. L. however, escaped unhurt.

Col Burkes received a very slight wound in the hip — not severe enough, however, to disconcert him the least. His horse was struck two or three times, but carried him safely from the field.
