I visited the field the morning Of the 18th
and witnessed the effects Of the battle OF
the 18th, and could not arrive at any 9TH
or conclusion than that our boys had s'done
it up" all right. The loss to the rebs was
serious In officers and men. We buried 7
Colonies, Majors and had 2 Colonels priso-
ners. heard one of the officers Of our army
remark that we were now killing and cap
