The Daily Dispatch: July 12, 1862., [Electronic resource], One hundred dollars reward. (search)
o the field opposite our original position in the morning, when fresh brigades rose and poured a deadly volley upon them, forcing them in turn to retreat, and enabling the Confederates to recover the ground before lost. By Wednesday morning the enemy had departed, leaving on the battle-field his dead and wounded. The loss of the enemy was immense. His dead were laid out in lines by hundreds, preparatory to burial, no doubt, if he had not been beaten. His loss was three or four to our one. The casualties of the 2d Louisiana are, out of 100 men carried into action, 29 killed on the field, and 164 wounded. Five color bearers were shot down, and the flag well marked with Minies. The loss of the whole brigade was 66 killed and 365 wounded. One touching incident deserves to be recorded Lieut. Culpeper, of the Vernon Guard, feeling himself mortally wounded, slowly raised himself to his knees, and praying as calmly in the hottest of the fire as in his closet, died in that position.
