The officers and men, with scarcely an exception, believed they could hold the place and were eager to try to do so.

Our forces in the Gap were estimated at something like 3,000, about 1,800 of whom were captured, the balance making their escape. Col. Slemp, of the 64th, escaped with all his Captains except one, and all his Lieutenants except three or four, and about 100 private
