4th Cavalry
I directed the 4th Regulars to keep in line with and cover the flanks of the 3d brigade, which again advanced in magnificent style, charging over open ground and carrying the works at Somer's house and the last line of breastworks at the edge of the woods beyond the house which defended the ' Mississippi Tigers.' " The entire force having been ordered to return to camp, I sent one regiment to escort the ambulances with the killed and wounded, and with the other two brought up the rear. I arrived in camp about 8 P. M. Our total loss was 1 killed and 12 wounded. The rebels had 20 killed or mortally wounded, including one lieutenant of the ' Tigers'?29th Mississippi Infantry.
