Battery C
The infantry on the right of the Ohio battery broke, when it limbered up and retired, leaving the right flank of the Michigan battery exposed and without support. The enemy being within twenty yards of the guns, and unable to maintain the position, it limbered to the rear and moved to the south side of the Memphis and Charleston railroad, and from there to the rear of General Rosecrans's headquarters, when the firing ceased, the enemy being driven back at all Points in a very demoralized condition. During the engagement the battery ost 11 in wounded and missing, and had 6 horses killed and 8 wounded.
