Gen. Averell was near by and complimented the men on their good work in righting the gun under such difficult conditions. The battery lost heavily in this battle. Capt. Ewing was severely wounded and left in the hands of the enemy, together with the killed and other wounded of the battery. The captain relates that when he found himself outside the protection of the old flag, he could not keep back the unbidden tear, and all the prisoners shared in the feeling. Samuel Lessig and Charles Arbogast... were killed and Serg'ts. H. A. Evans, Adam Brown, and S. J. Os- borne; W. F. McClure, Lawrence Marshall, John N. Taggart, Fred Rowe, George Hart, Phillip Zeigler, John Fife and James Metcalf were severely wounded. Sergt. Evans was struck on the right side of his head by a ])iece of shell, which exploded just over him, and all that saved him was it striking the hat band, which turned it out. He was knocked sense- less and the bone badly shattered, seventeen pieces being taken out and it now troubles him severely.
