heir support. Bowen's brigade of
Breckenridge's reserve corps, commanded by Colonel Martin since General
Bowen was wounded Sunday afternoon, was coming up in support. Colonel
Martin made his brigade lie down in a ravine till the torrent of
fugitives passed over, then rising, charged the pursuers. Hazen's
brigade, torn by the fire of two batteries, one on each flank, and now
charged by a fresh brigade, suffered in a short time more than half the
whole loss suffered by the division in the entire day. The loss of the
division in killed and wounded, was 90 killed and 558 wounded. The
Forty-first Ohio, in Hazen's brigade, out of a total engaged of 371,
lost 140 killed and wounded. The shattered regiments streamed back in
confusion, leaving a gap in the division line.

Ammen's brigade was sorely pressed. Constituting the left of the army,
it was in constant risk of being turned. Bruce's brigade, now put in
hazard by the recession of Hazen, could give only indirect assistance to
Ammen. Just then, Terrill's regular battery, of four twelve-pounders
(Napoleons) and two ten-pound Parrotts, having arrived from Savannah,
and missed its way to McCook's division, was ordered by General Buell to
Nelson's relief. Dashing out to the skirmish line in front of Colonel
Ammen, in order to get the range of the enemy's batteries, Terrill's
guns became the target of the concentrated fire of the opposing
batteries and the line of infantry. He was compelled to retire; but,
firing as he retired, he kept at a distance the long line that followed
and essayed to charge. Colonel Tuttle, who had been marching what was
left of W.H.L. Wallace's division in reserve, in rear of Nelson and
Crittenden, sent the Second Iowa forward in aid of Terrill. At the same
time the Fortieth Illinois, of McDowell's brigade, Sherman's division,
which had been marching in reserve to Nelson, filed to the front around
Ammen's left flank, and the Confederate line retired to their position
in the timber. Ammen's line, which fell back under the galling fire
called out by Terrill's artillery charge, now returned to the front and
occupied the timber where the enemy had been. It was now nearly two
o'clock. There was no more fighting in Nelson's front. Terrill's battery
suffered so severely that the Sixth Ohio was detailed as its special
support, and supplied artillerists from its ranks. From an advanced
position in Nelson's front, upon his skirmish line, this battery
succeeded in
