Our Batteries.
The West Point Battery[1] is badly cut up, It loses all the caissons and equipments, five pieces, forty horses, and five men killed and seven wounded. All the guns were thoroughly disables before they were abandoned.
The Ayres Battery[2], formerly Sherman’s, was brought off without any loss of consequence.
The Seymour Battery[3] was all saved except one 30 pound rifled gun that was thrown off the bridge, and so lost.
