to 108 killed, 611 wounded, and 17 missing.* The rebel loss was very
much greater, amounting to over 520 killed, 1,300 wounded, and 181
prisoners, not including the wounded. I am satisfied that these figures
are within bounds from personal inspection and what I consider reliable
information.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
A. B. CAMPBELL,
Medical Director, Army of the Mississippi.

Report of Lieut Col. Warren L. Lothrop, First Missouri Light Artillery,
Chief of Artillery.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI,
OFFICE CHIEF OF ARTILLERY,
Corinth, Miss., September 28, 1862.
SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith a report of the part taken
by the artillery under my command at the battle near luka on the 19th
instant:
General Rosecrans' army left Camp Clear Creek, near Corinth, on the
18th instant, encamped at Jacinto that night, and left the next morning for
Iuka. When within about 2 miles of the town the enemy was discovered
in force, and Captain Sands' battery (Eleventh Ohio Volunteers, under
command of First Lieutenant Sears) was ordered to the front and near
the right of the line of battle. At the same time I was ordered by Gen-
eral Rosecrans to take one section of the Twelfth Wisconsin Battery
(under command of Lieutenant Immell, First Missouri Light Artillery),
together with Colonel Perczel's regiment, Tenth Iowa Volunteers, and
post them on the right of the enemy's line. This position was in an
open field. The enemy was discovered in front, and I opened on them
with shell. They left and disappeared in the woods. Soon after this
they appeared in strong force, and pressed so hard upon the section
and regiment that they were compelled to withdraw. At this time a
general engagement occurred along the whole line and continued until
late in the evening. We remained on the battle-field during the night
