The Tennessee brigade, now reduced to less than 1,000 men, says General Archer, advanced alone and unsupported across an open field to attack the enemy posted and protected in the wood beyond by the works, which a short time afterward it required seven brigades to carry. The Tennesseeans advanced at a double-quick to within twenty steps of the breastworks, when they fell back before an irresistible fire of artillery and small-arms. A half hour later they moved forward to the attack of the same position and entered the works in the front line of attack, the enemy now being swept from the field.

Archer's brigade lost in this action 49 killed and 271 wounded, a loss in the two days battles of 542. Among the killed was the intrepid Lieut.-Col. J. C. Shackelford, commanding the First Tennessee. Capt. William P. Tolley of the same regiment was dangerously wounded and disabled for life. He was one of the most gallant soldiers of the war, and enjoys the distinction of commanding the first company organized in Tennessee. All the field officers of this regiment and of the Seventeenth Tennessee were killed or wounded. The gallant Col. John F. Goodner and Maj. W. H. Williamson of the Seventh were severely wounded. Lieut.-Col. John K. Howard of the same regiment received a mortal wound. A noble gentleman, a gifted orator, a valiant soldier, he fell in the first charge of his regiment, close up to the enemy's works. It was not the fortune of many regiments to have two field officers so richly endowed intellectually as Hatton and Howard. In a notice of Hatton, written a few days after his fall, Colonel Howard said: ‘A whole community will assemble around the stricken widow of our general; and the mothers of the noble boys who fell by his side will mingle their tears with hers’; words prophetic of a scene to be re-enacted in a few short weeks by the same community of people when intelligence of his own untimely death was received.
