and to Haynie's left, the long line of
rifle-pits was a line of musketry, and from projecting points the
batteries sent their fire. Morrison was wounded. His men could not climb
over the intrenchment. The regiments recalled, fell back in order out of
fire. The dead leaves on the hill-side were inflamed in some way, in
this close contest, and when artillery and musketry had ceased, helpless
wounded lying on the hill-side were burned to death. Colonel Heiman's
men, leaping over their works, were able to save some. General Buckner
reported his loss in the assault on Hanson's position as thirty-nine
killed and wounded. Ten killed and thirty wounded were reported as
Heiman's loss, most of them in Maney's battery. Nearly every regiment in
the entire line of the intrenchments suffered some casualties from the
National artillery. The national loss was more severe. The pertinacity
of the attack through the day prevented the besieged from suspecting the
inferiority in numbers of the attacking force.

The Carondelet, a thirteen-gun ironclad, arrived in the morning of the
13th, and fired at the water-batteries at long-range. One shot struck a
thirty-two-pound gun, disabling it, and killed Captain Dixon, of the
engineers, who had assisted Colonel Gilmer in the construction of both
Henry and Donelson. A shot from the one hundred and twenty-eight-pound
gun in the upper battery, entering a porthole, damaged the machinery of
the Carondelet, and she drew out of range.

The fleet, together with transports bringing reinforcements and
supplies, arrived toward evening. McClernand had moved so far around to
the right as to leave a wide gap between his left and Smith's division.
McArthur's brigade, of Smith's division, was moved to the right. Near
midnight, upon the request of General McClernand, McArthur detached two
regiments and moved them farther to the right, to within a quarter of a
mile of McClernand's left. Severe wind set in with the night. Snow fell
and the ground froze. Fires could not be lighted by either army. Some of
McClernand's regiments, having thrown away their blankets on going into
action, sat up all night.

General Lewis Wallace arrived from Fort Henry about noon, Friday, the
14th, and was placed in command of a division of troops just arrived on
the transports, styled Third Division. The First Brigade, commanded by
Colonel Charles Cruft, consisted of the Seventeenth and Twenty-fifth
Kentucky, and the Thirty-first and F
