Johnston himself, after the first rally, hurried back for fresh regiments, while Jackson's men not only held their ground but began to drive the Northern troops before them.
The Invincibles had fallen back somewhat, leaving many dead behind them.
Many more were wounded.

Harry had received two bullets through his clothing, and St.Clair was nicked on the wrist.

Colonel Talbot and Lieutenant-Colonel St.Hilaire were still unharmed, but a deep gloom had settled over the Invincibles.

They had not been beaten, but certainly they were not winning.

Their ranks were seamed and rent.
