Of the Virginia militia, three were wounded on the field; and, as they were the first to fly, not many were taken.
For the numbers engaged, the loss sustained by the regulars was considerable.

It amounted to between three and four hundred men, of whom a large portion were officers.

The British accounts state the loss of the American army at eight or nine hundred killed, and about one thousand prisoners; while their own is said to be only three hundred and twenty-five, of whom two hundred and forty-five were wounded.

Although many of the militia were killed during the flight, this account is probably exaggerated.

It would seem too, that while the continental troops kept the field, the loss on both sides, in that part of the action, must have been nearly equal.
On his retreat, the day of the battle, General Gates received information of the complete success of Sumpter.
