Twenty-one commissioned officers, several of whom afterwards died of their wounds, and two hundred and forty-two non-commissioned officers and privates were wounded.

Among the dead was the brave and much lamented General Butler.

This gallant officer had served through the war of the revolution; and had, on more than one occasion, distinguished himself in a remarkable manner.

In the list of those who shared his fate, were the names of many other excellent officers who had participated in all the toils, the dangers, and the glory, of that long conflict which terminated in the independence of their country.
At the head of the list of wounded were Lieutenant Colonels Gibson and Darke, Major Butler, and Adjutant General Sargent, all of whom were veteran officers of great merit, who displayed their accustomed bravery on this unfortunate day.

General St.Clair, in his official letter, observed: "the loss the public has sustained by the fall of so many officers, particularly of General Butler and Major Ferguson, can not be too much regretted; but it is a circumstance that will alleviate the misfortune in some measure, that all of them fell most gallantly doing their duty." From the weight of the fire, and the circumstance of his being attacked nearly at the same time in front and rear, General St.Clair was of opinion that he was overpowered by numbers.
