Major-General Saldern had charge of this, a man of many talents; and did it consummately.

The wounded, Austrian as well as Prussian, are placed in the empty meal-wagons; the more slightly wounded are set on horseback, double in possible cases: only the dead are left lying: 100 or more meal-wagons are left, their teams needed for drawing our 82 new cannon;--the wagons we split up, no Austrians to have them; usable only as firewood for the poor Country-folk.

The 4 or 5,000 good muskets lying on the field, shall not we take them also?
Each cavalry soldier slings one of them across his back, each baggage driver one: and the muskets too are taken care of.

About 9 A.M., Friedrich, with his 6,000 prisoners, new cannon-teams, sick-wagon teams, trophies, properties, is afoot again.

One of the succinctest of Kings.
I should have mentioned the joy of poor Regiment Bernburg; which rather affected me.
