Its pieces moved down the road from Dalton to Atlanta, and 5 killed and 25 woun ded was the number of its casualties. The battery's loss was small around Atlanta; but, havin g marched with the army into Tennessee, it was overwhelmed at Nashville, losing its guns, si x men killed, and 22 captured. Placed in Spanish Fort, the garrison was under fire for two w eeks, with some loss. Moving up to Marion Station, (Miss), the battery was surrendered with t he department.
