Division advanced to its relief. Carnes' battery, which had been captured, owing to the loss of nearly all its horses, by S. Beatty's Brigade of VanCleve's Division, was subsequently recaptured by Brown's Brigade of Stewart's Division. Upon the advance of
Clayton, Wright withdrew to this line, and was not further engaged during the day, though ordered into position at 5:00 P.M. to support the night attack of General Cleburne's Division and a portion of General Cheatham's.
