The Daily Dispatch, Apr 18, 1862 1862
None of the Federal accounts before us make any mention of the wounding of 
Gen. Buell. The correspondent says:
 
Our loss in officers is very heavy, but it is impossible as present to procure 
their names. The following are among the number: 

Brig Gen. W. H. Wallace, killed.

Colonel Sweeny, 52d Illinois, Acting Brigadier-General, wounded. He received 
two shots in his only remaining arm, having lost one in Mexico. Also, a shot 
in one leg.-Colonel Sweeny kept the field until the close of the fight, and he 
excited the admiration of the whole army.

the breast on Sunday. He returned to the field on Monday.

Another account adds the following to the list of casualties.

possession, as well as the bodies of a large number of other prominent rebel
