The losses on both sides had been exceedingly heavy.  Nearly 13,000 men, 3 including no less than fifteen generals and brigadiers, had fallen within six hours.

(3) The Federals engaged against Jackson lost in five and a half
hours 7000 officers and men.  During the seven hours they were engaged
at Gravelotte the Prussian Guard and the Saxon Army Corps lost
10,349; but 50,000 infantry were in action.  The percentage of loss
(20) was about the same in both cases.  The Confederate losses up to
10.30 A.M. were as follows: 
Jones                    700
Lawton                 1,334
Hood                   1,002
McLaws                 1,119
Walker                 1,012
Anderson                  87
D.H.  Hill (estimate)     500

But although the Confederate casualties were not greatly exceeded by those of the enemy, and were much larger in proportion to their strength, the Federals had lost more than mere numbers.  The morale of the troops had suffered, and still more the morale of the leaders.  Even Sumner, bravest of men, had been staggered by the fierce assault which had driven Sedgwick’s troops like sheep across the corn-field, nor was McClellan disposed to push matters to extremity.

Over in the West Wood, on the other hand, discouragement had no place.  Jackson had not yet abandoned hope of sweeping the enemy from the field.  He was disappointed with the partial success of McLaws’ counterstroke.  It had come too late.  The fortuitous advance of Smith’s division, at the very crisis of the struggle, had, in all human probability, rescued the Federal right from a terrible defeat.  Had McLaws been able to reach the East Wood he would have compelled the hostile batteries to retreat; the Federal infantry, already shattered and disorganised, could hardly have held on, and the line would have been broken through.  But although one opportunity had been lost, and he was once more thrown on the defensive, Jackson’s determination to make the battle decisive of the war was still unshaken.  His judgment was never clearer.  Shortly before eleven o’clock his medical director, appalled by the number of wounded men sent back from the front, and assured that the day was going badly, rode to the West Wood in order to discuss the advisability of transferring the field hospitals across the Potomac.  Dr. McGuire found Jackson sitting quietly on ‘Little Sorrel’ behind the line of battle, and some peaches he had brought with him were gratefully accepted.  He then made his report, and his apprehensions were not made less by the weakness of the line which held
