The whole Northern line was now engaged.

Grant, true to his resolution, had hurled every man and every gun upon his foe.
The Southern generals felt the immense weight of the numbers that were now driving down upon them.

Their decimated ranks could not withstand the charge of two armies.

In the center where Buell's men, having stood fast from the first, were now advancing, they were compelled to give way and lost several guns.

On the wings the heavy Northern brigades were advancing also, and the whole Southern line was pushed back.
