Three French men-of-war (Victoire, D'Assas and Diamante)…

Johnston, unable to halt the Union turning movement caused by Sherman's crossing of the Oostanaula, had been forced to retire, burning the railroad span and a nearby wagon bridge in the early morning of May 16.

After the Union repairs the bridges and transports more men over, they continue in the pursuit of the Confederates, leading to the Battle of Adairsville on May 17.

There are sixty-one hundred combined casualties: thirty-five hundred for the Union and twenty-six hundred for the Confederacy.

...at Dallas on May 28.
