The British loss in this brilliant and well-planned battle, was sixty-three killed and one hundred wounded and prisoners; the American loss was only four killed, including Captain Inman, and Captain Clarke wounded.
At the period now referred to, he had already, by various well-planned and boldly-achieved expeditions, accomplished chiefly in the nighttime, gained a high reputation, and the sobriquet, by which he was generally known, of El Mochuelo, or the Night Owl. The man seated opposite to the partisan just described, was of a totally different stamp.
It made also a profound impression upon the French cabinet. Eagerly watching the course of events, they saw the significance of the fact that an army raised within a year could fight a battle in the open field, endure a severe defeat, and then take the offensive and make a bold and well-planned attack, which narrowly missed being overwhelmingly successful.
Our adversary only consented to forego the action for false imprisonment on condition that Charles inserted a printed apology in the Times, and paid him five hundred pounds compensation for damage to character.

But the expression on the face was even stranger than the sudden apparition. It was an expression of keen and poignant disappointment as of a man whom fate has baulked of some well-planned end, his due by right, which mere chance has evaded. "They say there's a white man at the bottom of all this trouble," our host had been remarking, one second earlier.
The vigilant Federal officials have fathomed the design. Some one has babbled. Too much talk, or too much whiskey. Neatly conceived, well-planned, and all but executed, it was a bold idea.
