On the left o f the rebel position Hooker Sumner and Franklin have crossed Antietam Creek and have driven the enemy from the ground they chose to cover their flanks in front o f our batteries and troops have steadily advanced and occupy to night a Range o f Hills considerably beyond those first taken. On the rebel right they have lost the Bridge Over the e Creek which w As carried after a Bard fight and Burnside has crossed with All his forces. T he result o f the Days fight therefore is that the rebels have everywhere lost ground their position is contracted both flanks attacked with Success and their rear and Only line o f Retreat seriously threatened. A after the Brilliant Victory on sunday South Mountain near Middletown Mcclel Lan pushed his army rapidly Forward Send ing cavalry artillery out on the Hagerstown Road Burnside through f o x Gap to the Sharpsburg Road and the rest o f his forces through Boonsboro to Keedysville and thence toward Sharpsburg. On the Crest o f the Hiu this Side o f Sharps Burg the enemy were discovered in great Force. Their troops had been brought Down from Hagen Stern up from harpers ferry it o f the army Lee Jackson held in Virginia and a i h ill and All tie Best generals left Avith them were there and with a of their Best troops. Except occasional artillery contests the armies faced each other in quiet during the rest of monday.

Darkness ended the fight w Ith slight loss to either Side h ook or carry ing an d holding thew Ood from w hich the enemy is fire first came. There were constant alarms during the night the hostile pickets being close to each other a along the line. Early in the even ing the rebels took to fighting among them selves and several heavy volle3--s were delivered there before they discovered their mis a t Daybreak the fight was Rene Ved suddenly and vehemently both sides opening fire to Gether. The number and position o f the rebel batteries the evening before had disclosed that they were in great Force on the right and word had been sent to Mcclellan to and ring the night. D Titt nine in i Vance Sumners corps do ii did not arrive on the Fiel morning. Mcclellan is plan o f Battle was briefly follows Hooker was to Cross the Creel the right As before stated , Franklin and Mansfield to co operate with and sustain the attack. In front the batteries were to push Forward with infantry supports and an Effort to be made to c a n y the Heights on the left. Burnside a is to Cross the Creek by the Bridge and attack the rebel right moving on Sharpsburg also which was in their rear and thus Cut off their Retreat. Pointer and Sykes were held in Reserve. The plan i f Success Ful must result not merely in the defeat but the destruction or surrender of the rebel army. T he ground is Peculiar. The rebel line was formed on a Crescent shaped Ridge which in front slopes Down into an undulating Valley irregularly broken by connecting ranges o f Hills. Behind the Crest the rebel Force Lay in uneven and Strong positions sheltered by ridges and Bills and is Peci Auy Strong on the flanks. Antietam Creek a Stream too deep to be forded except in very few places sweeps by the base of their position and protest it from assault. Mcclellan is forces were first formed in front afterwards thrown to the right and left. There is Little or no ground on our Side equal in height to the rebel position Hooker sustained unpaid do the attack on the rebel left Force nearly four Hovirs. H is line had been formed the night before and fought to Day in the same order. Ticket tvs division was on the left Meades Pennsylva n a reserves in the Center double Days d i vision on the right. These terms Are o f course to be mide stood As referring Only to hookers line not to the whole Field. There w As a riflery a t All Points. Meade gained ground on his first attack. Ricketts also w ent Forward through the Woods in his front and Doubleday w Ith Bis guns held front against a heavy cannonade. M Eade advancing finally m it a heavy body o f fresh troops Thi of n suddenly and vigorously against Bim and was driven Back Over part o f the ground he had just won. Rick etts line was at the same time hard pressed and became deserted.

Mansfield was mortally wounded. Gen. Hartsuff advanced to the Relief o f Meade w Ith the 12th and 13th Massachusetts and another regiment. The Penn Sylvania troops were retiring in haste and some confusion. Hartsuff seized a Bridge in front o f the Field Over which the rebels were pressing and held it in splendid s Tjie for More than half an Hoar against a greatly Superior attack h is men behaved most gallantly standing on this exposed found firing Stead ily an 1 a Havering once. Gen. Harf Suft w As very soon severely wounded. H is troops f Eminem their position and finally by the e precision and rapidity o f their fire compell Fig the enemy to Retreat instantly advanced in Pursuit while they bad been engaged. Hooker ordered up Craw Fords and Gordons brigades to their support Hartsuff retained the Advance and Crawford and Gordon foe owed in support. A rebel Battery on the i by which bad been most annoying by an end lading fire w As about the Sam e Tim e silenced by double Days guns and Jho Oher ordered Bri whole Hue feb rata t he rebels were driven through the com of Field again into the Woods beyond whore they could not easily be dislodged with out artillery. Gen. Hooker who All the morning had kept him self under and generally in the Liot tast o f it Iode Forward to examine the ground in front in order to Plant a Battery. A s he Rode up the Hill he became a con spirit Ous Mark for the rebel sharpshooters 5 their fire increased very suddenly and Gen. Hooker was w funded in the left foot a Ball passing entirely through it. The wound avas excessively severe and painful and he Wais compelled to leave the Field. Three men Weiye shot Down by his Side at the same moment he w As w funded. Up to this time the attack has been a Suc Cess. The hardest fought ground w As in the undisputed Possession o f hookers troops and the last order As he was borne from the Field w As that Crawford is and Gordons should immediately Advance and Cairy the Woods to the High t the w Hole line had gone Forward w Ith the wildest cheering and everything looked like a Complete and speedy Success. A t this fortunate moment Gen. Sumner arrived of the Field at the head of his Veteran clips. Pursuing the convard move m ent he led his men immediately against the rebel line and to the support o f Crawford. Sedge Wicks division the Flower o f the Penin Sula army advanced on the right. Richard son and i Ench at a considerable interval on the left. T he first Volley from Sedge Wicks troops was tremendous but it avas Vansav ered by a heavier one. Craawford had found the rebels in great Force and Sedge Wicks flank also became exposed on the left in consequence of the Dis Tance Between him and the o ther divisions. The rebels perceived their advantages and at the same time pressing Crawford and attacking on Sedge Wicks flank broke Croaa Fords line Avrich fell Back in confusion on sed Gavick. The 34th new York on the left Avert forced to give away at the same time and the Woods a Ere yielded to the enemy. Gen. Sed Gavick avas severely around eco in the shoulder leg and wrist hut refused to Leav c the Field till his division retired. Gen. Havard then took command and ordered the division in the rear.

In evidence of like ours was certainly creditable to its com Man div especially considering the pc Light a Lille it was being consummated.

Sykes division regulars in support o f three batteries Avrich silenced the rebels at this Point and relieved Gen. Sumners corps from a fim from Avrich they Avold a e otherwise been compelled to jail Back. Some o f the most desperate fighting Ever recorded in history took place on this Field. In passing Over the ground to Day the Evi Dence a As Manifest where the deadly contests occurred the dead and dying lying thick in roads a Here they had fallen. On the enemy so Center three lines o f Battle had been formed from a Point a est o f the Hagerstown Turnpike the Road Andt several Fields near to the Boonsboro turn Pike about half a mile and these lines a Ere almost As distinct As when the living masses still formed them the dead lying so close As to be nearly within reach o f each others hands along the entire distance awhile in Kings and the rebels although maintaining their ground for a time were compelled to give Way their loss being frightfully Large. Dur years brigade Avrich opened this attack lost about half o f its Force but maintained its position until relieved by fresh troops. This brigade lost 432 in killed and wounded out o f 850 Avaio a ent into action. T he ene mys loss in killed at Liis part o f tic Field avas at least to o to our one and Many Avero of the opinion that it Avold a Crage the same Alloa or the Battle Gro Imd. This is accounted for by the fact that our men fire High awhile the rebels seem to he particularly strutted to fire Yoav. C r mass., was killed. Col.

His Gallant Maine and ver m ont troops Avent in at double Quick driving the rebels before them and on the fences and beyond the avoids and again took the Point this time not to be Given up. This was accomplished by 3 Oclock meanwhile the forces in front of4be whole line had been gaining some ground. Hard fighting All along the e line had continued at intervals through the Day. French and Slocum Wei eaves Tavard the Center. I t was time to hear from Burnside who had been Long delayed in his Effort to carry the Bridge. A t 4 Oclock Mcclellan sent orders to Burnside to Cross a t once a t All hazards and capture or silence the Battery in front. The Bridge avas captured in Gallant style but Avith loss o f col. Kingsbury and 500 killed and abounded. Burnside Ashen once across advanced on the rebel right along the Sharps Burg Road and up the slopes o f the Hill. A position o f great importance was carried at first by his impetuous attack but avas after Ward abandoned As the rebels acre Able to bring ten heavy masses o f troops from the Center and left h oppose Burnside. Our attack on the left having ceased for the time Sumner and Franlklin were ordered by Mcclellan to hold their own and the and Vance o f Burnside was relied on to decide the the Day. Darkness was near before be avas Over the Creek and the forces against him too Strong for his number. H a therefore avas obliged to Content himself w Ith defend ing the Bridge and his position beyond and the final attack avas postponed till to Morrow. T he fire on both sides died away gradually and at 7 o clock the Battle was Over for the Day. Its result i have stated above. I t w As everywhere very desperately contested and the logs on both sides is very Large. Ten generals on our Side Are killed and wounded. Battlefield of Antietam sept. 20. Yesterday our hues advanced towards the enemy when the discovery was Matle that the whole had retreated during the night leaving their pickets along the entire line so As to prevent us gaining a knowledge of their movements. Those left behind Generady surrendered As soon As appeared. I t seems that rebel reinforcements were expected on Friday but they did not arrive and consequently it avas decided to Cross the River As they were in no condition for such a Battle As that o f the 17 the. So they began leaving at dark thursday Naglit and the rear o f the line passed through Sharpsburg just before Daylight yesterday.
