Fdgiment, died at Carver Hospital, Wash ington City, last week. lie leaves a wile and child to deplore his loss. We publish below an extract from a letter of a young "typo" of this place, in which he gives ft graphic description ot the part taken by the regiment in which he is serving in the battle of Antictam : Cam', NKi h Su AKpsburg, Md., 1 Oct. 6, 1802. | We are still in camp by that beautiful and winding stream —the Potomac. While in camp we are at a loss to know how to put in the time, and for a change this beautiful af ternoon I have retreated to the cover of a towering oak to pen you a few promised lines. My narrative begins on Tuesday morning, September lGth. On that eventful evening we were marched across Antietam creek, and shortly after were formed in line of battle in a woods, and while in this place were made acquainted of the close proximity of our South Mountain acquaintances, who had been Hrgely reinforced just a)ter leaving t!;e nioun tain, and who no. disputed our further ad vance by shelling us in the woods. It was fast growing dark, and we were or dered forward through n cornfield and also through a ploughed one. But, after going half the distance, were ordered to halt and lay d >wn, which order we obeyed instantly, fts the shell began to come in close proximity with that important member to human exis tence—the head While here I had a good opportunity to see a pretty sight. One of our batteri-s. which had been placed 'n our right, on a slight elevation, kept up a continual tire, throwing shell promiscuously through the Woods in our advance. It was far prettier than any fireworks ever displayed in the old Diamond. We remained hereabout half an hour when Gen. Seymour ordered us forward We started, and when we next halted it was within fifteen feet of the fence. Our Colonel h ;re ordered us to halt and stack arms, which we did; and after making suppar on a crack er I laid myself down to rest. In about fif teen minutes we were surprised by the rebels who poured a volley at us, which, as soon as we could recover our guns, we returned and qp a $ re for a short time and then ceas*d, the rehs having retreated. We then advanced to the fence (where we should have been at first) and lay down once more, not for sleep however, but to watch and wait. ITothing of importance occurred other than an occasional shot or two during the night. From prison ers captured the following day we learned they had a brigade in the woods, who heard our Cidonel give the command to " stack arms," and only waited a sufficient length of time fcr us to h.e jn the '* land of nod," when they expected to capture our guns. The pris oners expressed some surprise when they learned we had but one regiment, and it only numbering about 300 guns. That night they did pot touch a man ; but our fire was fardif ferent. Our General, speaking of it, says they lay there by dozens. About 4 o'clock in the morning we heard the rebel drums beating and every man was then ready. Before long they began ; first a crack, then two or three, and then a whole volley from U9 through the woods, and the great ball of Wednesday opened. The sharpshooters, who had been placed on the trees in the dark, began their work early. They tried hard to pick off our Major, but were unsuccessful. One ball grazed his shoulder strap. They wounded our Orderly Sergeant in the head, however, who has since died. On the Friday following he lost his mind and speech, and remained so until Sat urday night, when he was relieved from this world of misery and strife. His remains were {ent home to his friends. We lose a good And brave soldier in him. About 7 o'clock our regiment was ordered to cross through the woods, and there, the boys say, lay pools of blood all round. I was there when they advanced. A few moments before our Major had sent me with a mes sage to General Seymour, and when I endea vored to return I became bewildered and came to a halt in a large field for which the (two contending parties were fighting. J soon pame to the conclusion I had no business there, and accordingly sought the protection of the woods, and here I met my regiment as it advanced to where I was. We stood fil ing across this field about an hour, when we were ordered to cease by our officers and stood there doing nothing. It was here Henry Conch fell pieroed through the forehad. We fell back, and the rebels, thinking we were whipped, advanced with a cheer, hut were driven back by a flank movement. You would be surprised to hear them cheer. It resembles a lot of school girls at recess. It is far different from the manly voice of tho men of the north. J. 11. E. Co. G, sth Pa.
