vancing, Anally met with a heavy body of fresh troops thrown suddenly and vigorously against him, and was driven back over part of the ground he hud just won. Riokctts' line was at the same time hard pressed, and became deser ted. Mansfield, who had come over the creek the night bafore, was ordered into the woods, to Uicketts' support, and Hartsuff's brigade, part of Doubleday's command, was sent to sus tain Meade. Mansfield took the greatest part of his troops to Rickctls' help, but tliey were unable to extend their line, and in the effort to push forward his men, General Mansfield was ■mortally wounded. General Hartsuff advan ced to the relief of Meade, with the 12th and 13th Massachusetts, aiul another regiment.— The Pennsylvania troops were retiring in haste 'and some confusion. Hartsuff seized a brigade 1n front of the field, over which the rebels were pressing, and held it in splendid style for more ■than an hour, against a greatly superior attack, iiis men behnved most gallantly, standing on this exposed ground, firing steadily, and never wavering once. Gen. Hartsuff was vbry soon severely woun ded. His troops retained their position, and finally, by the precision and rapidity of their •fire, compelling the enemy to retreat instantly, advanced in pursuit, whilo they had been en gaged. Hooker ordered up Crawford's and Gordon's brigades to their support. Ilartsufl retained the advaneo, and Crawford and Gor don followed in support. A rebel battery on the right, which had been most annoying by an enfilading fire, was about the same time silenced by Doubleday's gun, and Hooker ordered bis whole line forward. The rebels were driven through the corn-fie'nl again into the woods beyond, where they could not easily be dislodged without artillery. Gen. Hooker, who all the morning had kept himself under the fire, and generally in the hottest of it, rode forward to examine the ground in front, in order to plant a battery. As ho rode tip the ihill he became a conspicuous mark for the rebel sharpshooters; their fire increased very sudden ly, and General Hooker was wounded in the left foot, a bullet passing entirely through it. The wound was excessively severe and painful, nnd he was compelled to leave the field. Three men were shot down by his side at the same mo ment be was wounded. Crawford had found the rebels in great force in the woods, and was already in need of assis tance. Sedgwick's flank also became exposed ■on the left in consequence of the distance be tween him and the other divisions- The rebels perceived their' advantages, and at the same time pressing Crawford and attacking on Sedg wick's, broke Crawford's line, which fell back in confusion on Sedgwick. The 34th New York, on the left, was forced to give way at the same time, and the woods were yielded to the enemy. Gen. Sedgwick was severely wounded in the. shoulder, leg, and wrist, hut refused to leave the field till his division retired. Gen. Howard then took command, and ordered the division in the rear. Major Sedgwick, aid of General Sedgwick, was shot through the body, but is not mortally wounded. Matty of the rcgimncts suffered most severely. The loth Massachu setts lost nine out of seventeen officers. Col. Hinks, of the 19th Massachusetts, was killed. Col. Wistar, Ist California, was severely woun ded. The 34th New York could gather but thirty-four tnen when rallied. French and llichardson meantime held a po sition well to the left and less in advance, and kept it. Gen. Richardson, nof long after, was severely wounded in the shoulder, while lending u bolting regiment. Gen. Dana, of Sedgwick's division, was wounded, but not severely. Gen. Sumner found himself obliged, by this reverse, to withdraw his lines to thoir first position, where he held them firmly. He had been exposed during all the action to the hottest of the fire. Col. Revere, of his staff, was wounded in the Arm; Capt. Audenricd in tholog. Meanwhile the forces in front of the whole line had been gaining some ground. I lard fight ing all along the line has continued at intervals through the day. French and Slocnm were well toward the centre. It was time to hear from Burnside, who had been long delayed in his effort to carry the bridge. At four o'clock McClellnn sent orders to Buritside to cross at once, at all hazards, and capture or silence the battery in front. The bridge was captured in grand style, hut with the loss of Col. Kingsbury and dOO killed and wounded. Burnside, when once across, advanced on the rebel right, along the Sharpsburg road and up the slopes of the hill. A position of great importance was carried at first by his int v petuous attack, but was afterward abandoned, as the rebels were able to bring ten heavy mas ses of troops from the centre and left to oppose Burnside. Our attack on the left having ceased for the time, Sumner and Franklin were ordered by MeClellan to hold their own, and the advance of Burnside was relied on to decide the day. Darkness was near before be was over thecreck, and the forces against him too strong for his numbers. 1-le, therefore, was obliged to con tent himself with defending the biidgc and his position beyond, and the final attack was post poned till to morrow. The fire oa both sides died away gradually, and at seven o'clock the battle was over for the day. Its results I have Stated above. It was everywhere very desper ately contested, and the loss on both sides is very large. Ten generals on our side arc killed and wounded.—A 7 . Y. Tribune. TEACHERS WANTED.
