On the day of the battle we were under the command of General Mansfield, whose army corps, the 12th, consisted wf two divisions, command ed respectively by General Williams and General Green. The right of Crawford's brigade was the 12.1th P. V., commanded by the veteran Col. Higgins. The fighting commenced at daylight, Hooker's men in : the advance Mansfield's men supjorting the rebels were gradually forced back un til a point was reached aliout midway be tween our bivouac of the night ijcfore, and the Dunker church on the right of the Smokctown ro'id, and to the right if the big spring on S. lottenlergcr"s farm. Here Hooker's troops were repulsed, having lost terribly in officers aud men and Hooker himself being badly wounded. His men gave way, Mansfield's corps had to re lieve Hooker, and stem the onward rush of the exultant rebels who, with loud yells, were following up their success. Right here in front of a strip of woods in an old field to the right (not to the left) of the Smokctown road, during the deploy ment of Williams' division, our gallant leader, Geueral Mansfield, fell mortally wounded while examining the ground in frout of our regiment and was carried to the rear a short distance by Sergeant John Kohoe and Private Samuel Edmiston, of Company K, After carrying the General a short distance to the rear they were re lieved by men of the 10th Maine, who now claim it was in front of their regiment and to the left of the. Smoketown road where Mansfield was killed, and have at this date a tablet marking the spot. This tablet, however, is a falsehood to the extent of 400 yards at least. After the fall of Mansfield the command of the 12th corps fell to our General Wil liams, who pushed his men rapidly forward until our regiment on the right debouched on the Hagerstown pike, between the Dunker church and the house of D. R. Miller, on the pike. We had by this time driven the Confederates about one mile from the spot where Mansfield fell, and the key to their position on this part of the field was in the woods west of the pike, to the right and rear of Uio Duuker church. Our General determined to make a desper ate effort to carry this jtosition of the ene emy. Our regiment was the one selected to make the charge. We made the charge in the face of a jierfect blizzard of shot. ate shell and musketry. We drove them la k over rocks, stumps of tri"es and ocii ground until we were brought Pi a stand still by a flank tire which raked the entire length of the regiment. No troop could s land long before such a fire, and U-ing without supiiort on our flanks, our Colonel gave the order to fall bark. Just as we wen- reerossing the pike, S-dgwicks troops of Sumner's corsnme up and relieved us. Had those troops come on the grounds twenty minuP's sooner we could aud would have hehl the xisjiim we had just gained. As it was. we had cuci rated fm ther into the Confederate lines on this part of the field than any other Union troops did that day. Other troops tried the task afterwards but ncvei siice-eid in getting across tin- pike. Our loss here w as fright ful .h killed and 17 wounded, or 232 out of a Mssible 7Kl. But show ingw hat kind of pluck there was in those young fellows, they wheeled into line with Sedgwick's troojis aud were ready in ten minutes to renew the deadly work again. The fight ragi-d here with varied success for attout two bonis, and the the lo-s on tioth sides w as aw ful. Bloody lane presented a ghastly sight, as did also the ground around Ituiuside's bridge, but no whereon Antietam field did the dead and dying lay so thick as around the little Ilunker church. On this part of the field fell the I'uion Generals Mansfield, Hooker. Uichardsoii. Craw ford and Ilart suff, as did also the Confederate Generals Stark. Pains, Douglass, Itcrksdale and Law ton. Night 'Ios4-d the fearful slaughtei aud endi-d the bloodiest one day's battle of the w ar. fin Thursday evening we visited the National cemetery where 4, nut I'nion sol diers lie buried. This is a lovely Sot on the top of a knoll, overlooking almir-t the w hole of tlie battle field. The Government has expended HOO.uoo in beautifying this cemetery, and I ix-lieye there is not on this earth a more lcautiful one. It is pitiable P note that the ages marked upon fully one-third of all the head-tones in the cem etery are under 21 years. The oldest one I saw was but 32 years. Well you showi-d the world what loys could do for home and country! May you all rest in icaec Is the fervent prayer of a loving comrade. You died in a noble cause! At 8 o'clock r. m., we held our camp fire in the hall of the Antietam Post G. A. R., which was gener ously turned ever to us by that organiza tion. It was a business meeting. Our vet eran Col. Higgins w as the presiding ofticer, and t-how-ed that he was well versed in par llainentary rules as w ell as In military tac tics. SiH-ches were made by Messrs. Mc Camaiit. Wallace, Simpsou, Davison. Hicks and others. While Hicks' tipeech did not come up to the one he delivered here three years ago. it was a business one, straight forward an1 easily understood. Quite a delegation of Iadi-s were present at the reuniwn, accompanied by their hus bands, fathers and brothers, and appeared to be as deeply interested In view ing the scenes upon the battle field and places as wer the veterans themselves. Among the ladies prescut I noticed the estimable wife of Col. Higgins, Mrs. Hicks. Mrs. Irving, Mrs. Strong and others w hose names I am sorry I do not remember. It may le inter esting to the lady readers of this sketch to know that Mrs. J. I). Hick-!, of Altoona, was pronounced the finest looking lady present. After visiting Kecdvshorn. Itoore. boro aud Smoketown, in Maryland: Itol ivartown and Heights, in Virginia, and the noted places around, as Point of Rocks, John Brown's fort, the old stone Cathwiic church up on the heights, said to lie eighty years old, the remain? of ihe old arsenal at the ferry, etc., we took the train north at Harper's Ferry at 5:.T0 t m., September l'.ith, and started for home down the Cum licrland Valley, arriving at Harrisburg at 3 o'chxfc, A.
