FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC'.
['Special coneeponderioe of The Prom]
Much to the grief of the army, the enemylaye re
crossed the Potomac, and for, perhaps, the twelfth time,
cajoled ns with the pretence of burying their dead, while
carrying out their plans of escape. General Lee sent a
flag of truce, on Thursday, to General McClellan, de
manding a cessation of hostilities for six haus for that
purpose. it was granted, and, at the expiration of that
period, an additional els boars was demanded, trader
pretence or needing more time for the weak. This was
also acceded to, and the result was that not a dead rebel
was buried, and that, at 3 P. 111,.tleneral Burnside, who
w a s on the left of oar army, and nearest the river, heard
that the enemy had commenced crossing. We at once
attacked then, and seized the Antietam ford, which it
Was necessary to arras before rekching the Potomac
Yesterday morning a pursuit commenced from our whole
line, and, after considerable skirmishing with the fear
guard, and the taking of tome pritioners, we entered
Sharpsburg in the afternoon, the enemy having left by 1
o'clock in this morning.-
,
It may be conshlered extraordinary that, with past
experience of the use made' "by the rebels 'of
truces, their' demand" - hsve been com
plied with ; but the reason given is reported to be that
sufficient reinforcements had not arrived to carry, out
'General MoOlollan`a plane, nor had ammunition arrived
in suitable Quantity. A day's delay would furnish these,
rind the attack was postponed with the greater wllling
nese, as a reconnoi.eance of ihe rebel.positiona had given
season to suppose that they were' determined to continue
fighting. The illluck of General McClellan has been
great. Probably ten thousand young men, in the full
tide of life, were killed on Wednesday, or horribly
'mangled; and no satisfaCtion gained beyond having pos
sibly slaughtered or woundsd a _greater number of the
enemy. We are ationt as nearthe end otthe wari-aa -bo
fora. ..Lee - stalerTiritife town yesterday that he would
fight till his last man was'slain. A loss of fifteen thee
sand rebels is serious, but theiwarmy is still colossal.
Gem McClellan did not think fit to purane the rebels
scum the river yesterday, hat it Is said this morning his
section of the army will depart towards Williamepoit,
crossing at intennediate points, while that of Burnside
will leave for Itarper'S Ferry. Glen. MoOtellan will
doubtless continue on to Martinsburg, and distribute his
forces in such a way OM to guard the Pan handle, while
Burnside may perhaps proceed to attack Winchester,
whither the rebels will probably flee.
— Skirmishing by
artillery ban already taken place thismorning, each
pertiy firing from oppostto sides of the river."
It may not to knowu that Gen. hic(lloratt malty
travels at present in a vehicle with four horses, precisely.
as did Gen. Fremont in Missouri. - This has been made a
handle for much pelitical 'abuse of thelatter, who has
been foolishly charged with an affectation of ariatOoratic
State The habit is ntcessary at times. la Is carriage
With FIN. 'Beats a number of staff officers can be accom
modated, and consultatione can thus be had with greater
facility than on horeeback.
The rebel Clem rale Stark and Loring were killed in the
battle of Wednesday last. The report of Jack - eon's
death is contradicted. The field of that battle revealed a
molt revolting eight yesterday, malty of the deal being
yet unburied, though our men ?ere still engaged in.that
work, end bad been the allele of the day before. / never
reed a description of a' battle-fteld which realized foots.
Though but two days dead, the faces of a large majority
were perfectly . hlack, ;swelled to double their usual size,
and, with thick noses, resentful the appearance of ne
groes of tho extreme typo. The blackened, swollen, and
ported lips were filled with an inky liquid, front which
flies were feeding, while yellow eye-balls, forced from
sockets, resented pupils from which even vacancy had
long passed away. This aspect was remarked in all men
of a robust appearance, and was conhined to the head,
.the rest of the body preserving a pallid hue.. The cause .
of this it that the head, containing propertlonately.more
blood then the rest' of the human frame, decomputed
More rarely. Men suddenly dying, in the full tide of
health and vigor, change much soone than those
exhausted upon a sick bed, and was noticeable
that those corpses on the field thaeltire'of spare forms
• still maintained their former color." This Was. much
the rase with reeds trout the agne-aftlicted, backward'
' regiots of the South, who are proverbially lean and
link. The blackened egret which I speak of -wag

A PROCLAmATION WANTXD
e .
Nay the - Thslon neon become censolldeted,' and may
cainege cease! It is argued by many, that,. as tong
be Southern men have slaves to work for thorn, they
will continuo to fight, and the South, it 'subdued, could
not be held by lees than a million of men. It Is also as
serted, that If a proclamation of tualversed freedom
were issued by the Frepident, it would pass from the
month of one negro to the other, until, in lees - than
tao inorthe, every slave In the Sante hoard of it. They
would then either leave their plantations and hire them
selves elsewhere in the South, or Insist on being paid
- wages by those whom their masters may have left in
Charge of them. This would necessitate a returaofimany
rebels to their homes, to provide for the support of their
fsmilies, and the oot:federate army would become demo
ralized. It would be useless for the Jell:- Davis Go
vernment to resist; the pressure for leave of absence
would be great, especially among officers, and their
departure would be inevitable. It is insisted by

The people of this village have suffered much by the
visit of the rebels. Several of the houses were burned by
exploelons of shell, during the battle, and ma - ay have
been damaged. Feeling, perhaps, that Maryland was a
Union State, they no longer sought to conoiliate her, and
ransacked houses, killed cattle, and pillaged fields Mad
gardens, without compunction. tinier' ae has been the
prevailing sentiment of the inhabitants of Sharpeburg,
their loyalty has been Increased, and their hatred to the
rebels intensified. Lee, their general, Was several times
applied to for a guard over property, but invariably gave
a curt, "I can't attend to you at present," or "I den do
nothir g for you," in reply. The village is of considera
ble size, and has twelve hundred inhabitants.
A molt wanton' case of cruelty occurred here last eve
ning) on the entrance of the army. I found an infantry
soldier sitting on the sidewalk, in severe pain, with a sa
bre gash upon his forehead. He was about to eat an
apple in the street, when a thirsty artillery officer, of the
regular army, passed by, on horseback, with his battery.
4.6 Give me that apple," peremptorily demanded the om
cer. Tho soldier thought he was, perhaps, joking, and,
with a smile, refrained from complying. 1 , I'll teach you
to disobey orders," said the officer, and, drawing his
sword, at once struck him, and continued on. The sol
dier, stunned, did not inquire the number of the battery,
or the name of his injurer. Had I learned the name of
the rascal I would have exposed him. Whether he was
a West Point graduate, or some inflated pap, recently ap
pointed, I cannot toll. N.

"MY MARYLAND" FARR OF 'REBELS.
At last, Maryland, which was claimed by the rebels of
baying such empathy for their cause; is free from the
presence and pollution of the hordes of traitors. They
have be on bitterly disappointed in their expeotatbees 'in
this State, and, before they left it, they endeavored to
take ample revenge. Maryland, which, by both their
orators and poets, was trumpeted to the sky as almost
universally sympathizing with them, and wee under the
bed of ,4 a most odious despotism," has thrown ,the
lie back in their faces, and made all their former pro
teotations falsehoods.
WHAT WERE TUE REBEL PLANE
If we can believe their officers, loldlers, and news
papers, the rebel army contemplated that their ',Stooge
through Maryland would occasion an immense uprising
of the Seceseionlets of the State, and thereby swell their
army to such an extent that they could, with perfect
impunity, seize all the communications between Wash
ington and the North, and then march into Pennsylva
nia, plundering and destroying wherever they could.
That this was their plan the re le not the least doubt, and
that it has been fruetrated II a matter of thanksgiving to
those who have, by their willing hearts and strong arms,
prevented it from being.carrled out. „That _it was Itot
carried out was no fault of the rebels, for they left no
stone unturned to accomplish their ends and further
their belie designs. The recogtion they met with in Ma
ryland, within-only a distant° of twenty-flve miles of the
Potomac., dampened their ardor, and they soon found oat
that they bad made a great mistake, and if, they wore
not very prudent, a very fatal one. .
My. then thought that they would endeavOr.to stay
in the State as long as they could gather, all the (Cod and.
clothing they wanted, and send it into Virginia.. But at
the near approach of Megielisn's army, they thought it,
was about time to leave, and they did so, but o n the atilt
nearer approach of the Unld'n ranks, determined to •
give battle. They therefore concluded to do so, and
accordingly chose a strong natural position at South
Mountain, about twelve milesfrom Frederick. This Was
acknowledged on all sides to bave been'the strongest
position that has been taxon by the rebels shine the' war
began, end the only excite° I haveyet seen the'rebele
give for being driien from it wee'on account of their not
haying enough troops to defend it. :Fria this, they re.

"OE ienn.BLS CROSS - THE POTOMAC.
About-9, o'clock on Thursday evening the first Ind
'nation the people of this place had that the rebels were
retreating was the moving cf large bodies of infantry.,
cavalry, and artillery towards Blisekivood's ford, bctween
three and.four miles from herii. The'rebel reserve Were
the first to move, and then those in front were drawn in
gradually, with as little noise as possible. The principal
street cf Sharpsburg was comPletely crowded with the
retreating rebels, they marching through it in two
colninne,the infantry on one side and the artillery on the
other. <The wagons had all been removed, across during
the time the battle was raging on Wedneiday. As the
troops wee marching through they preserved the strict
est silence, and'iniiichedin tinick time. They all crossed
at Blackwood's ford, the rest of the fords having all been
reined bakonx• forces.
Jacksefiiii corps was the last to cross, which they did
just as truing was dawning. SeVeral squadrons of
cavalry ere left behind; and they' left just fifteen
minutes before our forces entered the town. As soon as
it was lawn that the rebels had retreated, a strong body
'of cavairlae- and artillery were sent after them, wIM
caught yui,with their rear guard a short distance from
gown., AMC% as the rebels saw them, they placed their
batterien and commenced - shelling our advance, which,
beweverolid no damage. The last of the rebels, crossed •
• about Übe o'clock;and as soon as our advittice appeared
on the bilks of the .river, thi'y commenced ithelling us
with the batteries they had planted on the Ohore. They,

sented a neatand thrifty appearance, but on entering it
we found it Was smite the reverse. Scarcely a house but
bad been la some manner partly demoliahed by abet or
shell, and a number of others and barns were burned to
the glound. During the whole of the battle on Wednes
day the town was in direct range of our fire, and it Was
the recipient of many of our deadly missiles.
As soon as our troops bad entered, the people came
out of their Mimes and cellars, like rats out of "a hole.
They Presented the most sorry eight imaginable. At the
commencement of the fight on Wednesday, those who
could not get into their friends' two or three miles ant of
town, hid themselves in their cellars, ,and continued
there -mini our troops came: into the place. Persoes,
as they came from the' cellar, were really surprised
to look at, the altered condition of tho houses. Oftert,
"limes most of their roofs were knocked in, and Z saw
several whose gables had been conspietely demolished.

Another shell entered a one-story, rough-plastared
house, and exploding, killed one rebel in the kitchen and
another who was in the act of walking out of the door.
Several other houses were more or less damaged, and se

house, barn, Jcc., Or Mr. Mona. The fine stables and

THE UNION PEELING
Why tl e rebels behaved more savagely here than in
other portions of Maryland is inexplicable, unless it was
because they had been deceived in the people, and that
they had become so enraged that they wore determined
to have at least some revenge before leaving the State.
Their conduct not only made the Union people ten times
more bitter against them, but has also made the Seces
sion sympathizers disgusted with them, and . shown to
these same eympaibiiers the error they were in in de
fending sucha canes and the class of people who sus
tain it.
WHAT THE REBELS SAID OP THE BATTLE
Many of the iebel offloers, while in town, boasted in
baying whipped r our army in Wedn'esday's battle, but
admitted that Alieir loss was immense ; while others were
'very reticent, signifying that they had got the worst in
the fight. Their loissiu officers was particularly heavy,
'buttbey wonld not tell any particular& Gen. Stark, of
Telae, and Gen. Branch, of. North Ostolina, and for•
mercy a reprelentative In the National Honie of Beers
eentetivee for that Slate, were killed; also, Borne other
general, ahose name I could not learn. General Robert
Toombs bad his [horse shot under him; but he other_
Vise escaped. A . I ergo number of colonels and ether field
officers were also billed, but whets° names I con!d not
learn.
WHERE HAVE THB HBRELS GONE?
This is a question now everywhere asked, but few can
answer it. That, they will not remain along the Hoe of
the Virginia side of the Potomac, from Harpies Ferry
to oppoaito Williamsport; to go along the line of the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad ' to Hancock, and thonce cross
into Pennsylvania, would be mere folly, after their expo
rience in Maryland; therefore, their only line of retreat
is to Winchester, and thence down through the Shenan
doah Valley to Staunton, nukes the klanassaa Gap Rail
road, which runs to Strasburg, is in operation.
In that case, they can take the cars and come back
again to Manama, or else when. reaching Winchester,
their.can turn eastwardly and • come through Shnisker's
and Ashby's Gap„theur threatening Washington by way
of the Leesburg and Fairfax pikes. .• Bat it is probable
tbatthey wilt make a stand et Winchester, and that the
next grand battle of the campaign will be fought at that
place, and that the.rebels will occupy the very entrench.

ever, no matter which way - they go, they will, I hope,

One shot only was returned by' them. Alter ten rounds,
beautifully;directed, the enemy left in great haste. We
were expecting an attack this morning; but the arrival

Gen. McClellan and staff were at Williamsport, actively
engaged in eoperintonding the crossing of the troops to
the "sacred soil."
An impression prevailed in the army that General
Heintzelman and General Sigel were now inTirginia, and
that their mission was to step the rebel retreat
tin Saturday evening, one piece of Captain X Spencer
Miller's Philadelphia Home Guard. Battery was planted
two miles from Williamsport, and was well served. It
drew the rebel fire from the other side of the Potomac
for Rine time.
Nobody was hurt on our side at this time.
The Philadelphia Blue Booms, under Colonel Day,
were posted in line of battle on the left of Gem Henley's
brigade at this time, but were not repaired to fire.

TUE POTOMAC
SHAIRP6IninG, September 21, 1862 —The rebels, in con
siderable force, crossed the Potomac last evening at
Williamsport. All last night cavalry, infantry, and
artillery were dashing throngh this 'Masts, in the direc
tion of Williamsport, in order to check the enemy's en
trance into Maryland the second time. The promptness,
to-the
meneced point compelled Jackism to make a hasty re
treat to the sacred soil of Virginia. General Conch's
division now lies close to the corps of Franklin and Dun

force,' in addition to the 80,000 Pennsylvania troops

Cox, Wilcox, Redman, and Bthrgee, lies about midway
between nbarpsbarg and Harper's Ferry- From pre

ANOTHRIt ACOOU
Ane' 06 THY POTOMAC, 811ARPSIIIIRO, Md., Sept. 21.
Maryland has again been invaded • by the rebels, but
only for a abort time. Stuart's cavalry and the Hamp
ton Legion, with one regiment of infantry and seventeen
pieces of artillery, crossed the Potomac night before last
at Williamsport, and occupied the town. Their pickets
were thrown out two miles on the different roads leading
into Maryland to guard against surprise As soon as it
became known that the enemy were again in Maryland,
Con. Couch's division was sent in the, direction of
Wii
liamapoit. He arrived within two miles of the town about
dark last evening When-3h° osemy ascertained that
our forces were near at hand, they opened a terrible
Cannonade, throwing their shot in all directions. Mean
while. they drew in their pickets, and safely recrossed
into Virginia.
This morning the rebels bad entirely disappeared from
the opposite shore. Their guns, which have been threat
ening the town for eome days, had all disappeared. The
rebel troops committed no improprieties while they oc
cupied the town, except forcing the citizens to open their
stores and sell their goods for Confederate money This
morning the town was occupied by a force of our cavalry.
THE DISASTER TO THE CORN EXCHANGE
REGINEN r.
LESS THAN TWO COMPANIES LEFT.
, The anxiety to hear something definite as to the fate of
the Corn Exchange Regiment, which left Philadelphia
less than a mouth since, 1040 strong, ia moat intense. We
hope that the following account of their lose may prove
exaggerated. It is from the correspondence of the New
York Tribune, dated Sbarpatown, dept. 20:
Last evening a regiment from Moreli's division won the
applause of the whole army in capturing a rebel battery.
This morning a brigade from the same division, not ob
serving the presence of the enemy on the opposite side,
advanced to the river and crossed, meeting no resistance
but the depth of water, which all overcame by wading or
swimming. '
The 118th Pennsylvania and the 18th Massachusetts
bad no sooner crossed and advanced up the bluff about
fifty rode than they suddenly disoovered that they were
hemmed In on three sides by overwhelming masses of
Infantry, who immediately opened a most terrible fire of
musketry from every part of their line. General Barnes,
who commanded the brigade, instantly ordered his men
to fall back and recroas the river. A scene of the wildest
confusion and most terrible slaughter then occurred.
The rebels pressed them closely, and' shot our men down
by hundreds as they attempted to ford the river. Great
numbera of the wounded could not contend with the
rapid current, and were almost instantly drowned. The
rebels kept up their fire while they were In the water,
and all who did not escape were shot down without
The 118th Pennsylvania pass.id over the river 1,040
strong 1 have just teen all there le left of this splendid
regiment, which left the Old Keystone State but a few
weeks since Portions of two cqmpanies are all that re.
main of the fine men who crossed the river this morning.
All the rest are killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. Only
30 of the wounded succeeded iu necking this aide. The
enemy, however, suffered terribly while springing soother
Ball's Bluff trap upon us. The moment the New York
and Ohio Batteries, planted upon the hil's on this side,
discovered the enemy in each great force, they opened a
Ore of shell from every Ann, and kept It up until the
whole rebel line fell back beyond range. The effect
of almost every shell could .be. seen by the naked eye.
Great gaps would be made in their ranks, as the shells
buret or ploughed their way through them. From bushes
and fences would suddenly be seen, great numbers of
rebels, flying in all directions to escape the exploding
shell. A. large brick mansion, standing out bold upon
the cliff, was struck by almost every shot. But, not
withstanding the heavy firing of our artillery, the rebels
succeeded in repulsing our advance today. To-night,
in position, we are exactly where we were last evening,
hut, in numbers, we have lost at least eight hundred
brave men.
INTERESTING FROM NEWBERN.
Battle at Plymouth, N C.
[From the Newel - . • • •
A large body of rebels marched toward Plymouth,
N. C., on the 2d inst., intending to enter the town and
lay it in ashes. A native Carolinian, knowing the in
tention of the rebels, came quickly to town and reported
it to Captain W. H. Hammel, of Hawkins' Zonavee.
No time was to bo lost. To defend the town there wait

APPAIRO AT IifUNPORDVILLR.
[From the Louisville Journal, 19th ]
Couriers from Munfordville reached Elizabethtown OR
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, from wheel
statements the following account of the situation at Zinn
fordville Is gleaned by our reporter, who was at Eliza
bethtown.
The courier who arrived on Tuesday night left Run
fordville about i 2 P. RE , and reached Elizabethtown late
at night. He was a member of the 50111 Indiana, He
stated that Col. Dunham, as the senior officer, had as.
turned command. He immediately corrected thisiand
said that nobody was in command, but that Col. Dna.
hem had invited . Col. Wilder to co-operate with blot he
defending the place. There appears to be no doubt that
CoL Dunham assumed the command on hie arrival. Oot.
Dunham immediately asked for reinforcements, and Col
0 wen's 68th Indiana, two cowl:metes et Cot. Ring's In
diana Infantry, and a battery of artillery were bent.
These reached Munfordville.on 'geodes, having to tight
their way through front Bacon Creek the rebel griminess
under Cot. Morrison hanging upon their rear. There
are reports of a serious want of emmunition. Col. Den=
hain's regiment accreted a large quantity within four
miles, of the fort on Sunday evening, and to this free em
cees could have been had at any time.
The rebels made their appearance in strong ' force on
Tuteday morning about 10 o'clock. Onr_pmv iyn,_
was
at itowietrirtitattony maistance — idratiefit ree-qu
of a mile south of the fort, and beyond the ridge name
Whichthe moil and turnpike roads cross each other. This
picket poet had been strengthened during the morning,
and was in emit rem at the time of the attack as to UK ,
eeetfullY skirmish with the rebel advance for some time.
It was net until the rebels appeared in force on -their -
roaYteisikeezo,g4,,jed on their left, on the dirt
the --oode
ee woods into the fort, and , reported the enemy moving
in force toward Woodaonville and on our left.
The courier who arrived on Wednesday noon at-Clista
bethtewft, left Idunfordville at daylight ot , the same atitr i ,
and reports ae follows : The. rebels made an angsnit
during the day. A battery of rebel artillery, under
cover of the woods, threw a shell occaslonelly. and gave
employment to the gnomon the left of our works ; but no
determined assault, or even mushetfight, was made. The
rebel& contented themeelvos with effecting a landing on
the north bank of the river, and a lodgment for their ar
tillery on the bluffs oVerlooking the fort
When this had been aoceinollahed, and the investment
appeared complete, the- rebels, at five o'clock P. M.,
seat in a flag of traccrand.madaa formal demand for its
surrer.der.Colonels Dunham and Wilder, and Adjutant
John Simplon, of the 50th Indiana, went out to meet the
flag, and listened to the demand. The 'Union officers
then returned and a consultation wet had. What it
amounted to le not known.
At midnight the flag of truce was again met, mid a for.

THB SURRENDBR OR MUNPORDVILLE.
[From the Louisville Journal, 20th.]
The surrender was a matter of absolute necessity, as
the gallant little band of Federal troops, whe had fought
so nobly on Sunday and again on TuoadaY, were aur
.rounded on all bides by en overwhehr•ing force. It will
be remembered that the defences at M.unfordville had
been formed with a view to an attack from the south; but
ete a formidable rebel force medo its appearance on the
north 'side of the river, and as the Federal works were
threatened at a'l 'Lints, to lied out longer would have
been suicidal on the part of the Federal troops.
We forces were surrendered by Col. O. L. Dunham, of
the 601 h Indiana Infantry, who commanded on Monday
mornirg.. The forces aturendered embraced the 17th
Indiana, the 60th Indiana, the 67th Indiana. the 88th
Indiana, the 69th Indiana, all infantry; Captain Rare's
cavalry company of Louisville provost guard, a portion
of the 4th Ohio battery, and one section of the 13th Indi
ana Battery, amounting in all to about four thousand
live hundred Men and ten cannon, Including a 24. pounder.
The rebels fought with great desperation on Sunday,
Colonel Wilder being in command of the Federal force,
on that day. Two regiments of rebels made five different
charges on a Federal battery, and were as often repulsed..
In the last charge the two rebel regiments were almost
annihilated, and our informant says that, of the memberi
of the rebel companies, but three escaped death or. itiurit-
On Tuesday Col. Dunham sent out skirmishers, Who
were soon driven In. As the rebels approached the Fede
rate were ordered to reserve their fire until the enemy
had advanced closely upon our works. Volley after voi
ley of musketry was 'then poured into the rebel infantry"
at short range, which moved down their ranks in great
numbers. During the skirmishing on Tuesday a citizen
named Robert Gelty, who had been impressed by the re
bels as a guide, was killed. Among the rebel officers lost
in the different engagements were throe colonels and two
lieutenant colonels, including a 001. Scott and. a Colonel
Smith. '
