flkoperat, effort on the talzeipe left, and here again wail a
repetition of the scenes I More . described. Fora time
they flar.ked as, and our men retired -slowly, fighting
over every inch of ground. It was a trying hoar. The
Pederiiie saw their advantage; and premed it with vigor.

that had so stubbornly forced their way to the pindtion.
On which we originally commenced the battle:- Halt an
hour later and the enemy were retreating. At one point
tee pursued for nearly a mile, and het night a portion of
our troops on the left slept on Yankee ground. The sue
ceee, though not decisive as compared with our usual re
sults, wee complete as it was puesible to make it, in view
of the peculiar circumstances of the battle, and the to.
Dography of the country.. Certain it is. that after the
cessation of the fight, at 10)( o'clock, the Yankeesdid not
renew it again et this point during the day. They had
been defeated, and all they could do thereafter was to
prevent us from repeating in turn the experiment which
they bad - entempted, on our line. It was, beyond all
übt, the most hotly contested field on which a battle has
taken place during the war. -
THE FIGHT lIPON THE CEICTRE.
Boon after the cessation of the tight on the left, the
enemy made a strong demonstration upon our centre, in
front of the dleielon of Gtnerid D. H. Hill Here, for a
*ldle; the contest wee carried on mainly by artillery,
with. hich both the enemy and ouraelvea ware abundant-
ly supplied. The only difference between the two, if any
at el, was in tho superiority of their metal and positions,
and in our part the lack of sufficient ammunition. Bat
tery after battery was eent to the rear exhausted, and
our ordnance wagons until late in the day,'were on .the
opposite side of the Potomac, blocked cm by the long
commissary trains, which . . had - been ordered forward
from Martinsburg and Bhepherdistown to relieve the ne
cessities of the army.
As indicated in the former part of this letter, our artil
lery was posted on the summits of the line of hills which
ran from right to left in front of the town. Thatof the
enemy, with one exception, was on. the rising gfound at
the base of. the Blue Bidge, and upon the various emi
nences this side. A single Federal battery was boldly
thrown over the Stone Bridge on the turnpike, nine hun
dred or a- thousand yards in our front, and held its posi
tion until disabled, with - a hardihood worthy of a better
Cause. I cannot now nuns all the positions of the differ.
ent batteries—only those ,which I sew. Altogether, we.
may have had' playing 'at this time' one hundred guns.
!Ile enemy having at least an equal number, you may
imagine what a horrid concert filled the air, and how un
remitting was the bail of heavy balls and shells, now
tearing their way through the trees, now bursting and
throwing their murderous fragments on every side, and
again burying themselves amid a cloud of duet in the
eartb, - alwaye where they were least expected.
This exchange of iron compliments had been kept up
from early morning, but - at 11 o'clock the fire began to
- concentrate end. increase in severity.. Columns of the
enemy could be 'distinctly seen across the Antietam, on
the open grened beyond, moving as ff in preparation to
advance. • Others were so far in the distance that you
could recognize them as troops only by the sunlight that
gleamed upon their arms; while considerable numbers
were within cannon shot, defiantly flaunting their flagein
our faces. At 12 o'clock the scene' from the apex or the
turnpike was truly magnificent, and the eye embraced a
picture Erich as fella to the lot of few men to Look upon in
this age.
From twenty different stand points great volumes of
.smoke were every instant leaping from the muzzles of
angry guns. The air was filled with the white fantastic
shapes that floated away from bursted shells. Men were
leaping to and fro, loading, firing, and handling the
_nqw_and then a hearty yell would reach
Metier mkt the tumult that spoke of - Aleath or disaster
from some well- aimed - Da11.7 - 15erOre us were entworr'
'A regiment or two had crossed the river, and, running
in squads from tbo woods along its banks, were trying to
form a line. Suddenly a shell fella among them, and
c another and another. until the thousands. scatter like a
swarm of dice, and disappear in the woods. A, second
"time the effort is:'-made, and there a second failure.
Then there is a diversion. The batteries of the Federal,
open afresh; their infantry try another point, end finally
they succeed in effecting a lodgment on this side. Our
troops, under D. H. Hifi, meet them, and a fierce battle
ensure in the eerier.. Backwards, forwards, surging and
swaying like a ship in a storm, the various columns are
seen in motion. It is a hot place for us, but is hotter
still for the enemy. They are directly under our gums,
and we mow them down Übe grass.
The raw levies, sustained by the veterans behind, coma
up to the work well, and fight fir a short time with an
excitement incident to their novel experiences of a battle,
but soon a portion of their line gives way in confusion.
Their reserves come nis,'ated endeavor to retrieve the
fortunes of the day. .Our centre, however, stands as
firm as adamant, and they fall back. Pursuit on our
- part is useless; for, if wef drove the enemy at all on the
other side of the river, it would be against the side of the
mountain, where one , mae, fighting for hie life and
liberty. disciplined or undisciplined, would be equal to a
dc zen: • *
Meanwhile, deadly work has been going on anions our
artillery. hatever they may have made others suffer,
neatly all the companies have suffered severely them",
selves. The great -balls and shells of the enemy have
been .thrown with wonderful accuracy, and dead and
wounded men, horses, and disabled esteems, ate visible
in every battery. The instructions from General Lee
are that there shall be no more artillery duels. Instead,
therefore, of endeavoring to silence the enemy's *gnus,
Colonel Walton directs his artillerysto receive the fire of
their antagonists Quietly. and'delivered their own against
the Federal infantry. The wisdom of the order is appa
rent at every shot, for, with the overwhelming numbers
of the enemy, they might have defeated' us at the outset,
but for the powerful and well directed adioucts we pos.
seesedin our heavy guns.
. Time and , again did the Federate perseveringly press
close up to our ranks, so near, indeed, that their sup
porting batteries were obliged to cease Bring lest they
should kill their- own men, but jest as often were they
&lien back by the combined elements of destruction
Which we bionslit to bear upon them.' It was an hour
when every man was wanted. The eharpihooters of the
enemy were picking off our principal officers continually,
'and especially those who made themselves conspicaons in
the batteries. In this manner the company of Captain
Miller. of the Washington Artillery, was nearly disabled,
only two out of his four guns being fully manned. As
it occupied a position directly under the eye of General
• Longstreet, and he saw the valuable part It was perform
ing in defending. the , centre, that officer dismounted him
self from hilhorse, and, assisted by his adjutant general,
-Majcrl Sorrel; Major Fairfax, and General Drayton,
worked one of the guns until the crisis was passed. To
see a general officer wielding the destinies of a great fight,
with its (fire Ind responsibilities upon his shoulders, per
forming the duty of a common soldier, in the thickest of
the conflict; Is picture worthy of the pencil of an artist.
' The result of this battle, though at one lime doubtful,
was finally decisive. The enemy was driven across the
river with a slaughter that: was terrible. A Federal
officer who was wounded, and afterwards taken prisoner,
observed to one of our officers that he could count almost
the whole of his regiment on the grohnd around him. I
did not
. go over the field, but a gentleman who did, and
who bag been an actor in all our battles, informed roe
that he never, even upon the bloody field of Manliest's,
saw so many dead men before The ground was black
with them, and, according to hie estimate, the Federal/
' had lost eight to'our one. Happily, though our casual
ties are very considerable, most of them are in wounds.
II here now ensued a Silence - of two hours, broken only
by the occastoned discharges of artillery. It was a sort
of breathing time, when the panting combatants, ex
hausted.bythe battle, stood silently eyeing each other,
and making ready—the one to strike, anti the other to
ward off another staggering blow.
THE FIGHT ON THE RIGHT.
It wet DOW libOW 3 o'clock in the afternoon, 'but not
ulthetaiding. the strange lull in the etofM, no one be.
Elated it would not be renewed before night. intelli
gence bad come from the rear that . Gen. A. P. Hill wee
advancing from Harper's Ferry with the force which
Jackson bad left behind, and every eye was turned
anxiously in that direction. In a little while we saw
some cf his troops moving cautiously, under cover of the
woods and hills; to the front, and in an hour more he was
in position on - -the right. Here, about 4 o'clook, the '
enemy bad made another bold ihmonstration. Fifteen
thousand of` their troops in one inaes;had charged our
lines, and after vainly restating them we were slowly
giving beak before superior numbers.
Our total force here was less than six thousand men,
and had it not been for thaadmirably planted artillery,
under command of Major Garnett, nothing. mow the ar
rival of reinforcements, could have prevented an irre
trievable defeat. I know less of this position of the field
than any other, but from those who were engaged heard
glowing accounts of the excellent , behavior of Jenkins'
Brigade and 2d and 20th Georgia, the latter under the
command of Vol Ottrominge. The tact two regiments
have been especial subjects of comment, beosuse of the
splendid manner in which they sueC.esai yeti, met and de

were nearly crit•to pieces, and then retreated only be

THE ALABBt IN RICHMOND--PREPARHIG itit THE
COMING SHOCK."
onleirtglii(7nd Enq u irer, Oct.
Judging from t .e plie,"anciirdid ine - atinearanceThrrtm
present, we have no right to expect anything else than
the continuance of the war for another campaign and on
a very grand scale. True, Lincoln's negro proclamation
is raising eome commotion In the North, but Ms universal
Martial-law will probably quiet that. The Yenkte see=
to have lost his whole desire for his own freedom in his
attempt to destroy ours; and the world does not at this
moment present a more grinding tyranny and a mere ob.
ject snbmiesion than is seen in the dominions or Abraham
the First. Without; therefore, some each popular revo
lution as a day may indeed, bring forth,.brit which it is
very unwise to calculate upon, the whole power of the
North its still to be exerted for our destruction.
Our people and Government are ail meet:out of the ,
giant preparations which Lincoln is making. lits vast
drafts of men are not all. His ship yards are all busy,
and gunboats of heavy • draught and of light draught,
cased in iron armor, and fitted up with all the art of war•
and all the appliances of ingenuity, are being ooestrnoted
la great numbers. •
Thus, while a great army is to pries us on land, our
coasts are to be infested, and our large and small rivers
penetrated by mailed gunboats.
It has become of late a little fashionable to sneer at.
gunboats. There is no good reason for this. They are.
certainly formidable means of offence, to a people who
cannot meet them in the same way. And the rise In the
rivers, which the rains of winter always produce, will.
give them the power of eaceudlstg to the heads of naviga
tkn.
We-must prepare for these gunboats, not by fliPPentlY
sneering at gunboat pantos; that would be very unwise.
Not by timid apprehensions of inability to roast them;
that would be very unwise also. But we must prepare
defences on our rivers and obstructions in. their clusrr
rids. Wo must try all the virtues of sharp-shooters on
the banks. and sub.aeneous batteries in the atresm. We
must make it necessary for the enemy to move in force
wherever he moves at all; thus we shall reduce the num
ber of his attempts Vie should have river guards of
tive, courageous men, sufficient to prevent the crews
from landing and penetrating into the country. The
crew of a gunboat is email, and can be easily overcome
away from the veered: Tho shores that we cannot defend
must be relieved of everything that could reward misrea
ding parties, All movable property should be retired to a
suitable distance.
3 o meet the coming hosts of the enemy on laud, our
army must not only be sufficiently increased in point of
numbers, but Its discipline and efficiency must be pro
moted to the hlgheet'degree; and good citizens sad good
soldiers must all cheerfully submit to and co-operate in
whatever Is necessary to secure these results. Iffis thus,
and thee only, that the war is to be wifely and speedily
ended. All who - desire - those results as his first wish
should be willing to employ the means. The war is sepa
rating men from their business and homes, and inter
rusting the industry and the happiness of the country.
Let us end it as soon as possible.
One of the principal evils to be corrected in the army
is the practice of straggling. It is a vice which,,if •
allowed, will destroy any army in the world. It can
only be restrained by rigid discipline; and Whatever
regulations may be neceseary.to this end should be sus.
tained by the sentiment of the army and the country.
It is very common, hoivever; to censure as harsh any
attempts made to repress this 'evil; and perhaps these
considered complaints may have sometimes found
their way into portions - of this. paper. But, so far from
beiyg harsh, it is only Met to the good officer or soldier
• ho stands up unflinchingly, to bis arduous duty not to
allow one who is dispestat to shuffle to straggle from his
side. The prevention of straggling is demanded by the
best interests' of that cause for which the army itself
wee raised, and of which straggling would be the speedy
ruin.
It would surprise' the uninitiated to know how large a
number there are who habitually straggle away from
duty. - It in said there are some who have boon in the war
from the beginning, but have never been in a fight. In
the army, similar to what we see In everything, there are
geed men and there are shnfflatis. These last have to be
strictly disciplined i or they will ,provo nothing but use
leeg consumers of army rations And when they are
'proceeded against, our sympathy should not be with
them, but with the good and ,brave men whom they aro
leaving to boar the whole brunt of the fight.
It is these etregglers, too, that are so terrible a scourge
to a colintry.tbrough which an army passes. They tarry
behind to plunder while theirbrethren go on to fight.
The procuriasi of army supplies and the discharge of
this important duty in such a manner as not to destroy
the ,resources of the country, nor to affect the people,
demand the most earwig attention. The safety of the
country and the comfort of the citizens are both in
volved. Uufaitbful, incompetent, or dishonest quarter
masters and commissaries could plunge the country into
ruin and the people into destitution and distress beyond
the posiffistlity of averting it. The experience of the
- Goverment hes enabled it to knowlwho are its best men
in these departments Let them be cherished and ho
nored.- • Until men must be discharged Without hesitation
'or compunction. It will not do to stand upon the feel
ings of friends whiehtvili be hurt by it. .By our love of
- our country, and our love for the soldier who fights tte
battles, 'we must taro - them out ; and not to make room
for a new and hungry set who seek the office for eta op
portnuilles,') but for good patriots and honest and capa
ble business men who will have ; at heart the interest of
the country. •
short, - for the ;oar that is. upon us, and Vie cam
paign that impends, _we must , improve every element of
strength and must rpot.out everything that seeoklns.
'We believe that this is the spirit and the effort of al who

military service of the country. We desire to gestalts
stele hands and to stimulate their zeal ; and we c6ll noon

has thereby made manifest that the conflict has ceased
to he a war as recognized among civilized nations; and,
on the part of the enemy, has become an invasion of an
organized horde of murderers and phmdertirs, breathing
I !tetrad and revenge for the numerous defeats sustained
on legitimate battle-Gelds, and determined, if possible.
to exterminate the loyal population of these States, to
transfer their property to their enemies, end to emanci
pate their staves, with the atrocious design of adding
senile insurrection and the massacre of families to the
calamities of war : And whereas, Justice and ihumanity
require this Government to endeavor to repress the
lawless practice and designs of the enemy, by inflicting
severe retribution
Therefore, the Congress of the COnfederate States of

Mr. Bill, from the game committee, presented the for:.

1. That if any person, singly or in organized bodies,
shall, wider the pretence of waging war, kill or maim., or '

•Ie WAR: OP EXTERNDIATION PROPOSED.
Mr. Phelan, from the same committee, submitted the/-
following as the minority report ou the earns subject :
Joint resolution in relation to the future pre:locution or
the war with the. United States:
Insulted and oppressed by a long train of evils, and-
menaced by future peril, under the Government of the
United States, the separate sovereignties of the States,.
constituting tbe Confederate Stales , of America, die
solved the political connection existing between them
selves and the other sovereignties composing the United'
States, and' organized a distinct Confederation. Upon
Ike formation a war most foul and unnatural was inau
gurated for its destruction -by the Government frotn ,
which it had separated, and upon the pretext teat the
Government organized send thus created was not the
choice and offering of tbe people inhabiting said States,-
but was a despotism erected by daring and ambitious
demagogues, 'by whom the voice of the mass of oar
" population was silenced, and their efforts to preserve the
Federed Union pantie zed and suppressed. For nearly
two years has this inhuman and unholy crusade been
waged &gated us. - . •
COnscione of the unity of all classes of our people,

hope that our enemies would become conscious of the
wickedness of - .their warfare, and of the folly Of
attempting our subjugation, averse to the shed

man .life, the Confederate Slat: s have _conducted
their defence upon the most humane principles of
I - civilized watfere, and under the goading!, of wrongs
I and outrages perpetrated by our foes, that might
justly have invoked a policy of revengeful retalia
tion. The pretence by which the war, was origi
nally sought to be justified has lone since been dbt
ideated, • our enemies themselves being the judges;
whilst the solemn consecration of our national tem
ple has convinced the world that the blood and tree
'sore of oar common country have been unreservedly de
dicated to its preservation. But our reasonable home
have been disappointed; our desire for peace has been
; spurred, our efforts to avoid human sacrifice unappre
elated, our re - cognition refused, and oar rights as an tn
:deeendent nation scouted and defied. War, unappeased
and relentless, is still urged against us. The sufferings

,Our eignelandtepeated victories, and the generosity which
has characterized our treatment of prisoners in i his unequal

adversaries, orpredisposing their hearts to peace, seem to
'engender towards us a more remorseless malignity. to in-
Yoke the ereatiosnor larger armies, and to inspire the
cocernction and energize the preparation of more ter
rible: engines of warfare with which to annihilate and
subdue us, whilst the entire property of the South, by
an act of legislation, bas been confiscated end forfeited
to our foes. infuriated by continual defeat, maddened
by revengeful passion, and exasperated by despair of ef
feerirg our subjugation through the modes of civi
lized warfare, our brutal foes at length seek to light
in our laud the baneful firm of servile war, by omen
cipatir g amongst us four millions of negro slaves,
with the design of effecting an indiscriminate slaughter
of all ages, sexes, and conditions of our people. A
scheme so atrocious and infernal is unparalleled In the
blackest and bloodiest page of savage strife, surpasses in
atrocious cruelty the. most signal despotism that ever
disgraced tbe earth, and reveals the design of our enemy
to be, regardless of the laws of God or man, the subjuga
tion or the annihilation of the people of these Confederate
States. We are thus confronted with the dire alterna
tive of slavery or death, and must decide not only with,
reference to ourselves, but our posterity. Extermination
by the slaughter of a free people Is preferable to their
extinction by subjugation. The path of duty openg be
fore us, and we now prepare to tread its dangerous track,
obedient to the (heed necessity br which we are impelled,
and sustained by an unfaltering tenet in that God who
has three far sheltered our infant Republic beneath the-
protecting shade of his Almighty wing ; therefore,
Be it resolved iy the Congress of the Confederate
Slates, That from this day forth; all rules of civilized
warfare should be disregarded in the future defence of
our country and our liberty and our lives, against the
fell design now openly avowed by the Government of the
United States, to annihilate or enslave us, and that a war
of extermination should bencefotth be waged against
Every invader whose hostile foot shall cross the borders
of these Confederate States.
