THE BATTLE OF ANTIETAM.
Most Interesting Details
No battle since the war began has so nearly
approac' ltedibe character of one of the regu
lar old-world battles of renown, as that of
Wednesday last. In every previous engage
ment of any - magnitude, the ground was ao
obstructed with woods, that the general in
command could find Mislngle 'point of view
from which the whole field might be seen. In
fact, ,frflut Bull Run the . first, down to
Bull.ftlin the second. every battle of import
ance has been made up of . a series of nearly
independent conflicts, under' commanders of
, brigades orregiments, whose attacks, or move •
mantis of whatever kind, ware made without
4sOiosett,--end-often—triore-after the - fashion of
Indian warfare, then according to the fatties
of amore scientific system. The great bat
tle of Wednesday last, however, differs in tote
from its predecessors, and its details will be
studied both at home and abroad with an in
tswersr:corresponding fo the character which
. „..„ , .
distinguishes it and gives it importance. We
have a most vivid and effective description of
the whole healable correspondent of the N.
' Y. Tribune, which we lay before our readers
in addition to that we copied owSetrirday :
itix !erns WIELD. . .
On the evening •of Tnezdey, Hooker MO
ordered to creel the.''Antiatitin Creek with his
corps, and, feelieg the lett of the enemy, to
be readyy to attack:next morning. Baring
the day of apparentinactivity, McClellan bad
been maturing hts plan of battle, of which
lioaker's movement was one development.
• The position pn either side was' pectilier.
When 'Richardson advanced on Monday -'e
found the enemy deployed and displayed in
for:weds' indsent-shiped ridge, the outline
of which followed more, or less exactly the
course of Antietam Creek. Their lines were
tben.forming,,and the revelation of force in
trent of the ground Which they really inten
ded to hold, we e probably meant to delay our
attack until their arrangements' to receive it
were complete.
During that day they kept their troops ex
posed and did not move them even to avoid
the artillery fire, which. must have been oc
casionally- annoying. Next morning the
linieind celnmns which had 'darkened eorn
-1 gelds and bill crests, had been withdrawn.
'
Broken and wooded,,ground behind the shel
-1 tering hills concealed the rebel masses.
What from our front looked like only a nar-
I .row Am omit fringed-with .woods was a broad
table-land of for - est and `ravine ; cover for
troupe everywhere, nowhere easy access for an
paino.....:km. smoothly. sloping surface in
114t-filltl.UU-sifeepihr .of elowl3imingling
lines was only •dolusion. It was all a rebel
stronghold beyond.
llnder thwirese of.these_hills runs the deep
strain:ballet Antietatti Creek, fordable only
at distant points. Thrbe bridges cross it, one
on the Hagerstown road, one on the Sharps
' burg pike, one to the left in - a - deep recess of
' 0.4p1y-falling hills. Hooker passed the first
to reach the ford by , which ho crossed, and it
was held by PieellaDtoll with a reserve of
cavalry during the battle. Tbe second was
close under the rebel center, and no way im-
PonstrvrYtifidrdiffdek At the third,
Burnside attacked and finally crossed. Be
tween the first and third lay most of the bat
tle lines. They stretched four miles . from
right to left.
Unaided attack in front, was impossible.
McClellan's force! lay behind low, disconnect.
- ed. ridges, in front. of the rebel summits, , all
Os' nearly ' ll a - rintiooded. They gave ' coma
cover for artillery, and guns . were therefore
missed tin tha . "-centar. The enemy had the
Shepherdstownvoad and the Alageretown and
Williamsport. lead both opin to him in Veer
.for ratiest,r. Along onaor the other, if beaten,
he must fly. This, among other reason' de
tarmined,?perhspe,.the ..plan of battle Which
hicelallanfinially tesolied'on.
The plan was generally as follows : Hooker
was to gerll94.the tight, establish himself on
the enemy's left, if possible, flanking his po
sitkirr,snd to open Shalight. Similes, Frank
lin and Mansfield were to lend their forces
also to-the - sigh!, co-operating with and sus

AND
Hooker sent in his nearest brigade, and or
dered Doubleday to forward his beet brigade.
Hartinff's and Doubleday's brigades pushed
on and held the hill front which the cornfield
begins to descend. They wore severely at
tacked by the rebels, and though' they,, were
severely cut up, and Gen. Hartsnff wounded,
they maintained their position.
The crisis of the fight at this point bad ar
rived i: Rickett's division vainly endeavoring
I to advance, and exhausted - by the effort, had
.fallen bac k. Part of Mansfield's corps was
ordered in to their relief, but Mansfield's
troops came back again, and their General was
mortally wounded. The left nevertheless was
too extended to be turned, and trio strong to
be broken. Ricketts sent word he could not
adverb°, but could hold his ground. Double
day had kept his guns at work on the right,
and had finally silenced a rebel battery that
1 for half an hour had poured In a - galling enfi
lading fire along Hooker's central line.
Orders were sent to Crawford and Gordon—
rthe two Mansfield brigades—to move directly
forward at once, the batteries in the centre
were ordered on, the whole line was called on,
and the General himself went forward.
HOW .800[ZU WAS WOUNOZD
To the right of the cornfield and beyond it
was a point of woods: Once carried andlagly
held, it was the key of the position. Milker
determined to take it. He rode out in front
of his furthest troops on • hill to examine the
ground for a battery. At the top he dis
mounted and went forward on foot, completed
his reconnoiseanoe, returned and remounted.
The musketry fire from the point of woods
was all the while extremely hot. As he put
his foot in the stirrup a fresh volley of rifle
bullets_canie Ithiraing by. The tall soldiery
figure of the General, the white horse which
he rode, the elevated place where be was—all
made him a most thisigerously conspicuous
mark.
Three teen -were shot down by hie side at
the same moment--that Hooker was struck in
the foot by * ball. The air was alive with
bullets. lie kept on his horse for a few mo
ments, though the wound was severe and ex
cessively 173 . ,11:401, and would not dismount till
he had given his last order to advance. lie
was himself in the very front. Swaying un
steadily on hiS horse, he turned in his mat to
look about MI. .There Is a'regiment to the
right ; cider It forward I Crawford sad Gor
don are coming up. Tell 'theta to carry these
works andhold them—and It is our fight l"
It was foind that the ballet had passed
completely through his foot. The surgeons
who examined it on the spot could give no
opinion whether bones were broken, but It
was afterwards ascertained that though grazed
they were not fractured. Of coarse the se
verity of the wound made it impossible for
him to keep the field, which he believed
already won, so far as it belonged to him to
win it. It was nine o'clock.
The fight had bean furious wince five. A •
large. part of his command - was broken, but
with his right still untouched, and with Craw
ford's and Gordon's brigades just up, above
all, with the &drawn of the whole central
line which the men had heard ordered with
cheers,bewell might leave the field, thinking
the-tattle-bad been won I -As it was impos
sible to hold the position General': Sumner
withdrew the diviiion to the rear, end ones
more the cornfield was abandoned to the
enemy.
French sent word h . & oonld held his ground.
ILichardson, while gallantly leading a regi
ment.nnder a heavy fire, was severely wound
ed in the shoulder. Gen. Meagher was
wounded at the head of his brigade. The loss
in general officers was becoming frightful.
At one "'cloak affairs on the right had a
gloomy look. Hooker's troops were greatly
exhausted Ma n, and • their General away from the
field. sfield's were no better, Sumner's
command hsd lost heavily, but two of hie di
visions were still competitively fresh. Artil
lery. was yet . playing vigorously. in front,
though:the ammunition of warty of the bat
teries was entirely exhausted, and they had
been compelled to retire.

REISTORCIDIESTS. 1
At this crisis Franklin came up with fresh
troops, and commanding one division of the
cors;formed on the left. Slocum was sent'
(aw p ard along the slopes lying under the first
ranges of the division of rebel hills, Iwhile
Smith was ordered to retake the cornfields and
woods which glibly had been so hotly contest
ed. It was done in the most handsome style.
Ills Maine and Vermont regiments sed.the
rest went forward on the run, and cheering as

and still the line advances. The brigades of
Burnside are in heavy column ; they will not

The rebels think twice before they dub into
these hostile mimes.
There is abaft; the rebel left gives way and
scatters over the field, the rest stand fast and
fire. More infantry comes up; Burnside is
outnumbered, flanked, compelled to yleid — t.e

!AR 23,
The. Rebel Invasion of Maryland--
The Plan, and the Bleu who are
Carrying it Out.
A Washington correspondent of the Nevi'
York limes, writes:
Some facts in connection with the ope
rations in Maryland have just come to my
knowledge, which may prove of interest,
and I proceed to note them down—premis
ing that they are mainly derived from a
source entirely trustworthy, and are anti-,
tled to all thecredit which unofficial obser
vations deserve.
The rebels, as is well known, pushed for
Hagerstown, where they are believed to
have concentrated three columns, amount
ing in , the aggregate to over one hundred
ihousairtmin. The column from Frederick
was overtaken near Middletown; while
Gen. Burnside, though no mention of the
fact is made in the official bulletin, had
succeeded in,,making a detour, and, by a
forced march; had struck the enemy by a
table road at that point, cutting off a por-
;tion of the, rear guard. And while giving
`all credit for the success of our forces in
this
[ action, we must not forget that the
' mass of the enemy's army is yet untouched.
j Whether the report that he is flying, panic
stricken, toward the Potomac, shall prove
to be justified by the facts, we have yet--to
learn. ,
If the enemy has 100,000 men in the '
mountains of Maryland, as my informant 1
believes—and he has been within their
lines, and is a grin of trusty judgment—
it will still' be no child's play to dislodge
them. That Lee and Jackson have invaded
..iblit _Sinte,simply to _rim away again at'
the:first encounter of our forces, and them
lose the prestige they have gained, seems
hardly credible. There are those who be- I
lieve that a small detachment--say 25,000
or 80,000 men—will be left to hold some
mountain pass against, McClellan, while
the balance of the army,"by a forced march, t
' I will be united with the rebel reserve known
to be iu Virginia; and attack Washington
before the bulk of our force can be returned
here for its defence. But this is a theory
scarcely practicable; for while our army
in Maryland is probably not inferior to
their own in number; we have a reserve
nearly as large in the trenches around the
capital, besides a heavy column sent westward
on the south-side of te e ,Potomae. The em
cees- of su - ch — an enterprise, would require
movements equal'in rapidity and precision,
to the most brilliant executed by Napoleon.
The enemy would be compelled to evade or
destm our force south of the Potomac, and
to storm our fortifications, defended by
numbers nearly equal to their own, before
'eCle lan's army could arrive to fall with
,tru tive force upon their rear.
On e other hand, Lee says they have
int u tion of leaving Maryland. They
ii
ye one there to remain—to deliver that
ate rota the rule of the despot, and give
e ople a fair election between the
trth rn Union and the Southern Confed
tcy With that intention, they have
:en over the bulk of-their forces in Vir
ails, well supplied with small arms and
artill ry, and commanded by the best offi
cers i their service.
Th good conduct of the rebebi in their
occu tion is fully confirmed. They allow
no pl ndering, and treat even Union citi
zens "th kindness.. They pay for every
thin they get in Confederate notes, or
Mar and or Virginia money. Nothing is
tout ed till its value is estimated and the
price fixed. - .
The rebels are, to a great extent, armed
with- new Enfield guns ; and many of their
cannon, of which they have a vast supply,
are of English manufacture. Their sup
plies-of ammunition are also ample. Thus
provided, ud with their intimate know
ledge of the country, it' is not impossible
that huliger alone must be the power which
can co pel them to a final retreat or sur
render.
Lee is believed to be the brains, as Jack
son is the hand and foot, of the army. Lee
plans; Jackson executes. In their marches,
Jackson leads the advance and Leo brings
up the rear. Lei will talk, to some extent;
but Jackson is always silent. Even his
friends are unable to obtain from him any
clue to the plans.
Jackson is described as a man of ' very
peculiar temper and and habits. Re dresses
in the commonest manner, wearing no [
badge that can indicate his rank. He lives ,
,entirely in the
. field, sharing the half-ra
tions of his men; ancl-disdabrufg-thd effem
inate luxury of a house-roof anti good bed.
At - ono of his recent stopping places he was
induced to occupy a dwelling-house as his
[ headquarters, but be became uneasy at
such unwonted comfort, and was presently
.lound again in his old place amongst his
soldiers. His whole baggage is his Bible
and a few maps, and when not on the
march he spends his time reading the for
mer,.or lying on the ground and. studying
tin-latterVle
- eof - Wei - 11Tel" - religioua
habits, and ,would seem more a type
of the old Puritan. soldier than any other
man in either army.
The impression made upon the Mary
landers, both rebel and loyal, is that Lee
and Jackson have come here to remain.
The bulk of the people wish them gone,
even their sympathizers and friends; but
they have resigned themselves to the con
viction that Maryland is to share the fate
of Virginia, and become a-battle -field for
the contest. , The conciliatory policy of the.
rebels-10, different from that heretofore'
petniued—ie well calculated to favor the
belief l: for Hitt is - their - design to occupy
the fastnesses of the border for the season
what importance , to them to secure the
friendship of the [community about them?

The 'Retreat front the Maryland
Heights-. Who is Responsible I
The correspondent of the New York
n771e4 writes: •
By whom the order for the evacuat on of

determined hereafter. I saw the order to
Capt. McGrath, commanding him to spike
the guns, and It wait , by _ Col. Ford,
Who was in command of the Heights. His
friends affirmed most explicitly, thatit em.
'mated from headquarters. On Gm other
hand, a Lieutenant in the Twelfth New

Col. Miles at the time the retreat began,-

that he reeled inhis saddle and was appa

"Col. Miles evidently had confidence in
our ability to hold them. In a converse.:
tion with him, on the Wednesday previous,
he stated to several of us that he could
hold them against any , forte. "The enemy
never can take them; ,
he affirmed.
On the day after the retreat,' Col. Miles
rode up to the Captain of the Conimisisary,.
`is several of us were standing around him,
and said in an abrupt manner: "Captain,

Col. Miles was on the ground much of
the day, apparently directing operations.
The movements of the enemy at other
points doubtless prevented his being there
all the time. On one or anatiiii of two
parties rests the responsibility. Col. Miles
is in his grave. Col. Ford alone can solve
the disputed point. These statements—in
publishing which I violate no private trust,
having been made in the presence of num
erous parties—are called out by the posi
tive declarations of a writer - that Col Ford
surrendered the stronghold at his own dis
cretion, and by a desire to throw what
right we can upon the unsettled point.
Something of Monday's Movements.
The indications at 0 o'clock on Sunday
evening, after the battle was fairly over,
were that the next day would be one of
fierce and decisive battles. We knew'we
were on the heels of the enemy, that he had
reinforcements during the fight which had
been likewise put to rout, and that on the
morrow we ; would most likely battle with
his whole force. The prevalence of this
belief had an inspiriting effect upon oar
men; They were justly proud of their suc
cess, and were eager to fight the whole
thing out the next day, if opportunity offer
ed. The Corps of (lens. Sumner, Banks
and Porter were fresh and vigorous, not
having been s t all engaged, while those
who fought were as ready as the fresher
I troops.
TUE IVOUNDED
Early Monday morningdetails were made
for burying the dead, which was soon per
formed as the proportion of killed was un
usually small. Our wounded, Which
thilik will number less than 2,000, were
conveyed to Middletown, - and all the Church
es and many of the private housei were
filled. The ladies turned - oat , ivitli com
mendable spirit, and ministered faithfully
to the poor fellows as fast as they' arrived.
To-day the wounded are arriving hefre, and
the churches of Frederick are being used
for the septic purpose. Many of those but
slightly *Mended art+ leaving by the trains.

•
There were probably over two thousand
prisoners taken during the fightscif Sun
day evening, and about _seven hnndred•
rebel sick were left in the barracks at this
place.' The enemy have, treated their own
sick during the last two . . weeks with great
cruelty. They have left - them to die almost
anywhere—by the roadside and in fence
_corners, and the citizens of Frederick have
hitched uplheir teams and gone down the
Georgetown turnpike, toward the Potomac,
whence they came, and picked up the poor
fellows, brought them in, redeemed them
from their filth and rags, and saved their
gONDAY'S PURSUIT
We did not, for some reason, geeti bright
and early start on Monday morning. The
rebels had been driven into Boonsboro on
Sunday night, eight miles from Middle-.
-town. Hooker's force started about eight
o'cl4t, a. m., and his advance cavalry soon
had.a collision with the enemy's rear at
Boonsboro and drove them handsomely
from that place. Our infantry - followed on,
and found the roads, fields, forests and hills
swarming with rebel stragglers. They
were speedily gathered up and sent, to the
rear, and by ten o'clock Hooker sent word
back that he had captured a thousand, and
if the army immediately pressed on the
whole. rebel force would be ours. General
Hooker may have been too sanguine, but
at any rate no decided advance was made
until nearly noon, some time being neces
sarily consumed in ascertaining the roads
.and the lay of the country.
VALUABLE AID
Was tendered our Generals in this respect
by dozens of loyal citizens, who came on
horseback and by mountain paths from the
direction the enerey had taken, and gave
full and reliable information of the rebel
movements. This was one of the most gnat- I
ifying signs which we met with anywhere.
In Virginia it was all the other , way; the
enemy knew all about us, find we knew
i nothing of them., But here, yesterday
morning, it was cheerful, indeed to see these
honest and loyal men Seek to headquarter*
each corroborating the other's
,story, and
rendering their information Fore
instance, a large body. of the enemy break
fasted at Keedysville at shout seven
o'clock, and within two hours ~ a fterward
four or, five men friim that village had ar
rived with the inforulation at General Mc-
Clellan's headquarters, six miles distant.
ON VIE MOVE. ;
Hooker moved by the main pike to
Boonsboro followed by -Sumner, while .
Banks moved by a very crooked road away
round to the right of Boonsboro, evidently
to ascertain if the enemy had any further
force in the direction 'of Hagerstown.- It
_was rendered positive that he had not, and
Banks again struck the .Boonsboro road,
and followed Hooker. At the latter place
a branch pike diverges from the main road
to Hagerstown, and, turning • abruptly to
the left in the centre of the village, runs
• nearly duo south to Kegdysville, Sharpe
burg and Sheppardstown, on the Potomac.
These three - corps pursued the ' -enemy by
that route.: -
Reno's and Porter's 'corps took the rough
winding road which ran 'over the _monn
tan crest through the battle field of Sun- .
day, and.followed toSpedysville,:strik
ing the pike sahorediatance south of that
pbtoe, and pushing toward Sharpsburg,
from which the enemy were driven just at
sundown.
