formerly
Richmond of this city was
a resident of the City of
Cnrbondalo In the enrly GO's. When
the "WurtB Guards" marched off to
the war from that place with colors
flying and hy the sound of flfo and
drum Mr, Richmond was one of tho
number. The day after the battle of
Antlotam ho stood on tho battlefield
and a week later 'ho wrote the fol
lowing letter to tho editor of the
Carbondalo Advance, now the weekly
edition of tho Leader, and described
what ho saw. The following Is tho
letter written fifty years ago, taken
.from tho Carbondnlo Leader with
'Permission of J. E. Richmond.
Hagerstown, Md., Sept. 20, 1SG2.
Saturday evening In Camp.
E. A. Benedict, Esq., Ed. Advance,
Dear Sir: Agreeably to my prom
ise, to keep you advised of the
whereabouts and doings of the
"Wurts Guards" and matters con
nected with our present campaign,
I sit down In my tent this eve to ar
range the hurried notes I have tak- j
en of affairs up to this date. I write
with tho sound of cannon In the dis
tance, and by going outside the tent
I can see the flashes of guns towards
tho Potomac.
We think a brisk engagement is
going on at no great distance, and it
Is not improbable that within the
next twenty-four hours our regiment
.may be called on to participate in it.
Gen. Kenly's brigade of Maryland
troops marched through town this
morning on their way to the Poto
mac, and I think it probable they
'have come up with the rebels and
engaged them. This bridage came In
early this morning from Datllmore
via Harrlsburg. But what Is now
going on In front Is mere matter of
conjecture, and I will proceed to give
an account of the stern realities of
war. w.hich I have already met with.
You have probably learned about
our arrival at Harrlsburg and being
sent to this place, so that it will be
unnecessary for me to refer to the
circumstances attending our trip
hither. I will, therefore, confine my
self chiefly to a brief narrative of
scenes which none of our company
but myself have yet witnessed, and
describe what I saw on the battle
field of Antitam.
Wednesday last was the day of the
great battle. On Thursday morning
when we reached this place every
thing was quiet, though we heard
from tho people about town that a
great battle had been fought the day
before within eleven miles of this
placo (Hagerstown) and the Mayor
has issued a proclamation requiring
all places of buslxies3 to be closed
and all able-bodied men to do down
to tho battlefield to assist in taking
care of the wounded.
During tho forenoon news came
that Jackson's army had surrender
ed, which occasioned great excite
ment, but it has not been confirmed.
Yesterday morning, not feeling well
enough for camp duty, Capt. Nicoi. !
with tho kindness and consideration
which ho has ever shown to me and
to the men under his command,
granted me "leave of absence" forthm th.it nPn. ATrCinlinn htiri vnrv
the day, and I determined to improve
mo oiiuuui H u) inaniiiB a via.i iu
the battlefield. I had been sick at ,
Harrlsburg, but determined to keep
up with tho company as long as pos
sible, and that I have been able to
lo so Is owing, In a great measure,
to tho generous asslstanco of my
mess mate, W. W. Lathrope, and
Hon. J. M. Pooro, our popular ex
Mayor. Mr. Poore, with the energy
thnt characterized him in everything
placed himself under 'forty-five, and
taking my place in tho ranks, with
knapsack slung and musket should
ered, acted well the part of a sold
ier The rebel army, beforo evacuat
ing Hagerstown took all the provis
ions available, even to the last loaf
of bread at the Washington Hotel,
where .Mayor Pooro and myself took
breakfast the following morning.
The proprietor told us they cleaned
us out of most everything. In set
tlement of our bill of ?2.00 I offer
ed them "Troy City" money worth
par which ho refused and I gave him
a $S 00 bill of Northwestern money
worth twenty cents on tho dollar, ho
paying tho change In silver. Early
yesterday morning I took a seat in
an ambulance and started for the
field. Tho ambulance also contained
five citizens, who went down for
curiosity, rather than a desire to
render assistance. Wo were told,
however, that tho pickets would not
let us pass the lines. When wo came
to tho guard stationed a short dis
tance from tho field, we were stop
ped, and the question asked of all,
extc.t my self and a surgeon who
had Just Joined us, "Did you come to
render asslstanco or from curiosity?"
All were obliged to confess to tho
latter motive, and sure enough, they
were not allowed to proceed further.
I was surprised at being allowed to
pass on unquestioned when others
were stopped, and did not, at first,
quite understand what It meant.
Presently I ifound mysolf addressed
at. "surgeon," and soon perceived
that my blue army clothing, which
closely resembled the uniform of our
surgeon, had led our men to take
mo for ono of the profession, and
this mlstako procured for mo liberty
to go pretty much where I pleased.
Tho first sight that greeted my
eyes after entering our lines, was tho
camp ground occupied by our troops,
composed of Sumner's division and
a portion of Banks' corps, I should
Judgo, In lino of battle, laying upon
their whiskey, are said to bo the
cause, and certanly their frightful
appearance corroborated tho stato
iment. Dead 'horseB, too, were scat
tered In numbers about the field
"blackened and putrlfylng. All
kinds of wounds wero visible on
both men and horses; heads, arms
and legs shot off, bodies and limbs
torn by shells or shattered by bul-
Richmond
sgti :
lets.
Altogether, tho appearance of
.tho Held was, indeed, revolting, close
beside a dead rebel I observed a rllle
and bayonet, and asked an officer
who stood near me, If It was prob
able that this weapon had boon car
ried by the rebel beforo us. Ho re
plied that he should judge that it
had, and picking It up and examining
it, we soon found a Springfield rifle
on the breech of which was tho mark
of "3d Regiment, Alabama," which
satisfied us that it had surely come
from rebel hands. We found that It
contained a load with a mlnle bullet
about two-thirds of the way In tho
barrel. It was supposed that the
rebel who used tho rifle, after pour
ing the powder and dropping the
bullet into tho barrel was shot be
fore drawing tho ramrod to force tho
ball home. Ho lay with his breast
bone shattered by a mlnlo bullet,
and had apparently been Instantly
killed. Ho was dressed in a coarse
white flannel shirt, very dirty, and
dpsHtiitfi of buttons: nantnlnnnn of
Kentucky Jean, badly soiled, and
much the worso for wear; one shoe
quite good, the other In a very Ira
perfect state of preservation. This
comprised his entlro wardrobe.
In the front part of his cartridge
box was a sllco of raw pork, some
four inches square and half an Inch
thick. His equipments were so dirty
that I had no desire to bring them
away as trophies, but took from an
other rebel nearby a cartridge-box
which appeared to be In tetter con
dition and after buckling It around
me filled it with cartridges from the
box of a third close at hand.
Another gruesome sight never to
be forgotten on tho Cornfield were
the trenches of .half-burled rebels
and union soldiers, owing to a hasty
retreat. Also at stone wall where a
desperate charge had been made and
the dead of each army lay side by
side and over each other awaiting
burial.
Thus equipped I made my waj'
from the field and returned to
Hagerstown in the ambulance which
I had left waiting lor me. I was
Joined at the ambulance by several
who were carrying homo relics slmi-
lar to my own. On reaching our
pickets, however, these persons were
deprived by the guard of all they 'had
brought from the field; but the blue
clothes and army buttons of the
"Surgeon" proved a sufficient pro
tection to me and I passed on with
my relics unmolested and reached
Hagerstown about eight o'clock p. m.
nearly exhausted.
On my arrival I found that our
regiment had left during my ab-
1 sence, but by a lucky chance I met
Leut. Hoslo who informed mo that
the regiment had moved forward to
. within arms, very much fatigued.
' The line of Infantry, within eight, ex
tended about a mile, with artillery
In front, and I was told that our
whole line extended about three
miles.
Here 1 saw Gen. Sumner and staff
and Generals Gorman, French and
Williams. Tho latter was in com
mand of the portion of Banks' corps
then on the field. I learned from
ateiy been on tne fleid( and tho men
were n0arse from cheering him. All
nai the utmost confidence in him.
One remark mado to me was, " If
McClellan Is not sharp enough for1
Stonewall Jackson, they did not
make men who are," and this seem
ed to be the feeling generally.
I learned from some officers here
the route to those portions of tho
field which I most desired to visit,
and was shown the spot where Gen.
Mansfield received his death wound.
It was about fifty feet from a piece
of woods, held by tho rebels at the
commencement of tho battle. I was
also shown tho spot where Gen.
Craw-ford fell founded at the head
of his brigade. I was told, on com
ing from tho field, that tho body of
Gen, Mansfield then lay in a white
house which I could see In the dis
tance, being embalmed.
In conversing with various officers
I learned many particulars of tho
battle. The major of the D9th Now
York regiment told mo that ho went
into battlo with 372 men and 24 offi
cers, and came out with 140 men and
12 officers. A captain in the same
regiment told me that on going Into
battle his company numbered 42
men, and when the firing ceased ho
found but 10 of them on their feet.
While conversing with these offi
cers, a lieutenant Informed mo that
ho saw Stonewall Jackson on tho
battlefield boforo Sharpsburg, on
Wednesday, and that Longtsreet had
been taken prisoner. I .fear, how
evor, that this latter piece of Intel
ligence will prove of tho same char
acter as the news we received Thurs
day morning of the surrender of
Jackson's army. Tho officer also
told me that Lieut. Col. Stetson, of
his regiment, was killed and his
body found robbed of sword, pistols,
watch and monoy, and stripped of
all his clothes excepting shirt. A
major Informed mo that tho 107th
Now York and 13th Now Jersey,
coming on tho field fresh, "skedad
dled." Leaving those troops, I went fur
thor forward, and soon camo upon
tho cornfield where tho battlo had
raged most fiercely. Hero tho 28th,
109th, and 11th Pennsylvania, 3d
Maryland, 102d New York, under
Gon. Hooker, opened tho fight early
on Wednesday morning, Twlco they
wero repulsed, but after receiving
re-lnforcoraents, mado a third attack
which was successful. Standing on
this field I could count tho still un
burlod rebels by scores, and their
blackened and swollen bodies pre
sented a most sickening sight. I was
told that they turned black within
an hour after death; excitement,
gunpowdor and four or flvo miles of
Wllllamsport. Immediately hasten
ed to join It, and passed the night
in camp. A little after two o'clock
in tho morning, wo wore aroused by .
orders to strlko tents and to preparo1
to march at once. Soon after wo
had mado ready however, tho order 1
was countermanded, and wo put our
tents and again lay down until morn
ing without further disturbance.
This afternoon about threo o'clock
wo returned to Hagerstown and to
night wero ordered to cook two days'
rations and bo prepared to march
wo know not where.

within threo miles of Hagerstown,
and after skirmishing with somo of
Anderson's cavalry, retreated with
a loss of four or live prisoners, who
wore brought Into town this morn
ing. In company with John S. Law,
Esq., this morning, wo met a cousin
of O. C. Moore, Who told us that at
half-past eight last evening a body
of rebel cavalry came up to Jones
cross-roads, some miles from Hagers
town on tho Sharpsburg pike. I had
passed that spot on my return a lit
tle more than nn hour previous, and
I therefore must have run n closo
chance of being captured.
Mr. Moore Is a member of tho An
derson cavalry and was stationed at
tho cross-roads, with a portion of
his regiment. He eald ho and his
comrades were driven in by tho
rebel cavalry, after somo little skir
mishing with them.
Tattoo Is now beating nnd all
lights must be put out, I therefore
closo, hoping to see you soon and
exhibit to you my Tellcs of the fight,
If I can succeed In getting them
homo.
