RATTLE OR LEESBURG.
We are permitted to make the follow
ing extract from a letter written by
Hon. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, who
commanded a company in the brilliant
battle near Leesburg. It is the most
graphic account ot that engagement we
have seen. Mr. Brown, though adjudg
ed by his Stat e worthy of her highest
honors, magnanimously refused to ac
cept a higher command in the army
than th’it of Captain, because: of his
want of military experience.

November 12, 1861. )
Gentlemen: Monday morning, the
21st October, musket tiring was heard
at an early hour in the direc ion oi Har
rison’s Island on the Potomac, and it ■ .
was soon after ascertained Capt. '
Duff, of the 17lli Mississippi, who had
been picketing in that direction with
his company, ha 1 encountered, and di iv- I

h -.d only ialbn back t» a stronger posi- : ■
tion, and most likely on as longer force, I
two companies ot the 1 Bth the College
Kities, Capt. Wilborn, and the Burt Ki- I
ties, Capt. Campbell—were promp ly
dispatched to the scene oi action. Capt :
Fletcher, of the 13th, witii his comp my, ■
tout.part in tins. Aboil 10 o’clock tiie
tiring became more general, and it was 1
apparent that a sharp conflict was in
progress. The enemy, for the first time
at that point, opened an artillery fire,
and the Blh Virginia, Coi. IJunton, was
ordered up. tie reached the field, 1
should think, alter 1 o’clock, P. and -
before 2 the vollics on both sides were '
general—the enemy using their art it- I
levy only. (1 may mention here Uiat I
we had no artillery engaged in thefig t, I
and did not lire if cannon all day. We ,

\\ a de the forces just mentioned were
engaging th • enemy at Harris m's Is

wa.it Was left of the 13ih, 17th and ! Sth
Mississippi Regiments on the hilltops ,
and in the plains near E ivv ird’s Ferry, i
two or three miles farther lown tin* I’o- ,
tomac. It Was here th it lie made so
much <>l us. My company, with tw »
others—Cap's. Kearney and Ltiry —
were so posted as to nuke the enemy,
if they saw us, believe we were an en-»
t're regiment. 1 have no doubt all the
c hers were posted to like advantage.—
From a promontory near my station, we
could plainly see the Yankees with our
naked eyes passing their rtiniorcements i
across the river behind Harrison’s Is
land, and within few hundred yards
of where the light was going on. Oi
course we caused Gen. Evans to be in
formed of this fact. Buthe held us to
our position. 'I he enemy was crossing
below ns, at Edward’s Ferry, in stili
greater force, protecting their advance
and keeping us at bay by a formidable
battery, so planted as to rake the coun
try for at least two miles around. All
day we had not fired a gun, except a
single shot early in the morning, dis
charged by our company at a squad of
Yankee cavalry that dashed in among
us, and then dashed out again. It was
now near 3 o’clock ; suddenly, as if by
magic, the different companies and
squads were called together, and the
whole force inarched forward, as if we
meant to attack without regard to con
sequence. The fight at this moment
was waxing hotter and hotter at Harri
son’s Island, and we were marching
right away from it. You may imagine
how the souls of the brave but un nitiu
ted privates and subordinate officers
chafed under such treatment. Sudden
ly again we were halted, and ordered
to countermarch. Slowly we retraced
our steps. Alter marching half ain de
as if we were going to a f uneral, the
enemy 1 joking on and doubting, I sup
pose, whether we were falling back to
a stronger position, or to gel some oth
er way to advance on them, we sudden
ly found ourselves covered from the
Country in our rear, by a hill ami skirls
of wood ; instantly the order * d mble
quick” was given, and off wv plunge
ut a long trot, for the fighting groumi
now about two miles in our lion', leav
ing the Yankees wondering what had
become ot us. In less than thirty min
utes the Kill and 18th Mississippi, in
all their force, were in the hottest of the
fight' The 13th, Col. Barksdale was
left behind to wutch the enemy wo were
now leaving in our rear, and, if possi*
ble, prevent their advancing. Heie the
13th had the post ot honor, because it
was eminently the post of danger ami
right W‘d| did they maintain it. Col.
Barksdale, at. this point ami at this hour,
with his single regiment, k> pl back a
column powerfully reinfoicid, which
Gen. Kvuijs had Dot tlared to engage

commenced. Barksdale boldly t allied
forth, and impudently (excuse the ex
pression) attacked the force Ofeoui.se
if they hud known his real strength
they would have walked right.over him.
He had about SOD men of all arms, ami
they about 4,500, accarding to their
own account. Instead of adv.nietug in
all their force, they kept feeling about
to find out what had become of us, until
Barksdale went out and gave them a
spat, killing 42 of their men and wound
ing their General, with little or no loss
THE MARIETTA WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
|to himself; ami then, thinking he was
! trying t<> withdraw them into an am
buscade of infuriate, rebels and masked
batteries, they fell buck under shelter
of ' heir cannon, planted on the opposite
side of the river. Here they began
throwing up b»eastworks and rifle pits,
at which delightful work they toiled in
cessantly all night long. Poor devils !
with powerful batteries in their rear
and breastworks in their front, and no
enemy attacking, they took frigh', at d
sneake l back in the night, across the
river, i».to Maryland, io meet their dis
concerted and discomfit ted friends from
Harrison’s Island. What frightened
them ?
The answer to this question leads me
back to the 17th and 18tii Regiments.
On they went, right into the fight—the
18th in front, and the 17th close behind.
As we neared the field, the firing on our
side became perceptibly weaker. Just
as we were filing down a small ridge,
through a wood, and some live hundred
yards from the enemy, we met Cap’.
Wilborn’s “College Rilles,” who hud
been beaten back. They called out,
“hurry up, the Virginians are out of
ammunition, ami can’t hold out much
longer!” At this critical moment,
James Smith, a private in my company,
sung out, “give ’em a cheer, boys !’’
The wii >lc line caught the inspiration,
ami such ar. unearthly yell as went up
his not been heard since Pandemonium
was inaugurated The Yankees from
hat nmm ’iit fell whipped. I hey knew
that howl, for limy had heard it at Bull
Run. On we went, plunging down a
deep declivity and up a hill, and hen
we stood in less than one hundred and
fifty yards of the almost vic orious Yan
kees.
Col. Burt, of the loth, impetuously
leading the Min, swept forward, an I in
less than one minute was engaged, lead
ing Capts. Jaynes’, Harner’s and two
other companies in an almost h ind t<>
Irani fight with the enemy. The ether
companies, of which mine was one,
were brought up almost at the same
m i.nent, by Lieu Col. Griffin. Burt’s
command swung - around to the right,
and w-is thus thrown directly in Gril
iiu’s front. We could not for the mo--
imnit lire, <’ol. Burt and his men being
directly between us and the enemy, i
called to my men at this instant, stand
iug in the edge of an open field, to fall.
I'ney did s >, ami simultaneously a ter
tiiic shower of bullets s.vepl >ver our
h r ids, killing Sergeant Pier, and wituii
ding private J. F L - wis severely in
the he.id We lost nothing after this’
In an instant Col. Burt’s horse came
<1 shing furiously, without a rider,
through our lines. There was some
thing akin to a shock manifested among
the men, and I said, “steady, men !
sealy !” Then came another volley < f
musketry, and the artillery, right in
front, belched forth its fi-ry missies of
death, distant from us 150 steps. The
men were firm.
While this was going on, the rear of
(18di) Regiment was getting into line,
ami Colonel leutherston was rapidly
bringing the 17th into position. In
less than three minutes the whole line
of battle wis complete. The Virginia
Sth on the left, the 17th Mississippi in
the tide, and the 18ih on the right.—
Col. Burt, at this instant, was borne
from the field, mortally wounded. He
p issed th oiigh my company, and fear
ing the effect on the men, I said, “There
goes our Colonel, let us avenge his
wrongs !” The boys replied, “we will,
sir I” and the Colonel, game to the last,
said, “Go on my brave fellows ; don't
mind me ; you can whip them !”
I had form *d my company on the ex
treme left of the 18th, and consequently
on the extreme right of the 17th. Fe ith
erston. being senior Colonel, ami Gen
eral Evans not being personally pres
ent, took the command. His speech, in
ordering us forward, ought to immor
talize him.
He said : Soldiers, the Yankees are
before you. You must drive them
arross the Potomac or into eternity
Forward, ma ch I” At the word march,
th j whole 1 xi ■ stepped off as if ji h i.),
been on p.ira le. Advancing - a few steps
the order was given, “ready, aim, fire !’
when the whole Brigade poured a vol
ley into the wo->.ls in front, from which
tin: enemy had been firing. It was re
turned by random shoo ing, ami it be
came apparent the Yankees were falling
back. Again the order was, “forward
inarch,” and the whole lino, in the same
go >1 order, m ived up—reaching the
point where tie enemy stood. When
we reached the fi d I we found they had
nmved back perhaps one liundr d yards
—t .eir line through the woods present
ing an uneven, zig-zag appearance.—
Wo again pou. :> I in. a terrific volley
ami pressed on The enemy fled ; and
after this the shots on our side were
aimed at such of them as our men
chanced to see as tin y lied through the
woods, or uh they attempted to rally ju
broken squads. We pressed on to the
high bluff, overhanging the river, just
as he terror stricken Yankees were
leaping pell-mell down the deep decliv
ity, and again our whole line poure I
firth a hurricane olshots.
Night was now g-i liering in, and in
the dense forest on the brink of the
river, it was so-j i pitch dark. A scene
<1 terrible confn ;i"n, measurably hid
den from our view by the darkness,
was being enacted in the little vale at
Ibe wafers edge. The Yankees, driv
en lik- so mtny frightened sheep,
weie b<u)(|| ( .(| together. Hundreds
crowding liglr transporta, sunk <>r
upset them. Other hundreds, fianlic
with fright, pimped bead long into the
river, to fir.d only u watery grave.—
’ Some doubtless in l ie their way in safe
ty to the island bhore; t Ml t we know
1 that many hundreds peri4 lv( ]. How
many were killed or drowned will nev
er be known. A thousand, lam satis*
fi< - d, will nt»t cover the list. In five
minutes we should have slaughtered
five hti nd re*’more, if they had not beg
ged for qiiar'ers. As it was, our offi
cers had great difficulty in restrain
ing the men. I had myself to threaten
some of my own men with death be
fore I could stop them from firing.
The field, after the battle, presented
a fearful picture—a picture of war
of civil war. All along our line of
march lay the dead and the dying; and
as we returned the bodies of the slain
lay like swine in a slaughter pen,
while the groans of the wound <1 pierc
ed the air, and made night hideous It
was strange to contemplate the twink
ling starsand clear, bright moon riding
in the Heavens at hat hour, and won
der if they were not mocking the dis
tress of tliesee victms of a sad but wick
ed delusion.
I have said nothing, you will observe,
to indicate to whom I think the great
est credit is due for this most signal
and remarkable victory. 1 have no’,
because- all did their duty, and ail h .<1
to d i its m ike sue *ss <•< r ai i an-l s gnal.
tis due to the Virgini..ns to siy they
made -me bold ind desperate cliaige
alter we reached the field. What they
did before that I cannot say. . The 17th
came up to dieir work like veterans.—
• hey could not fiave been better com
ma ded, ami no troops ever behaved
better Os the 18th i hardly becomes
n e to speak, and yet I feel that eulogy
might exhaust tself ayd hardly do it
justice. Bint will live in history as
\l ississ ; ppi’n first great mar yr to
Southern liberty. After he fell Lieut.
Col. Griffin commanded with an intre
pi-.ity and coolness that ut once mark
ed him as a soldier, while Major Henry
was always in the right place at the
right time. The captains and tbeir
oiliceirf behaved as became Mississip
pi.ms. If 1 mi nt ion one or t wo by mime
no unfriendly inference is to be drawn
as t<> the rest. Capt. Jayne was with
Col Bart when he fell, ami being the
senior officer in that part of the field
'or tin* moment, took the command.—
He fought lik - a tiger, and led bis men
from the field literally drippi g with
blood, (’apt Harner fought with equal
coin age. Captains Hill, Keui ney, Lust
—all of ili**ni indeed, plunged into the
fight, regardless of danger, apparemly
resolved to conquer or die. For mys
self, I shall be abundantly satisfied if it
be liejudgmeiit of my countrymen that
I di*l my du y. M 3 company has the
credit of killing twelve Yankees at one
fire, ami of having at every fire done
more or less execu i®n. How all this
may be 1 will not pretend to say. But
this I know; all along the line of our
inarch the ground was well strewn with
dead bodies. We walked over a rifled
cann-m, but I do Lot pretend that we
took it; That honor belongs to the entire
I rigad**, It lay in the line of our march
and we were the first to lay hands on
it. We deserve that much credit no
more.
1 am conscious of having given you
a very imperfect sketch of a very bril
liant batde. y object has been
truthful and fair, and not to mislead
by over colorering at one point and
no* coloring enough at another. If you
no other th incorrect ide»s from thismy
r grot will be less that I have been un
able to give yen every incident, both
of a pnblic and private nature calcula
ted to enlighten you in regard to the
fight, and those -if every grade engag
