From the Richmond Enquirer. | gkaphic description of hie i 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. 7b the Editors of (he En purer : lx Camp at Cartsa’s Miles, 1 Six Mil l ;s SOLTHOF LiKSBI'KG, Va. > 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 cn back the advance guard id the cue- l 1 my. Bui as it was known that they * 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 , had a small battalion of cavalry, but I Cannot learn that it t> »k any part in the light—the I, probably, n ,t ad initting of their in >vem -nts. \\ a de the forces just mentioned were engaging th • enemy at Harris m's Is land, Gencr.il Evans was <l-. ploying 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 jvith bis whole army in the morning, be fore it was iri iff* need. If t| (H wart n ,,t a prodigy of valor, there hun been no such thing on *>uo side since t!«e Wr>( . 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 ed in it.
