(COMMUNICATED.)
Camp Harris. Glynn County Georgia, )
Sept. ISth, 1802. )
Mr. Editor :—I cannot forego the pleasure of
' giving some expression to the grateful feelings
entertained by myself, and many other sick and
convalescent members of the Atlantic & Gulf
Guards, towards the good citizens in the
neighborhood of our camp. Never shall we cease
to remember, with the most lively emotions of
gratitude, the generous sympathy manifested
for the Bick soldier by the families of Capt.
Stevens. Mr. Horace Gould and Mr. Woodferd
Mabry‘SYione of whom, however, will hold a
more prominent and permanent place in our
memories than Mies Mary Gould. In fact the
ladies have been particularly kind and attentive
to our sick. Although most of them are refu
gees from their island homes, and deprived oi
many of their accustomed luxuries and com
forts, yet, when the soldier is strickened with
disease, they not only visit his sick conch, but
bring him medicine and nourishment prepared
by their own white hands. Whilst we would not
seek to discriminate among our fair friends, yet,
in truth, we must say that the visit, of Miss
. Annie Stevens, have, especially, been to ns
' like “good news from a far off country,” or
“cool waters to a thirsty eoul.” She, probably,
having more experience than the other young
ladies, has been our general superintendent, It
has been said, and truly saRftoo, that there art
none who feel so much the want of language as
the trulyrand siifcerely grateful. fully up
predate the adage. But rude of speech, and

•Boonsboro’, iId., Sept.14^1862.
jjwere issued* yesterday afternoon'for
the men to cobJffthree days* rations? ~ii%ene-
my was thet^fencamped—a considerable portion
of It, at least—in. and around Hagerstown, and
th(fprevailing .opinion was' that wp should move
forward Jn the Halrlsbtfrg. What
General Lee’s original intentions were, it wdreJ<
impossible^for anyone outside of his imme~?
diate council to say; but whatever they WeVe,
If would not be venturing too.far to say they
have been temporarily changed • by the bold,
and apparently confident,, advance of McClel
lan. Instead of marching upon Harrisburg, we
turned back upoa our track, and moved down
the Cumberland Jurnpike towards Frederick
/[.and Baltimore, as? the column approached the
village of Boonsboro’,. at the foot of the Blue
Ridge, ten miles from Hagerstown, a rapid ar
tillery fire could bePheard. The report soon
obtained tjmtitwjisan affair oCatfcillery "mere
ly; but advaneg^fnearer wie could dis-S
tinctly hear the report oi small arms hotly en
gaged.
General D. H. Hill’s corps had crossed the
Potomac and come up to the vicinity of Boons
boro’, and constituted the rear of<the army,
which, with the exception of Jackson’s, A. P.
Hill’s and McLaws* commands, was encamped
along the turnpike from Boonsboro’ to Hagers,
town. He held the gap in the mountain, there,
fore, through which the turnpike passed, and
was the first to encounter the advancing col
umns of McClellan. It seems that the Federal
commander put his forces in motion as soon as
he had definite information that we had crossed
into Maryland. His march was rapid, and soon
brought him to Frederick, where there was a
sharp engagement between the cavalry. He
followed on after U3 through Middletown, and
had reached the Boonsboro’. Gap in the Blue
Ridge, about midway between the villages of
-Middletown and Boonsboro*, when he came
upon D. H. Hill’s corps, as already stated.
This was late lost evening.
The position of our forces at this time was
not advantageous for a general engagement.
Longstrcet and Anderson were near Hagers
town, twelve miles from Boonsboro’ Gap,
Jackson and A. P. Hill had rccrossed to the
Virginia side and were investing Harper’s
Ferry, and McLaws held the Maryland Heights
opposite Harper’s Ferry, from which point he
cc-operated with Jackson and Ilill in the
movement egainat that position. General Lee,
therefore, immediately ordered back Long-
street’s and Anderson’3 forces to the relief of
D. II. Hill, then engaged near Boonsboro’.
The Blue RMgo 1-? not high at this place, though
it ia broad-backed, the passage across by the
turnpike being nearly two miles. The enemy
held the mouth of the Gap on the eastern side,
and some of the spurs or off shoots ot the
mountain next to Middletown. f We held the
western end of the Gap and more than one-half
ot the mountain. The enemy was in great
force; we had only one corps, D. II. Hill’s,
and some detachments of cavalry. Longstrcet
and Anderson did not arrive until near 4 P. M.,
up to which time Hill’s corps nad maintained
the unequal combat single-handed.
It will be proper to premise, that for reasons
which will abundantly appear in the course of
this narrative, it is utterly impossible at the
present to prepare either a fall or correct ac
count of the battle fought to-day. The skir
mishers were engaged as early as C o’clock this
morning. From that hour until night tho com
bat lasted with varied success. Garland’s brig
ade was the first to enter the fight, and Aader-
derson’s, (N. C.) Ripley’s, Rhodes’ and Col
quitt’s, went in subsequently, and in the order
in which their names occur. Garland was kiU
ed about 9 o’clock by a minnie ball, which
struck him in the breast, as he wa3 gallantly
leading a charge. Col. Manning, of the Fiftieth
Georgia, of Drayton’s brigade, which came up
late in the day, was wounded. Beyond these
two, I have heard of no other casualties among
the officers engaged, though many have, doubt
less, been killed or wounded.
There was hut one road—the Cumberland
pike—by which Longstreet and Anderson could
move from Hagerstown to Boonsboro’; conse
quently the forces got into position slowly after
their arrival. Upon reaching the vicinity of the
mountain, the several divisions and brigades
were sent forward to their proper places, to
reach which they had to file eff to the right and
left by narrow country roads and get up the
mountain side as best they could. There were
two smaller gaps—one on the right and the other
on the left—to which forces were immediately
sent forward. For these reasons, it was nearly
sunset before the whole of Longstreet’s corps
got fully into position, though the brigades,
first to arrive, had been engaged two hours or
more.
Thus, you perceive, that the enemy had not
only greatly the advantage in numbers, owing
to the absence of a large portion of our troops,
but was the first to get into position. When
the Confederates would charge down the moun
tain, they were subjected to a terrific cross fire
•from the Federal batteries posted on the spurs
and elevations on the eastern side, which ren
dered it impossible ? to advance. Indeed, for
reasons sufficiently apparent upon a perusal of
this narrative, I a:n inclined to believe that the
enemy got the best of the fight. They will cer
tainly claim a victory, and subsequent events
will give some coloring to the claim.
The troops under D. H. Hill behaved with
great gallantry, and none more so than Rhodes’
brigade of Alabamians, and Colquitt’s brigade
of Georgians. The former brigade is composed
of the Third, Filth, Sixth, Twelfth, and Thirty-
sixth Alabama regiments, and the latter of the
Sixth, Twenty-third, Twenty-seventh and
Twenty-eighth Georgia regiments, and the
Thirteenth Alabama. Up to this hour I have
heard of no casualties amoDg tho officers in
either command.
The artillery engaged nnder Hill was Cutt’s
battalion of artillery and Bondurant’s (fdrmer-
ly Montgomery’s) battery, recruited chiefly in
Alabama. Lieut. Col. Cutt’a battalion is com
posed wholly of Georgians. The artillery was
handled with great skill and judgment. Capt,
Lane, a son of Senator Joe Lane, of Oregon,
commands one of Cutt’s batteries. He is an
excellent officer, and fought his battery splen
didly. The same may be said of Capt. Ross
Capt. Patterson and Capt. who com
manded the other batteries of the battalion—all
excellent officers, and led by Col. Catta^one of
the' best artillerists in the service. He was
made Liquti Colonel of. Artillery for gallantry
and skill in the ugly affair at Dminesville last
December. -
^Evans’, Jones’, Toombs’, "(except his old
brigade and himielf had been left at Hagers

tho enemy had between eight and ten thousand

News had been received that Banks was moving
r np with a heavy fgree for the relief of the Fed
eral troops at th^ point. With a view, there*
fore,,to tho concentration of his forces, and to
insuVe the rqdi^ctiou ,of Harper’s Ferry,
General Leo determined, at nine o’clock
to-night, to abandon his position in front
of Boonsboro’, and to move down towards the
Potomac on our right, which was McCle’
left. The wagon t n ins were ordered to v^tl
draw to the river at Williamsport above, recr3s&
at that place; and move, d ->wn to Shepher®^
town, on the Virginia aids below, last opposite
Sharpsbn/g in Maryland. This movemeii,
made it necessary for us to. leave our dead affif
many of our wounded In' - the hands oLth£
enemy. I fear also. that they ^captured /some
hundreds of prisoners, mctL Whg. had fallen
asleap or got out of position.. TheC wagon train
was cut by a detachment of 1,600 Federal '"cav

tion of affairs until they struck the road the

T5ie movement to this place last nigh* was
successfully executed. The army is now in a
position where it can be concentrated, ~ or if
need be, where relief can be sent to Jacksoa~or
Jackson can come to ns. Tho change has ren
dered it necessary for McClellan to alter his
front, and to move down so as to take position
between our forces and his capital. This we
understand he is now doing.
We have rumors from Harper’s Ferry which,
for the present, I forbear to mention. It is
sufficient that Jackson will probably succeed in
capturing the entire Federal force at that place.
The wagons have recrossed the river at Wil

Sharpsburg, Sept. IGLh, S8C2
W€*\iave just received the gratifying news of
Jackson’s complete success at Harper’s Ferry
He has not only reduced the place, but.he has
captured (it is reported) S.700 prisoners, an
imraeuse quantity of commissary and or<jna? ce
stores, thirty odd pieces of field artillery and
several siege guns, and all the arms inthehends
of the prisoners. Other reports put the num
ber of arms taken at a considerably higher fig
ure, but you will hear from Richmond the cor
rect number before this letter can get through
to you. The Fcdernis were chiefly new troops,
and were commanded by Gen. Miles, tho officer
who wa3 suspended for drunkenness at Centre*
ville during the first battle of Manassas. One
rumor has it that they were commanded by a
General or Colonel Smith. The prisoners have
been parolevl and sent on to Washington.
There was but little fighting—indeed, nothing
but slight skirmishing. The positions occupied
by our forces so completely covered the place,
that no avenue of escape was left to the essemy.
MeLaws held the Maryland Heights on this side
of the river, and Jackson and Hill invested the
place on the Virginia side. The enemy saw
their predicament, and were wise enough to
Bu.bna.it to an unconditional surrendei’. The
men were marched ont and require#to stack
their armB in presence of our troops drawn u^
in line to enforce the order, if need be.
Jackson recrossed the river this morning,
and reached this place this afternoon. McLaws
came up later, and will move into position early
to morrow. I am cot informed where A. P.
Hill is, but it is reported he was left at Harper’s
Ferry. Jackson has gone up to the left.
There has been heavy artillery firing nearly
all day. The eombattants are taking up their
final positions and feeliDg ot each other, pre
paratory to a great battle to-morrow. The
casualties have been slight on either side. Some
of the enemy’s shells bursted in this place, but
no one of the citizens was killed. Late this
afternoon—about sunset—the enemy made a
bold dash on the left, with the hope of driving
us from a commanding position ; but he was
disappointed and driven back. This is the only
time the infantry have been engaged to day.
The report that Gen. Loring had crossed the
Potomac some days ago, was without founda
tion. I cannot tell you where he is; for I do
not know.
10 o’clock at night.
It seems I was mistaken in one particular in
regard to the capture of Harper’s Ferry. In
stead of being a bloodless victory, I now hear
from the most reliable sonrees that a desperate
battle was fought. Sunday afternoon c on this side
of the river at Crampton’s Gap. in the Blue
Ridge. Gen. Howell Cobb, with his own brigade
and about 500 men of Mahone’s, was ordered by
Mbj- Gen. McLaws to occupy the Gap and hold
it, if need be, at the cost of every man in his
command. It was known that the enemy had
sent heavy reinforcements for the relief of
Harper’s Ferry, and that they were moving up
the river on the Maryland side, and in the
direction of Crampton’s Gap, Jackson and A.
P. Hill were on the Virginia side, and it was
desirable that these reinforcements should
either be driven back or delayed until tbe re
daction ot the place could be accomplished.
Hence the instructions of Gen. MeLaws to Gen.
Cobb.
The enemy reached the Gap, 15,000 strong,
at 3 P. M. Sanday, and immediately gave battle
to Cobb’s small force of 2,100. A fearfully
unequal and terrific fight ensued. Should the
enemy succeed in passing the Gap that after
noon, they would reach Harper’s Ferry in time
to relieve the beleagered garrison. The Con
federates appreciated the necessities of their
position, and freely opposed their bodies a
living wall against the hpstile host The battle
lasted until night. Cobb was not only:forced
to give back, but be was flanked on'tHs fjght
and left, and suffered terribly. Indeed, bis
coramaifd was almost annihilated, but etlllhis
brave troops fought with a despenaiidn and
courage which has not been surpassed during
the war. * -
At length night came, and tbe enemy had not
passed the Gap, though he had slowly cut his
way through our mutilated ranks. The object
of the Confederates had been accomplished ;
they had delayed the advance of the enemy
until it was too late for him to get through
Sunday night. Next morning the Federal foftes
at Harper’s Ferry surrendered to the heroic
Jackson, but Cobb did the fighting. Let him
him wear the crown who wins the victory.
I have seen no list of our heavy casualties It
is known, however, that the Hon. John B
Lamar, of Macon, Ga., tho brother-in-law and
volunteer aid of Gen. Cobb, was killed H's
body was saved and taken to the Virginia side.
CoL Jefferson Lamar, commanding the “ Tom
Cobb Legion,” in the absence of Col. T Tfc E.
Cobb, was wounded and fell into the hand's of
the enemy. It ia supposed that he was mor
tally wounded. The Legion suffered very se
verely. J
Bat I must close. We are ox? the eve of a
terrible conflict, and heaven only knows what
the result will be. From all I see around me,
I feel certain that one of the greatest battles of
the war will be fought here to morrow. The
enemy are in tromendoas force— not less than
140,000 men. The Antietam river is .'in our
front; the Potomac intour rear. If we are de
feated, the army must perish; if successful, the
stream in front aud the Blue Ridge at whose
base it flows will prevent any pursuit.. It is
an awkward positionbut the genius of our
leaders and the valor of our troops, with the
favor of Providence, will yet deliver us. The
source of greatest regret is, - that we n pro
bably have to redress the Potomac.

A MiJuiTAfir DiOTATOiisitir.—Tbit the pro
ject of a military dictatorship for the North is
seriously contemplated, there is no loDger room
for doubt. As cumulative evidence of the fact,
we find in a late number of the Memphis Bul
letin the following extract from a Washington
letter.
Many are wiring to iuvaet the President with a
military dictatorship, so that one mind, without so
much dis'racting counsel, • hall infuse new and terrible
eveigy into tho measures to put do^n the rebellion.
A day or two since I attend' d tho ceremonies of rais
ing a flag over a new hospital, a mite east ol the Capi
tol Dr. Sunderl»vd, chaplain of the Senate, and
pastor of oao of the largest new school Presbyterian
churches in Wa hlngton, was the orator. He boldly
proclaimed the sentiments of tho lo;- ul North, that a
new war podey must be inaugurated, or the rebellion
never could be put down. Ho advocated a military
dictatorship in the p rson of the President.
The Yankee Losses in Officers.—Tho Yankees
lost in the engag-mentof Wednesday, Major CenerLl
MansfleH killed, and Genera’s Hooker, Ilartsuff, Dur-
yea, Richardson, Edgwick, French, Sumner, Da; a
Meagher, Ricketts, Weber and Rodman wounded.
The following is a de3Datch from Hooker to McClel
lan after he was wounded:
A great battle has been tonght, and we are victori
ous. I bad the honor to oocn it yesterday afternoon,
and it continued until ten o’clock this morning, when
I was wounded and compelled to quit the field.
The battle was fought with great violence on both
sides.
The carnage has been awful.
I enly 'egret that I was not permitted to take part
in the operations until they were concluded, for L bad
counted on ei'her captaring their army or driving
them into the Potomac.
