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 l of manner as he may often appear, yet t is more k< * ' ‘ •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 town'as a guard,) Hood’s and other divisions in aEalnet Harper’s Ferry, where tho enemy had between eight and ten thousand troops, which It was their purpose to capture* 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.

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.

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. El W. A. aj=gn=cte^.-> -rrtnsm ttP’B’lOIA-L. ■ Proceedings of Council. ii lin »M8 consignees.

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 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. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
