psburg (or Antietam) The next morning (the 18th) I found that our loss had been so great. and there was so much disorganization in some of the commands, that I did not consider it proper to renew the attack that day, especially as I was sure of the arrival that day of two fresh divisions, amounting to about fifteen thousand men. As an instance of the condition of some of the troops that morning I happen to recollect the returns of the first corps--Gen. Hooker's — made the morning of the 18th, by which there were about 3,500 men reported present for duty. Four days after that the returns of the same corps showed 13,500. I had arranged, however, to renew the attack at daybreak on the 19th, but I learned some time during the night or early in the morning that the enemy had abandoned his position. It after wards proved that he moved with great rapidity. and, not being encumbered by we gone, was enabled to get his troops across the river before we could do him any serious injury.
