orts the loss in Smith's division at 1,233, and in Longstreet's Gen. McClellan says that Hill estimates his loss at 2,500, and adds this number to the above total, making in all 6,733: but it is evident that Johnston includes Hill's loss in that of Longstreet, who was in command of both divisions. at about 3,000; total, 4,233; saying nothing of any loss sustained by Huger. Among his killed were Gen. Robert Hatton, of Tenn. ; Cols. Lomax, 3d Ala., Jones, 12th Ala., Giles, 5th S. C., and Lightfoot, 22d N. C.; while, beside himself, Gens. Rhodes and Garland, with Cols. Goodwin, 9th Va., and Wade Hampton, S. C., were wounded. He also lost Gen. Pettigrew and Col. C. Davis, of S. C., and Col. Long, taken prisoners. He claims to have taken 10 guns, 6,000 muskets, and several hundred prisoners — an expression which the number of our wounded who fell into his hands must have fully justified. He probably took few others, and no officer of distinction. Gen. McClellan reports our total

e fight began two hours before, neither side having yielded an inch. The enemy of course fought with great bravery. In this fight we have given but a few of the casualties. Colonel Wade Hampton was slightly wounded in the foot, Dr. E. S. Gallard, Medical Director to General Smith's corps, was severely wounded in the arm. It was amputated yesterday. Ie was a surgeon well known throughout the army, very able and much respected. Col. Giles, of the Fifth South-Carolina, was killed, also Col. Lightfoot, of the Twenty-second North-Carolina. Undoubtedly another day will give us the movements of particular brigades and regiments not now obtained. Up to this time the enemy have been held in check at this battle-field, our troops merely falling back a short distance to gain a better position. To return to the right. During the night Gens. Hill and Longstreet were reinforced by Huger's division. The enemy also were largely reinforced. Early in the morning the fight was renewed. Gen.

. Whilst this was transpiring in front, the enemy made an attack in force on my left and rear. This attack was met by the Twelfth Alabama, Colonel Pickens, Colonel Lightfoot, of the Sixth Alabama, with a small portion of his regiment, and some troops of Nichols's brigade, skilfully placed by General Iverson, and sustained againstrs. Captain W. T. Renfro, commanding the right wing of the Fifth Alabama, after Colonel Hobson had been wounded, brought in two hundred and twenty-five, and Colonel Lightfoot, of the Sixth Alabama, one hundred and five. Among the prisoners was Colonel Packer, Fifth Connecticut, and several other officers. We captured three piece and Phelan, was ordered to move along the road and perpendicular to it, and was the battalion of direction; and the other regiments — the Sixth, under Lieutenant-Colonel Lightfoot and Major Gordon; the Twelfth, under Colonel Pickens and Captain Proskauer; the Twenty-sixth, under Lieutenant-Colonel Garvin and Major Bryan, and the

me, called to me from his ranks: That is the enemy; shall we fire? I replied: Don't be in a hurry; Don't fire upon friends. At the instant a puff of wind spread out the Federal flag, and I added, There is no mistake; give them h — l, boys! thus giving orders most strangely to a regiment which was not under my command to begin the fight. The enemy was soon scattered and disappeared from the field. I have not been able, after much investigation, to discover his name or number. Lieutenant-Colonel Lightfoot, of the Sixth North Carolina, claims that his regiment united with us in one of the charges on the enemy's guns and to have suffered severely. It was on this charge, I presume, that Colonel Fisher was killed, as he fell some one hundred and fifty yards in advance of his original line of battle. When driven back from the enemy's guns neither the North Carolinians nor Mississippians remained to renew the charge, but incontinently left the field. I was thus again on the left of

scovered it, without visible cause to me, retreating in confusion. I hastened to intercept it at the Hagerstown road. I found though that with the exception of a few men, . . . not more than 40 in all, the brigade had disappeared from this portion of the field. This small number, together with some Mississippians and North Carolinians, about 150 in all, I rallied and stationed behind a small ridge leading from the Hagerstown road. When, by this misunderstanding between Rodes and Lt.-Col. Lightfoot, Rodes's brigade abandoned this sunken road, —ever since known as The Bloody Lane,—Lee's army was ruined and the end of the Confederacy was in sight. Even the rank and file in the 5th corps, looking on from across the Antietam, saw and appreciated the situation. Now is the time was a general comment. McClellan, from his headquarters at the Fry house, looked on, but he did not come and he issued no order. The gap left by Rodes was speedily filled by the encouraged Federals, and now
