The next morning we took up the line of march for Darkesville, near which place we remained until the 20th, when we returned to Martinsburg, where we rested during the night.

After waiting several hours in Salem on the morning of the 8th to ascertain the position and movements of the enemy, and thinking it probable from the best information I could obtain that he would await our coming in his chosen position on the Ripley road, I moved off with the main body of my command toward Colliersville, leaving Lieutenant-Colonel Slovis, with the First regiment Mississippi partisans, to watch the movements of the enemy, with instructions to fall back and join me.

Hill, with less than 10,000 men, held McClelland's army in check all day. On the 15th, Stonewall Jackson, with 9,793 Confederates, captured over 11,000 Federals, more than 70 cannon, several thousand horses, and all of their small arms, colors and equipments! On the 15th, Lee took position at Sharpsburg, with 17,460 infantry and15th, Lee took position at Sharpsburg, with 17,460 infantry and several thousand cavalry and artillery, while McClellan's army confronted him on the line of the Antietam. On the 16th, about 3 P. M., McClellan assaulted Lee with the three corps of Hooker, Mansfield and Sumner, which were so severely punished, that McClellan tells us that about the middle of the afternoon he went in person to the scene and found the aspect of affairs anything but promising ; in fact, they were driven from the field by Lee in utter confusion.
