icers of the First Maryland regiment who participated in the engagement, giving their account of the same, and that of Lieut. Atwell, commanding the battery.

Editors of the Baltimore American: According to promise I give you a brief account of the battle of Friday, the twenty-third day of May. Having been relieved from picket duty on the morning of the battle, I was lounging about in my tent, between two and three o'clock P. M., when a negro man came riding into camp much excited, stating that the rebels had taken the town--Front Royal. Our camp was about a mile and a quarter from the town. I went out to see the negro and comm

The combined divisions of Major-Generals Jackson and Ewell, constituting a portion of this army, and commanded by the former, attacked and routed the Federal forces, under Major-Gen.

The Federal army has been dispersed and ignominiously driven from the Valley of the Shenandoah, and those who have freed the loyal citizens of that district by their patriotic valor, have again earned, as they will receive, the thanks of a grateful country. In making this glorious announcement, on the eve of the memorab

The men are entitled to bounty, but must furnish their own arms and equipments so far as possible, and the mo
