d two o'clock, I was ordered, with several other batteries under the charge of Gen. J. E. B. Stewart, on the extreme left, so as to drive the Yankees from a position which our forces had vainly tried repeatedly to do several times before.

The town of Harper's Ferry was not destroyed or molested by the rebels, or the citizens disturbed. From the headquarters of M'Clellan — the Federal losses at Sharpsburg, &c. Stuart has been making another raid. A dispatch from the Federal headquarters, dated the 21st, says he crossed the Potomac, Friday night with a regiment of infantry and seventeen pieces of artillery. Nothing is stated of what he did, but it is said he recrossed into Virginia next morning. The dispatch adds: The work of burying the dead is still continuing. They average about one thousand per day. Tomorrow will probably finish it. The Maryland Heights were yesterday occupied by a Nati
