Belton, commanding; the Twenty-second Massachusetts, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel W. S. Tilton, and the Second Maine, Colonel C. W.

He accordingly gave me the order for that purpose, and desired that Major Hayes, with the Eighteenth Massachusetts, then drawn up in the road, should take position near but below the top of the ridge, which ran, in its general direction, parallel to the road, and on the left. Major Hayes immediately proceeded to occupy that position. The Twenty-fifth New-York, Colonel Johnson, and the Thirteenth New-York, Colonel Marshall, having crossed and formed in the road, were directed to take a similar position on the right of Major Hayes; but to reach which, it was necessary to pass beyond the ravine by which the Eighteenth Massachusetts had ascended to another ravine a few rods distant, the interval forming a rocky bluff, nearly perpendicular, up which it was impracticable to advance.

the Eighteenth Massachusetts had ascended to another ravine a few rods distant, the interval forming a rocky bluff, nearly perpendicular, up which it was impracticable to advance. By this time the One Hundred and Eighteenth Pennsylvania, Colonel Prevost, had crossed the ford and formed in the road. They were directed to follow the Thirteenth and Twenty-fifth New-York, and to take a similar position below the top of the ridge, and to their left. They accordingly followed those regiments, as above described, on the left of the brigade, where I then was, and at once despatched the orderly to convey the same instructions to those upon the right of the line. I immediately followed him to prevent mistake. On my way thither I met Colonel Prevost, of the One Hundred and Eighteenth Pennsylvania, retiring from the field, disabled by a severe wound in the shoulder. I passed rapidly on to the ground occupied by his regiment, and repeated the orders to retire in good order. This order h

s soon as the Eighteenth Massachusetts had crossed the ford it was drawn up in order, on the road running below the bluffs toward Shepherdstown, under command of Major Hayes. At this moment, and before the other regiments had crossed, Brigadier-General Sykes, who had previously crossed the river, and whose command consisted, as I was informed, of about eight hundred men, then in advance toward the west, came to me with the information that the enemy were in strong force about two miles in hing forces it was difficult for them to avoid some damage to our own troops. Some of their shot and shell struck in our rear, and some of the casualties of the day may be attributed to that source. It was soon perceived that the command of General Sykes, on our left, was retiring, and they had marched nearly to the foot of the hill, when I received orders to retire in good order, and to recross the river. I immediately gave the necessary orders to fall back, to the regiments posted, as abov
