"Fight them with Rocks."

--A member of the 15th Alabama regiment, writing about the battle of Sharpsburg to the Columbus (Ga.) Sun, says:

‘ After using up all our ammunition, we asked to retire find fill our cartridge boxes, but General D. H. Hill would not let us do so; ordered us to hold the position, without a single cartridge, and to fight them with rocks ! We were in an open field, exposed to a cross fire of artillery and a front fire of small arms, and had to like and take it.
