rage an immediate rperatior.. Within doors are the sur-
geons. The floor ea. d the tables are covered with blood,.
In a corner lies an art n ; on the floor two surgeons aro am
putating the arm of a "orpor al, who is mercifully insensible
from chloroform. In t he next room is a man of stalwart
form and noble stature. His right hand is shot through
by a rifle ball, and the b ones are protruding. His coat is;
drenched with blood. His right shoulder is torn all to
pieces by a grape shot. . By an almost superhuman effort ha
rifles to his feet, with the help of others, and leaning on a
fello w-soldier, staggers t oward the ambulance. In the
outbuildings are other su .ch scenes. I have heard of the
horrors of the battlefiel I, but these are nothing to the
horrors of the hospital. The glare and excitement is ae-
sent ; the nakedness of w. tr is revealed. To return to the
battle. N.lt only atter the .attack on the front of the work,
a Brig at le, consisting of the 3d New
Hampshire
soh of ti ti
aria cornpanie sof the 3d Rhode Island, ha
moved forward 1. "em our left to attack some works on the
right of the enemy, which w. 3re either a part of the main
work or were smaller - works p. at up to prevent it from being
flanked. The regime uts stru, ggled through a part of the
morass, a-rd pushed on under a fire of sharpshooters in the
thickets beyond. Dislod, sing ti 're sharpshooters they moved
towards the works, and, ur Eder au •ch cover as they could gain,
picked off the gunners. in way they kept the guns
silenced for some 30 mimit whvn field-pieces fro in the
woods in the rear of the works begs
ra to attack them. They
found it impossible to hold their pos. 'lion against these, and.
after sending, without aye l, to entree.
t that they might be
supported, or that a piece 1 'rem Hamill.. in's battery might
be sent to their aid, they w ere forced to .retire with
a loss
which attested the valour t, hey had displayb‘d, and the odds
they had encountered. Lot us return to Steve:la's division.
After remaining a little while under the cover the'first
ridge, the troops were ord,ern d out in front of it. They 1.9 y a
little while in this exposed 1.1
)osition and then were order '
to advance to the cover of the ditch nearest the fort, in. ord. Iv
to be able to defend, if necessary, the Connecticut
B attery, which was advanced to the same point. Jui it as
tho battery was unlimbering, a shell struck one of the hc ,reee
turd seemed absolutely to turn It im inside out. The bat tell
es lntinued to fire for an hour perhaps, using chiefly Scht se-
projectile. Some attempts at the gunners on the we 'rk
wel 'e made by the men with their ,rifles, but I presume wir`h
little effect. By this time it was evident that the day w
lost btlyond redeeming, and the worui was given for the ba to
tery to retire. As soon as this was safely out of the wane
the troops" were commanded to retreat, removing all the;
dead and -;\ rounded so tar as this could be effected. The
troops retir. Id for the most part in good order. I saw the
7th Connect, eut halt to dress and correct the alignment
within, win '1:15, 1,000 yards of the battery, and then re-
tire with a wrel,l-preserved battalion front, ,as if on parade.
the day was utter 'ly lost. It only remained to' get away the
dead and woundec; as far as possible, and to remove the arms
that had been thresN'll down by the wounded, or drel ,Ped
from the hands of th e dying. Two surgeons ol one of the
regiments, with the hor.lyital orderly, followed by men •weith
stretchers, traversed the Jeld of battle, venturing to within
rifle range of the fort. They were not molested i "rem tike
fort, but a 6.pounder from one of the flank earti‘worlks
threw a shot near them. The troops then retired. G. meral
Stevens was among the last to leave the field. The h,' %no
was fired, I suppose, because we had been &el upon ft Sera
it. The e,tiemy were seen for the first time during the lei
coming out of the works, and picking up the dead a act
wounded up, qn the field, apparently with care. In Jot Ik-
ing back upon the morning's work, there was but one fe
ture on which we could look with anything but the bittere st
regret. That wos the heroic bravery displayed by th o
troops with hardly FA n exception. I say hardly, forl ought,,
I think, to except t. 11.1 46th New York. I have no doubt
that these countrym ell of the great Frederick are indivi-
dually brave, to reckl.wlsness, but there is an utter want of
morale, a disorganization among them that renders them.
utterly useless on any c. ritical occasion. Losing their heads,
they discharged their g 'aria among eur own men. They
ran by dozens from the field, uncontrolled by appeals or
threats. The magnitude of the loss attests the severity of
the encounter and the bra.very of our men. There were
engaged Stevens's Division. of six regiments, two regiments
of Williams's Brigade, and two batteries. The regiments
did not carry into action; more than from 550 to 600 men
each. The two batteries nun rber perhaps 200 men."
