This lacks miles of being four-sevenths Of the

The 4th in the Battle of Antietam

Tue Freeman publishes the following
from Robert Coffey, who is sergeant in
Co. X, 4th reg, dated near Harpers Ferry,
Sept. 2Oth:-
My regiment you probably have seen
has covered itself with honor by its splen-
did bayonet charge and conduct in the
battle of Buckhartsyille. We were the
only one of the Vermont Regiments that
was in the battle. We were sent to turn
the left flank of the enemy, which was
posted at the foot of high and steep
hill, and covered by stone wall. By
the bayonet charge we drove them from
behind the wall, where we captured part
Of the regiment. After we got to the top
of the hill VIC were ordered to move to the
left and take battery of artillery, if
possible, which was on the top of the hill
about u mile from where we gained the
top. My company was sent in advance
and was dcployed across the top of the
hill to protect the rest of the regiment.

troops are advancing on another, to pre-.
vent them from being suddenly sur.

Mr. EDIToR.-I presume every one in

here. The full details of the three days

we passed through, and that perhaps
would not be interesting to all The 9th
were not under fire until Sunday, when a
general cannonading was opened from
Loudon Heights, directly in front of our
camp, and distance about | IL miles.
The position of the rebels was very much
highes than ours, and the advantage they
held was soon manifest. Our batteries
replied promptly, and at times completely
silenced theirs The left wing of the 9th
were out on Picket and after noon bat
terry opened on the west side of our camp,
and those on picket were directly in range
of both. our batteries and the rebels.
The shell burst over our heads, and around
us, the pieces flying in all directions, but
doing no damage to us. At dusk the reb-
ell infantry drove in our pickets, but be-
ing strengthened by the Sd Nd, and the
right wing of the 9th, they were rcpulsed,
and the pickets and men took possession
of their old position.
Through the night we were continually
on the alert, and shots were exchanged
frequently. At daybreak we were called
in, and the 9th once more, nearly all got
together, and we're drawn in line in front
Of our batteries. At five o'clock, A. NJ
Monday, the ball opened in earnest. Tht
rebels had advanced their batteries t.
within short distance of ours, and from
several different positions they sent thei
messengers in copious psofusion. From
four of their positions the shot and shell
fell among the ranks of the 9th, which a

then tumbled off the damaged cars into

them together, picked up our dead, and
started back for Algiers. The regiment
sent from the city was at Boutte, waiting
for us. The captains and men wanted to

9th was then called up and all found to
be alive, although some got few scratch
es. Not another regiment was to be
seen on the field, and we wereyery highly
complimented for our bravery by the act
ing Brigadier Gen., Col. Trumble of the
Goth Ohio. Col. Stannard displayed his
GOODNESS and bravery to all, telling the
boys if they would obey his commands
he would see them through safe. His
military knowledge probably saved the
lives of many The Col. wrung his hands
and showed outwardly the deep feelings
Of anguish he felt at the surrender, but
the boys thought most anything better
than laying under such fire as the reb-
els had poured upon us for three hours
previous, still they would have done any
thing asked of them by our brave and no.
bic Col. AS near as we could learn, the
boys on our side in the three days fight
was about $50 killed and wounded. The
rebels admitted their loss at near four
times that number in killed. After the
capitulation, the Gray backs entered the
place and such sight of ragged, dirty
looking men we never saw before. They
treated US gentlemanly in almost every
instance, allowing us to take all our pri-
vate effects, that we asked for. Gen.
Jackson was there, and when he rode
through, among his men they cheered as
heartily as ours would at the sight of
i" Little Mac" How many rebels there
were there, is mere conjecture but there
was certainly five or ten, where we had
one.
Such advantage as they held over us
on Monday, could not be overcome by us
at so late day, but many think that we
should have held Maryland and Loudon
Heights, at any peril. Who is to blame
for all this, we do not pretend to know,
but there was u spoke loose somewhere, is
apparent to every one. Thirteen regi-
ments, were made prisoners, numbering
l2,0G0 men as we are told. We we're re-
leased Tuesday, and passed out of the
rebel lines at II, NJ. that day. We
marched all the way from the Ferry here,
arriving Sunday night at dark. We have
no tents, but fare very we'll otherwise.
We found larger number already here

ALeIERs, Sept. 18th, 1862.
We have had rather bad luck the past
week. There are now about 200 of our
men in the hands of the rebels, and about
20 killed and 80 or 40 wounded. We
have had three companies stationed about
80 miles up the river at Des Allemandes.
There was also small battery there, of 2
brass cannon and two rifed cannon. These
were given us by Gen. Butler. Three
men were detailed from each company
80 in alias batterymen. The cars run
up there every day. to carry rations to the
companies and generally quite number
from each company would ride up and
back for pleasure. There are several sta
tions between here and Des Allemandes,
where they stop to wood up. About ten
days ago. when they were running up,
they stopped at Bouttc station to water,
and while stopping, five negroes who we're
chopping in the woods, came and told the
engineer there would be trouble. before
many days. He reported to the Colonel,
and thought it unsafe to run up, but the
Col. ordered 80 men from each of three
companies, and one-half of the battery, to
take train that was there. and come
down part way, to meet and protect the
train that was going up. They had done
SO each day, till last week Tuesday, and
had that day got down about y miles, to
Boutte station, and were going very slow,
and saw no signs of the enemy. The cars
were open, built for carrying wood and
timber, the battery being on the forward
car. They had got partly by the enemy,
when they were fred upon from the houses
and bushes each side of the road. The
batterymen were all shot down but one
He jumped to the cannon, and attempted
to fire, but was shot dead on the spot The
cars came in with six dead, and 10 or | z
wounded, and about 80 were left on the
road, in the hands of the rebels. Quit,
