our fighting and generalship. There was
much more than that displayed on Wednes-
day, when they say it was hand to hand con-
test for every inch of ground, displaying no
skillful man9uvering compared to Sundays
battle.
Lieut.. Col. Dwight died at Middetown yes
terday, from wounds in the battlefield. He
expired in yard of house with congress-
man Train by his side; his body will be sent
direct to Boston.
DIR. Letterman, the medical director here,
estimates our loss in killed, wounded and mis-
sing in both battles, is over 1900.
Thesurgeon General arrived to-day to whom
he reported that force of 1000 rebel prisoners
were sent to Baltimore to-day. The entire
10000 paroled prisoners captured at Harper's
Ferry commenced their march across the
country to-day en- route for Annapolis.
The gallant and indomtable Gen. Hooker is
able to be about, though the wound in his foot
is severe enough to prevent him from taking
the field at present. All of our generals re-
gard Sundays fight as the best planned and
best fought battle of the war, though the enc
my's advantage was very great in the position
held on the mountains. All the new regiments
acted like veteran soldiers.
The 126th New York and New Jersey regi-
ment, but two weeks in the field, made bayo-
net charge in less than forty minutes after
they got into action on Wednesday, driving
the rebels more than mile.

Last week was the week of Battles Up to
Its commencement our loyal troops were fall
ing back and retreating before the rebels
At its close the scene had changed and the
stars and stripes were victorious, and the reb-
els were flying before our triumphant army.
Definite particulars have been received only
in small installments, but enough is known to
show that the rebels are now the retreating,
and the Union army the pursuing party. So
much is cheering. The slaughter has been
terrible, no doubt. The loss of general officers
is almost fearful Some of the most gallant
spirits of the army have participated in their
last conflict
And will these victories be followed up?
Have we the means to follow them up? These
questions will be the more satisfactorily an
swered when it is remembered that the great
battles OF the last week were fought by the
old troops; that three hundred of fresh troops
are already mustered into the service, who
were not largely participants in that weeks
work, while threehundred thousan d-the nine
months men-are either mustered or soon will
be, as reserve. Who can doubt, then, that
our advantage will be followed up; that light
beams through the parting clouds, and that
the beginning of glorious end is approach
ing?

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.
Intelligence from the front is at hand to-
night. Gen. Stoneham's forces occupy Har-
per's Ferry. Three hundred sick and wound
ed rebel soldiers were found there.
Gen. Lees army in quite large forces cross
ed the Potomac Thursday night, at Canal Dam
No. 4, in Pleasant Valley, between the mouth
Of Antictam Creek and Harper's Ferry, while
another column crossed at ohepardstown.
Thes troops are represented by stragglcrs
to be in most dsorganized condition, dspir-
tied and half starved. 1t is probable that we
shall catch several thousand stragglers and
horses.
Many are in fear that the rebel army will
make a halt at Winchester, and endeavor to
retrieve their condition which according to
accounts is most deplorable.
1t is intimated to-day that the meeting of
Governors of loyal States at Altoona, Pa, on
the oath, will be postponed in consequence of
the recent Union victories.
Several hundred OF Col. Miles command
We're standing drawn up in the town of Har-
pers Ferry, ready to surrender and be paroled
Their JOY knew no bounds when they discov-
cred that we had retaken the place. The loss
in re-taking Harper's Ferry, was slight and it
was evident that the rebels only captured the
town in order to secure passage South, on
the approach of the National troops.

Inc Inquirer OF this city received tonight
the following special dispatch from Frederick:
Il am just in from the front of the army The
rebels succeeded in crossing their entire army
at Bachiord, three miles east of Sharpsburg
between the hours of nine O'Clock on Thursday
night and day-break on Friday morning. This
morning we were engaged in shelling the woods
on the opposite bank of the river, preparatory
to crossing. Tho rebels have planted batteries
at Williamsport on the opposite side of the
Potomac, to prevent the right wing of our ar
my from crossing. The roads are lined with
the guns, haversacks, and blankets of the reb-
els. We caused great slaughter among them.

ney OF this city, now at Harrisburg:

Special dispatch to Sunday Herald:


MIDDLEToWN, Va. Sept. 20,
There has been no fighting since Wednes-
day except skirmishing with the enemy's rear
Thursday morning there was no flag of truce,
nor armistice, but by mutual consent it was
supposed that the enemy was engaged as we
Were, in burying their dead, but late on Thurs
day evening heavy explosions were heard on
our right, and quite a conflagration was
visible. 1t was then discovered that instead
of burying their dead the enemy had taken
advantage OF the cessation of hostilities to re-
treat, leaving them all unbured
Congressman Chas Il. Train, of Gen. Cor
don's staff, and other officers went to the bat
tle-ied, and rode over it. The most horrible
scene met their view, and The odor from it
rendered their stay necessarily very tempor-
airy. They found an officer wearing Major
Generals straps lying dead, while the loss of
other rebel officers was seen to be immensely
large TO say nothing of thousands of privates.
The destruction.of property was very large.
Whole army trains of artillery and carriages,
forage, provisions, &c, had been burned, the
enemy being unable to take them away His
columns moved towards Harper's Ferry, and
our cavalry was sent in full pursuit as soon as
the retreat was discovered.
1t is believed that two divisions have sue
ceeded in crossing several miles above the
Ferry, but the capture of several thousand
prisoners ere night fall is most certain. as
Burnside is on their left and close upon the
rebels.
The officers we have taken say that their
defeat has been most terrible. and they curse
the hour they ever entered Maryland. They
regard their defeat on Sunday as most over
whelming, and declare that our victory there
is the most brilliant of the war. They praise
