Abel Smullcy, slight, in the head.
My L., Lieut., Geo. s, Smith, go, his
lclt cyc shot out, and his len cheeh bone
shot away, there is some hope of his re-
covcry,
Lieut.. Barnes, of Company u, was
wounded in tho top Of the head, and I
think will get well, but some doubts. Al
so Lieut. Harper Bill, Of Company k,wos
shot dead. Lieut.. Thompson, OF Compn-
ny +, had both eyes shot out, think he
will die. lie is from Fremont, Ohio
Many other officers were wounded, also
Imany ofthe difItrcn, companies Of the
s,h, which have not the time now to
give their names.
There Is few cfr'y company was not
touched, or hurt in the least. George
Baughcr was through oil the fight, aud
came out without scratch he fought
like a tiger, and was one OF the lucky
ones. Our hospitals Oro pitcous sights,
so many wounded and are laying there
in agony.
We have sent to Washington and
Frederick to get shovcls TO bury the dead.
The scccth dead are mono Of them bur
rel and they make horrid scent; too
bad to stand. We arc so near the battle
ground, that the emcl Of the dead is
almost suffocating. The number is 80
grca, that it will be three days yet be-
fore the scccsh are all buried. Mono OF
them are yet buried, and the stencil OF
them aud the horses is horiid One whole
battery is killed, 30 horses, just above US,
aud in every direction you so, dead de-
ccsh are piled UP.
can't give the number Of their loss
or ours, hut it is immense. Fighting on
a line u miles long and 100000 on a
side. Supposed to be the greatest battle
yet fought
can't write any more at present, 50
good night.
Yours, &c,
