THE BATTLE GROUND OF SUNDAY.-Ihe
Confederate position was on the sides and
summit of the Blue Ridge Mountains on each
side Of the Gap, known as Frog Gap, through
which the main road on the turnpike, from
Middletown to Hagerstown, passes The zap
is distant from Middletown about three miles,
and from Frederick twelve miles. Boonsboro,
henext IMPORTANT Gown to Middletown on the
turnpike, is TWO miles from the Gap, on the
other side Of the mountain. The mountains
in the vicinity Of the Gap are steep and rug
ged, and rendered difficult 20 ascend unless by
the ordinary thoroug hfares, on account OF nu-
uerous lodges and loose rocks, which afford no
permanent foothold. From base TO top they
are covered with thick wood, thereby giving
protection to the party in possession, and MAX
ing The progress Of the attacking force doubLy
hazardous. Bvlivar, village Boosting Of six
or eight dwellings, is situated on the mainroad,
between Middletown and the Gap, and about
one and q half miles from the latter place. Al
Bolivar, q road branches off from each side Of
the main road, the TWO roads taking circuit
Gus course to the mountains, and gradually IS
cending them, join the main read again at the
Gao. The early position Of the Federal army,
or where the line Of battle was first formed,
was on piece of rising ground on the right
and left Of the main road between Bolivar and
the mountains. AS the day advanced, the
Federal forces moved forward, and pushed the
Confederates, in severely contested BATTLE up
the side Of the mountain and over the crest,
to the descending slope on the other side

admiration Of everybody, richly deserves the

deadly fray, his coat tails were torn entirely on

CAPTAIN William Brown placed the bottle on
the table again, and says he:
AT which joint we're the tails amputated,
Samyule?"
Samyule took little more sugar with his,
and says he
"Close TO the buttons. *
