The rebel army has succeeded in making its
escape from Maryland. They commenced to
leave about dusk Thursday evening and by day
light yesterday morning were all over, except a
small rear guard. They saved all their trans pOr-
tation, and5carried off all Of their wounded but
about 500.
Between three and four hundred rebel strag-
glers were taken during the day by Pleasanton's s
cavalry who took the advance.
Nearly every house in ShaTpsburg was struck
by our shells. Two were burnt. Citizens who
remained escaped injury by staying in their eel
lars.
The name given to this battle is the Antietam.
Aner our forces occupied the whole field the reb-
ell loss found to be far greater, particularly in
killed, than was at first supposed. Full $500
we're found lying on the field, while large num-
Der had been buried the day before by their
friends. Their loss in killed and wounded will
not come far from 5000 to 10000. General Clark,
ofthe rebel army is killed, and General Ripley
Walker and Hays wounded.
The rebels Thursday night burnt the railroad
bridge and several houses at Harper's Ferry.
The citizens of Sandy Hook we're fleeing into
the country on Thursday night to escape being
impressed into the rebel service and carried into
Virginia.
Large details of men were made this morning
to bury the remaining dead which had become
offensive. The troops are in excellent spirits
over the results The rebels are still visible on
the opposite shore in force. They have posted
a large amount of artillery to prevent our forces
from crossing the river. Officers OF this army

FREDERICK. sept. 20.
gentleman who let BOonesboro' last night,
says that the firing wOs between our and the reb-
el batteries across the river, the latter endeav-
oring TO prevent our pursuit at the river banks.
Many conflicting reports we're received here
during the day, Of skirmtshing with the rear
guard Of the enemy who are in full flight for the
Potomac.
A gentleman who left McClellan's headquar-
ters before the General started informed me
that at O'Clock Burnside had crossed the Pu-
tOmac and was harTassing the rebels rear.
The latest reports received, are, that the rebels
we're forced to destroy a large portion Of their
trains, and spike and abandon much of their ar
tillery to prevent it falling into our hands, so
closely were they pursued by the linton army.
Mcclellan rode out towards the front at II o'clock
and was loudly and enthusiastically cheered by
the troOpsas he rode along.
