Sharpsburg and Hagerstown turnpike, and was
met by Gen d. H. Hills and the left of Gen.
Longstreet's divisions, where the conflict ragged,
| extending to our entire left. The enemy was re-
pulsed and held in check; but prior to the arrival
of the divisions of McLaws Anderson and
Walker, who had been advanced to support the
left wing and centre, as soon they had crossed
the Potomac on the morning Of the 17th, that
portion of our line forced bacl by superior
numbers. AS soon, however, as these forces could
| be brought into action, severe conflict ensued.
The enemy was driven back, our line was restored,
and our position maintained during the rest of the
day
In the afternoon the enemy advanced our
right, where Gen. Jacksons division was posted,
and he handsomely maintained his position. The
bridge over the Antietam creek was guarded by
Gen Toombs' brigade, which gallantly resisted the
approach of the enemy; but their superior num-
bers enabling them to extend their left, they
crossed below the bridge and forced our line back
in confusion. Just this time, between
and P. NJ, Gen. A. P. Hill, with five of his
brigades, having reached the scene of action
drove the enemy Immediately back from the
position they had taken, and continued the con-
test until dark restoring our right and maintain
ing our ground.
When the battle closed, after having ragged
furiously during the entire day, We retained pos
session of the field and the enemy retired to his
former position.
Our loss was considerable Gen. Branch Of n.
c. and Gen Starke of Miss, were killed, and Gems
R H Anderson, Wright, Lawton Armstead, Rip
ley and Ransom, wounded though not dangerously.
We learn from persons who left the field, that
Gen Lee held the field on Thursday, and took
measures to renew the engagement, but the enemy
had disappeared from his front. After removing
the wounded and burying the dead, Gen Lee re-
crossed the Potomac and established his head
quarters at or near Shepherdstown.

The Richmond Enquirer gives the following
further particulars of the fight at Sharpburg, Md,
on September 10Th and 17th:
We have the qualification of being able to an

INCIDENTS,

"Pcrsonne," the army correspondent Of the
Charleston Courier mentions the fact that our sol.
diers were in the habit of supplying their own ur-
gent want of shoes &c, by stripping them from
the feet Of the dead yankees, who certainly had
further for them Personne says, off you
could bare footed and ragged men, you
might think there was a virtue in stealing
from defunct enemy" And he adds "Among
the amusing occurrences of this kind, it is related
of soldier belonging to the Eight Alabama Regi.
ment, that he found yankee in the woods, but
being separated from his regiment, did not know
what to do with him. While soliloquizing, the
officer who gave me the incident rode by, aud his
advice being asked, he told the soldier he had bet
ter let the prisoner go. "Well," said the Alaban-
ian, 81 reckon l will but look here, yankee, you
can't leave till you've given me of them good
clothes. Strip! / want your boots and breech-
es." The yankee protested against any such indig
nifty, and appealed to the officer to protect him.
The Alabamian also plead his cause. "Here's this
fellow, said he, "come down here robbing of our
people, and he's stayed so long it's no moren right
he should pay for his board. / don't want him to
go round in his bar legs any more'n he wants to;
and l mean to give him my old clothes" "a fair
exchange is no robbery" replied the officer, "and
as you have no shoes and mighty poor pair of
pants, / reckon you had better help YOURSELF"
"Now, yankee, you hear what the boss says, do
yer; off with your traps and let's trade. The last
thing my friend saw, he rode away, was the
two worthless, in their "bar legs, stripping for
exchange"

B9~Thc Peace Society of London has issued an
address to the people of the United States, urging
that the time has come when attempt should be
made to arrest the destructive conflict that is now
being carried on. 1t deprecates any interference
with American affairs. but such as would prove
acceptable to Americans; but says Surely, the
idea of friendly meditation may be entertained
without any derogaticn of national dignity" 1t
argues that there only two alternatives to issue
out of the war-either the utter extermination Of
of the parties to it, or some form of accommoda
ticn and compromise between the contendiug sides
1t asks ais it not better to have recourse to the
latter at once before the feelings of the North and
South become hopelessly infamed with the most
bitter animosity and vengeance ?"

n0- A correspondent of the Washington Star,
speaking of the conduct Of some of the people of
Maryland after the Confederate Army Withdrew
from Frederick City, says:
'That there exists strong Union sentiment in
Maryland, Capt. David says that there can be no
doubt After the rebel army left and the Federal
army had entered, farmers came in voluntarily
from all sections Of the country around, aud gave
information as to the whereabouts of the Con.
federates-That moro to the point, snd best
evidence of their Unionisn, they told the truth in
every instance. The citizens of Frederick City,
too made preparations to receive aud entertain
the Federal soldiers the best Of their ability,
and spread before them such food as they had,
and had water ready to aIlay their thirst. All
the stores that had been closed On the approach
oftke Secession Army were opened TO the Unlonsts,
and the only question that appeared TO concern
the people whether the Union army strong
enough to prevent the Secessionists from retakug
the place"
I'VE do not think MARYLAND will belong the
Confederacy and there's no use of fBssing about It,
A CONSPIRACY The New York Herald has
discovered conspiracy among politicians of the \
Abolition stamp to depose the yirtuons aud

the head of affairs. We venture to predict, that
if they could succeed in their purpose the Herald
would be the first toswing lis hat for the newcomer

RAPE.-One Of the most disgusting and
brutal affairs of this kind that we were ever
called upon to record took place on Saturday
last. II appears that lad, about l8 years Of
ago, named Mortimer Peck, succeeded in
enticing little girl named Isabella Clark
into the new Presbyterian Church, on the
corner Of Ninth and Madison. streets, under
pTGJeuet Vi RetduB ueT u OdsheJ Iull ol sudN'
| ings. When once inside the building, he
fastened the doors, and by dint of threats
and violence succeeded in accomplishing a
most brutal outrage upon her person.
A preliminary trial of the accused took
place this morning before the Mayor Several
! parties among Others, DIR. John Wise, testi-
| fed ss to the il ljuries the child had received,
| which were OF most serious character
After full hearing of the case, his Honor
remandtd the prisoner to jail-bail not being
receivable in the case-to await his tril
before the Circuit Court. What makes the
crime more hiGeous, is the fact that the cir
is only eight years of age. We believe that
the punishment for this crime in the STATE
OF Kentucky when committed upon CHILD
under ten years of age, is death.
FELL OvERBoARD.-A young man, whost
name we could not learn, in attempting t
jump from the ferryboat to the float abou
