I On the 9Th We marched to this place, and
on the 9Th to Hagerstown, where we had q
very severe engagement. We drove, the
enemy out Of the town, aud held il three
hours, when the rebels were reinforced by
Gen. Hoad's division. aud We were oblig-
ed to fall back on Gen. Buford's division,
who were engaged with the enemy at Will
Transport We fought over every foot of
ground between Hagerstown and williams
porte The rebels charged our battery six
times, but we succeeded in bringing It of
each time! Every time they charged they
4 were met with grape and canister, which
invariably piled the road so full of dead
1 men and horses as 70 check them. "
The first Virginia and fifth MY. cavalry
supported the battery the whole way, hence
wewere exposed to nusketry all the time,
1 andlost q great many men. When within
mile of WilliRmsp0rt, the rebels opened
| up battery from that side; batteries in
front, batteries IN the rear, and the field
filed With their infantry, made our posi-
tion, ,--well, gery uncomfortable We NOV
ed off to the right and joined Gen. Buford's
forces between WilliamsPort aud Antietam
creek. M. ,.l ~ I.f.f ..IaE s5f
On the 7th We learned that the enemy iu-
tended to take possession of South Noun
tain Gap, which would protect their forces
fIom an attack on their left, while crossing
the river; but Gen. Fitzpatrick "couldn't
see it," hence we moved up 90 this place.
to hold them in check until our infantry
corps could move from Frederick
City, Yesterday their whole force moved
up, and we (Gen, Buford's and Gen. Kill
patrick's commands) became engaged at
noon and fought till sundown, When they
(the rebels) were forced to fall back. Our
cavalry charged upon the rear aud cap
tured a number of prisoners, The casual
ties on our side was two killed and thirty
Eve wounded. Three corps of infantry
came in at dark, and presume the rebels
will have frouble in crossing into Yirginin.
I think it scarcely worth while here to
speak of the tact and bravery of our brig
ade commanders.g AS for Col. Richmond,
his generals thanked him for the manner
In which he commanded. He is ever where
duty calls. .arasf, ~ LIE ID.
