says:

still remaining there after twohirds of them had been
removed, lay twice thick upon any other battle
field have ever seen. On piece of ground not ex.
ceeding two hundred yards square, is estimated that
the enemy left between thirteen and fourteen hundred
dead Allowing Ave wounded for every man
killed tbe usual proportion) and it would De safe to
put down their loss in killed aud wounded on this
bloody square of two hundred yards at $500! The
blood may still be in puddes on the ground as in
butchers pen, and the way along which their wound
ed carried back into the town is still rel with
blood, notwithstanding the rain this morning.
Just in front of our line is thin plank fence, behind
which the enemy sought shelter as they advanced up
the hill Some of the planks in this fence were literally
shot away from the posts to which they nailed,
and one can hardly place his hand upon any part Of
them without covering dozen bullet holes. AT the
foot of the stone wall behind which the Confederates
fought, thousands Of fattened musket balls may be
SEEM whilst the hills behind it have been converted into
partial lead mine.
