And pToridcd further, That any person held as

and Brockenbrough hold the extreme right.
Then come the brigades of Branch, Gregg and
Archer, joining Toombs and ID. r. Jones. From
o'clock till the sun goes down the battle RACES
in the fields south of Sharpsburg.
Burnside almost reaches the town, but his
left hank-Rodman's divisions exposed. A.
p. Hill attacks it sharply, and the troops are
obliged TO fall back towards the Antietam.
Through the night they rest on their arms.
Morning dawns. The cannon begins to thun-
der; but Mcclellan issues no orders to attack.
Whether to renew the attack on the 18th
or to defer it. even with the risk of the enemy s
retirement, was aquestion with me, " says Gen
eral Mcclellan.
In few hours he would have several thou
sand re-enforcements, and he decided not to at
tack. Lee sent ii fac OF truce, with the request
that hostilities might be suspended till the
wounded lying in the fields between the two
armies could be cared for. The day passed,
neither army renewing the attack, but through
the night the Union picllets could hear the
tramping of feet, the rumble of cannon wheels
growing fainter in the distance, and mistrusted
what the morning reyealed-that the Confed-
crates were retreating.
When the sun rose once more not Confed-
crate was to be seen-all were south of the
Potomac.
Again Mcclellan had lost great opportunity.
he gave orders for the army to advance. The
various corps pushed on to Sharpsburg.
General Porters corps, which might have
rendered signal service had it been used at
the right moment at Rulet's house, hurried
down TO the Potomac, forded the river and
formed on the southern shore, but found itself
confronted by the Confederate artillery. The
soldiers advanced, but were driven with great
loss When they could have done great good
they were not used; when they were used
they could accomplish nothing. So the great
battle, which might have been made trium-
plant victory for Mcclellan, was fruitless of
results.
The Confederate invasion of the North, from
which the Southern people expected great re-
suits. is over. 1t has been a fruitless campaign.
Lee has lost nearly fifteen thousand men, and
nothing has been gained. Bitter the disap-
pointment.
On the other hand, General Mcclellan has
lost his great opportunity. Oh, if he had but
pushed Franklin in at the right moment-if he
had sent Porter upon the double-quick across
the Antietam and up the slope to rush with
Franklin through the cornfields up TO the
turnpike, finishing what Richardson and French
had begun-what CONSERVATION there would
have been among the Confederate troops behind
the limestone lodges west of the bunker
church
A great victory lay before Mcclellan, but be
did not drive home the wedge at the right
moment, and the great opportunity has gone
by forever. His troops have fought great
battle; twelve thousand have been killed and
wounded; but il is barren triumph.
ITO be contiRued.

Having noticed in your columns recently
some communications relative to the Early
Soldiers Papers" desire to call attention to
another, although not of so early date possibly
as some mentioned in THE TRIBUNE's columns.
In the latter part Of the year 1863 several
members Of the Add Ohio infantry took posses
sion Of a printing Office at Plaquemine, La,
and during the months of November and De-
cember of that year, and January, February
and March, 1864, published a neat six-column
folio called the Picket Post. 1t was spicy
little sheet, devoted to military and social mat
tiers in and about the post Of Plaquemine. 1t
had no editor-in-chief; but the boys wrote
editorial articles by detail, in regular reliefs
When the 42d was ordered to Baton Rouge,
in the latter part of March, 1864 preparatory 70
entering the Red River campaign, the pnblica-
tion Of the Picket Post was indefinitely sus-
pended. There is no evidence that the Picke
Post enterprise was financial success. / re-
