THE BATTLE OF SHARP5BURG.

l Ihave read with much Interest the
account published in the Gazstte OF
September II, OF the battle OF Sharps-
burg, or Antietsm, fought that day
tbirty-nine years ago, in which, as the
writer states, the old Seventeenth Vir.
ginia Regiment, "Alexsndris's Pride
and Glory" bore a conspicuous part.
suffering severely in the conflict and as
shown by the following extract from
the report Of its gallant colonel, M. d.
Corse, lost in killed, wounded and
and prisoners IA per cent Of Its num-
bsr: ~ have to state here that we put
into the fight but forty-six enlisted men
and nine officers; out Of this number,
seven officers and twenty.four men were
killed and wounded and ten taken
prisoners" The colonel was severely
wounded 10 this battle and fell ip the
hands OF the enemy, but was after
wards rescued by our troops.
The reading OF this article reminded
me OF the fact that my attention had

official orders, union and confederate,

And what does that signify?" asked
the woman on the left.
"Alertness, activity, selfishness and
inconsiderateness.

THAT woman in the gray skirt is a
