The Battle Autumn of 1862.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
Th e flogs of war like storm-birds fly.
The charging trumpets blow;
Yet rolls no thunder in tbe sky.
No earthquake strives below.
And calm and patient. Nature keeps
Her ancient promise well.
Though o'er her bloom and greenness sweep
The battle's breath of hell.
And still she walks in golden hours
Through harvest-happy farms.
And still she wears her fruits and flowers
. Like jewels on her arrna.
What mean the gladness of the plain.
This joy of eve aud morn.
The mirth that shakes the beard of grain
And yolluw locks of corn ?
Ab! eyes may well be full of tears,
Aud hearts with hate are hot:
But even-paced come round tbe years.
And Nature changes not.
She meets with smile, our bitter grief.
W itb songs our groans of pain;
She mocks with tint of flower and leaf
The war-field's crimson strain.
Still in the cannon's pause, we hear
Mer sweet thanksgiving-psalm:
Too near to tiod for doubt or tear.
She shares the eternal calm.
She knows the seeds lie safe below
The fires that blast and burn;
For all the tears of blood we sow
She waits the rich return.
She sees with clearer eyes than ours
The good of suffering born
The hearts that blossom like her flowers
And ripen like her corn.
Oh, give to us. in times like these.
The vision of her eyes;
And make her fields and fruited trees
- Our goldeu prophecies!
1th, give to us her finer ear!
Above this stormy din.
We, too. would bear the bells of cheer

'J )0 lirst brigade being in advance, the
Twentr -third Ohio Regiment, Lieut. Col.
li. l. llafs comm:uidii)g, was deploj ed
W our left and o?derd to move through
th woods to th lett ol' ifrfi road, aud up
to th? treat of the mountain, gaining, ft
pos-il.le, the enemy's right, so a to turn
it and attack Lw flank. The 12th Ohio
Kegtutetit, Col. Can L. Whit command
ing, occupied the center of the line, and
the 30tb Ohio iiegimeut, Col. Huh Ewiug
conunanding, was on the right.
The second brigade marched in col u mo
of reserve, and a'Uliin supporting dis
tance. Th whole liue iu advancing was
well covered with skirmishers, whose du
ty was very effectively lerformed.
The 23d Ohio having reached the crest
on the left established itself there in spite
of a most vigorous resistance on the part
of the enemy. n tbe right the 30th
Ohio also succeeded in reaching the top
of the slope, in the face of showers of can
ister and spherical case from a battery of
the enemy commanding that part of the
line. A section of McMullin's battery
wis immediately advanced to the front,
nd 'opened an effective nre on the ene
my, OUl IIS position was ueteaiiij
ns.r tht enemy's infantry as fo bo great
ly exposed, and after' losing Lieut. Croome,
commanding the section, and the wound
ing of aix gunners of thesection.it was
withdrawn, having rendered good service,
however, in enabling the infantry to gain
tenable positions along the ridge.
In the center of the line the Twelfth
Ohio was obliged to advance several hun
dred yards over open pasture ground, un
der a most galling fire from the edge of the
wood which crowneu tne slope, anu oe
hind stone fences. The skirmishers of
the regiment, advancing with admirable
courase ana Brmness, arove in ttiose ot
tne enemy, auij iuc regiment, wu iouu
hurrahs, charged up the slppe wjth the
bayonet. Tbe rebel stood firmly, ami
kent up a murderous tire until the advanc
. .i ; i i i
ing line was within a few feet ol them, when
they" broke and fled over the crest into
the shelter of a dense thicket, skirting
the other side. -
The 11th Ohio, of the second brigade,
was now sent to support the left, and form
ed on tha left of the 23d. The enemy
made several attempt to retake the crest,
advancing with great obstinacy and bold
ness. Iu the center they were at ope
time partially -successful, but the 3Cth
Ohio, of the second brigade, was brought
forward, and, with the 12th. drove them
back by a "most dashing and spirited
charge..
ine wuoie crest was now held by our
troops as follows: The lft by the 1 1th
and 23d Ohio; the center by the 12th
Ohio, supported . uy me ootu, lormed in
line in reserve, ana tba right by tb 28th
and 30th. Two 10 pounder iWroIti of
Siuiroonds' battery, under Lieut. Olassje,
were pushed forward to an open epot in
tbe woods and supported by the infantry,
did iood service throughout the rest of
lue aCUOIl. I UtJ L-uMiy- unuuien-tucu
batterj to now position upon a ridge, more
to the front and right, forming tbcjr in
fantry jn support, and moving columns
toward both our nanus. . . . ,
I ' Such van 'tlo situation i about poon,
when a lull oecttrred in the contesVwhich
lasted some two hours, during which our
supports front the remainder of the corps
were arriving aad taking position,
i Ueu. Wilcox's division b eing first to ar
rive, took position on the right sending
one regiment, however, to the extreme
left which threatened to be turned by
a column of the enemy which moved in
that direction.
Gen.Sturgiss arriving subsequently, sup
ported Gen. Wilcox, and Gen. Rodman's
was divided. Col. Fairchild's brigade be
ing posted on the extreme left and Col.
Harlan's (under Gen. Rodman's personal
supervision) being placed on tbe right
While these supports were arriving the
enemy made several vigorous ettbrts to
regain the crest, directing their enorts
chiefly upon our right, which was expos
ed not only to the hre in front, but to the
batteries on the opposite side of the gorge
beyond our right, through which the Ha
gerstown turnpike runs.
About four o'clock P. M. most of the
reinforcements being in position, tbe or
der was received to advance the whole
line and take or silence the enemy's bat
teries, immediately in front. The order
was immediately obeyed and the advance
was made with the utmost enthusiasm.
The enemy made a desperate resist
ance, charging our advancing lines
with fierceness, but they were everywhere
routed and fled with precipitation. In
this advance the chief loss fell upon the
division of General Wilcox, which was
the most exposed, being on the right
as 1 have saia above, but it gallantly
overcame all obstacles and the success was
complete along the whole line of the
corps. The battery of the enemy was
found- to be across a gorge and beyond
reach of our infantry, but its position was
made untenable and it was hastily remov
ed and not again put in position near us.
Gen. Murgis division was now moved
forward to the front of Gen. Wilcox's po
sition, occupying the new ground gained
on the further side of the slope. About
dark a brisk attack was made by the ene
my upon the extreme left, but was tpiick
Iv repulsed bv Col. Fairchild's brigade of
Gen. Rodman's division, with little loss.
About i o'clock still another ellort to
regain the lost ground was made by the
rebels in front of the position of Gen.
Sturgis division, and part ot the Kana
wha division. This attack was more jier
s is tent, and a very lively fire was kept up for
about an hour, but they were again re
pulsed, and under cover of the night re
treated in mass from our entire Iront.
Just before sunset Major Gen. Reno was
killed, while making a recopnoisauce at the
front, and by this lamentably opcurreuce
the qndersigned was left in command of
the corps.

Headquarter Right Wing, Major-Utneral
Barnside commanding :
Sir: I have the honor to submit the
following report of the movement of the
9th army corps on the 10th inst., and their
parts in the battle of Sharpsburg on the
iithf
On the evening of the loth inst., the 9th
army corps Laving been ordered away
from the remainder of the right wing, was
encauiDed in the rear of the extreme left
of the whole line of the army of the Po
tomac, close to tbe mils on uie aoutneasi
aide of the valley of the Antietam, and
on the left of the road lrom Rohersville
in fcharrtsburg.
Iu the afternoon pf the 16th the whole
corps, except' Wilcox's diyisiou, was mov
ed forward, ana to me ieu anu iront, uy
command of Major- General Burnside, in
three columns, and took up a pew posi
tion uoon the rear slopes of the ridges on
the left bank of the Antietam, the center
of the corps being nearly opposite the
stone bridge over tne stream on tne aoove
mentioned road.
" Tb0 positions assigned the divisions of
the command were as follows; The right
front to be occupied by Crook's brigade of
the Kanawha division, supported in rear
by Sturgis' uivwop; commanaing khou
in the center to be occupied by battery E,
2d U. K. Artillery, 1st Lieut, Samuel X.
Benjamin commanding, consisting of 20
nounder Parrot euns: the left front to be
occupied by Rodman's division, supported
in rear by Ewing's brigade of the Kana-
Bfla division, ime wnoie oi me latter di
vision being under command of Col. E. P.
Scaromon.) The columns were conduct
ed to their new positions bv staff of Gen
Burnside. The artillery of the command,
except Benjamin's battery was held in
reserve.
Shortly after daybreak on the 17 th, the
enemy's batteries opened ujioii the bat
teries of our line, aud a busk artillery
fight legiin, iu which Benjamin's battery
and Durell's battery (the lutter sent for
ward a little to the right of our jtosition,
under charge of Capt. Rawalle, by (Jen.
Sturgis,) took an active part, co-ojwrating
with batteries ot other corps on our right
Two of the enemy's caissons were explcv
ed, and many of their guns silenced. The
shot and shells fell thickly in our bivou
ac, but little damage was done us.
About seven o'clock orders were receiv
ed from Gen. Burnside to move forward
the corps to the ridge nearest the Antie
tam and hold it in readiness to cross the
stream, carrying the ridge and the bights
above it by assault. The command was
move forward in columns as it had been
formed the previous night, and promptly
took position as directed, and the light
artillery was advanced to cover the move
ment; McMullin's, Durell's, Clark's, Muh
lenberg's and Cook's batteries being plac
ed on the hights to right and lelt, and
somewhat to the front of Benjamin's bat
tery, to which a section of 20 pounders
from Simnionds' battery was also tempo
rarily attached. Wilcox's division was
also brought up and held as a reserve.
About nineo clock the order was receiv
ed to cross the stream.- Immediately the
11th Connecticut infantry, Col. Kinssoury
commanding, was detailed from Rodman's
division to deploy as skirmishers, and
drive the enemy from the head of the
brigade, thecolumn on the right, (Cook's
brigade of the Kanawha division, support
ed by Sturgis' division,) was ordered to
march under cover ot the 11th Connecti
cut, and attempt to curry the bridge by
assault, deploying to right aud left as soon
as the bridge should be carried, and tak
ing the hights alove it. the column on
the left, (Rodman's division, supported by
bwing s brigadeof the Kanawha division, I
was ordered to cross, if possible, by a ford
about one-third ota mile below the bridge,
take the hights above it, and join thecol
umn crossing by the bridge.
the bridge itself is a stone structure oi
three arches, with stone parapet above,
this parapet to some extent flanking the
approach to the bridge at either end.
the vailev m which the stream runs is
quite narrow, the steep slope on the right
bauK approaching quite to the waters
edi;e. iu this loie the roadway is scarp.
ed running both ways from the bridge and
passing to the higher land above br as
cending through ravines, above and below
the other ravine being some six hund
red yards above the bridge, the town
about half that distance beiow. On the
hill side immediately above the bridge
was a ttrong stone fence running parallel
to the stream, the turns ot the roadway
were covered by rifle pits and breastworks
made of rails and stone, all of which de
fenses, as well as the woods which covered
the slope, were tilled with the enemy's
infantry and sharpshooters. Besides the
infantry defenses, batteries were placed
to enfilade the bridge and all its approach
es, the crest of the hrst hill above the
bridge ia curved toward the stream, form
ing a sort of natural tele de pont. The next
ridge beyond rises somewhat higher,
though with less regularity, the depres
sion between the two being but slight,
and the distance varying in places from
three to seven hundred yards.
In accordance with the order mention
ed above, the 11th Connecticut advanced
to the stream and warmly engaged the
enemy across it. Crook s brigade mov
ing forward was brought under so lively
an infantry fire as well as that of artillery,
that it was forced to halt and open nre in
return, and Sturgis' divisiop passing by
the rear came hrst to the bridge and was
ordered to cross, under protection of the
artillery fire. Gen. Sturgis ordered for
ward the Zd Diary land and utb ft ew Hamp
shire, which charged at double-quick,
with fixed bayonets; but the concentrated
fire upon the bridge forced them to fall
back. Alter repeated brave enorts these
regiments were withdrawn and the 51st
Jiew fork and olst rennsylvania, lrom
the same division, were prdered up.
About tbe same time Col. Crook of the
2d brigade, Kanawha division, succeeded
in getting a section of Simonds' battery,
supported ly the Twenty-eIh 0nio m'
tantry, in position to bear directly upon
the enemy's position at the farther end of
the bridge, and aided by these guns, the
fresh troops charged with great enthusi
asm, bearing bown all opposition, and at
one o'clock planted their banner on the
opposite bank. In this desperate fight in
the valley, Colopel Kingsbury, of the 11th
Coppecticut, fell, cheering bjs men op to
their duty.
General Sturgis' division Immediately
marched over, deploying one brigade to
the right and the other to the left of the
bridge, and advanced np the slope, driv
ing the enemy before them. This divi
sion was followed by Colonel Crooks' brig
ade, of the .apawha division, wnicn tooa
position on the right.
Mean while. General Rodman's division
and the first brigade of the Kanawha di
vision, under Colonel Scammon, had suc
ceeded in crossing at the ford below, after
a shai n enffatrement. and under a heavy
musketry and artillery tire, apd success-

bridge. T he three divisions of the corps
at fins t'Wie on the fight bank of the An

signed them before the commencement
of the movement, except that op the
ritrht wing the division of Sturgis was in
front, and Crook's brigade in support of
it the order being reversed by the caus
es before stated.
The bitterly contested fight at the
bridge having about exhausted the am
munition and greatly fatigued the troops
engaged, I sent a reuuest to Gen. Bum
side that " V'ilcox's division, which had
been held in reserve on the left bank,
might be sent over and take its place on
the right front, putting Sturgis' division
in reserve at the head of the bridge. This
was" immediately ordered by Gen, Burn
side, and Gen. Wilcox came promptly
forward with his command. During the
interval the enemy kept up an incessant
cannonade, and having the exact range
of the valley and tbe ravines, bis shells
came in verv fast, annoying us a good deal,
causing numerous casualities, notwith
standing the men were kept lying on the
ground near the crests of the hill, whilst
the chanses in the liue and the partially
new formation after the arrival of Wilcox's
division were being made. '
At about 2 o'clock, the necessary chan
ges in the liue having been completed, the
order to advance was received lrom uen
era! Burnside, and the whole force, except
Sturgis' division, was put in motion.
Gen. Wilcox on the right his whole di
visiop iu liie and supported by Colonel
Crook was ordered "to move on Sharps
burg, which lay about a mile distant to
the right Pf our front. General Kodman,
supported bv Colonel . Scammon, ; was
ordered to move ip the same direction,
first dislodging tbe enemy from his front,
and then changing direction to his right
bringing his command in echelon on the
left, of Gen. Wilcox. The advance was
partly covered by Simmonds', Muhlen
berg's, Clark's and Cook's batteries, the
other batteries of the corps being in part
out of ammunition, and part being kept
necessarily ip position op the command
ing ground on the left bank of the stream-
The troop moved forward in perfect or
der, and with great enthusiasm. On the
right, Gen. Wilcox and Col. Crook quick-,
ly repulsed the enemy and drove back
their artillery, - pushing victoriously for
ward nearly to the village, un xne ten.
General Rodman and Colonel Scammon
likeyise advanced 'rapidly, driving the
rebels before them. The enemy, howev
er, were manifestly in much greater force
than ours, and massed their troops heavi
ly on the extreme left. This iie-es.-urilv

which it was necessary to fill by the troops
of the second line. Biitterie.s' were accu

, ridge in advance, and the advancing line
was subject to a niot trying and desiruc-
ine cross hre of artillery. The enemy
now brought up more fresh forces upon
i v. mist uen. uodinun was
malting disposition to meet them by a
change of front, of part or his command,
he fell desperately wounded by a ball
through his chest. The loss c.f their com
m nder at a critical erin caused confti-
a,a in part of the diviMtin on the ex
tix-me left. The second brigade of his
uitision, ioionei Harlan commanding was
forced to retire after an obstinate contest
in which they tutTered terribly. Colonel
Scammon, of the Kanawha division, heinc
ordered to make disposition of the brig
ade im mm, to oppose the rebel force
on the left, caused the ICth and 23d Ohio
regiments to execute a perpendicular
change of front, which was done with
precision and success, the other regiment
of the brigade (30th Ohio) maintained its
proper front. The whole line was now
engaged, the supports being brought to
the tront.except the reserve division nf
Gen. Sturgis at the bridge. This was now
ordered up, and came promptly, thcugh
much exhausted tind weakened by its
previous exertions during the day. The
mass or the enemy ou the left still contin
ued to increase, new butteries were con
stantly opeuing upon us, and it was man
liest tue corps would, without re-enforce-ments,
de unable to reach the villa
Sharpsburg, since the movement could
not be made to the right, whilst the ene
my exhibited such force in front of the
extreme left, and the attack both to the
right and lelt at once would necessarily
separate the wings to such an extent as to
imperil the whole movement unwarrant
ably. The attack having already had the
etlect of a most powerful diversion in fa
vor of the center and right of the army,
which, by this means, had been able to
make decided and successful advances,
and no supports being at the time availa
ble tor our exhausted corps, I ordered
the troops withdrawn lroiu the exDOsed
ground iu front to the cover of the curved
hill above the bridge which had been ta-
aen irom the enemy earlier in the after
noon. This movement was etlected short
ly before dark, in perfect order and with
admirable coolness and precision on the
part of both officers and men. The line
as then constituted was formed by Sturgis'
division in front, on the left, supported
uy i aircuiia s ongaue oi r.ouman s diviv
ion, the Kanawha division under Col.
Scammon in the confer, and Wilcox's di
vision on the right. The enemy did not
venture an attack upon the position, but
kept up a brisk artillery fire until night
fall. The bravery and soldierly conduct of
the men was most striking, and becomes
still more noticeable when it is considered
that for several days they had been march
ing and fightiug, with scarcely any r.st by
night or day, and the rapidity of the
movement had prevented their having
any regular supplies of food, the supply
tram being detained at the rear by the ad
vance of other troops.
The batteries on tbe lelt bank of tbe
Antietam were not only to assist in the
movement of the corps, but were most
efficiently turned upon the enemy in his
attack upon the center and right of the
army. They were all very well served,
and the '20-pounder battery and Lieut.
Benjamin's were especially efficient. In
their reports, (which are transmitted here
with,) the commandants of divisions and
separate brigades speak in the highest
terms of their troops, and make special
mention of numbeia of officers and men
who distinguished themselves. These are
too numerous to bo named in this report,
but the whole list will very shortly be
Eublished in a special order from these
ead quarters,
1 most confine myself to the expression
of my great satisfaction with the manner
in which all tbe subordinate commands
of theecorcs were handled., Xlie jwoye-
merita were accurate as those of a parade;
and the systematic order with which they
were executed, made the spectacle in tue
heat of the battle grand and imposing
one. fermit me, aiso, to express iu ob
ligation to the gentlemen on Gen. lura-
side s stan, ior me intelligence, cuuji c,
and unwearied industry they exhibited in
the constant communication between him
and the headquarters of his corps.
The casualties in the corps during me
day were two thousand two hundred and
twenty-two (2,222.) of which 357 were
killed; 1.742 wounded, and 123 mining.
Amontr numerous officers killed and
wounded, we have to mourn the loss of
Col. Henry W. Kingsbury, llth Connecti
cut; Lieutenant-Colonel A: H. Coleman,
commanding llth O. V. L. Lieutenant
Colonel M. Clark, commanding 36th Reg
iment O. V. I., and Lieutenant-Colonel
Bell, commanding 51st Pennsylvania
All these gallant officers were killed in
the action whilst heroically leading their
men under a terrible fire of shelL canis
ter and musketry.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Signed,' J- P- COX,

Principles vs, Cannon,
It is trulv said that in this nineteenth
century "bayonets have ideas ;" and it is
hv having ideas that thev conquer. God
is on the side of right ; it is in that we of
the north place our trust, before our can
non or our generals. It is that reflection
which has given courage to the women of
the North to send forth their sons to oat
tie, not only when our cause was success
ful, but when disasters came thick apd
heavy, and when all our superiority of
cappon failed .to beat the enemy.
'
When we fight in the name of
libertr we shall .. surely conquer
thrwA who fight in the name of
slavery. When our battle-cry is freedom
not to this man or that section, but
freedom to all men all over the world
then we 6bull have reassumed that nigh
position in the front of nations which was
taken by Washipgtop, JefTerVm, Frank
lin, and the other worthies, who, battling
in the name of universal liberty, conquer
ed agaiust odd, and faced and overcame
an enemy superior, not only in artillery.
but everything else which gives strength
to arms--exeept right.

be true to pur traditions. Ve, top. must
