M. before A. P. Hill, who had been awaiting Jackson's arrival, advanced and opened the battle. The Rebels r the close of the eventful 27th, telegraphed to the War Department as follows: headquarters army of the Potomac, June 27--10 A. M. The night passed quietly. During it, we brought all wagonas, heavy guns. &c., to this side, and at daybreamade by the enemy. White House yet undisturbed. Success of yesterday complete. headquarters army of the Potomac, June 27-12 M. My change of position on the other side just in time. Heavy attack now being made by Jackson and two division
corps at Shepherdstown, and Lee, with Longstreet's, at Williams-port; both, uniting at Hagerstown, advanced, unopposed, on the track of Ewell, to Chambersburg. June 27. Ewell had taken quiet possession of Carlisle, pushing forward his advance to Kingston, within 13 miles of Harrisburg. Meanwhile, such militia as had been mustery telegraph of Halleck, Is there any reason why Maryland Heights should not be abandoned, after the public stores and property are removed? and been answered: June 27, 10 1/2 A. M. Maryland Heights have always been regarded as an important point to be held by us, and much expense and labor incurred in fortifying them. I cawires, &c., &c., as was to be expected, and levying contributions on the country, though rendering a very general obedience to Lee's order, Dated Chambersburg, June 27 exhorting and enjoining his men to abstain from all wanton destruction or of damage to private property. Col. White, with his cavalry advance, had reached the Su
ornered June 19, 1863. by the Leavenworth home guards, Maj. Clendenin, and the steamboat Izetta, and were soon glad to surrender. Barely one of them escaped to the Kentucky shore, and he was immediately captured. At length, setting out June 27. from Sparta, Morgan crossed July 1-2. the Cumberland, then in flood, near Burkesville — building boats for his trains and swimming his horses — with a wellmounted force of 2,028 effectives and 4 guns; pushing back Col. Wolford's cavalry, who3, 2 P. M. from Triune, on our extreme right, moving by Rover and Middleton, pushing back the enemy, by lively skirmishes at either place, to Christiana, on the road from Murfreesboroa to Shelbyville, where he was joined by Stanley; advancing June 27. thence on Guy's gap, covering Shelbyville, which was at first firmly held by the enemy; but, after two hours skirmishing, they suddenly fell back, as though they had been covering a retreat. Granger at once directed Stanley to advance his cava
, corduroying swamps, and dragging guns and caissons over them, our army plodded its weary, famished way toward the capital it had left so proudly; being met at length by a supply train, which passed down the road, throwing out hard-tack in profusion — our men scrambling for it in the mud, and devouring it with keen voracity. Steele entered Little Rock May 2d. Late June, Shelby crossed the Arkansas eastward of Little Rock, pushing northward to the White, near its mouth; and was met June 27. near St. Charles by four regiments under Gen. Carr, who worsted him, taking 200 prisoners. Our loss here in killed and wounded was 200; that of the Rebels was estimated by our officers at 500. Marmaduke soon approaching with renforcements for Shelby, Carr fell back on Clarendon, 20 miles below Duvall's bluff, where he also was reenforced; when the enemy retreated southward. There were, of course, a good many partisan encounters and raids during the Summer; in one of which a Union scout
steadily though slowly gaining ground, especially on our right, a sally and attack were made June 22. by the enemy, led by Hood, with intent to interpose between Thomas's right and Schofield's left, near what was known as the Kulp house. The blow fell on Williams's division of Hooker's corps, and Hascall's of Schofield's army, but utterly failed — the enemy being repulsed from our lines with heavy loss, including some prisoners. Sherman now determined to assault in turn, and did June 27. so, after careful preparation, at two points, south of Kenesaw, and in front of Gens. Thomas and McPherson respectively; but the enemy's position was found, at fearful cost, absolutely impregnable — each attack being signally repulsed, with an aggregate loss of 3,000, including Gens. Harker and Dan. McCook, killed, and Col. Rice, with other valuable officers, badly wounded. The Rebels, thoroughly sheltered by their works, reported their loss at 442. Gen. Sherman, in his report, defends
