Rallying behind the turnpike fence.Alittle past the hour of noon on the 16th of September, 1862, General Stonewall Jackson and myself reached General Lee's headquarters at Sharpsburg and reported the arrival of our commands.
I am thus particular in noting the hour of the arrival of my division for the reason that some writers have fallen into the error of mentioning my arrival as coincident with that of McLaws's division, which was some twenty-two hours later.
The thought of General Lee's perilous situation, with the Potomac River in his rear, confronting, with his small force, McClellan's vast army, had haunted me through the long hours of the night's march, and I expected to find General Lee anxious and careworn.
Anxious enough, no doubt, he was; but there was no

Louisville Journal account.
Louisville, September 16, 1862.
by persons arriving last evening from Munfordsville, which place they left Sunday night, we have obtained a full report of the battle of Sunday, fought between Colonel Wilder's Indiana brigade and the rebel troops of the renegade Buckner.
The following is a circumstantial account of the affair:
The intrenchments within which our troops fought are situated about one mile from Woodsonville, opposite Munfordsville, on the south side of the river, and are built so as to protect the Green River railroad bridge.
Immediately south of the works, and three hundred yards from them, a strip of woods crosses the railroad.
A portion of this had been felled, and forms an abattis in front of the intrenchments.
Beyond the woods is another open space, which was the scene of the battle between Col. Willich and Terry, in December last.
To the right and left of the intrenchments are
