a deep sleep which had scarcely been interrupted. The Federals were so utterly disorganized and discouraged that this answer was to them an order which they could not gainsay. Before noon the Confederates entered Harper's Ferry, and received eleven thousand five hundred and eightythree men as prisoners of war, with their arms and seventy-three pieces of artillery. Harper's Ferry was the counterpart of Donelson. This event did not have the same disastrous consequences to the Federals as Buckner's capitulation did to the Confederates; but if it did not involve the irretrievable loss of a whole State, it robbed them of the only opportunity, perhaps, of inflicting an irreparable defeat upon Lee's army. Chapter 4: Antietam. ON the morning of September 15th, while Franklin was resuming his march toward Harper's Ferry, ignorant of the disaster we have just related, McClellan was quickening the pace of the long columns that were filing through the ensanguined gorges of Turner's

ed the divisions of Cheatham and Withers, the left, under Hardee, the divisions of Anderson and Buckner. These divisions were much stronger than those of the Federals; they were composed of at leastseparated from the Federals by Chaplin's Creek. Anderson was opposed to Rousseau and Sheridan; Buckner on his right faced Jackson. Cheatham found himself at first on the left of Anderson; but by a ck to the battle-field, from which he kept away, as will be presently seen. Toward two o'clock Buckner and Anderson put themselves in motion. The latter, with the brigades of Jones and Brown, attaco brigadiers were wounded; they gained no ground. But on their right Liddell's brigade, led by Buckner, took advantage of the wood which stretched across the valley, to approach Terrill's Federal brwn in front of him. In order to render Liddell's success complete by bearing more to the right, Buckner sent forward Cleburne's brigade, whose intrepid chief, scarcely recovered from the wound receiv

being turned in that direction. D. H. Hill's division had arrived in the early part of December from the valley of Virginia, where it had remained until then; it was sent to Port Royal, where it exchanged a few cannon-shots with the Union vessels. The remainder of Jackson's corps, of which it now formed a part, was ranged en echelon along a line of considerable length, so as to be able to support the former or to assist Longstreet, as circumstances might require. Ewell's division was at Buckner's Neck, in the vicinity of the Rappahannock; that of A. P. Hill on his left, at Yerby's plantation, near the Massaponax, and Taliaferro in the rear, at Guiney's Station, on the Richmond Railroad. This station had become the principal depot and centre of supplies for the army. At last everything was ready to resist Burnside if he should cross the Rappahannock near Fredericksburg. It is true that the heights on the left bank, known by the name of Stafford Heights, commanded its course; but

aised the standard of secession could only have been treated as an ordinary criminal. More to the south, in Missouri and Kentucky, he would shelter himself behind the name of partisan or militiaman. Farther yet, in Tennessee or in Virginia, he was a regularly recognized enemy. The Federals always treated those who fell into their hands on the field of battle, having a commission from the hostile government, as prisoners of war. Thus, for instance, after the capitulation of Donelson, General Buckner, who had organized the secession troops in Kentucky, having been claimed by the Union authorities of that State for the purpose of being tried on a criminal charge, Mr. Lincoln set aside the demand, and took the first opportunity to exchange him. The Washington government had the same consideration for the partisans who fought openly in uniform and respected the rules of war. But the safety of its own soldiers, and that of the inhabitants who sought the protection of the Federal flag, d
