Halleck, General-in-Chief: after a very severe engagement, the corps of General Hooker and General Reno have carried the heights commanding the Hagerstown road by storm. The troops behaved magnificently — they never fought better. General Franklin has been hotly engaged on the extreme left. I do not yet know the result, except that the firing indicated progress on his part. The action continued until after dark, and terminated, leaving us in possession of the entire crest. It has been a glorious victory. I cannot yet tell whether the enemy will retreat during the night, or appear in increased force during the morning. I regret to add that the gallant and able Gen. Reno is killed. George B. Mcclellan, Major-General. headquarters army of the Potomac, Sept. 15, 1862-3 o'clock A.
