Payne and a doctor, whose name I did not learn, lost their horses. They were taking dinner at a hotel. The enemy fled before us from Martinsburg to Harper's Ferry; we pursued; a part of Longstreet's forces captured the Maryland Heights; others got possession of the Loudoun Heights, and we surrender them. Thus the words of Gen. Johnston were literally verified, that Harper's Ferry would prove a man-trap to any party who might attempt to hold it. Their troops were living on half rations. A large number of stolen negroes were also captured, estimated at from five to eight hundred. Having filled our haversacks with three days rations of crackers, Jackson's corps started, a little after twelve o'clock on the night of the surrender, directly for Shepherdstown, waded the river, and proceeded at once into the heaviest of the

From the army. [Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Frederick Co. Va., 9 miles from Winchester, Sept. 22d, 1862. You should have heard from me are this, of the stirring events just transacted in this part of the State, but for an unfortunate wound received in the battle of Sharpsburg, September 17th, on account of which I have since been so situated as to be unable to write until at present. The particulars of the march through Maryland are now so well known to every one that it is useless to repeat. One circumstance, however, I have not jet seen in print, and will mention. Jackson's corps marched from Frederick via Boonesboro' to Williamsport. Just in sight of Boonesboro', the whole army stopped to camp and cook rations. As usual, several soldiers made their way on to town in search of something good to eat. No danger was apprehended. Gen. Jackson and staff rode on in front, not dreaming of danger; but just as they had reached the centre of the town Capt. Rus

The second brigade was that evening exposed to a severe cannonade from the enemy for an hour. Capt. Kelly, who at that time commanded the brigade, was slightly wounded and retired from the field. Capt. Dobyns, of the 42d, was wounded in the arm, besides eight or ten others, whose names I did not learn. The command of the brigade then devolved upon Capt.
