The contest began on the right, by Hooker's division, where, after forty minutes' hard fighting, the rebels bagan to retreat. Soon, however, large bodies came to their aid, and they partially recovered their original position. At this critical period, the gallant Hooker was severely wounded, and the com- mand devolved on General Rickets. At this time, eleven A. M., the battle raged with great fury along the whole extended line. On the right, our forces began to waver, when Gen- erals Franklin, Sumner, and Meagher, arriv- ed with fresh troops, and by a most spirited bayonet charge, drove back the rebels with great loss, and by holding the ground, virtu- ally won the battle on the right. At one P. M., General Mansfield, who had been sent early in the netion, to the support of General Hooker, while leading his men to the attack, was mortally wounded. On the left, General Burnside's division had for hours been en- gaged in a desperate struggle. If overcom- ing the greatest obstacles constitute the post of honor on a field of battle, General Burn- side may justly claim to have had that post in this great struggle. He had to eross Antietam creek in order to reach the rebels. This was spanned by a stone bridge, which was strongly defended by artillery and infant- ry. The first and second attempts to take the bridge, were repulsed with heavy loss. He determined to make another desperate effort, commanding the assault in person. It was two P. M., when the bridge was stormed by a brilliant charge, in which the 11th Ohio and 11th Connecticut participated. The Union troops, after passing the bridge, attacked the rebels with renewed energy, causing them to fall back to the batteries on the hills beyond. No sooner was the summit of the hill reach-
