THE BATTLE j OF SHAKPSBURG. The Southern public are indebted to V.Per sonne," the army correspondent of tbeCbarleston Courier, for the most graphic sketches of the operations of our armies which have appeared in print. But for his contributions to the Courier, we should have been under the necessity of rely ing upon the Northern press for details of battles, or awaiting, lor months, the publication of for mal official reports. In the Courier, of the 29th ulwe find his account of the Battle of Sharps burg, from which we copy the following extracts "Personne" estimates that the Yankee force en- eeged in this battle was nearly zuu.uuo, ana finniiu if wb carried into the battle more than 70,000 men 1 THS FIGHT ON THE LEFT. With the first break of daylight tbe heavy rjoundine of the enemy's euns on their right an nounced the battle begun, and for an hour the sullen booming was uninterrupted by aught pave their own echoes. McClellan bad initiated the attack. Jackson and Law ton, (commanding Kwell's division) always in time bad come rapidly forward during the night, and were in position on our extreme left. What a strange strength and confidence we all felt in the presence of that man, "Stonewall" Jackson. Between six and seven o'clock the Federals advanced a large body of skirmishers, and shortly after the main body of the enemy was hurled against the divi sion of Gen. Lawton. The fire now became fear ful and incessant. What were at first distinct notes, clair and consecuvive, mergeu inw a tu multuous chorus that made the earth tremble. Tho dicsharge of uiketry sounded upon the ear like the rolling bl a thousand disiani urums, anu ever and anon the peculiar yells of our boys told US ot some advantage gaineu. wewuu wr upon tbe centre could sco little or nothing of this portion of tbe battle, but from the dense pall of stxjoke that hung above the scene, we knew too well that bloody work was going on. Tbe Federals there outnumbered us three to ,rtn4lB..fXhir best "troops were concentrated upon nnr sdM4Wsvnirn,and"rfr two hours and a half the tide of battle ebbed and uowu shbtusvwj ior ana against us.

Ewell'g old divi sion, overpowered by superior numbers '. gave back. Hood, with his Texans, the Eighteenth Georgia and tho Hampton Legion, rushed into the gap and retrieved tho loss. Swell's-' men, rallying on this Eupport, returned to the fight, and adding their weight to that of tho froeh en thusiastic troops, the enemy in turn were driven back. Reinforced, they made another desperate effort on the extreme left, and here again was a repeti.ion of the scenes I have described.

The following dispatch w ; n the 5th: received! at Cairo tijriug uuur. xiiu rtuaram saw lueir aavantagc, and pressed it with vigor, Eight batteries were in full play upon us, and the dfTJ of heavy guns whistling and burbling of shelli, and the roar of musketry, was almost deafening. i At this juncture, Lee ordered to the support of Jackson the division of General McLaws, which had been held in resejve. Ahd blessing never cama more opportunely. Our men bad fought until not only they, but their ammunition w'ere well nigh exhausted, and discomfiture stared tbem in tbe lace. But, thus Encouraged, every man rallied, and the light wasredoubled in its inten sity. Splendidly handled, -the reinforcement swept on f like a wave, its blows falling thick and rust upon tne audacious columns tbat had so stub bornly forced their way to the position on which we originally commenced the battle. Half a"n bourjater and the enemy were retreating. Atone point we pursued Tor nearly a mile, andlastnight a portion oi our troops on the lelt slept on the Yankee ground. The success, though not decisive is compared with our usual results, was complete is it was possible to make it in view of the pecul iar circumstances of the battle and the toooirrar.hv of the country. Certain it is. that after the ces- sation of the fight at balf-past ten, the Yankees did not renew it again at this point during the day. They had been defeated. and all they could do thereafter, .was to prevent us .from repeating iu wru vue experiment wnicn they bad attempt ed on our line. It was. bevond all rf(mht ih roost holly contested field on whioh a httl THXf VIOHT t'PON THE CENTRE. Soon after the cessation of the firht on the lft. the enemy made a strong demonstration upon our centre, in front of tha division of General D, H. lull. Here, for a while, the contest was carried on mainly by artillery, with whichpth the ene my ana ourselves were abundantlyHurAlied. ' j.uomy uiuerence Deiween tne two. if anv at All, was in the fwoeriority of their metal and po- eibiunii, uu wu our pari me lacK oi suthcient am munionV Battery after battery was sent to the rear exhausted, anu our ordnance wagons, un til late in the day, were on the opposite side of the Potemac, blocked up by the long commissary trains, 'which had been ordered forward from MartinsburgRnd Shepherdstown to relieve tho ne cessities oi the army. As indicated in the former part of this letter, our artillery was posted on the summits of the Hue of bills which ran from right to left in front of the town. That of the enemy, with one ex ception, was on the rising ground at the base of tbe Blue Ridge, and upon the various eminences this side. 'A single Federal battery was boldly thrown over tbe Stone Bridge on tbe Turnpike, nine hundred or a thousand yards in our front, and held its position until disabled with a hardi hood worthy of a better cause. I tan n AT now name all the positions of tbe different batteries only those which I saw. Altogether we may have bad playing at this time one hundred guns. The .enemy baying at least an equal number, you may imagine what a horrid concert filled the air, and how unremitting was tbe bail of heavy balls and shells, now tearing their way through the trees, now bursting and throwing ther mur derous fragments on every side, and again bury ing themselves amid a cloud of dust in tbe earth, always where they were least expected. swaving like a ship in a storm, the various cob- j td concentrate his force against our weakest points J ...... t i ' tr 1. -- 1 a . . v- -rl -i i--. ; i umns are seen in motion. v is a noi pi ace lor us, but is hotter still for tbe enemy. They are di rectly under our guns, and we mow them down like grass. Tbe raw levies, sustained by the vet erans behind, come up to the work well and fight for a short time wfth an excitement incident to their novel experiences of a battle ; but soon a portion of their line gives way in confusion. Their reserves come up, and endeavor to retrieve the fortunes of the day. Our centre, however, stands firm as adamant, and they fall back. Pur suit on our cart is useless, for if we drove the ene- . i - f xi -i : . i J mv at all on tne oilier sioe-rH vu river, it wuuiu be ficainsl the sides of the mountain, where one man, fighting foriis life and liberty, disciplined or undisciplined, would be equal to a aozen. Meanwhile deadly work has been going on among our artillery. Whatever they may have made others f ufleri, nearly all the companies have suffered severely? tbemsflves. The great balls and shells of the enemy have been thrown with wonderful accuracy .and dead and wounded men, horses,and disabled caisons are visible in every bat tery. Tbe instructions from General Lee, are that there ball be no more artillery duels. Instead, therefore, of endeavoring to silence the enemy's pups. Colonel Walton directs his artillery to re ceive the fire of their antagonist quie'ly.and deliv ered their ownf against the Federal infan try. The wisdom of the order is apparent at ev ery shot; for with' the overwhelming numbers of the enemy they pignt have deleated us at the outset, but for ihf powerful and well directed ad juncts we possessed in our heavy guns. Time and again did the Federals perseverihg- ly press close up to our ranks, so near indeed that their supporting batteries were obliged to atop fir ing, lest they thoiild kill their own men, but just as often were they driven back by the combined elements of destruction which we brought to bear uDon them. It was an hour when every man Was wanted. The sharpshooters of the enemy 5were nicking off our principal officers con'inually, and especially those who made themselves congpicu oua in the batteries. . la this, manner the compa ny of Captain Miller, of tbe Washington Artil lery, was neatly disabled, only two out of bis four cuns being fully manned. As it occupied a po sition directly under uenerai jongstrect, and ne saw the valuable part it vas performing in defend ing the centre, that officer dismounted himself from lm Horse, and, assisted by his Adjutant Gen eral, Major Sorrel, Major Fairfax, and General fli-arrfrhn U7fkrL'al inu t( ll... ....... .i . . n; -"") .."...-v. tuo gum uum ine crisis was fnssad. To see a General officer wielding the .lllmju f m o.nut ti..V . uranu.w j m -iv wnu iw uare ana re sponsibilities upon his shoulders, performing the duty of a common soldier, in the thickest ot the conflict, is a figure worthy of the pencil of an ar tist. The result of this battle, though at one time doubtful, was finally decisive. The enemy were driven across tbe river with a slaughter that was terrible. A Federal officer who was wounded,; and afterwards taken prisoner, observed to one of our, officers tbat bo could count almost the whole of bis regiment on the ground around him! I did not go over the field, but a gen'.leman who has been an actor in all our battles, informed me that he never, even upon the bloody fields of Ma nassas, saw so many dead men before. The ground was black with them, and, according to' bis esti mate, the Federa s had, lost eight to our one. Happily, though our casualties are very consider able, most of them are in wounds. There now ensued a silence of two hour?, broken only by the occasional discharges of artillery. It was a sort of breathing time, when the panting combatant?, exhausted by the battle, stood silently eyeing each other, and making ready the one to strike, and the otber to ward off another stagger ing blow. Tib said I'm flcke as tbe air, With vow for all and troth for none ; - But little for others' thoughts I care Thou knowest I love hut thee alone. -To others I may have teemed as kind, And fonder, too ; but thou could'st see How much with heart and soul and mind I loved thee, , still love thee. Wbeb first I gazed upon thy face, So radiant with joyous youth, So full of every winning grace--' Affection, constancy and truth I thought, I may have loved before, But stronger still my love Shall be ; All others' charms are prized no more 1 love thee, , I love but tbee. I know tbou never, can'st be mine I dare not further hope tia vain ; But, 0 1 such loveliness as thine, To worship scarcely comld be sin I Still shall that love for thee remain, Though a damning blank my life may be; Though I have lived and loved in vain, I love but one I love but thee.

It was now about 3 o'clock in the alternoon, but notwithstanding the strange lull in the storm no one believed it would not be renewed before night. Intelligence had come from the rear that General A. F. Hill wa advancing Iron! Harper s Ferry with the force which Jackson had left be hind, and every eye was turned anxiously in that direction. In a little while we saw 9orne of his troops moving cautiously -under cover of the woods and hills to the front, and in an hour more he was in position on the right. " Here about four o'clock the enemy had made another bold demonstration b ifty thousand of their troops in one raaae, had charged our lines, and after, vainly resiating them l 1 r ii . we were siowiy giving oacx oeiorn superior nu,m bers. Our total force here was less than six thousand men, and bad it not been for tbe admirably nlant- ed artillery under command of Major Garoett, nothing until the arrival of reinforcements could have prevented an irretrievable defeat. 'I know less oi this posuiOB of tbe field than any other, but irdm those who were engaged beard glowing accounts of the excellent behavior of Jenkln's Brijkd.&ud U nj-.n,l inih 4iorgi, tuts lawei ' under comrtand of Col. Cummings. The last two regiments have been especial subjects of comment because of the spleadid manner in which they successively met and defeated seven regiments of the enemy, who advanced across' a bridge and were endeavoring to secure a position on this side of the river. They fought until they were near ly cut to pieces, and then retreated only because tbey had fired their last round. It was at this juncture that the immense Yankee force crossed the river, and made the dash on our line, which well nigh proved a success. The timely arrival f Gen. A. P. Hill, however, with fresh troops, entirely changed the fortunes oi the day, and,af ter an obstinate contest, which lasted from five o'clock until dark, the enemy were driven into and across the river with great loss. During this light the Federals had succeeded in flanking and capturing a battery belonging, as I learn, to the Brigade of General Toombs. Instantly dismount ing from his horse and placing himself at the bead of Mb -command, .the General, in his effective way, briefly told them that the battery must be retaken if it cost the life of every man in Ms brigade, and then ordered them to follow him. Follow him tbey did into what seemed tho-very jaws of destruction, and after a short but fierce struggle they had the satisfaction of capturing the prize and restoring it to the original possess ors. Throughout the day there occurred many in stances of personal valor and heroic sacrifice on the part of both officers and men, but at this ear ly hour it is impossible to gather from crude statements, those truthful narratives wbicu ought to auoru me pages oi History The results of the battle may be briefly sum med up. Judged by all the rules. of warfare, it 0N. Notice. . THE 17th DAY OF DECEMBER nt. on the nrtmuu.
