Between the Hagerstown turnpike, at D. R. Miller's house, on the right, and Mumma's burning buildings, on the left, and the first fence of the ten acre cornfield on the east, and the further edge of the Dunker church woods on the west, over the middle of which space the 125th passed, 1667 men of the 12th corps fell, killed and wounded, and 85 were missing; 2590 were lost in Hooker's corps; 2210 in Sedgwick's di vision of Sumner's corps, and 23G in Franklin's corps, making the total loss on that part of the field 6691. The whole loss in McClel-lan's army was 12,410, so that over 56 per cent, of it occurred within the space described and in commands with which the 125th fought.

General Crawford, commander of the brigade, and afterwards of the division to which the 125th belonged, was wounded in the right thigh early in the day, but remained on the field till night. While the regiment was on the same line with the 124th and 128th Pa. regiments, Col. Saml. Croasdale, of the latter regiment was killed, and Col.

Some showed the painfulness of their death wounds and a few died so instantly that their limbs and the whole of their bodies retained the positions they were in at the moment the bullet executed its fatal mission.

One Confederate had been in the act of tearing his cartridge, and lay upon his back, still holding it in his fingers and up to his mouth. Another had been aiming his musket, and his arms were before his eyes, still aiming, as he lay there. In the field between the East and the West, where there had been a Confederate line of battle, about forty rods in length, they had fallen so thickly that if they had returned to life and risen they would have presented a very formidable front. The wounded of both sides within the Union lines, had generally received attention on the day of the battle, and the 18th were early in the day removed to the hospitals and all was done that was possible for their relief. Horses suffered in the battle in as if not in a larger proportion than the men.

They were a conspicuous mark, morelikely to be struck on account of their size, and easier to hit, and there was a disposition to disable artillery, if possible, by killing them. Without horses a battery was more liable to capture and for this reason the horses were often made targets rather than the gunners. Their bodies were everywhere strewn over the field, and, within a short time after death, became swollen to twice their natural size and added greatly to the unpleasant features of the scene. Much of the day after the battle was devoted by the Union troops to the burial of their dead. The Confederates may have buried some of theirs within their own lines; but that was not their real SOUTHWARD a.

FOBD. Superintendent, of the Sergeant had been caused by a small bullet or buck shot that struck and -entered the middle of his forehead. The body had not been disturbed by nend or foe. Cozzens took from it a pistol, and hesitating to turn it to remove the belt, a friendly Confederate, who was present, turned it for him. Pockets were examined and the money and other articles found were taken from them.

All of these were delivered to Captain Wallace. About noon Cozzens started with a detail of men to bring in the body, but an artillery fire was opened from the other side at that time and the detail was scattered. In the evening, Cozzens went out to the body, and, with the assistance of Isaiah Foster, William Friedley and another member of the regiment whose name he has forgotten, carried it in. Simpson's watch which had not been found in the first search, was in one of his pockets. Cozzens was within the enemy's lines and had several lively and interesting conversations with Confederates.

Seeing a wounded member of the 125th, he asked an officer if he might take across tbc- lines his regiment or a hospital The officer refused, saying that McClellan would not srrant a truce the day before and that they would grant none then.
