After the battle near Boonesborough closed, General Lee, as we have heretofore stated, withdrew his forces the same night to Sharpsburg. On Monday McClellan slowly followed. There was no fighting that day, and none the next, except a short and harmless cannonade in the afternoon. Wednesday was the day of the great fight, which lasted until night. The next morning the enemy retired, abandoning to us the battle field.
