      Antietam after battle report:

      Report of Col. E. D. Hall, Forty-sixth North Carolina Infantry,
      of the battle of Sharpsburg.

      HEADQUARTERS Walker'S BRIGADE,
      October 3, 1862.
      SIR: I have the honor herewith to submit a statement of the part that the
      Forty-sixth Regiment North Carolina Troops was called upon
      to perform in the late engagement at Sharpsburg, Md., on September 17,
      last:

      Early on the morning of the 17th, the regiment, together with the rest of the
      brigade, was placed in position on the extreme right, from which position it
      was moved, about 9 o'clock, to re-enforce the center, which was evidently
      hard pressed, the enemy gaining ground. I formed in line of battle, under the
      direction of Col. Manning, commanding brigade, who placed the
      regiment on the left of the brigade. We advanced through a corn-field into
      a heavy piece of woods, where the engagement was raging furiously, the
      men going into the contest in the best of spirits. Simultaneously with our
      entrance into the woods, the enemy commenced falling back in disorder, and
      we passed through the woods without seeing them. On arriving at the farther
      edge of the woods, I found the enemy in heavy force on an elevation, distant
      about 200 yards, with a battery of artillery in position on the crest of the
      hill. Between the enemy and the woods were two heavy panel fences,
      running obliquely. In face of such difficulties I thought it inexpedient to
      charge farther. I therefore placed my regiment behind a breastwork of rails,
      which I found just beyond the woods, in short range of the enemy, and
      commenced firing, my men being well protected. A short time after I had
      commenced firing, Col. Manning approached and informed me that he
      was seriously wounded and would be compelled to retire from the field, and,
      being next in rank to himself, the command of the brigade would fall upon
      me.

      Being so far on the left, I had lost sight of the other regiments in the
      brigade, except the Thirtieth Virginia and a portion of the Forty-eighth North
      Carolina, who in attempting to charge over the fences and up the ascent,
      found themselves so massed up that they were compelled to lie down in the
      face of the enemy and under a withering fire. In this position they suffered
      severely, and in a short time were compelled to retire. Owing to the nature
      of the ground, their maneuvers were accompanied by some disorder. I saw
      no more of these regiments during the day. All things considered, that
      portion of the Forty-eighth Regiment and the Thirtieth Virginia behave d as
      well as any troops could who were in such an exposed and fatal position.

      The Twenty-seventh North Carolina and the Third Arkansas were so far to
      my right that I saw nothing of them during the day, but was informed by
      officers of other commands that their conduct (under Col. Cooke, of the
      Twenty-seventh) was beyond all praise. I saw nothing of those regiments
      until the battle was over. One company from the Thirtieth Virginia and one
      from the Third Arkansas, which had been left on picket duty on the right,
      connected themselves with my regiment and throughout the day behaved
      handsomely.

      The falling back of the Forty-eighth North Carolina and Thirtieth Virginia,
      on the immediate right of the Forty-sixth North Carolina, left a wide gap
      open, which the enemy began at once to take advantage of in order to
      re-enter the woods, though a galling fire was kept up by that regiment on
      their advancing line until I deemed it unsafe for that one regiment,
      unsupported, to remain in position while the enemy was massing upon its
      right and rear. The Forty-sixth, therefore, fell back, by my instruction, in
      good order and without the loss of a single straggler. I carried them out of
      the woods, and was met by Gen. Jackson, who ordered me to report to
      Gen. McLaws. Gen. McLaws ordered me to endeavor to hold the
      woods at all hazards. I then advanced in line of battle to the edge of the
      woods, which by that time was filled with the enemy, and placed the
      regiment behind a ledge of rocks, throwing
      out Company A and the company from the Thirtieth Virginia, as
      skirmishers. These were, shortly after, driven in. I then sent word to
      Gen. McLaws that of he would protect my left I would charge the woods.
      A few minutes after, a brigade, which proved to be Gen. Barksdale's,
      passed on to my left. As soon as it entered the woods, I moved forward and
      came upon the right of Gen. Ransom's brigade, which had been engaged
      and had succeeded in driving the enemy from the woods. Having only my
      own regiment with me, I informed Gen. R[ansom] that I would connect
      myself with his command, to which he readily consented. We then took up
      our position in line of battle, as much protected as the nature of the ground
      would allow, and remained all day and night, the enemy evincing no desire
      to contest the woods with us, but satisfied himself with opening on us a very
      heavy fire of artillery, hoping by that means to drive us out. Although our
      loss by this fire was considerable, we held the position until the cessation
      of the battle.

      From what I saw of the brigade and what I know of the Forty-sixth
      Regiment and the two companies before mentioned, which were connected
      with it, I am sure their conduct will meet the approbation of the general
      commanding. From the comparative security afforded by the rail breastwork,
      the losses of the Forty-sixth were not [as great] as they would otherwise
      have been.

      The conduct of the officers and men of the Forty-sixth was all that I could
      desire; and I must take the liberty of mentioning with commendation the
      conduct of Capt. [H. R.] McKinney, of Company A; he behaved with
      great gallantry. Adjutant [R.] Mallett also performed his duties with great
      ability.

      I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

      E. D. Hall,
      Col., Commanding Walker's Brigade.

      Capt. W. A. Smith,
      Assistant Adjutant-Gen.
