he evacuation was made. From a narrative by General Early I make the following extract: A very valuable part of the property so lost . . . consisted of a very large number of picks and spades. . . . All of our heavy guns, including some recently arrived and not mounted, together with a good deal of ammunition piled upon the wharf, had to be left behind [II., 94]. The steamboats he mentions were controlled in Richmond. As to the loss of very valuable picks and spades, Colonel Henry To Douglas, chief engineer at Yorktown, wrote to me, May 12th, 1883: Region between Washington and Richmond. I was at Yorktown the evening before the evacuation commenced. I did not see any quantity of picks and shovels there, and cannot understand how they could have accumulated there when they were needed so much from Redoubt Number Five to Lee's Mills — that is, on the extreme right of our line. General D. H. Hill, who commanded in and near Yorktown, said, in his official report: We lost

in that I received no such order. On the contrary, as soon as he was informed that McLaws was in possession of Maryland Heights, Jackson signaled me substantially the following dispatch: Harper's Ferry is now completely invested. I shall summon its commander to surrender. Should he refuse I shall give him twenty-four hours to remove the non-combatants, and then carry the place by assault. Do not fire unless forced too. See statements by General Bradley T. Johnson, p. 615, and Colonel H. Kyd Douglas, p. 617.--Editors. Jackson at this time had, of course, no reason to suspect that McClellan was advancing in force, and doubtless supposed, as we all did, that we should have abundant leisure to rejoin General Lee at Hagerstown. But about noon I signaled to Jackson that an action seemed to be in progress at Crampton's Gap, that the enemy had made his appearance in Pleasant Valley in rear of McLaws, and that I had no doubt McClellan was advancing in force. To this message Jack

by me. The reasons for believing that General.Walker is mistaken in thinking that he ever received the order referred to by him, or one in any way intimating an intention of giving twenty-four hours delay, seem to me to be conclusive. Colonel H. Kyd Douglas was aide-de-camp to Jackson, and occupied, particularly in that campaign, peculiarly confidential relations to him. His home was near Sharpsburg and Shepherdstown, the scene of operations, and he probably knew as much of General Jackson'saking all these facts into consideration, we must believe that General Walker is mistaken as to the order he thinks he received, and that General Jackson never issued such order, nor entertained the idea of delaying the attack. II. by Henry Kyd Douglas, Colonel, C. S. A. In his article in The century for June, 1885, on Harper's Ferry and Sharpsburg, General John G. Walker said, in substance, that General Jackson, after Harper's Ferry was invested, informed him that he intended to summo

her daughter so religiously preserve is torn, but the banner was not rent with seam and gash from a rifle-blast; it is torn — only this and nothing more. That Mrs. Frietchie did not wave the flag at Jackson's men Mrs. Handschue positively affirms. The flag-waving act was done, however, by Mrs. Mary S. Quantrell, another Frederick woman; but Jackson took no notice of it, and as Mrs. Quantrell was not fortunate enough to find a poet to celebrate her deed she never became famous. Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas, who was with General Jackson every minute of his stay in Frederick, declares in an article in The century for June, 1886, that Jackson never saw Barbara Frietchie, and that Barbara never saw Jackson. This story is borne out by Mrs. Frietchie's relatives. As already said, Barbara Frietchie had a flag and she waved it, not on the 6th to Jackson's men, but on the 12th to Burnside's. Here is the story as told by Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. Handschue's daughter: Jackson and his men had b

Stonewall Jackson in Maryland. by Henry Kyd Douglas, Colonel, C. S. A. Roasting Green corn at the camp-fire. we had been faring very badly since we left Manassas Junction, having had only one meal that included bread and coffee. Our diet had been Green corn, with beef without salt, roasted on the end of ramrods. We heard with delight of the plenty to be had in Maryland; judge of our disappointment when, about 2 o'clock at night, we were marched into a dank clover-field and the order came down the line, men, go into that corn-field and get your rations — and be ready to march at 5 in the morning. Don't burn any of these fencerails. of course we obeyed orders as to the corn, but, the rails suffered.--extract from a letter written by Lieut. Robert Healy, of Jackson's corps. On the 3d of September, 1862, the Federal army under General Pope having been confounded, General Lee turned his columns toward the Potomac, with Stonewall Jackson in front. On the 5th of September
