ave some of them shot or hung; that may convince some of the particular individuals concerned that they are not in the right track exactly. . . I have not told you about our camp at this place. It is in a large grass-field on a hill a little out of town, a beautiful grove near by. Your father and I share the same tent, a very large round one, pitched under a tree. Seth has one near by — an office; Lawrence Williams another as office and mess-tent. Marcy, the two Williamses, Judge Key, and Lander mess with me. Poe and the rest of the youngsters are in tents near by. . . . I had a very complimentary despatch from Gen. Scott last night. He said he was charmed with my energy, movements, and success. Pretty well for the old man. I hope to deserve more of him in the future. Move at six to-morrow morning to overtake advanced guard, which consists of three regiments, a battery, and one company of cavalry. I take up headquarters escort and four regiments infantry; three more follow nex

tands well thus far. Burns's brigade came up during the night. I left them in the cars and crossed them this morning early. The wagons have gone over; a regiment of cavalry is now crossing, another battery will follow, and I will have everything well cleared up before the arrival of Abercrombie's brigade, which should be here by two o'clock. I will get it over before dark, also the heavy artillery and regular cavalry, if it arrives. I hope to be able to occupy Charleston to-morrow and get Lander to Martinsburg. It will then require but a short time to finish matters here. The roads on the other side are good; the country more open than near Washington. You have no idea how the wind is howling now — a perfect tornado; it makes the crossing of the river very difficult, and interferes with everything. I am anxious about our bridge. . . . Fairfax Court-House, March 11, 1862.--. . . None of our wagons came up until after I rode out this morning, so we got along as best we could la

The force at Romney being i procure supplies, and not venturing to attack Lander in his position, Jackson fell back from Romneyce about the 23d of Jan. About the 5th of Feb. Lander obliged him to evacuate Romney entirely. LaLander now moved his headquarters to the Paw Paw Tunnel, from which position he covered the reconstrucing the severe illness from which he suffered, Lander remained at Paw Paw, covering the railroad anding this brief campaign I was obliged to check Lander rather abruptly for attempting to assume contrommanding. On the same day I telegraphed to Gen. Lander as follows: We hold Charlestown. A[3 more...]
