He crossed the river at sunrise in their presence, Colonel Vaughn's official report to Colonel Hill. put them to flight, and captured their cannon and colors; the guns were found loaded, and spiked. As it had become certain that no considerable body of United States troops was approaching from the west, Colonel Hill's detachment was called back to Winchester. It being ascertained that some of the public property (rough gun-stocks) had been left at Harper's Ferry, Lieutenant-Colonel G. H. Stewart was sent with his Maryland Battalion to bring it away, which was done in about a day. Nothing worth removing was left.

ur, are neither continuous nor regular enough to afford material advantage for defense. It offers no advantage to one side not shared by the other. There are no strongholds in that section, and no positions effectual for defense against largely superior numbers. For the manner in which the progress of the enemy was resisted, the dispirited condition of the army, and its want of confidence in me, the reader is referred to General Hardee's testimony in the letter on pages 365, 366, and General Stewart's in that on pages 367-369. Mr. Davis's official course toward me, from the commencement of the war to the 17th of July, 1864, strongly contradicts all his statements in the message.
