Stonewall Jackson's intentions at Harper's Ferry. I. By Bradley T. Johnson, Brigadier-General, C. S. A. Major--General J. G.

I shall summon its commander to surrender. Should he refuse, I will give him twenty-four hours to remove the non-combatants, and then carry the place by assault. Do not fire unless forced to.

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 been in Frederick and had left a short time before.
