Owing to the mud and mire, it was not practicable for any number of horses to approach the river at any point except by the road Duel between a Union cavalryman and a Confederate Trooper. Several personal encounters took place during Stuart's raid. The one depicted here is described in J. S. C. Abbott's History of the Civil War, and Colonel Estvan, a Prussian serving with the Confederates, is given as authority for some of the details. The Union cavalry-man is described as a German. After a desperate fight with sabers, which was witnessed by the Confederate's comrades, and during which both men were severely cut, the Confederate drew a revolver and shot his opponent.--Editors. leading to the ford.

Barbara Frietchie had a flag, and it is now in the possession of Mrs. Handschue and her daughter, Mrs. Abbott, of Frederick. Mrs. Handschue was the niece and adopted daughter of Mrs. Frietchie, and the flag came to her as part of her inheritance, a cup out of which General Washington drank tea when he spent a night in Frederick in 1791 being among th 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 been in Frederick and had left a short time before. We were glad that the rebels had gone and that our troops came. My mother and I lived almost opposite aunt's place. She and my mothe

J. S. C. Abbott had the fairness to propose that this courtesy should be granted. and dodged the question formally presented by Amos A. Phelps, Cyrus P. Grosvenor, George Thompson, Joshua V. Himes, Ellis Gray Loring, and Mr. Garrison, whether the organization differed in principle from the existing anti-slavery organizations, or was merely additional and cooperative.
