t Harper's Ferry, it was destined to start from its head in the mountains and to illustrate a glorious campaign on its banks, equalled by few and surpassed by none. We got to know the Shenandoah; we crossed it on the grand march to Manassas; we fought over it at Front Royal; the echoes of Bolivar sent the ring of our rifles across its bosom to Loudoun, and thence they leaped back to Maryland; and at Mount Jackson and Rood's hill we trusted to the river to protect our flank while we fronted Fremont's pursuit; at Cross Keys and Port Republic again its pure waters were mingled with blood. In this quiet nook General Ewell remained until he started on the glorious campaign down the Valley, which at once placed the name of Jackson by the side of the greatest soldiers. The campaign of the Valley. The evening Ewell arrived at Conrad's store Jackson marched from there. He had been followed up the Valley by Banks and Shields, who were then near New Market, and had taken refuge from the

Then the rattle of musketry indicated that we hoped to stay for the night, knowing that Fremont had been sharply checked, and we had our facetect a battery with which he was driving back Fremont's pursuit at Rood's Hill, and another place all with the provisions the country afforded.

While Fremont pressed Jackson steadily up the valley pike, Shields was re passed his whole train over the river and turned to face Fremont who was then at Harrisonburg, six miles off. Early on the as the position: Jackson with his back to the river facing Fremont six miles off, while in his rear two miles distant Shieldshe same time, Ewell was thrown on the advancing columns of Fremont. Eight hours hard fighting stopped him. By this time Shiehe 9th of June we crossed the river, Gen'l Trimble holding Fremont back with his skirmishers, until the last man and horse wa, and before we had time to attend to the enemy's wounded, Fremont appeared on the opposite side, within easy range for artils Gap, while we were left as rear guard and picket to hold Fremont back at the fords.

Huger's brigades may have numbered 6,000 at this time. Thus the Confederates were able to concentrate about 65,000 men to oppose the 150,000 which were about to unite against them. It would be hard to find a finer illustration of the adage, that fortune favors the brave than occurred at this juncture. Stonewall Jackson, after defeating Fremont's advance in the mountains of West Virginia, and while he was supposed to be one hundred and fifty miles away, suddenly surprised Banks at Front Royal and Winchester, and driving him in confusion and route across the Potomac, advanced to Harper's Ferry. Jackson and his 16,000 men created a marvelous panic at Washington and throughout the North, the accounts of which at this day read like the pages of a romance. The Federal Capitol was believed to be in danger, 300,000 men were called for

the First Maryland regiment. [written in July 1863.] By General Bradley T. Johnson. Paper no. 6. (Conclusion.) The capture of dispatch Station — behind M'Clellan. The conduct of the Regiment at Cold Harbor was probably more creditable than any action they ever performed. The fighting actually done by them really amounted to nothing — nothing in comparison to the gallant dash at Harrisonburg, nor the deadly struggle at Cross Keys where, hour after hour they rolled back the attack of Fremont's regiments in that terrible storm of iron and lead. Going into action late, over ground filled with dead and wounded, swept on all sides by shot and shell, while battalion after battalion came back in disorder, they moved on unshaken as steadily as iron, silent, steady, and attentive, they obeyed every word of command promptly, and accurately, and at last stormed the strong position of McGee's house at a right shoulder shift arms and without firing a shot. When the rush of disordered tro
