That made Sheridan mad and he retorted: Damn Stuart, I can thras clean him out.

rn Francis Scott key, who gave us our great national anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, and whose remains rest here. But let us proceed on our march. After blowing up the Monocacy bridge we filed through the town and soon struck the Boonesborough pike. Here it was that our pace was quickened, no one being allowed to leave the road to forage. What a contrast was our conduct co that of the opposing army, whose boast it was to live off the noncombatants, and especially is this true of Phil Sheridan, who said that a crow would have to carry his rations in his journey across the Valley of Virginia, such had been the wanton destruction of the growing crops, barns, &c. But soon it leaked out that we were bound for Harper's Ferry, at which point some 11,000 men under command of General White were stationed. So after fording the Potomac again and reaching Virginia we pushed on, gaining the heights overlooking this historic town made famous by the John Brown raid of Oct. 19, 1859, a

General Dix, you will perceive, has "shut down" on the rebel "personals" in the Daily News. The editor thinks the proceeding an "unwarrantable interference" in his business affairs. The Wheeling Intelligencer of the 20th says: "General Phil Sheridan and staff arrived in this city yesterday afternoon by special train from Parkersburg. General Sheridan is a small, thick-set man, apparently about thirty two or thirty-three years of age, and wears a light moustache and goatee." Mr.General Sheridan is a small, thick-set man, apparently about thirty two or thirty-three years of age, and wears a light moustache and goatee." Mr. Deshler, Treasurer of the Sherman Testimonial Fund, in a note to the Ohio State Journal, says the first contribution (after General Grant's) was made by a widow lady, who, as she presented her twenty-five dollars, remarked that, "as a friend and neighbor, she was present at the birth of William Tecumseh Sherman, and put upon him his first clothes." A young girl, named Deacon, belonging to Newcastle, New Hampshire, was making her bridal dress one evening last week, when a lighted kerosene l

but one instance out of a hundred. However, this winter's dreary catalogue of endurance is greatly brightened by a brilliant little exploit, of which our village was the scene on Sunday, the 22d. History will be replete with deeds of greater daring, but justice claims a record of the bravery displayed on this occasion. About four o'clock in the morning, a party of Yankees, numbering seventy-three in all, under command of Major Young (falsely representing himself to be a member of Sheridan's staff), passed around the town, and, avoiding the outer picket at Edinburg, dashed upon the reserve at an unguarded point, capturing sixteen men. Their recent successes rendering them very careless, they turned about and leisurely retraced their steps, but had not proceeded far when about twenty of our men, who were scattered through the country, were quickly called "to horse," and, commanded by their gallant leaders, Captain Granstaff and Lieutenant Moler, of the Twelfth Virginia, pursue
