ve all supplies to Frederick, occupy Maryland Heights with Major Doubleday's heavy guns, and a brigade of infantry to support them, and with every thing else — horse, foot and artillery — to cross the Potomac at Point of Rocks, and unite with Colonel Stone's force at Leesburg, from which point he could operate as circumstances should demand, and as the General's orders should require. No reply was received; but on the 27th, the General telegraphed him that he supposed he was that day crossing guns, and on the 30th gave the order to cross. On the 2d of July he crossed, met the enemy, and whipped them. On the 9th of July a council was held, at which all the commanders of divisions and brigades, and chiefs of staff, were present. Col. Stone, the junior line officer, spoke twice and decidedly against an advance, advocating a direct movement to Sheppardstown and Charlestown. All who spoke opposed an advance, and all voted against one. On the same day, he informed the General-in-Ch

him, and, rough as I was — just out of the woods — attended, that night, a very pleasant party at the house of a lady, whose name I cannot recall, but who is now the wife of Captain Arnold, Fifth United States Artillery. At this party were also Mr. and Mrs. Frank Howe. I found New Orleans much changed since I had been familiar with it in 1853 and in 1860-61. It was full of officers and soldiers. Among the former were General T. W. Sherman, who had lost a leg at Port Hudson, and General Charles P. Stone, whom I knew so well in California, and who is now in the Egyptian service as chief of staff. The bulk of General Banks's army was about Opelousas, under command of General Franklin, ready to move on Alexandria. General Banks seemed to be all ready, but intended to delay his departure a few days to assist in the inauguration of a civil government for Louisiana, under Governor Hahn. In Lafayette Square I saw the arrangements of scaffolding for the fireworks and benches for the aud

line, which reached nearly to the ever-to-be-remembered Sandtown road. Then, by further thinning out Thomas's line, which was well intrenched, I drew another division of Palmer's corps (Baird's) around to the right, to further strengthen that flank. I was impatient to hear from the cavalry raid, then four days out, and was watching for its effect, ready to make a bold push for the possession of East Point. General Garrard's division returned to Decatur on the 31st, and reported that General Stone, man had posted him at Flat Rock, while he (Stoneman) went on. The month of July therefore closed with our infantry line strongly intrenched, but drawn out from the Augusta road on the left to the Sandtown road on the right, a distance of full ten measured miles. The enemy, though evidently somewhat intimidated by the results of their defeats on the 22d and 28th, still presented a bold front at all points, with fortified lines that defied a direct assault. Our railroad was done to th

h, I rode to the head of General Howard's column, and found that during the night he had ferried Stone's brigade of Woods's division of the Fifteenth Corps across by rafts made of the pontoons, and trd on a log, watching the men lay this bridge; and about 9 or 10 A. M. a messenger came from Colonel Stone on the other side, saying that the Mayor of Columbia had come out of the city to surrender t, and asking for orders. I simply remarked to General Howard that he had his orders, to let Colonel Stone go on into the city, and that we would follow as soon as the bridge was ready. By this same the limbs of the trees, reminding us of a Northern snow-storm. Near the market-square we found Stone's brigade halted, with arms stacked, and a large detail of his men, along with some citizens, enar by, piles of cotton bags filled with corn and corn-meal, partially burned. A detachment of Stone's brigade was guarding this, and separating the good from the bad. We rode along the railroad-tr

Stone, inspector-general of the District of Columbia: General Scott: Gosport navy-yard has been burned. Colonel Stone: Yes, General. General Scott:Colonel Stone: Yes, General. General Scott: Harper's Ferry bridge has been burned. Yes, General. General Scott: The bridge at Point of Rocks was burned some days since. Yes, General.

Yes, General. of Columbia volunteers would be fighting in defense of their homes and would fight well. After considering the plan outlined General Scott thus replied to Colonel Stone: Your plan is good.

y worn in the streets of Baltimore, barring the way of the would-be rescuers. The veteran Virginian, General Winfield Scott, at the head of the United States army, had gathered a few light guns in Washington. His soldierly assistant, Colonel Charles P. Stone, had organized, from department clerks and others, the first armed body of volunteers for the defense of the threatened center, and within a few months the first-named was superseded as too old, the second imprisoned as too Southern— an ens' brigades compare notes with the so-called California Regiment, raised in the East, yet led by the great soldier-senator from the Pacific slope, before they, the Californians, and their vehement colonel marched away along the tow-path to join Stone's great division farther up stream.

ps and plans were often missing after the exit of some visitor. such vital information as this was constantly sent across the Potomac: in a day or two, twelve hundred cavalry supported by four batteries of artillery will cross the River above to get behind Manassas and cut off railroad and other communications with our Army whilst an attack is made in front. For God's sake heed this. It is positive. and again: today I have it in my power to say that Kelley is to advance on Winchester.

Garfield, chief of staff, Army of the Cumberland, in march, 1863, asked, who is Tinker Dave Beatty? one would like to learn what Crook had heard about the Tinker.
