J. G. WalkHarper's Ferry. Thus Jackson was fully on time. McLaws, who had not half the distance of Jackson to march, entered Pleasant Valley on the 11th, and on the 12th proceeded towards Maryland Heights. The way was rough. The Heights themselves were notores. During the 14th McClellan had thrown forward Franklin to Cramp ton's Gap, through which McLaws had entered Pleasant Valley. After a spirited resistance by Colonel Munford's cavalry and Mc-Laws's rear guard, the mountain pass was forced, asurrender of Harper's Ferry, McLaws who, on the morning of the 15th, was hedged in by the garrison at the one end of Pleasant Valley, and by Franklin at the other, was relieved from his unpleasant position.

Susanna Martin, an aged woman of Amesbury, Mass., was tried and executed for the alleged crime of witchcraft. Her home was in what is now known as Pleasant Valley on the Merrimac, a little above the old Ferry way, where, tradition says, an attempt was made to assassinate Sir Edmund Andros on his way to Falmouth (afterward Portland) and Pemaquid, which was frustrated by a warning timely given. Goody Martin was the only woman hanged on the north side of the Merrimac during the dreadful delusion. The aged wife of Judge Bradbury who lived on the other side of the Powow River was imprisoned and would have been put to death but for the collapse of th

of the Merrimac, and invited friends and guests in other sections of the country. Its thoroughly enjoyable annual festivals were held in the early summer on the pine-shaded, laurel-blossomed slopes of the Newbury side of the river opposite Pleasant Valley in Amesbury. The several poems called out by these gatherings are here printed in sequence. once more on yonder laurelled height The summer flowers have budded; Once more with summer's golden light The vales of home are flooded; And once mich is everywhere Beneath the skies of June; The Hawkswood oaks, the storm-torn plumes Of old pine-forest kings, Beneath whose century-woven shade Deer Island's mistress sings. And here are pictured Artichoke, And Curson's bowery mill; And Pleasant Valley smiles between The river and the hill. You know full well these banks of bloom, The upland's wavy line, And how the sunshine tips with fire The needles of the pine.

In the presence of these forces he had halted, justly deeming it too lataled to him the surrender of the place, he had very leisurely proceeded up Pleasant Valley, halting at Brownsville.

nally apprised of his march toward the east. He immediately made all necessary dispositions for intercepting him, if possible, before he could reach the Potomac. At one o'clock Pleasanton was ordered to proceed eastward, to occupy Mechanicsville, beyond the Blue Ridge, and to send his scouts in every direction, in order to discover the enemy; Cox's division was ordered to halt on its march westward, and to guard the crossings of the Upper Potomac; Burnside, whose corps was encamped in Pleasant Valley, one of the lower valleys of the Blue Ridge, was directed to occupy the railroad bridge on the Monocacy, and to watch that river. Lower down, Stoneman, who was stationed near Poolesville, was instructed to distribute his troops so as to protect all the fords of the Potomac, and to dispute their passage with Stuart wherever he might present himself. McClellan hoped thereby to retard the march of the latter, and to concentrate a crushing force against him; but Stuart, thanks to his own

ing his army along the ridge and the western slope of South Mountain. Three good roads enable him to divide this army in order to effect the passage. On the right, the First corps remains at Turner's Gap, while the Sixth and the remainder of the Eleventh join Schurz at Boonsboroa; the Third comes to a stop at Fox's Gap, while the Fifth, preceding it, descends as far as the village of Springvale; Slocum leads the left column, by way of Crampton's Gap, to Rohrersville, at the entrance of Pleasant Valley, which adjoins the Potomac below Maryland Heights. The enemy is not disturbed by this movement. Stuart, who was so active the day before, remains immovable on Beaver Creek, where he covers the approaches to Hagerstown and the upper course of the Antietam. On all sides Federal detachments that are following in the track of the great army of invasion, ready to throw themselves upon it if any disaster befalls it, have advanced without meeting any resistance.

to a Pandemonium as to its social condition. Thoughtful, courageous and principled patriotism should remember, that now is just the moment, "Rather to bear those ills we have, Than fly to others that we know not of." Gen. M'Clellan's headquarters. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, writing from the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac, October 13th, says: General McClellan again moved his headquarters this morning from the neighborhood of Knoxville to Pleasant Valley, behind the Maryland Heights. A long body-guard of cavalry and infantry, with a number of wagons, came winning along the road, followed at a long distance by a party in a carriage, consisting of Mrs. McClellan and a lady friend, with the baby and nurse, and the General. The latter was seated on the front seat with the nurse, reading a newspaper. The nearest point to this locality, where the Confederate cavalry are said to have recrossed to Virginia, was fourteen miles below. Gen
