76, and from that date all Massachusetts was free from the presence of the enemy to the end of the war. The next test of the military fealty of the people was by the war of 1812. That was the second war for Independence caused by English arrogance, and was urged by the South against the protest of the East. In that contest, which was mainly naval, there were notable victories won under Northern leaders, but the greatest injury to British shipping was done by privateers, chiefly sent from Baltimore, which captured nearly three hundred ships and many thousand prisoners. Wingfield Scott made himself and his regiments famous at Chippewa and Lundy's Lane, while Andrew Jackson whipped Packenham at New Orleans with men from Louisiana, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. Next the Mexican war, preceded by the adventurous help for Texas rendered by Lamar, Houston, Fannin, Crockett and other like spirits from Tennessee and Georgia, when the blood of the South crimsoned the Alamo, and afterw

d never was a fine country so devoid of water as that part of the Valley. There was an occasional fine spring, but they were rare, and very few streams crossed the pike. Canteens, which were in camp voted a nuisance, were in demand on that march. Whilst at Darkesville on 3d July, William Hughes joined the company, also Beverley R. Jones; and on the 5th, William G. Williamson joined us; and on the 6th, Robert B. McKim, a student of the University of Virginia, on his way to his home in Baltimore. We went into camp in the woods several miles north of Winchester, east of the Valley pike, and the camp was named Camp Johnston. Here, on the 7th, we were joined by Joseph Packard, and on the 9th by James P. Smith. In a few days, about the 13th July, we marched to Winchester, and encamped northeast of the town, our battery in an apple orchard and the rest of our brigade near. Here, on the 14th, there joined us Richard C. M. Page; on the 15th, John J. Williams; on the 16th, James G

In His Grave. We took the train to Indianapolis, thence to Columbus, thence to Camp Chase, where we were kept for three months. About the 1st of August we were given the alternative of taking the oath, or going to hard labor on the fort. We took the oath, but none the less loyal to that banner that has been forever furled, and the grand old leaders of the Lost Cause. On our homeward journey, at Wheeling, W. Va., where we arrived in the early morning, and spent the day, an elderly gentleman and two young ladies came to us and inquired if we were Confederate prisoners, and when told that we were, gave us nice refreshments. At Baltimore we went to the Soldiers' Home, and had good food and every comfort. From there we went to Fortress Monroe, thence to Petersburg, and on to Danville. We switched off to B Junction, and there a kind old gentleman gave me my first greenback dollar, and I was glad to get it. Our next stop was at Greensboro, N. C., and then we were soon at home.

well as to place with his column my cavalry force, he proceeded, following a ridge road to Westminster, which he reached at 5 P. M. At this place he had a skirmish with a detachment of Federal cavalry, which he pursued a long distance on the Baltimore road, a pursuit that took him further away from the army of General Lee. The line of march taken by General Stuart on the right of the enemy brought on several skirmishes, which consumed much more time, the consequences of the loss of which is would be impossible. He considered it of great importance that the enemy's army should be kept east of the mountains, and, consequently, he determined to move his own army to the east side of the Blue Ridge, so as to threaten Washington and Baltimore, and detain the Federal forces on that side of the mountains to protect those cities. He directed me to countermand the orders to General Ewell and General Hill, and to order the latter to move eastward on the road through Cashtown and Gettys

Now Stuart did ride severely toward Baltimore, Baltimore, and near to the gates of the city.

better information, he changed his mind, and concluded to cross to the east side of the South mountain range and take position at Gettysburg—a strategic position of great importance because of the many excellent turnpike roads which radiate therefrom. At Gettysburg he would not only occupy an excellent position from which to fall back toward the Potomac, if found necessary to deliver or receive battle; one safely covering his line of communications, but one threatening both Washington and Baltimore, as well. He thereupon sent to General Ewell, at Carlisle, the following order, found on page 943, Part 3, Volume XXVII, of the War Records. headquarters army of Northern Virginia, Chambersburg, June 28, 1863.

set to work to prepare and perfect our arrangements, the first object of the plan being to communicate with the prisoners on Johnson's Island, informing them that an attempt would be made to release them. This was effected through a lady from Baltimore, a Mrs. P. C. Martin, then residing with her husband and family in Montreal, and whose husband did all in his power to aid us in every way. She brought a letter from Baltimore, which General (J. J.) Archer, who with Major-General (I. R.) TrimblBaltimore, which General (J. J.) Archer, who with Major-General (I. R.)

The obstacles alluded to were the United States steamship Michigan and the prison guard.

There was never any interruption of Lee's communications. 5. Colonel Marshall says that General Lee took his army
