rom the Northern prisons, where he had expiated, during two months, the crime of having once slept too soundly near the Federal outposts. Since then he had thought of nothing but to revenge himself for his mishap, and to catch in his turn some Unionists in flagrante delicto. But his victims must be officers of high rank; he determined to go in search of them in the very centre of the Federal quarters, at Fairfax Court-house, between Washington and Hooker's army. Several regiments were encampenoise and looking for the enemy behind each tree. But suddenly the few isolated shots which, like funeral knells, had resounded in the distance, are followed by a furious discharge of musketry which bursts at once in every corner of the wood.

the bulk of his division at Smithsburg, one of his regiments enters Hagerstown without firing a shot, on the very line of Lee's communications with Virginia. These communications had been interrupted in a much more serious manner two days before. French had remained at Frederick with his infantry division and the cavalry which McReynolds had brought back from the disaster at Winchester to cover Washington and to watch the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry. In the afternoon of the 2d some Unionists gave notice to McReynolds that Jones and Robertson, after crossing the Potomac on the 1st of July on the pontons near Falling Waters, had left an insignificant guard at that place. The dull sound of the cannon had summoned to Gettysburg, since the previous day, all those detachments which the Confederate army had left behind. It was an excellent opportunity. One of McReynolds' regiments had started on the evening of the 2d, under the command of Major Foley, and by a rapid march had arri
