than once at the service required of him, receiving each time in reply a peremptory order from Jackson to hold his position. He finally retorted: Oh! well, old Jube can die if that's what he wants, but tell General Jackson I'll be----if this position can be held! The brigade moved off next morning, leaving me in the grip of the ague, which reported promptly for duty, and, thanks to a soaki. I could not account for their being where they were, and when they informed me that they had Jackson surrounded and that he must surrender next day, though I openly scouted the notion, I must own surrounding us. Other prisoners came in from time to time who brought the same unvarying story, Jackson hard-pressed — no news of Longstreet yet. So the day wore on. Toward evening there was a noticPope's defeat. I was paroled and back in Richmond within ten days of my capture, and then and there learned how completely Jackson had made good the name of Stonewall on his baptismal battle-field

Longstreet's corps went to Hagerstown, thirteen miles from. Boonsboro‘, and I was directed to distribute my five brigades so as not only to protect the wagons and guns, but also to watch all the roads leading from Harper's Ferry, in order to intercept the Federal forces that might make their escape before Jackson had completed the investment of that place. It required a considerable separation of my small command to accomplish these two objects, and my tent, which was pitched about the center of the five brigades, was not less than three miles from Turner's Gap on the National road crossing South Mountain. During the forenoon of the 13th General Stuart, who was in an advance position at the gap in the Catoctin Mountain, east of Middletown, with our cavalry, sent a dispatch to me saying that he w

Iremember Jackson seemed in high spirits, and even indulged in a little mild pleasantry about his long neglect of his friends in the Valley, General Lee replying that Jackson had some friends in that region who would not, he feared, be delighted to see him. The arrival of a party of ladies from Frederick and vicinity, to pay their respects to Lee and Jackson, put an end to the conversat

eformed Church in Frederick is also true. There is only one account of Stonewall Jackson's entry into Frederick, and that was written by a Union army surgeon who act was done, however, by Mrs. Mary S. Quantrell, another Frederick woman; but Jackson took no notice of it, and as Mrs. Quantrell was not fortunate enough to find ar deed she never became famous. Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas, who was with General Jackson every minute of his stay in Frederick, declares in an article in The century for June, 1886, that Jackson never saw Barbara Frietchie, and that Barbara never saw Jackson.

The hospital stewards had a corps of men distributing straw over the field for their comfort. Turning from the scenes of the hospital, I ascended the hill and came upon the men who had been the first to sweep across the Hagerstown pike, past the toll-gate, and into the Dunker Church woods, only to be hurled back by Jackson, who had established his line in a strong position behind outcropping limestone ledges. There are not many of us left, was the mournful remark of an officer. I learned the story of the morning's engagement, and then rode to the line of batteries on the ridge by the house of J. Poffenberger; if my memory serves me there were thirty guns in position there pointing south-west. There was a lull in the strife.
