r was pleasant and the scenery beautiful. The Potomoc, with its many rapids fringed with trees and bushes, green with their new foliage, with hills and mountains making on the opposite side a background beautiful and picturesque, made a scene long to be remembered. The canal wound along the bank at the foot of the mountains, which, as they neared Harper's Ferry, rose in steep crags and precipices with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad running between. Arriving opposite the town on the 13th of March, the men landed, crossed the pontoon bridge to Harper's Ferry and formed in the street, on which stood the ruins of a United States' Arsenal, the scene of John Brown's exploit, which at that time was filled with rebel prisoners. Then they marched back to the hill and encamped in Boliver, situated on higher ground above the village of Harper's Ferry. As the command stopped here for a day, the men had an opportunity to look around the place. The ruins of the government works, and the pl

rom behind the breastwork of rails which they had piled up for their protection. The men soon began to collect these and build fires, but the commander did not interfere, realizing that there are times when necessity overtops all rules. The men were wet through, were tired and hungry and to save the regiment from possible serious sickness, fires were indispensible. By the next night Dana's brigade had reached Berryville, where it joined the other two brigades of the division, under command of Brig. Gen. John Sedgwick. It was not destined, however, to remain in the Shenandoah Valley with Banks for, on the the 15th of March, the Division started early on its return to Harper's Ferry and encamped on Boliver Heights, occupying the deserted houses, which made very comfortable quarters. Here the command remained until March 24. It rained steadily all the time, and the streets, cut up by the constant passage of heavy teams, were reduced to a condition rivaling those at Muddy Branch.

lock itself was spanned by a narrow plank walk. Two men had been drowned by falling into the lock, and the noise of the race had prevented their cries being heard. Late one night, Capt. Weymouth of Company G, commanding the outpost, heard someone struggling in the lock and calling for help. He managed to fish out the unfortunate person, who wore a Brigadier General's uniform, and put him in front of a fire in his quarters, dressed in clothing furnished by the officer on duty. It was in December, and he was not only nearly drowned but as nearly frozen to death. The man proved to be Governor William Sprague, of Rhode Island, on his way to Poolesville to visit some batteries from his state which were stationed there. He had taken a notion to ride up the tow path of the canal in the night, from Washington, so as to reach Poolesville by daylight. As he had the countersign and parole, he could pass all the pickets. He had fastened his horse and endeavored to reach the storehouse, wh
