To accomplish this, he detailed a few available cornpanies from Staunton to march toward Beverly, from which point they could menace and overawe the town of Grafton, the junction of the main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, with its branches extending to Parkersburg and Wheeling.

But the unskilful distribution of the Confederate forces and their inadequate numbers contributed t
