700 killed and wounded. Gen. Grant said'in
his official report that Wallace’s fight at MO-
nocacy was important to the Union cause,
since it delayed Early’s march toward the
capital by one day.

ON TO WASHINGTON.

Under his original instructions, Early was
gexpected to drive Hunter out of the valley
and then threaten Washington. The morn-
ing of the 10th, the day after the battle of
Monocacy, he sent his cavalry and the ad-
vance infantry out on the Washington road.
One division remained behind to destroy the
railroad and guard the rear from Sigel, and,
possibly, other detachments of Union troops
above on the Potomac. Hagerstown and
Frederick were promptly occupied by Union
cavalry, Stahel having come up from West
Virginia with Hunter’s mounted forces.

Meanwhile there were stirring alarms in
the direction where Early’s troopers were

rapidly riding.
Maj. Harry Gil-
mor, a Baltimor-
ean, leading a bat—
talion of rough and
ready horsemen,
reached the Phila-
delphia, Wilming-
tm and Baltimore
road, and held up
.1, two trains at Gun-
‘ powder river. Maj.
Gen. Franklin, of
the Union army,
was a passenger on
one of the trains and was seized as a prison-
er, but managed to escape. The charge was
made that some of Gilmor’s men forced the
male passengers to deliver up their valuables,
and Gilmor was brought to account for it by
his government, but he showed, as it was be-
lieved, that he had no personal knowledge of
such unsoldierly conduct on the part of his
men.

All of these startling occurrences spread
amazement in the north, and the threatened
points were in a fever of excitement. The
alarm bells of Baltimore rang out the call to

 

BRADLEY T. JOHNSON.

.arms on Sunday forenoon, July 10. The

neWs of a daring movement to break the
prison gates at Point Lookout, on the shores
of Maryland, between the Potomac river and
Chesapeake bay, created additional alarm.
This prison contained a good sized army of
Confederate prisoners of war, and there was
a plan on foot to send a force of Marylanders
from Lee’s army in Petersburg to cross the
Potomac in boats and charge on the prison
from the beach.

When released, the . prisoners would march
to Washington and join Early’s command.
This movement failed and Johnson’s raid only
added to the general alarm and aided to
bring about the detachment of troops from
the army in front of Petersburg.

On the 12th Early reached Rockville, ten
miles from the outer defenses of Washington.
The capital had been provided with a line of
massive forts, in the form of field works, be-
gimiing on the Potomac below Alexandria
and extending around to the Potomac shore
in Maryland.

According to the report of Gen. Barnard,
engineer of the defenses at Washington, the
line of forts and infantry trenches north of
the Potomac was garrisoned by. less than
4,000 artillery and infantry. There Were also
about 10,000 District of- Columbia volunteers,
veteran res'ervm and détachmefits of cavalry
and artillery, not organized. The artillery
could not be removed from the forts, but
there were 10,000 infantry and cavalry to put
in the lines. The Confederates deployed from
Rockville, between the Georgetown and Sil-
ver Springs (Seventh street) reads, a line
front of about six miles. Imboden’s and
Jackson’s cavalry led the advance, the Union
cavalry retiring before them.

The defenses at this point were high in-
trenchments, provided with ditches and ob-
structions of trees. There were three forts,
mounting very heavy guns: on the Union

 

 

 

 

SCENE or EARLY'S am.
right Fort Slocum, on the left De Russey, in
the center Stevens. Each fort could turn its
guns on the neighboring one should It be
taken by the enemy.

Gen. Augur commanded the defenses and
Gen. A. McD. McCook was in charge of the
detachments on the front line. Among the
troops were the One Hundred and Fiftleth
and One Hundred and Fifty-first Ohio 100
day militia; Warner’s and Haskin’s heavy
artillery brigades; Second Massachusetts
cavalry; Sixteenth Pennsylvania cavalry;
Second District of Columbia volunteers; Ninth
Veteran Reserve corps; Gibbs’phio battery;
Bradbury’s Maine battery, and several hun-
dred recruits from the camps unorganized.

But there were other defenders on the road
to relieve the capital._ 0n the night of the
9th the story of Wallace’s battle at Monoca‘
cy was telegraphed to Gen. Grant, at Peters-
burg, and Gen. Wright started north at once
with two divisions of the Sixth corps. and by
the middle of the afternoon landed attho
wharves of Washington. At the same time
800 men of the Nineteenth corps (on its way
from New Orleans) had been dispatched by
water to the capital. President Lincoln met
the troops and'rode with their commander,
at the head, out Seventh street. Gen. Wright
was directed to move to Fort Stevens. Ear-
ly’s men were now in front of that fort, and
as they marched up in front Gen. McCook’s
detachments filed into the ferts within sight
of the Confederate commander.

Early had received notice from Johnson’s
men, who had been scouting well down on
the eastern bank of the Potomac, that Union
troops from Grant’s army were on the way
up the river. He had‘spent the day in re-
connoitering the heavy works and preparing
for an assault, and he told his generals that
night that he would assault early in the
morning of the 12th. During the late after-
noon and the evening of the 11th Gen.
Wright relieved all the Union pickets with

I
I

 

his veteran soldiers, and firing immediately
began with Confederate sharpshooters who
were posted in buildings and trees in front.
On the morning of the 12th the president and
cabinet and groups of ladies took position in
the fort to watch the battle that was expect;
ed. In the opposing lines, the vice president
of the United States from 1857 to 1861, John
C. Breckinridge, commanded a division.

The experienced officers who were around
Gen. Wright believed that the best policy
Was to make no '
show of strength,
but permit the Con-
federates to charge
and use themselves
up against those
formidable l i n e s .
The president stood
on the parapet be- , '
side Gen. Wright, " .
until a sharpshoot- ,
er’s bullet struck '
down‘an officer of
the group, within
three feet of him,
and the general prevailed upon him to retire.
Finally, Gen; Wright decided to send out a
brigade and capture a height, crowned with
farm buildings, where the enemy appeared
in some strength. Bidwell’s Third brigade
of Getty’s division formed in two lines, the
Seventy-seventh and Forty-ninth New York
and the Seventh Maine in the first, and the
Forty-third New York and Sixty—first and
One Hundred and Twenty-second Pennsyl-
vania in the second.

Fort Stevens fired some shots ahead to
clear the way, and the line advanced gal—
lantly, brushing away pickets and carrying
the knoll after a stout resistance. Lieut. Col.
Johnson, Forty-third New York regiment,
was mortally wounded; COL Visscher, Forty-
third New York, was killed; Maj. Jones,
Seventh Maine, also killed. Maj. Crosby,
Sixty-first Pennsylvania, and Col. French,
of the Seventy-seventh New York, were
wounded. The killed and wounded in the
brigade numbered 280.

This demonstration showed to Early that
the reports of veteran forces from the army
of the Potomac being on his front were true,
and during the night he withdrew, and
marched all night along the read, up the
Potomac, halting at Darnestown.

 

GEN. J. C. BRECKINBIDGE.

THE WAR RESUMED IN THE VALLEY.

On the 14th Early crossed the Potomac at
White‘s Ford, above Leesburg, carrying all
his prisoners and captured material into Vir-
ginia. Among the captures were a drove of
beef and 1,000 valuable horses. FTom Lees-
burg the Confederates passed through Snick-
er’s Gap, crossed the Shenandoah Valley and
halted at Berryville. In pursuit Wright
reached Poolesville, on the Potomac, on the
14th, and remained until the 16th. On the
14th Hunter had reached Harper’s Ferry, and
on the 16th some of his troops were at Hills-
boro, northwest of Leesburg. On the 16th
Gen. Crook assumed command of all of Hun-
ter’s forces in Virginia. Wright and Crook
now united their columns and pushed on un-
til they crossed the Shenandoah and found
that Early was in retreat. Wrightnow re-
turned to Leesburg, according to instruc-
tions. Meanwhile Hunter had pushed his
old cavalry column, under Averell, and the
infantry of Crook’s command up the val-
ley toward Martinsburg and Winchester in
rear of Early, who retired to Strasburg,
placing Cedar Creek between his army and
the enemy.

While moving to Strasburg Early sent out
a division under Ramseur to head off Aver~
ell, who had about 2,500 men. Ramseur was
misinformed concerning the enemy, and was
marching along in column when Averell’s
men fell upon him and broke and scattered
his line so that it was useless as a weapon to
cope with an enemy.

TheSixthcorpshadncwreturnedto
Washington, it being still the opinion at
Union headquarters that Early would return
to Potersburg. Consequently there was no
force in the valley excepting Crook with his
infantry and Averell’s cavalry. These troops
were in position covering Kernstown. On
the 24th of July Early moved in four columns
to the attack. A column of cavalry was di-
rected around each flank to get Into the
Union rear at Winchester, and Ransom’s in-
fantry division moved by a detour to turn
the Union right flank. Crook commanded
the Union forces and had sent Averell. who
held his left, to move out and assail Early’s
extreme left.

In this maneuver Crook divided his force
at the moment when it was needed to act to-
gether. Early’s four infantry divisions moved
up against Crook’s right, left and center, and
overwhelmed his line, forcing a hasty retreat
down the valley pike. , The Confederate cav-
alry was not handled as one body at this
time, or Crook’s army would have been de-
stroyed. Gen. Ransom, whaaszumed to com-
mand all of ,Early‘s cavalry as one division,
was absent, sick, and the brigades acted Inde-
pendently. However, on cavalry brigade
got on to the pike, in rear of Crook, and de-
stroyed a wagon train. The, horses were cut
loose from one Union battery during the
panic, but Crook’s infantry hauled the guns
down the pike by means of drag ropes. It
wasadisusterfor (hook, butit had beena.
surprise, and the conduct (1 his men, over-
powered as they were, was not discreditable.

The retreat continued to Bunker Hill,
wheres bold stand was made. Early followed
to Bunker Hill, but did not again attack,
and on the 25th Crook (nosed into Mary-
land, rejoined Hunter and encamped at Ha-
gerstown. Early occupied Martinsburg and
destroyed the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
and burned the railroad bridge over Black
creek. At this time Early put into execu-
tion one of his most reckless plans for harass-
ing the enemy. In his “Memoirs” he says that
the burning of certain private residences by
Gen. Hunter during his Lynchbur expedi-
tion and after his return to the va ey, nota-
bly those of Senator Andrea Hunter, Con-
gressman A. R Boteler and Edmund I. Lee,
of the Lee family, caused him to take meas-
ures to retaliate by way of example.

On July 29 he sent Gen. McCausland with
his own and Bradley '1'. Johnson’s cavalry

‘brigades to burn the town of Chambersburg,
Pa, in default of a cash ransom of $100,000
in gold or 850031) in United States currency.
McCausland cromed the Potomac at Will-
iamsport, and to cover him Early moved
forward to the Potomac with the infant-
ry of Rodeo and Ramseur and Col. J. C.
Vaughn’s cavalry. Promptly, on notice that
Crook had been defeated at Kernstown on the
24th, the Sixth corps, which had not yet left
Washington, was halted and turned back
toward Harper’s Ferry. Crook had left
Averell at Hagerstown with his cavalry, and
had moved the infantry across the Potomac
eastoftheBlue Ridge. Onthedaythat Me-
Causland crossed the Potomac; Wright and
Crook united at Halltown, Va. ,, . , .

THE TORCH IN PENNSYLVANIA.

Chambersburg is twenty-six miles from the
Potomac. The only force within reach of
the route taken by McCausliInd was Averell’s
cavalry brigade, at Hagerstown. This Av-
erell swung around t6 cover the ’Washington

 

and Baltimore roads and
on unmolested, and
entered Chambers-
burg soon a f t e r
sunrise. The bur-
gees was away, but
some of the leading
citizens were
brought t o t h e
hotel, Where Mc-.
Causland had his
headquarters, and
w e re m a d 9 ac- '
quainted with the
demands of Early.
McCausland had a
written order to 00“ 3- 9mm“

fire the town unless the ransom should be
paid at once. The people vainly supposed
that Averell, who had been summoned, would
succor the town, and with some stubborness
they stated that gold was beyond their reach
and that there was not $50,000 in currency
within the town. Maj. Harry Gilmor was
selected to apply the torch, and his own de-
scription is found in his book, “Four Years
in the Saddle :” ~ '

“Deeply regretting that such a task" should
fall upon me, I had only to obey. I felt
more like weeping over Chambersburg, al-
though the people covered me with re-
proaches, which all who know me will read—
ily believe I felt hard to digest; yet my pity
was highly excited in behalf of these poor
Imfortunates, who were made to suffer for
acts perpetrated by the Officers of their own
government. The day was bright and in—
tensely hot. The conflagration seemed to
spring from one vast building. Dense clouds
of smoke rose to the zenith and hovered over
the dark plain. At night it would have been
a terrible object to behold. How piteous the
sight of those beautiful green meadows-
groups of women and children exposed to the
rays of a burning sun, hovering over the few
articles they had saved, most of them wring-
Ing their hands, and with wild geoticulations
bemoaning their ruined homes!”

McCausland moved outside of the town and
encamped, and Averell soon came up and
found his track and caused him to turn back
to the Potomac, which he struck at Hancock,
Md, July 31.

According to Maj. Gilmor’s narrative, Gen.

McCausIand rob

 

.McCausland ordered a levy upon this plabe

of $30,000, which was so out of all reason
that we Marylanders [Gilmor led a Mary—
land battalion] remonstrated, but to no pur~
pose. He told the principal men of the place
that, unless the money was ,paid, he would
burn the town. To this I and all of my men
objected, saying that too much “Maryland
blood had been shed in defense of the south
for her towns to be laid under contribution
or burned. ‘I perceived, too, that his men
were inclined to plunder. After a consulta-
tion with Gen. Johnson [another Maryland-
er], I brought my whole command, and sta-
tioned two men at each house and store for
their protection. Before the money could be
raised, Averell‘s troops arrived and attacked
our pickets and outposts, and a lively little
fight occurred, chiefly in the streets and on
the pine hills northeast of the town.

Averell was in force and attacked McCaus-
land, and he moved on westward towards
Cumberland. At Cumberland there was a
force under Gen. B. F. Kelley, that had been
in observation along the Potomac above
Harper’s Ferry for two years, proving effi-
cient as outposts in every campaign in that
region. McCausland now had Kelley in
front and Averell in the rear. He skirmished
with Kelley until dark and then started for
the Potomac and drove off the guards at the
fords. The railroad here runs in Virginia,
and the guards fell back to the block houses
on the railroad, and, soon finding themselves
surrounded, they yielded, and McCausland
moved OR into West Virginia. Early, dur-
ing this time, was actively maneuvering to
aid McCausland and astonish h'm enemies.
On Aug. 14, when McCausland was supposed
to be still north of the river, Early sent the
cavah'y of Vaughn, Jackson and Imboden
along the Potomac.‘

The infantry of Rodes' and Ramseur’s di-
visions crossed over at Williamsport, and on
the 5th J ackson’s and Vaughn’s cavalry was
at Hagerstown. All of these demonstrations
helped to retain the troops that had been
sent away from Petersburg by Gen. Grant
on the Potomac—the old Confederate plan of
protecting Richmond by threatening the
north. McCausland halted at Moorefield,
W. Va... 8. point across the Alleghenies from
Strasburg. Averell crossed the Potomac on
Aug. 4, at Hancock, close upon McCausland’s
track, and moving rapidly down upon lilo-
Causland’s camp, he struck it on the 7th,
surprising Johnson’s brigade. Leaving a bri-
gade under 001. Gibson to handle Johnson,
Averell took Col. Powell‘s brigade and as-
sailed McCau’sland's own brigade.

The entire body was thrown intoa rout
and Averell made captures of all of McCaus-

' ' “ _ land’s cannon and

420 prisoners,
among them Gen.
Johnson. Johnson
afterward escaped;
Averell lost 41 in

sent a division of cavalry from Petereburg-to

His plan was to map out a new military de-
partment and place Gen. W. B. Franklin or
Gen. Meade at the head of it with an army
large enough to clear the valley of Confeder-
ates, and also protect the border from inva-
sion. Sheridan had been relieved from the
cavalry corps at Petersburg, and ordered to
Washington for the purpme of taking the
cavalry . force of this new department,
where cavalry was so much needed. Gen.
Grant was at Monocaoy on Aug. 5, and, it
having been decided to leave Hunter in com-
mand of all the troops in the new depart-
ment, instructions were given him to estab-
lish a base at Halltown, fortify it and pre-
pare an army on a large scale to move into
the valley.

It was sup at the time that Sheridan
would lead t 9 active troops in the field, but
Gen. Hunter, on learning of the plan of com-
paign and the arrangements of commands
asked to be relieved. 0n the 6th of Au
he was relieved and on the 7th Sheridan as-
sumed command and proceeded to carry out
the orders given by Grant to Gen. Hunter.
