at Harper's Ferry was too small, and
heavy force under Jackson surrounded
the place on Saturday, and after sixtv
hours hard fighting. during which Gen.
Miles, in command Of she Federals, v~
mortally wounded, the post and 5000
of our men were taken, which opened

Jackson has re-en,ered Mary land and
heavy battle was progressing. With cir

Whether this be so or not, one thing

popular he is cried down. Changes sre
constantly made because Of this jeal-
