Corporal McFadden, of the 47th

gave them up to Colonel Barton, at Fort

The Harper's Ferry Disgrace.

The di.graceful evacuation of Mary,

per's Ferry, stand out among the most
prominent and calamitous events of O
war of blunders and disasters.
Let us recall to the pablo mind and
place distinctly before ii the finding of
the military commission appointed to in
yestigste the matter. That commission
came to the following conclusions:
First. Colonel Ford should not have
been placed in command of the MARYLAND
Heights. He conducted the defense
without ability, he abandoned his posi-
ton without sufficient cause, and has
proven himself unworthy command in
the service.
Second. Upon Col Miles the commits.
sion is very severe. 1t pronounces him
incapable and censures Gen. Wool for
placing him in command.
Third. The commission is equally Sc.
we're upon Gen. Mcclellan. He was sen,

enemy from Maryland. lie marched

permits Lee with only $4,000 men, with
