Of rebel cavalry reireated towards Frederick
and made several efs,rts to form agaia before

The reception OF our troops by the people

The old military barracks, built By Brad
duck in The last century, were used By th
rebeIs as j hospital. Nearly POO Of our sic
were there Who had been 1aken prisoner
hy rebsls, when they entered, but whom the
Here compelled to leave behind again. The
say they were treated in the kiDdcd
possible manner. The people say Lees proc
1amation las very little effect. Tue rebel

/ ! the whole region. Before leayiag, they Bile
up the iron railroad bridge over the Mouocac,
six ,ui]es from Frederick. This prevents raj
road communication no farther out from Bait
more thsn the 3loaocacy.
