ny OF brave and daring boys have travelled
over more country, done more fighting and
taken more prisoners than any other com.

himself in the two engagements, one at the
mouth OF LRmberts run, and the other At

the act was so daring that the enemy we're
terror stricken and doubtless thought Row

Except for this desperate move there can
be NO doubt that Jones would have taksn
Clsrksburg that night, or have taken mn
his line of march on the railroad for the
