things Of which ought to have spoken to
You before, and if you do not like them, it
is net too late to retire even now from OUT

be placed on railroad train, which was
captured by Gen. Custer, with all the

burst or spiked. and the gun.carriages de-
stroyed, on account Of the bad condition Of
tho road. All tho rebel wagons captured

idan, with the main column, came mp. and
pushed on through Rockfsh Gap to Green
