make clam before Congress on behalf of
the State, for damages on account of the
burning Of two bridges on the route from
Washington to Frederick, destroyed by order

July, 1864. Gen. Wallace, in response to
inquiries from Mr. Thomas, saws he ordered
the burning of the bridges to retard Early S

facilities for crossing the stream, aud that

ering numbers Of Early's troops making 1t
