Restoration Of . War Map.

On the second day after the battle of Pied
mont in this county in June, 1864, and whilst
Gen, Hunters forces were in possession OF
staunton, Capt. z. H. Bailey OF the First N. Y.
Regiment, who acted as Provost Marshal whilst
the Federal troops held Staunton, came into
the SPECTATOR Office and told us that he nao
the map which Gen. VIM. E. Jones had on MS
person when killed at Piedmont, and wnlcn
was stained with blood, and also some letters'
one of which, we remember, he said was rom
Gen. Bragg, He did not say then that ne nao
killed Gen. Jones. but 1t seems from his state
ment to Capt, J. H. Waters, to whom ne gave
the map to be delivered to Gen. Jones's family,
that he did.
Capt. Bailey was at that time quite hand
Some man, and by his manner made favora-
BILE impression upon our citizens.
He met, week ago, with Capt. ]. 81. Waters
at Providence Hospital in Washington, where
he is patient, as is also Mr. s. N. Miller ofthis
place, the adopted son of Capt. Waters, who
was there waiting upon him, and In the &C
quaintance thus formed, Capt. Bailey told capt
Waters of the manner of Gen. Jones's deatn
and gave him the map found upon his person
to be delivered to relatives of Gen. Jones. TINS
map is now in the possession OF Mr. Jonn M
Carroll OF this city, who will deliver 1t to those
entitled to receive it.
When Capt. Bailey told us of the map found
upon the person of Gen. Jones, we supposed II
was map prepared by Maj. Jed Hotchkiss, as
Just few days before that, he had shown us
map for that command which he had just COM
pleted; but in this we were mistaken, as 1t seems
that this map had been sent to him SONS
months before by Capt. w. F. Foster, and re
ceived Jan. 10th. 1868, and had been copied II
the Engineer Bureau, Nov. 1858, by W. L. Shep
