=, the shenandoah Valley

The second lecture of the Y. NJ. G. A.
course was given Friday evening by
Col. r. Z. McGlincy. Attractions else
where limited the audience somewhat.
Those present highly enjoyed the colo
nel's narrative of incidents in the Shen-
andoah valley during the late war. This
valley extends from the Maryland line
southwest in Virginia some $50 miles.
II varies in width from eighteen to
twenty miles, to few hundred yards.
The lecturer described it in graphic
manner; told of the thrifty settlers ana
their contentment with their condition
and surroundings in what they consid-
cred the best spot in the United state S
If not in the world. The valley so fer
tile in all the products Of the region,
was the natural storehouse Of the con-
federacy, and realizing This it was the
aim of the federals 10 destroy all In the
valley that they could not appropriate
and that would otherwise fall into the
hands of the enemy. Parts of the nara
tive related to Col. McGliney's personal
experience while in command of SOL
diers, and was at times amusing. Speak
ing of the way the presses ground out
confederate currency, and its compara-
lively worthless character, he told, as
an illustration Of values, that he once
paid s4OO for hat, not very good one
either: and 5000 for pair of boots.
The boots were too small for him and
he traded them to captain of infantry.
They wore about two weeks, when the
captain expostulated with Col. NC
Glincy, who in turn went to the Ger
man of whom he bought them. That
worthy explained that they were not
infantry boots, but cavalry boots. The
talk ended with a description OF Har-
per's Ferry and the engagement when
ended i'm the federal surrender of ii ,OOU
troops, seventy-three cannons, etc.
Col. Miles commanded the federalS ana
his surrender was considered entirely
unnecessary, as had he held out lew
hours Gen. Mcclellan would have re-
| lieved him. This occurred Sept. 10,
1862. James Kee, Of Elgin, was in the
engagement. Col. Davis, of the feder-
ais, escaped with about 1000 cavalry
men.-Elgin Adrocate
