land Heights, after q hot march TO HArpers
Ferry and across the river up the old military
road to the top Of the mountain. The beautiful
views from the mountain - the men ascended
brought forth Ordinations of surprise and sat-
isfaction. The company was formed and de-
pioyed as skirmishers and a sham battle was
fought in the old fort at the top Of the heights.

before encanped and fought from those breast
works caused the men to drill with extraordi-
| nary precision.
