west of Staunton. 1t was a sharp az
fair, and resulted in Banks' abandon
ing his plan of clearing the valley, and
in his returning to Strasburg.
On the goth of May, Jackson, joined
by Ewell started north from New
Market to attack Banks entrenched at
Strasburg. Every town IS marked with
the history of that campaign, and the
veterans who visit them will recall the
stirring scenes that filed the valley
through all the years of the war with
every species of excitement which bat
tie and campaign can give-the elation
of victory and the depression of defeat.
And this is true of every station which
the trains pass, for each was at times
the theater of alternating success, and
again for each the fields of defeat.
At this period, the celerity of move
ment on both sides Of the valley al
most rivaled the trains which hourly
rush through it. Banks fell back to
the Potomac, Jackson attacked Charles
ton, took it. and pushed on to Harper's
Ferry. Next came fifteen thousand
men from Mcdowell at Fredericles-
burg. through Manassas Gap, whose
mission was to "bag Jackson The
latter withdrew in great haste to
Strasburg 1t was race to save his
army. Fremont was closing in from
the west, Shields from the east and
Mcdowell waited at Front Royal to
seize his prey There was immense
stir and activity on all sides, but Jack
son won, and reached the upper valley
unscathed Over every step OF this ad-
vance aud retreat, the blood of the
union veteran who looks upon the ia
miliar places will run fast under the
quickening of memory.
Port Republic, Cross Keys and Har-
risonburg are close TO Staunton and
Waynesboro. There were hot battles
| near the latter place. AT Port Repub-
lie, Jackson fell upon Shields and
avenged Kernstown At Cross Keys
he defeated Fremont. Both were
famous engagements. He captured the
union garrison at Front Royal, and
drove Banks across the Potomac.
These were stirring months-the
three which made up the spring of
1862 They ended Jackson's operations
for the time in the valley. He sudden
ly and secretly withdrew and aston
ished Mcclellan by appearing on his
! flank at Cold Harbor.
From these most general statements
| and space does not admit of details, IT
will be seen that there was no other
spot during the early periods of the
war where movement and fighting was
so sharp and constant as on the She
nandcah.
With the autumn of 1862, the valley
began to witness campaigns on great
er scale.
In September, there came Lees first
invasion of Maryland, and while his
columns moved along east of the Blue
Ridge, the valley was alive with sup
ply trains, and all the varied accom-
paniments of great army's advance.

| treated from his defeat at Antietam,
and in it he gave his army rest and re-

The Cause of CoSwebs.

The celebrated English poet Dryden
had a wife who was ambitious to write
poetry as well as her husband. So she
shut herself up in her apartments to
compose verses. Sad to say, the serv-
ants took advantage of her absence to
neglect their work, and Dryden was
mortified to be obliged to receive his
friends in n room which plainly showed
their carelessuesS-

The author of "a Cruise in al Opium

Each of us had loose life line made

us get from under the boat in the event

the inverse order of dates. Thus it
was from Harper's Ferry that John
stou, early in 1881, began to maneuver
to check Patterson, and from Winehes-
ter that he suddenly started TO help
Beauregard at Bull Run.
When the campaigns in the valley
opened in March, 1862, Jackson was
virtually in independent command.
Banks advanced the first week of that
month, and forced Jackson back
through Winchester, Kernstown and
Strasburg to Mount Jackson west of

When 1864 openel it had been de-
cided that no campaign against Rich
mond or Gen. Lees army could oe sue
cessful unless the Shenandoah could
be cleared of confederate troops and
firmly held by the union forces.
Gen. Hunter succeeded Sigcl in May
of that year. He moved with great
energy and came to battle close along
the line of the Chesapeake & Ohio at
Piedmont, near to both Staunton and
Waynesboro. Thence he pushed south
to Lexington, and fought his way to
the entrenchments around Lynchburg.
Here Early, from Lees army, by
rapid march via Trevilian station,
further to the eastward on the Chcsa-
peake s. Ohio, had joined Breckin-
ridge. Hunter then began rapid re-
treat, and eIuding these forces, instead
of attempting to withdraw down the
valley which would have exposed him
to the dangers of movements in his
rear from Lees forces, struck directly
westward for the Kauawha valley. He
first rested at White Sulphur, directly
on the Chesapeake & Ohio, and then
moved along its line to Gauley bridge.
Thence Hunter finally reached the
Ohio river, and thence by boat and rail
was transported to the Potomac valley
again. When ne reached Cumberland,
on the Baltimore & Ohio, Early. who,
l,n r-o1' hy-
his westward march, had pushed down
to the Potomac, invaded Maryland,
and was well on his way to Washing
ton Then followed the tremendous
sensation of the Early attack upon
and final repulse from in front OF the
capital by Gen. Wright's corps from
Petersburg and part of the Nineteenth
corps from Hampton Roads. There
are thousands of western veterans who
will ind the valley full of reminders of
these stirring events

The season brought the great en-

however, he was compelled to with

Ferry, thus repeating the move which
had become as frequent for the valley
as the routine statement in the cur
rent dispatches after many battles:

SHENANDOAH VALLEY
A Region Rich in Historic and
Scenic Interest.
The Early Fighting Ground of the Fedora

Recalled by "A visit to Various

Especial letter.

Long before the Chesapeake & Ohio
enters the Shenandoah valley from the
west, the veterans who travel on 1t are
upon their early fighting ground. At
many turns the road comes upon the
lines of Gen. Cox in the Kanawha, of
Cook aud Averill under Sigel in the va
rious moves on Saltvilie, Wytheville
and the bridge over the New river, on
what was then the Virginia Central
road.
While running down to Staunton
both the natural beauties of the far
famed valley and some of its most
noted battlefields are under the eye.
In military sense the valley was a
vast covered way through which whole
armies with their trains and equipment
could move on the flanks of 'he hosts

On the I'd of March, 1855, BY the vic

Cbesareake & Ohio road, Sheridan

Thus, in outlines only, are recalled
the countless matters and the innu-

so successful was this great southern
soldier that at the north the Shenan-

of his troopers, leaving it bare as if

Aside from the interest with
which war history clothes this valley,
its natural beauties make a ride
through it, from Natural bridge, to
Harrisburg, Pa, one of the most at
tractive IN any land. While the val
ley, under the name of Shenandoah, eX-
tends only to the Potomac at Harper's
Ferry and Martinsburg, the ranges
which bound it on the east and west
still run northward to the Susque-

mace changes its name to Cumberland.
Like the region south of the river, it is
not only rich, but notable for It's stir

Antietam, and the movements before
and after Gettysburg attest
As part of the natural attractions,
the Luray caves and the Natural
bridge have a worldwide reputation,
and are properly classed among its
wonders Both are within a short
ride of Staunton or Waynesboro.
But to the veteran, these Will hold
secondary place beside the various bat
tlefields with which these valleys are
thickly dotted. Every foot south of
the Potomac was fighting ground;
every town was at some time the head
quarters of well-known forces; nearly
every farmhouse was a hospital, and
some of the dead and wounded of the
many. contests had fallen on every
acre. On the union side Fremont and
Sigel. Milroy and Shields, Hunter and
Banks, Kelley and Crook, Wilson and
Sheridan and Others of note had there
met jackson, Ewell, Early, Stewart,
Ashby and the advance of Lee in
force. There were innumerablc small
affairs, and many extended and fierce
engagements. Columns in advance
and in retreat ebbed and flowed
there through every year of the war
while every gap opening eastward
poured its footmen and its horsemen
upon the flanks, first of the one army
and then of the other.

To prevent any wonder as to the rea-

An English Manufactured on the Effects of

Mr. Bernal Bayneshawe, Of the Leeds
Forge Company, one of England's larg-
est manufacturing concerns, after a
protracted visit to this country, has no
doubts about the effect of protection on
wages. He is quoted by the Boston
Journal as follows:
An English manufacturer is bound to kick
long and hard when he is excluded from so i'm
portant market as the United States, but he
is long-headed enough 10 know, after surveying
industrial and manufacturing conditions in this
