A Baby Left on his Door Step.

About midnight on Monday last Mr.. j.
b. Harriss, near Bells Mill, this county,
was aroused from bed by two men who were
in buggy and who Informed him that there
was package on his doorstep, sent TO him
by "A friend at Rockville. He at first refused
to open the door, but as they were so per
sistent he finally made an investigation,
when, 10 his amazemeDt, he found basket
well filled and containing robust boy baby,
perhaps three weeks old. The little fellow
was well equipped, having bottle OF milk,
a bottle of paregoric and a bountiful supply
of cloth ing of fine quality, indicating that
the little fellow is OF well TODD parentage.
AS soon as the men saw Mr.. Harriss in
possession Of the basket they drove off at
rapid rate, but Mr.. Harriss was not to be
baffied go easily. Leaving his find in pos
session of bis wife he mounted bis horse
and galloped alter the men for three miles
in the direction of Cabin John Bridge. On
the road he called to bis assistance Mr.. Frank
Embrey, who joined him, and after long
chase the fleeing party was overtaken near
the Cond nit road. One Of the men, finding
that they were about 10 be overtaken, jumped
from the buggy and took TO the woods The
remaining occupant proved to be Dr. -,
of the District Of Columbia. He, however,
refused to give the name of his companion
or apy particulars concerning the child.
Mr.. Harriss has concluded TO keep the
child, at least for the present as he has none
of his own, and it has doubtless found
good home. The baby is an object of much
interest to the curious.
The Doctor informed Mr.. Harriss that if
he had been armed he would not have been
detained, regardless of the consequences.
1t is thought that his companion was young
man formerly Of this neighborhOod, but now
of the District, who acted as guide for the
Doctor, who had been employed by its pa
rent to find home for the waif
POTOMAC.

woods, where, in the morning, we had first
formed line, we approached the backsmith's s
shop but there found a detachment of the
Secession cavalry and thence made circuit,
avoiding Cub Run Bridge, into CentervIiie,
where found Cen Mcdowell, and from him
understood that it was his purpose to rally the
forces and make stand at Centerville.
But about o o'clock at night received from
Gen. Tyler in person, the order
TO CONTINUE THE RETREAT
to the Potomac. This retreat was by night
and dsorderly in the extreme. The men OF
different regiments mingled together, ana
selne reached the river at Airing ton, some at
Long Bridge. and the greater part returned to
their former camp, at or near Fort CorcoTan.
reached this point at noon the next day, and
found miscellaneous crowd crossing over the
AGueduct and ferries. Couceiving this to be
demoraizing, at once commanded the guard
to he increased. and all persons attempting to
pass over to be stopped. This soon produced
its effect; men sought their proper companies
and regiments. Comparative order was re-
stored, and all were posted to the best advan-
tage.
/ herewith inclose the official report Of Capt.
Kelly, commanding officer Of the New York
69th; also, full lists Of the killed, wounded,
aud missing.
Our loss was heavy and occurred chiefly at
the point near where Rickettss battery was de-
stroyed. Lieut.. Col. Haggerty was killed about
noon, before we had effected a junction with
Col. Hunters Division. Col. Cameron was
mortally wounded leading his regiment in the
charge, aud Col. Corcoran has been issing since

moved the I'd Wis. and 10th N. Y.
closer to Fort Corcoran, and got things
in better order than l had expected. Of
course, we took it for granted that the
rebels would be on our heels, and We
accordingly prepared to defend our posts.
BY The 25th / had collected all the
materials, made my report. and had my
brigade about as well governed as any
in that army; although most of the 90
day men, especially the 69th, had be-
come extremely tired of the war, and
wanted to go home. Some of them were
so mutinous at one time that | had the
battery to unlimber, threatening, if they
dared to leave camp without orders, |
would open fire on them. Diills and
the daily exercises were resumed, and /
ordered that at the three principal roll
calls the men should form ranks with
belts and muskets, and that they should
keep their ranks until | in person had re-
ceived the reports and had dismissed
them. The 69th still occupied Fort Cor
coran, and one morning after reveille,
when | had just received the report,
had dismissed the regiment, and was
leaving, | found myself in a crowd of
men crossing the drawbridge ON their
way to a barn close by, where they had
their sinks. Among them was an officer,
who said: Colonel, am going to New
York to-day. What can l do for your"
/ answered: "How can you go to
New York / do not remember to
have signed leave for you"
He said: "No; he did not want a
leave. He had engaged to serve three
months, and had already served more
than that time. IF the Government did
not intend to pay him, he could afford
to lose the money; thafhe was law
yer, and had neglected his business long
enough, and was then going home.''
noticed that good many of the
soldiers had paused about us to listen,
and knew that, if this officer could defy
me, they also would. So | turned on
him sharp, and said: Captain, this
question of your term of service has
been submitted to the rightful authority,
and the decision has been published in
orders. You are a soldier, and must
submit to orders till you are properly
discharged. IF you attempt to leave
without orders. it will be mutiny, and
will shoot you like dog! Go back
into the fort now, instantly, and don't
dare to leave without my consent"
| had on an overcoat, and may have
had my hand about the breast, for he
looked at me hard, paused moment,
and then turned back into the fort.
The men scattered, and ] returned to
the house where | was quartered, close
by.
