HAND GRENADEs OF WAR OF I2.
Oid-Time Ordnance Found ut Fort Nc.

(From the Baltimore American.)
While examining the contents of the
ordnance storehouse at Fort McHenry
Lieut.. J. L. Holcombe. of the 12Sth
Coast Artillery, discovered several boxes
of old hand grenades which are sup
posed to be more than 100 years old.
The missiles are of the earliest make
used by the United States Government,
and were probably placed at the his
toric old fort when it was first erected
IN 1872. Owing to the way in which
they were packed the grenades had only
the slightest trace of rust upon them.
The discovery of the weapons recalls
bit of the ancient history of the coun-
try. In explaining their use Lieut.. Hol-
combe said that the grenades were
handled only by the srenadiers of the
ship. who, walking out upon the yard
arms of the oldfashioned fighting yes-
sells threw them into the ranks of the
enemy. An explosion followed which
created havoc.
They weigh about four pounds and
are shaped after the fashion of the
bombs used by Anarchists, and are iron
and loaded with gunpOwder.
Several days after the discovery one
of the new recruits at the fort was
found trying to dry the powder in one

the extreme right, followed the road up
the river, going further than McClel-
Ian had contemplated. :, He passed thru
the Insignificant village of Dranesville,
and one of his brigades pushed on t.
within Is miles of Leesburg, which is
nearly opposite Edwards Ferry. The
engineer officers had made sketches of
the country to enlarge the scanty to-
pogra phical knowledge of the front.
Mcclellan feared Mccall had gone
too far, and ordered him to retire to
Dranesyille. Mccall reported that he
had seen no signs of the enemy as far
he went, and Gen. Banks also sent a
dispatch from Jamestown, saying that
there were none of the enemy near
Leesburg. All this led Mcclellan to be-
lieve that the enemy had abandon

the Potomac towards Harpers Ferry

He sent the following dispatch to Gen.
Stone:
Camp Griffin, Oct. 90, 1861.
Gen. Mcclellan desires me to inform
you that Gen. Mccall occupied Dranes-
willie yesterday and is still there VIII
send out heavy reconnaissance today in
directions from that point. The Cen
eral desires that you will keep a good
lookout upon Leesburg, to see if thi.
movement has the effect to drive them
away. Perhaps a slight demonstra.
ton on your part would have the ef-
feet to move them.

In his report Gen. Mcclellan says
that:
Il wished Gen. Stone. who had only
line of pickets on the river-the mass
of his troops being out of sight of and
beyond range from the Virginia bank
to make some display of an intention TO
cross, and also to watch the enemy
more closely than usual. i did not di-
rect him to cross, nor did intend that
he should cross the river in force for
the purpose of fighting"
This is an endeavor to escape his
share of the disaster and only partially
succeeds. Everybody blundered in that
unhappy affair. and Mcclellan misled
