thorizes the Secretary of the In
terior to designate as stockraising

Hands "the surface of which is, in
his opinion, chiefly valuable for
grazing and raising forage crops,

the war of the Rebellion, and in charge
of the troops here at the time of their

soldiers of which Mr.. Fay was one. OF
this interesting event, one of the most
daring in the history of the war when
it is considered that six or eight thous-
and Federal troops were encamped at
Cumberland, Lowdermilk' S History of
Cumberland, says:
FAY'S PART IN CAPTURE OF CROOK AND
KELLY.
lone of the most startling events in
the history of the war occurred here on
the night of the 21st, or early morning
of the 22d of February Q865), when a
small body of Confederates entered
Cumberland and took two maior-gener-
ais from their beds, while not less than
5000 or 5000 troops were encamped in
the city
This daring invasion was made by
McNeill's Rangers, and was partici-
pated IN by a number of Cumberland
ers, who were perfectly familiar with
every foot of ground about the place.
One of the leading spirits of the en-
terDrise was John B. Fay, who per-
formed the duty OF scout. He, with
G Richie Hallar, a young Missouri
ian, crossed the Potomac near Brady s
Mills, and from some acquaintance
obtained thorough information as to
the number of troops in Cumberland,
the location of the various headquart
ers, pickets, etc. With this fund of
knowledge they returned and reported
the facts to Lieutenant McNeill. Some
sixtv-five men, number of them be-
longing to various companies of Cen
eral Rosser's cymmand, under Nc
Neill and Fay, at once started for
Cumberland. They again crossed the
river near Brady's Mills, and almost
within hearing distance of a cavalry
picket. A portion of the command
went to the house of S. D. Brady,

CUMBERLAND IN
THE CIVIL WAR
Capture of Generals Crook and
Kelly and Part Taken in the
Event by John B. Fay.

The Cumberland News of last Friday
published a haiftone of Mr.. John B.
Fay, dressed IN his Confederate uni
form, with an historical sketch of Mr..
Fay and the part he took in the capture
of Generals Crook and Kelly at Cumber-
land during the Civil War.
The Republican has taken the liberty
of making some corrections in the
article and publishes it herewith:
The picture here shown is that of
John B, Fay, one Of the older members
of the Allegany county bar, but now re-
siding at Dunn Loring, Va, near
Washington, D. c. Mr.. Fay practiced
his profession here for a number of
years, going from here to Oakland,
where he became the EDITOR of the
Mountain Democrat, until moving to
Washington. Mr.. Fay is a veteran
Confederate, having served in the army
of the South during the War of the Re-
bellion. At the close of the war he re-
turned to Cumberland, studied law and
soon became prominent in his profession.
During the late Hon. William Walsh s
term in Congress, Mr.. Fay was his pri-
vate secretary, and through Mr.
Walsh's influence was appointed to a
government position, which position he
still holds At the recent Confederate
Reunion, the first ever held In Washing
ton, MIR. Fay took prominent part,
appearing in the Confederate uniform
shown in the picture, and while thus
fraternizing with his old comrades he
did not forget his venerable Confeder-
ate friend, Judge j, B. Oder, of the
Orphans Court, and founder and editor
of the Frostburg Journal for over forty
years.
The chief matter of interest that
centers in the life of Mr.. Fav, which of
course took place when he was quite a
young man, was the part he played in
the capture of Generals Crook and
Kelly, officers in the Rebel army during

The PEOPLES FORUM.
People Do Not More Than Half Re-
aliZe The Seriousness Of the Crisis
Confronting The Nation.

TO the Editor of The Republican:
Just now the American people are
facing a crisis. We do not seem to
more than half realize the situation
that confronts US. The government
has found it necessary to take the mat
ter in hand. The world needs food We
in America have enough and to spare
though we have to pay needlessly
high price for it. More indeed than Is
just or right. Our wheat crop this
year will be shorter than it was last
year, but it is hoped the corn and po-
tato crop will supply the demand. The
demands of armies, and the ruthless
waste of war require larger consump-
ton. So we face the proposition of
greatly enlarged demands. increased
needs and diminished supply. Never
before has the world stock of food
known to be at so low point at least
not in modern times.
The Allies are asking for $50 million
| bushels of wheat this year, but the
prospect is that with U. S. and Canada
will not be able to give them more thar
300 million bushels. But with wise
management and sufficient measures
there will be food enough for all the
Allies and we have enough for our,
selves, and enough more to send abroad
to keep the needy Allies supplied. II
this we haye to consider the submarine
danger. They will send to the bottom
all they can, so there must be enough
sent to meet all demands making allow
ance for this loss on the way.
Should we fail to feed ourselves anC
the men fighting for US across the
waters the great cause which we have
Joined may be lost. We can't fail t.
see then that we must produce abun
dainty and give lavishly to the Allies
There must be retrenchment on Cul
part. Eat no more than we need anC
save the waste. Our extravaganza is 6
national sin. 1t is bound to bring awfu
results. We are engaged in a warfare
against the preposterous doctrine thai
might makes right" Should oul
lack of self restraint prevent US from
taking our proper part in this mighty
conflict, it would be lasting disgrac,
to US.
Few indeed have any proper con
ception of the amount that is wasted il
this country. On an average, 1t is es
timated that every family wastes $50
a year. One ounce of food wasted each
day in every, home means yearly waste
of nearly 500 million pounds of food
Waste a single slice of bread in every

amongst them Lieutenants Mcneil
and Fay, ]. L. Vandiver, Joseph Kuy-
kendall, John Cunningham, James
Daily, Charles Nichols and Isaac Par
sons, Where a consultation was held.
Mcneil proposed to capture the
picket and return, as he was afraid
it was too late to do more before
daylight. Fay and a majority of
others opposed this, and without de-
Law the command was ordered for
ward. When the cavalry pickets
were reached, the raiders were chal-
lenged, but by quick dash they cap
tured the pickets before a gun could
be fired. The countersign, Bulls Gap,
was extorted, and with thif the Con-
federates had no difficulty in securing
the picket post which was stationed
at the junction of the ri"er road and
the old pike, Just below Steele's. Ten
mln were then Get il d t. secu.e
General Kelly, and put him in charge
of Sergeant Joseph Kuykendall; ten
others to take General Crook and turn
him over to Sergeant Joseph l.. Van
diver. Sprigg S. Lynn and Charles
Ncho l. were in the first squad. Lieu
tenant Fay's duty was to take a num-
Der of men and destroy the telegraph
lines. The party then rode rapidly
along the road to Green street and then
leisurely across the bridge and along
Baltimore street to the Barnum House,
bsndying words occasionally with guards
on the street. Hating in front of
Barnum's, the headquarters guard was
taken in custody, and compelled to
point out the rooms of General Kelly
and Adjutant ThaYer Melvin, both of
whom were aroused from their sleep,
and requested to dress as speedily as
possible. The astonished general
and his aid quickly comprehend
ed the situation, and submitted. Mean
time, similar scene was being enacted
at the Revere House where General
Cook was sleeping in fancied security
Lieutenant Fay had also done his work,
completely destroying the office of the
military telegraph. Eight of General
Kelly's best horses, among them his
favorite 'Phillippi, were captured and
the Confederates rode off with their
prisoners, taking the tow path and
crossing at Wiley's Ford. Shortly
after their departure the alarm was
given, and a company of mounted men
went in pursuit The fugitives were
overtaken near Romney. and skirmsh
followed. but the prisoners were beyond
recapture.
General Hoyes, Lightburn and
Duval were in camp in the city at the
time, but the confederstes, having car
ried out their plans to the very latter,
did not stop to hazard further harvest
of generals. This event caused much
excitement throughout the country
and was commented upon largely in
every direction. The captured officers
were sent to Richmond, and shortly
afterwards exchanged
