Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 13, S62.-Government Of
ficials and citizens of Washington are
in hourly expectation of news that the
Union Army under Gen. Mcclellan has
caught up with and begun an attack
upon the Confederate Army of Gen.
Lee, which has invaded Maryland
northwest of Washington.
Latest reports indicate that the Con-
federates are in force on both sides of
the Potomac River above Harpers Fer
ry. They have withdrawn all of their
pickets from the vicinity of Centerville
and Fairfax Court House, Va, which is
regarded as sure sign that their en-
tire force has moved northward.
While reports reaching the public
from McClellan's army are meager, it
is known that a portion of Gen. Burn
sides force has advanced and occupied
the village of New Market, on the Bal
timore g. Ohio Railroad, about miles
from Frederick City. Previously the
Confederates were reported in force III
this village. but since there has been no
word of an engagement they probably
had moved on to another position be-
fore Burnside reached that point
Gen. Franklin's force has driven the
Confederates from strong military po-
sition on Sugar Loaf Mountain, in Fred
erick County, which commands view
of a large tract of country in all direc-
tions. Some resistance was made by the
Confederates posted there, but 1t was
soon overcome, with loss of half a
dozen Federal killed and wounded. The
Confederate loss Is not known.
The Confederates are reported to be
In force at Boonsboro, few miles west
of Frederick City. They have evidently
withdrawn most of their infantry from
the vicinity of Frederick City toward
the river at or near Sharpsburg, Md.
Recent developments have greatly
relieved the tension in this city. 1t
has now become apparent that Lee has
no immediate intention of turning in
the direction of Washington or Balti-
more Even should he now decide upon
that course, War Department officials
are confident that he would be over
whelmingly defeated by Mcclellan.
Only in the almost impossible event,
they say, of total rout of McClellan's S
army would Washington be in danger.
It is expected in military circles that
Mcclellan will be able to come up with
Lee and force a battle before the Con-
federates can cross over into Pennsyl-
vania, If that should be their desire.
