September. 1862. This was the
first time; the Confederates had
crossed that stream, previous to
that time they having remained
on the Southern or Virginia side
of that river.
After the defeat of Pope's
army at the battle of "Second
Manassas," the week previous,
uen. Liee determined to remain
no longer on the defensive but to
cross the Potomac and assume
the offensive. Tha Federal forces
had retired to the defences
around Washington after their
recent defeat and were more con
cerned about defending that city
than about eapturirg Richmond.
By crossing the Potomac Gen.
Lee hoped that the presence of
his victorious army in Maryland
would arouse the Southern sym
pathizers in that State and would
so alarm the Federal authorities
that they would draw their
troops from every quarter for
the defence of their capital and
thus relieve, for awhile at least,
Virginia from being the seat of
war.
Although thousands of our
troops were barefooted and had
gone through a most fatiguing
and bloody campaign, fighting
many battles, with McClellan
near Richmond and with Pope at
Manassas, yet they entered upon
this Maryland campaign with joy
and high hopes. As they forded
the Potomac bands played and
the men sang "Maryland, My

holiday excursion. Strict orders
were issued and rigidly enforced
against pillaging and plundering,
in most pleasing contrast to the
conduct of the Federal soldiers
when in Virginia.
Upon arriving at Frederick,
several miles across trie Potomac
in Maryland, Gen. Lee ascertain
ed that there was still a large
Federal garrison at Harper's
Ferry, and as it would be impru
dent to leave so large a force of
the enemy in his rear (which
might cut off his lines of com
munication) he determined 1o

that nln

force to capture Harper's Ferry,
while he and the greater part of
his army moved to the neighbor
hood of Hagerstown. This was
a dangerous movement, this di
vision of his army when a much
larger force was near, and great
celerity and rapidity of move
ment was necessary for success.
Jackson with his troops by rap
id marches hastened to Harper's
Ferry and invested that place,
cutting off all avenues of escape
or re-eniorcements. His troops
ana artillery were posted on the
heights surrounding the town on
all sides and . a most destructive
fire was poured upon the be
leaguered garrison, which con
sisted of nearly 13,000 men. Or
ders had been received by the
commander of the garrison to
hold out to the last and not to
surrender, as several thousand
Federal troops were hastening to
the rescue, but at the end of two
days (on the 15th of September,
1862,) the white flag was raised
and the entire garrison surren
dered. This was the surrender

troops that occurred during the

The Federal official report shows
that their loss in killed, wounded

was so severely censured was
Col. D. S- Miles, who was mor

white flag had been raised and
before the actual surrender had
taken place.
This capture of Harper's Fer
ry was one of the most notable
events of the war and the cir
cumstances connected with it
make most interesting reading.
The day before its capture (on
the 14th of September) was
fought the bloody battle of Boons-

Gen. D. H. Hill withstood with a
