York Battery, which had just arrived from Camp Barry, rejoined the rest of the Company in Frederick at 2 P. M. Here we found the Army of the Potomac still passing. The troops from Harper's Ferry were to join the Third Corps,—the celebrated fighting troops of Gen. Sickles, who, having lost a leg at Gettysburg, had left his command and was succeeded by Gen.

The spacious stable, too, that stood near by, was completely destroyed. The walls of the larger hotel and a part of its roof were in tolerably good condition. It was a four and one-half storied structure. A slat bedstead, minus the slats, still remained in nearly every chamber, and a hundred bells hung voiceless in the office. Running back en echelon from either fla
