In "York, Pennsylvania, I found two
large maliufnctoriex engaged in making
railroad cars for the Government, which.
of courae, it was my duty todeslrny ; but a.
slight. exnminftion satisfied me that to
burn these would seriously endanger a
large portion of the u'an; and hence I
upru-ed them fora moderate ransom. On
my return. I partly relraced my advanced
tuck, and was greatly surprisml to find no
little evidence-or trace of the passage ofso
large an army. In fact, except. in horses
and forage for the army. very little damage
lnitl been sustained. ’ ‘
Recently. in Maryland. the house of Gov

orders. ButJ mun n‘dd thatl approved it;
and had 1 been present woald have ordered

house of Governor Leloher. whom I know
to be I. very poor nun. and whose fund!

clothing or other valuables. Afterwards,
when in front of Washington, some of my
troops were very determined to destroy the
house of Mr, Francis I’. Blainend hgrd ac~

ably supposing it to belong to his son,. the
member of the Federal Cabinet. As soon

placed a. guard to protect it. The house of
his; son, Montgomery Blair, I member ut‘
