could not leave Culpepper and reach the Poto
mac before we were aware of it. The sequel
tells another tale.
On the evening of Sabbath, June 14, 1863,
we heard that Gen. Milroy had been threaten
ed by a superior force, at Winchester, Va., and
that the 'United States troops had been driven
out of Martinsburg. The affair seemed inex
plicable, and many chose to disbelieve the
story. On the morning, of the next day (Mon
day) a large number of wagons, belonging to
the ,wagon train of Milroy, passed through
town at a fiirious rate. The teamsters were
evidently iu a most woeful " panic," and" said
the Rebels were jusi id their , rear, and that
they bad been fired into on this side of the
river. Despite the former indifference of our
eitizeus, the panic somehow became contagious.
The merchants ; who , had 'already began to'pack
up their goods, hurried still more, and made
haininer aud• nails fly fester than' ever.—

Ou Sabbath, June 21st, was chosen by
Ferguson's gang to make a systematic pilagiug
of the stores. in some of the stores, a great
quantity of goods were destroyed.. The order
given by an Artillery Captain, in front of S.
H. P. & Co's store, was ordered to "dismount
and ransack the store"." Mr. Riley's store had,
a day or two previously, suffered heavily by
these men. The lasses it is impossible now
to state. If it bad not been that our merchants
had a portion of their stock sent East, there
would have been a clean sweep made.
Maj. Paxton took possess;on of the ware

for its protection, and forbade soldiers from
entering its grounds or the houSes of citizens,
Under penalty of severe punishMent. They
ordered the stores to be opened, declaring that
they wanted certain artieles, and would

thing was done by them in an orderly manner.
No pillaging by soldiers was permitted. What
they took was taken bTappointed officers, who
