Nineteen years ago a small company
of citizens of Frederick , impelled by
curiosity , sought the ruof of ono of
the hotels iu that little provincial city
ofVestem Jfaryland , and watched
the inx-ading hosts under the rcbol
chieftain , Leo , as th6y disappeared
across tho' CatocUn Mountain , on
route to South Jlountain'nnd Antio-
tnm. Turning tlieir faces idly to the
south and cast this little group of noncombatants -
combatants , witnessed n scene far
more pleasing to their sight. The
far-axvay lanuscapo was tr.iced xvith
that xvhich , under the bright rays of
the September sun appeared to bo
rivulets of quicksilver llbVin'radii -
all up-hill and doxx-n nnd through
Jiuld and xvoodland towards a common
center in the xx-.iku of the distant ene
my. Soon the burnished streams developed
volopod into glistening columns of
invincible steel , and on n nearer np
preach tlio bronzed faces nnd xvcary
lorms of.tho tried nnd uallnnt vetbralis
of the Army of the Potomac loomed
up and inspired nfeelinu of conlidence
in this section of the country.
TIU : rutsT ni\v.
Skirmishing lines xvcro thrown out
"by the Union forces , and rifter leaving
the Monocacy had frequent brushes
xx'ith the rear guard of the enemy. As
the sox'or.xl columns reached the
outskirts of thd city' the little
party on the roof saw ' a
lone company of rebel cavalry
ridp back from the direction that their
main army hatl taken and dash doxvn
the national pike to engage what they
apparently assumed was but a line of
skirmishers. Reaching this advancing
troop the rebels dtish on xvith a char'
actoristic yell , but at that instant the
federals divided and disclosed a bat
tery of artillery xvhich had been mask
ed by the infantry. The Johnnies
turned about and dashed back , but
the gun xvas turned at the same time ,
and the match xvns applied. In the
excitement attending the anticipated
annihilation of the rebel visitors , how
ever , the piece xvns disarranged , and ,
instead of destroying the enemy , killed
all the horses attached to the battery ,
and did no further damage. This xvas
really the first gun in that celebrated
campaign , xvhich began the next day
in fatal earnest in South Mountain ,
and ended three days later on the
fields of Antietam surrounding this
modest and slow-going old town.
To obtain n comprehensive idea of
the extent and character of the con
flict between McClellan and Lee , and
a proper conception of the country
through which they fought , the visi
tor should start on a trip to the bat
tle fields , either from Frederick or
Middletown , and traverse the National
pike. This now famous road , while
An excellent and w ll kept thorough
fare , is prominent for two things its
historical reminiscences and its toll
gates. Braddock'a army used it in
1755 , on its way to Fort Duquesno ,
and Lee passed ox'er it as far as
Uooueaboro , in falling back to Antie
tam. Leaving Frederick in the early
morning to-day , the Commercial cor
respondent drove over this old pike ,
which taps one of the most pictur
esque and wealthy portions of the
state. Reaching the cmmmit of the
Catoctm mountain , four miles west of
Frederick , a most charming vioxv is
opened up to .the eye. Lying just below -
low is the celebrated Middletown val
ley with its fertile and highly culti
vated fields stretching for miles in
both directions , and dotted at fre
quent and irregular intervals by com
modious farm-houses and largo white
barns peculiar to this territory , while
just beyond , across this rich tract , are
the South mountains , forming an ap
propriate backbround to the beautiful
picture.
Middletoxx'n lies about the center
of this valley , a thriving single-street
village , closely built up for a milo
along the piko. Hero McClellan as
he came along with his myriad *
of armed patriots stopped
long enough to engage the services of
a number of old residents to pilot the
Army of the Potomac through the
fastnesses of South mountain , and
little urging did the people need , as to a
use their own expression , "McClollan
couldn't get the rebels out of this
country too soon. " All of these old
guides have passed axvay and not one
could bo found to-day ,
EX-PIIESIDENT HAYES AS A SOLDIEK.
The houses and churches of Mid-
dlotown xvero thrown open during and
after the South Mountain fight , and
in n fexv hours xvoro filled xvith wound
ed and dying soldiers. Among those
brought hero for treatment xvns ox-
president , then colonel , H. B. Hayes ,
who , when the bravo llono fell on the
summit of the mountain , xvas brought
axxay xvith a bullet through his arm.
He found a soft couch and kind
nurses at the modest home of old Cap
tain Jacob Kndy , a prominent Mid-
dlotoxvnflmorchant and farmer , who
the day before had boon one of the
volunteer guides of the army.
The homo of the Ituclys is on the
south side of the main street , near'tho
lower extremity of the town. It is a to
neat , txvo-story , double brick dwelling ,
and prominent in its good condition
and the comfortable and homo-like
air xvhich surround it. The interior
is neatly and simply furnished , nnd
bears many evidences of xx'oman's
handiwork and skill. Old Captain
Rudy xvas too liberal and sonorous
for his own good , and although pop
ular and comparatively successful in
business died after Mr , Hayes * acces
sion to the presidency , leaving his
family in greatly reduced circum
stances. IIu felt that Colonel Hayes ,
as ho still called him , would grant to
certain members of his ftunily em
ployment under the government , and
xvlulo Mr. Hayes did appoint the only
son of Captain Iludy to a place in the
Maltinioro custom-house , the father
felt that ho xvould make ono of hi
girls postmistress at Middlotoini , nnd in
ho died impressed xvith this idea. Af
ter his demise one of the Aliases Rudy
xvcnt to Washington xvith this object
In vioxv , and xrhilo for some reason
bho xx'as led to believe' the change
would bo made , she xvas disappointed.
" 1 ivied for the plnoe , " she said , to
day , "because it xvas father's xvish ; hut
xve never grossed the subject , because
the present posfmastor is n man of
largo family. "
The incident of Col. Hayes1 wound ,
nnd his sojourn at the homo of the
Iludys , has boon frequently used by
unfriendly correspondents ns nn ovi-
deuce of lack of gratitude on the part
of the ox-president , nnd some have
oven added color to their sensational
letters by describing the Iludy hotrio
ns n dilapidated hut , nnd the family's
condition ns ono of extreme poverty
nndxixnt ; but my intervioxv xvith Miss
Iludy did not leave nny imurcsaion
that they considered their former
guest .and patient aa ungrateful itt the
le.ist , The pooulo of Middletown remember -
member Mr. llnycs xvell , nnd speak of
him ns having been eccentric , obtain
ing this opinion from the fact that
during his convalescence ho xvas in
the hnbit of ignoring the primitive
sidoxvnlks of the toxvn in taking exer
cise nnd confining himself to the
street or pike. Mrs. Hayes xvns hero
also nt that time , having been sum
moned by n telegram fiom the battle
field.
Four miles beyond Middlotowu is n
toll gate immediately at the base of
South Mountain. As the writer drove
up to this point a young shoemaker
left his bench in the gntc-hnuso and
came out to collect the road tax.
"You are just a milo nnd n half
from the summit of youth Mountain ,
he said , in reply to an inquiry.
"Then this is near xxhero the battle
began ? "
"Yes , " said he. "The Federals
xvcro on tlmt hill just over there , "
pointing to some ploxx-cd fields oil' to
the left nnd rear , "and the rebels \voro
just up there , " indicatingn ridge back
of the gate to the right. Further than
this the young nrtisan xx-as ignorant ,
pleading youth as an excuse. A rus
tic bystander ventured the information
that the hardest fighting xx-as off to the
loft , up the mountain , on the Sharps
burg road.
on for a fourth milo , a road
was found leading from the pike nlong
thovsido of tluvmountnin , across to the
Sharpsburg road. A short distance
doxvn this road an old farmer was en
gaged in setting a noxv panel in n post
nnd rail fence.
"We're you here at the time of the
fight ? "
Giving nn affirmative nod , ho gave
his version of the fight betxveen Hooker
nnd Stonewall Jackson , better known
to history as "Turner's Gap , " in the
following original manner :
"The Yankees lay just over there
on that hill , and the rebels bnck hereon
on that ridge , flho rebels had n bat
tery cf txvo guns , one of which the
Yankees dismounted nnd drove them
back 011 Mountain Ridge , beyond the
first ridge. Then they got them on
the run , and Longstreet came doxvn to
reinforce them , but it xvas too Into.
The rebels then fell back to Antio-
tarn. "
Leaving the primitive historian at
his xvork , I drove along the mountain
road which joins the Sharpsburg road ,
about a mile from the pike. Half
way across an open space in the xvoods
gave an excellent view of the first
positions of Hooker and Jackson on
that bloody 14th of September , 1802.
The federal p'osition was in the open
country , on the western side of the
valley , at the foot of the mountain ,
and on a hill capped by fields , whoso
fertility and high state of cultivation
would warm the heart of the most
fastidious farmer ; an exposed position
with scarcely a tree to afford a shelter.
The position of the enemy , on the
contrary , was apparently almost im
pregnable , and a natural vantage
ground in a fierce conflict as that
which raged there : The ridge South
Mountain Kidgo as it is called is
covered xvith great bowlders and rocks ,
concealed by a heavy growth of hoes ,
and behind this again a second rally
ing point is Monument Kidge , a wilder
and more inaccessible mountain region.
There Jackson mudp his "second stand
after losing his initial position until
driven back through Turner Gap and
down the opposite Hide of the moun
tain.
tain.Tho
The conflict on the Sharpsburg
road must have been oven more haz
ardous and trying to the union loft
under Burnside , who entered the road
a mile or two xvest of Middletown and
forced their way to the top and
through Grampian's pass , leaving behind -
hind them a bloody wake only equal
ed by the forcing of the Antietam
bridge by the same brigades a few
days Later. The Sharpsburg road is
narrow , tortuous defile up the
mountain side , of sufficient xvidth
only for a single vehicle to pass and
bordered on either side by rocky
fields , bluffs and woods. A xvilder
region could scarcely imagined. Near
the summit , at a point whore the road
is cut almost bodily out of the rocks ,
it is lined on the left by a high stone fi
wall which extends upward for a distance
dc
tance of probably a quarter of a milo , xv
and at the upper extremity another xvni
ni
wall runs oil'at right angles along the in
cdgo of a deep xvoods. It was hero invc
that the first hardest fighting of the vc
day occurred. The mountaineers say vcE
that the rebels throw a Mississippi
regiment across the road hero and op K
posed Burnside's division , and that rthi
this southern troop came out of the hidi
first shock , leaving one-half of their
number lifeless in the road or behind
the stone wall. m

Tliero arc few- traces of this battle
be seen noxv ; but ono noux'onir re loT
mains xvhich xvill bo over regarded lom
with tender interest. It is on the m
summit of the mountain , a plowed m
field recently inclosed with a stake m
nnd rider fence and is a ahtfrt distance tl
above the stone fence referred to xvm
above. About a hundred yards back m
from the road , an old chestnut tree xvol
stands guard like a sentinel in tliu olbi
clearing , and just cast of it ] nn bim
ordinary mountain rock about thrco m
'
feet hig'h bears the unique inscription : "

Thh spot at the time of the figjit ti
xvas nn open place in the mountain , tifij
but becoming the property of Mrs. HI
Admiral Dalilf-'run , xvho has a summer HIM (
mor residence in this locality , it was at
enclosed. Not far from thin field iu n Hi
little hut xvhich has become notorious tl
history , It xvas formerly the habi lx
tation of an old mountaineer , since fifu :
dead , xvho contracted with the Union fu
authorities to bury some of tlio dead AC
confederates xvho fell at that point. 01
The old ogre had been digging u xvcll Ht
alongside of his hut to nupply water ,
but to secure more money in it as a
tomb , concluded to transform H into
one. Ho accordingly dragged the
bodies of the dead rebels to the well
by n rope tied around their necks nnd
dumped them in xvith little or no cere
mony , like the carcases of so ninny
brutes. Tradition hns it that ho dis
posed of threo-scoro in this manner ,
nnd it is nlso said that the govern
ment , hearing of his original nnd bru
tal method of interment , refused to
pay him for his service ( ? ) . After the
war the remains were disinterred and
buried in the Confederate National
Cemetery at Hagerstoxvn.
A short distance xvost of this point
is Crampton's Gap. from which this
portion of the battle of South Moun
tain took its name.

Western Maryland ; but this hostelrio
is no longer aland mark in the moun

some summer residence xvith beautiful
surroundings , nnd is told tlmt it _ is
noxv the pionerty of Mrs. Admiral
D.ilghron , the xvulow of the renox\-ned
nnxnl hero. She expended thousands
of dollaiiin its transformation , nnd
each sumner retires from thn National
Capital to this mountain eyiio , xxjhpro
she enjoys the pule nnd health-giving
air , and occupies her time in enter
taining visitors nnd doing little acts of
kindness among the families of the
mountaineers. 13ven noxv she is having -
ing built n handsome chapel in which
the snriounding inhabitants may moot
for worship and instruction.
Three and ahalf miles xvestof South
Mountain is Dooncsboio , .xvhero the
Boonesboro nnd Sharpsburg turnpike
breaks axx-ay from the .National ronil
and stretches axvay to this toxvn
through Keedysville. Ono milo beyond -
yond Keedysville on the top of the
hill n short distance back from the
pike is n neat looking , squnro brick
farm house , nestling in n scanty grove
of trees and occupying a position over
looking 1 < tlio hills beyond the Antiotam
two miles axx-ny. This xvas the head
quarters of General McClellan during
that terrible 17th of September fight ,
and commanded a full xuoxv of nil the
mox-emcnts , excepting these of Burn
side's left xving.
AXTIETAM'.S BLOODY FIELD.
Beyond the Antietam a succession
of hills extend from the mountains on
,
the south to the Hagerstoxvn vnlloy on
the north. On the crest of ono of
these hills , directly in the center and
bordering on the Boonesboro pike , is
situated the national cemetery. This
was Leo's center position in the first
of the fight , and the spot where he
had several battorics planted bearing
on the federal loft and center is noxv
marked . by the monument erected to
the memory of the loyal dead xvho are
buried then } . From this point one
has a full vioxv of the Antietam , of
the celebrated "Dunkard Church , " of
"Bloody Lano" and of every portion
of the field , except the ravines through
which Burnsiclo charged the hosts
under Longstreet and -captured the
famous Burnsido bridge. The Dunk
ard church is on the Hagerstown pike ,
about a milo north of tins town. It
is a small brick structure and bears
none of the evidences of the fearful
slaughter xvhich took place all around
it. Just in front , and to the north of
the church , are the fields which ran
red with the blood of both sides. To
the north , and some distance east of
the road , is a small orchard , where
General Mansfield lost his life in the
early carnage.
BLOODV LANE
is nearer Sharpsburg , and looks any
thing but what its name implies. It
is a narrow road , which rans between
the hills doxvn to the Antietam , near
the Boonesboro pike , and gives to the
farmcrH of that region an outlet to a
niill on the river. Old veterans , xvho
come hero und go over the field , say
that it xx-as the death mart of several
thousand confederates. The slaugh
ter occurred there , as Hooker par
tially surrounded Jackson and drove
him inwards towards the Dunkard
church. The soldiers' tradition is
that Jackson , with the energy nnd
dash peculiar to him , supposing that
there were many raxv men with
Hooker , planted a contingent in the
lane , whore , sheltered from view ,
they were to charge at an opportune
moment and break through and dis
organize that portion of the loft wing.
Had the effort succeeded it would
have been a disastrous ono for the
Union forces , but it was not only
abortive , but showed the now line of
battle to the federals , and the lane ,
literally speaking , became a perfect
slaughter-pen.
mjIlNSIDE's BIUDOE.
On the extreme south of the battle
field is Burnsido'fi Bridge , a primitive
double-arched structure of [ stone ,
xvhore the fight xxas fearfully unequal
and the slaughter was frightful. Look to
ing at this point now ono cannot mar
vel at the loss of life attending the fc
lassago of the Antiotam horo. The
iridge spans the river in ono of the Q.
gorges among the high hills and di
rectly on the opposite side is a high Seta
bluff , from the top of which the rebels
disputed thu right of way to the union thli
loft. Charge after charge was made ,
and finally , after repeated assaults ,
the | bridge xvas xvon and the bluffs cap
tured , at
There are no traces of the battle Car
loft beyond these xvhich history gives.
There xvcro no breastxvorks , embank
ments , or any of those nioro promi

mark the march of a fleeing invader
through a hostile country. None

and just hero the visitor cannot but
