Jams and halts incident to !75 an overcrowded roadway lengthened the march through mostof the night, and it was after four oclock before the columncrossed the river at Germanna Ford. Lurid flames lit up thesky along the entire route. Sparsely settled as the countrywas, many deserted houses with their barns and out-buildingsfell victims to the incendiary torch.

At five oclock, on the 2d of December, the brigade biv-ouacked near Coney Mountain, and at eight oclock moved onagain, halting about noon in the vicinity of Stevensburg. Onthe 3d the regiment moved at eight oclock, crossing the Rap-pahannock at the railway station, which bears the rivers nameat two, and by four in the afternoon it was back to its oldquarters at Beverly LIEUTENANT HENRY T.
