Then Lee decided to open a line of supplies Captured. Through the Shenandoah valley, at the entrance of which was Harper's Ferry with a garrison of 12, 500 men. To remove this obstacle he sent Jackson on the loth, with orders to com- plete his task and rejoin his commander as quickly as possible. To divide his army thus in the presence of the enemy was ordinarily bad generalship ; but he knew his opponents were slow and he believed no harmful results would follow. Jackson's march was swift, as ...usual, and on the 14th he occupied the hills which encircle the place, and the garrison, with many valuable stores, was surrendered with- out a battle. But let us return to the army of Pope, marching on September 5 hopelessly back to Washington. Near the city the vanguard was met by McClellan with orders to take command. In a McClellan moment the spirit of the soldiers changed, and shouts of mand. I^Y welcomed him as he rode past the regiments. Pope was assigned to other duties in Washington. The same day orders were given to enter Maryland and follow Lee, but it was not until the loth that McClellan had reorganized the army, and the 12th before he reached Frederick, through which the confederates had passed a few days earlier.
