The train was stopped at Harper's Ferry, and after some delay General Harney asked an officer or employe on the train, what caused the great delay. The riian answered, •" General, I do not know, but I heard your name men- tioned frequently. " "Ah, " said the General. Soon a young pedantic officer entered the car and approaching General Harney, said, " General, you are my prisoner. " He had no sooner declared his authority, than General Harney seized him and with the declaration of " God damn yo...ur soul, get out of here !" brought him to the floor of the car, and soon convinced the young and officious stripling that he, General Harney, was master. Soon after this first onset, several officers came into the car and expressed to General Harney their regret for the ofificiousness of the young man, but told the General he must consider himself a prisoner. The General answered that he could not alone fight an army, and yielded. The bluff old soldier, who had been victor on many battle-fields, felt humiliated when compelled to yield to forces against which he had no con- tract to contend.
