Cer tainly no other has experienced so many vicissitudes ; for from the beginning of May, 1861, when the rebels seized upon the place, as a base of offensive operations against Maryland and Pennsylvania, it has changed hands with the changes of the seasons. The fortunes of war have transformed it from one of the most beautiful and prosperous, to one of the most desolate and poverty stricken of villages. On 205 rounding a spur of the Maryland Heights, it appears on the opposite side of the Potom...ac, clustering around the base of a precipitous hill, climbing its uneven sides and extending inland for some distance. A substantial bridge has taken the place of General Banks pontoons, and trains pass to and fro hourly. Underneath, and scattered about the abutments, are seen the remains of the thirty-five cars and engines thrown into the river by Jackson s forces. The cars land you among the acres of ruins of government buildings. The black walls remain standing, and but little of the rubbish has been removed.
