Return to the Valley. Four days after General Jackson's transfer to the Valley of Virginia, the infantry of his old brigade also returned, travelling by the Manassas Gap railroad; and on the 9th November the Rockbridge Artillery, without any escort, commenced its march across Loudoun county, passing several villages and crossing the Blue Ridge at Snicker's Gap, and the Shenandoah river by a rope-ferry at Snicker's Ford. On our first night out on this march, we went into camp, unfortunately, near a distillery. Some of the men had got very thirsty while they had been cooped up for the last several months, surrounded by so many strangers, and here was a chance to quench their thirst, which very many of them could not resist.

June 23d, General Lee wrote to Stuart, who was then east of the Blue Ridge, in Loudoun county: If General Hooker's army remains inactive, you can leave two brigades to watch him, and withdraw with the three others; but should he not appear to be moving northward I think you had better withdraw this side of the mountain to-morrow night, cross at Shepherdstown next day (25th), aud move over to Frederickstown.
