The Second Battery
left Camp Clark by four o'clock P. M., for Harper's Ferry, to receive the guns
of the First Battery, whose term of service had expired.
Gov. Sprague made a
short speech to the men. The battery travelled by way of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, via Annapolis Junction and the Relay House.
