For the last few weeks the Rangers had not remained long enough at any one place to call it a camp, although the camp equipage was between Weverton and Bruns- wick, while a portion of the company was at Harper's Ferry. THE LOUDOUN RANGERS. 89 Gen. French, in command of the latter place, ordered Capt. Means to send three reliable and cool-headed men into Virginia, east of the Blue Ridge, as scouts to locate and ascertain if possible the strength and movements of the enemy, who were supposed to b...e on the eve of cross- ing the Potomac into Maryland. Sergt. Jas. H. Beatty, Joseph T. Ritchie and Commissary Sergt. Milton S. Gregg were selected. They crossed the Potomac above Brunswick Ferry, going south in the direction of Snickersville, where they obtained valuable informa- tion, returning through I^oudoun. When near Water- ford they learned that five rebels were in town. They took advantage of the situation ; charging into town, they completely routed those five rebels, who proved to be White's men, and captured one by the name of Leslie, and two horses, taking them into Harper's Ferry, arriv- ing about II o'clock at night.
