NP, REX 5/24/1861

From the Richmond Examiner
 
May 24, 1861
 
   The officers of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad state that the trains are running regularly, with the exception of the detentions which take place at the Relay House and Harper's Ferry -- the troops at both points overhauling all the freight contained in the cars. The Company have also, for the present, declined to run their trains during the night between the Monocacy and Harper's Ferry.
{This appears to be the response to Jackson insisting that the trains stop at night so his men could sleep.}
