Yankee's Coming
Summary
Last week a number of government wagons went through town for Sharpsburg where they are to join a regiment of soldiers who are sent there to exhume the bodies of Union soldiers who were killed in the battle, in preparation for their re-interment in Antietam Cemetery. Local “rebels” mistook the wagons and the soldiers with them as a part of the 1,000 soldiers Gov. Swann is said to have requested to supervise the coming election in the region.
