WAR ST "Veteran Raiders lr^la icks From thc Was drizzled veterans of the 13d Vir-I juinia battalion, arujy of Northern Virginia-"Mosby's Men," aa they were known and feared in the sixties, from the Long Bridge to the Caro linas-will gather around thc camp Sre at Krederieknbuig, Ya., next Thursday, for their annual reunion, and stories will be told of combats of times gone by, midnight raids, 'at tacks and pursuits, to make thc hair of thc old survivors' grandsons .stand on cud. In thc winter of 18t)2G:i, soon after Lee bad hurled Burnside, stunned and shattered, back from Fredericks frurg, and thc two armies lay glariug at each other aoross the waters of the Kappabannock, "Mosby's Men" bad their small beginning. The great captains were idle, and a young cavalryman serving with Stuart, thoucht it an auspicious time to put into execution a plan that bad long been buzzing in bis brain. Lee had abandoned the part of Vir ginia lying north of tho Rappahan nock and cast of the Bluo Ridge Mountains to the enemy, and Mosby, the youthful trooper, asked his loader to let, him take a small squad of men, go up into that country, and do things to the enemy. Stuart readily assen ted, for bc bad much faith in tho initiative of the young Virginian. T< - '"membered that it was this same ?.?f<if who, tho previous summer, . td tmggested to him his famous ride ?r ?und McClellan, which ushered in il -c unfortunate general's Iliad or 80 Mosby wont up into Fauquier and Loudoun counties. He was an utter stranger there, and for a couple of months devoted himself to learn ing the land, occasionally stirring up an outpost and getting himself thor? onghly disliked. He was "getting his hand in." Then one morning he found himself famous. He did not, like Byron, awake to find himself so, for ho hadn't been to bedail night, jiu ?hose dark hours, when all good young men are asleep, Mosby, with two dozen equally irregular young troopers at his back,* penetrated far within the enemy's linea, reached F Fairfax Court House about 2 o'clock a. m., and there, surrounded by th otilar? de of the enemy, and with all the army of the Potomac between him . and safety, stole a sleeping general from the bosom of his brigade. He likewise' brought away several scores of prisoners and horses. Mr. Lincoln, when informed of this impudent theft of-a brigadier, dryly remarked that he wasn't worried about losing a general -he oould make another in five min ut?e; but it waa different with horses. The daring of this deed dazzled tho eyes of the Sod them o aval ry. Mosby oould now pick his men, for, though the dangers were far greater than in the regular sor vico, there was ? about this debonair company of froe fighters a fascination that made every soldier long to join them. But no ?0,puUf" politioal or military, availed. The examination of the applicant was , conducted ia the ii rot light, after tho ? nuking of tho application; the inter rogatories came whistling from the |; t guns of the enemy, swarming about the applicant's ears in a manner cal culated to discourage his ambition and unnerve his right arm. If his answers spoke hack, swift and trae, from the muzzle of his navy 6, and ho kept within view of hit watchful leader, the end of the fight found him one of Mosby's men-if he wasn't one of the, angels. But it did siot suffice merely to become one of the command. Th a ir leader know that in work so dangerous and respon sible, a high standard must be main tained, and that his rulo concerning it io order to bo effective, must be io flexible. Hence, when a trooper fell away from that high standard, there waa BO probation, no purgatory Of re patanes.

And then, when the long roll had hurried a couple of frightened soldiers from their slum bers into lighting rank, they found nothing but the place where thc pick et post had been. Mosby was gone, gone with it iu his pookct, swallowed up in the darkness wheace he had shot forth. Thia sert of thing mad? him very unpopular with tho Huton armies. Your veteran aoldicr mich prefers being ahot at, and even killed, to be ing atartlcd out of a sound Bleep at 2 a. m , and compelled to form for fight aod thin get no Gghtiog. Mosby "got on the nerves" of every soldier within a hundred miles of him. The war department at Washington, irritated at repeated failurea of thc regular troops to deal with him, offer ed extraordinary inducements to any ono who would abate his nuiaanoo. And from time to time squadrons of picked men, headed by some brave and seasoned old soldier who had agreed to exterminate Mosby's men, would sally forth in quest of their quarry. They would auour ali North ern Virginia, in vain, for Mosby was alwaya somewhere olae. Ho never consulted their convenience as to timo or place. Then, someday, when they had grown oareless and doubtful of ever finding their prey, they would find him. Tho usual result of these discover ies is naively set forth in a dispatch from a general from whose camp there had set out a few days before a daunt less colonel, who, with 500 determin ed spirits at his baok, had "takeu the contract to clean out Mosby," as tho dispatch stated. Tho doughty colon el, BO the document informs the de partment, had met Mosby that morn ing with about 200 men and forth with had slipped the leashes on his 500 exterminators. "Two of tho colonel's men escaped and - "nie in." That is all the general says about the The reason Mosby's men were never "at home" when thus called upon was that except when engaged in ac tive service they did not retain their organization, but scattered around among the many farmhouses of that fertile region. Many nf them had their homes there. Others lodged at places known to their chief. He kept scouts ever flitting like phan toms along the Federal lines, and when from their information he deter mined to strike a blow the call went forth as though on wings to such of his troopers as he desired to take with him. Where an hour before there had been along the countryside quiet young men, engaged in special pur suits of making love to the girls of the neighborhood, there now rode out a squadron of veteran cavalry, equip; pod as co soldiers on either side were, a deadly missile in the' hands of a soldier who knew well jost how and whither to hurl it. No time waa lost after the , assembling. On swift horses, the best the United States Government could furnish, they gal* loped behind their leader, swept down upon the enemy, a yelling, shooting, death dealing' cyclone of horse and man, drove their blow pome, and were away before the astonished fugitives could hurry up support. This method of warfare was con demned by the North as being^ wholly wanton. There seemed to be no sys tem in the wiping oat of an isolated picket post, a wild foray that resulted in tho destruction of a hundred Wagons, or a reckless raid that flung the commissary's railway cars into thc ditch. But Mosby was aware that food and supplies were absolute ly essential to the soldier in the field; and henos whoo he aimed a blow at a wagon train ha know it would land on hia enemy's stomach. Hungry soldiers will not fight. I At that time the hist?rica*, stago of tba war. waa passed and soldiers thoughtless about bullets and more Kn?t h?>ijAf*?t Nothisg .oosld more effectually upset the plans of ? commander than to have things hap* j poa to his supply trains,* and Mosby saw to it that every one that came through bia country was heavily j guarded, or elsa fell into his hands. Of, course, if he compelled them to detach forces to guard them ho bad also achieved one of. his objects, since taeir offonsive forc? was weak ened to that estent, Mosby's men also made allies of darkness and mystery. The very faot that hie m?tomonta were so erratic* kept the enemy io a stale of unpleasant anticipation all along his lines, for it scorned to be that Mosby always struok where he was least cx peoto/?.; - And under tho 'shadow, of night ho excited imaginations of a ptoic stricken enemy always magoi fled their number? many limes. In thc mathematics of fear 2 aod 2 are not 4, but 22, and darkness ever mul tiplies by ten. Thus by playing upon the imagina tioo and fears of his euemies Mosby accomplished a hundred fold what he could have achieved with the same number of menin the ragulararmy. The lonely pickets, the thrifty sut lers, the insufficient guard, were really captured by their fesrs before Mosby had even called upon them to surrender. And the people and presa of tho North, as well as the army gossip around the Union camps, all were his unconscious allies, since they increased bia efficiency by in creasing the terror of his name. In 1804 Sheridan started up the Shenandoah Valley, determined to make short work of that region. He had 75,000 men, and opposed to him was Early with barely one-fifth of that number. He sot about his work at ouee, and it looked aa though it was a matter of but a few days long er, when one day he halted. Sheri dan had missed bis dinner because Mosby had eaten it. Wwh 300 men he had captured one of iiheridan's largest trains near Berryville, and that magnificent host of 75,000 veter ans sat down dormant for a space of some weeks until their general could arrange about getting his meals reg ularly. Of course Sheridan wouldn't admit that he had been halted indefinitely by a band smaller than his own body guard, but the facts of history over' ride tho feelings of even ,a majoi general. While there never was a body ol men so completely vitalized and dom inated by one person as this body yet Mosby encouraged independen leadership in .his offioers. One Majo Blazer had been harrying the valley and there came to Mosby the cry o the afflicted people. "Richards,' said he to one of his captains, "tak companies B and O, go over into th valley and stay'there until you wbi Blazer or Blazer whips you." A week after Richards returne with Blazer and what he had left o Blazer's men. In his report, Moab gave entire credit for tho plannin, and'execution of tho campaign to hi captain.

She was quite an interesting character. She reared a large family, and when tho war broke out her sons promptly responded to their country's call for volunteers. As Greenville was but a small town, and there was but one train a day, it was customary for a crowd to assem ble at the depot every evening to hoar the uews from the scene of battle, some gentleman usually reading the paper aloud to the others. Aud as regularly as the evening came, Mrs. Butler might be seen on her way to the station, sitting in her little car riage, or "carry-all" as it was called, driving an old horse which had evi dently seen better days. She would take, her position, close to the plat form, near the reader, and raising her ear-trumpet, listen attentively, show ing her approval or disapproval as the case might be, by a nod or an empha tic remark. The following storry is told of her: When a division of Sherman's army came through Greenville, the head quarters were on Boyoo's lawn, but a short distance from Mrs. Butler's home. Some of the more lawless mem bers of the army scoured the country, pillaging and taking possession of any thing on which they could lay their hands. They visited the stable, and carried off Mrs. Butler's only horse. Early the following morning she pre sented herself at headquarters and asked to see tho federal commander. T-?

But the patrotio old lady remarked with a good'deal of spirit, "I did not como here as the sister of Commodore Perry, but as the mother of seven sons in the Confed erate army, and I want my old gray horse." It is needless to say that the Fed eral officer, admiring her indepen dence, promptly restored tho animal to its, owner.-Charlotte Observer. A Remarkable Family. : '?? - ; Capt. George NiokleB was born ia Laurens County, S. C., in. October, 1800. When a young man he moved to Abbeville County, where he spent the remainder of his life and where nearly all his descendants havo re mained. His wife was Mies Bryson, bf Laurens, and his second' wife was Miss Aiken, of Abbeville. He is the father or twenty-one children, the grandfather bf ninety-seven j the great grandfather pf one hundred and ninety two, the great-great-grandfather of thirty-seven, making the number of his descendants to date three hundred nod for ty-ou von. He gave four sons to the Confeder ate army, all of whom were wounded in battle and only one of whom sur-' vi ved the wr.r. He had also seven son-in-laws in the Confederate army, four ot whom were wounded. Most of his descendants have lived as he did, in tho country on the farm. Several have been morohants, one a lawyer,five doctora, fifteen teachers, one licensed minister of tho Gospel aad ono is now in a course bf preparation f or the mi n istration. ' Capt.

The Spencer Boy. Master D I. Spencer is a lad of 12 Hummers. He was depraved from early childhood, but when oharges were brought against him his parents in? variably screened him, and naturally he became very insolent. Many peo ple would not believe '.hat a boy of such parentage could be wicked, and as bad as his conduct wes, they con tended that he was good in principle and would be all right in deportment if be would reform and behave him self. There were many others who saw that he,ruined every boy that associa ted with him, and though they deplor ed his influence and shuddered to think what the end would be, yet out of respeot for the lad's distinguished father they conti cued to befriend him. "* Then there were some irreverent persons who always said that the chap was no better than anybody else's kid, and tried to chunk him away from their premises. This was very rude, and sorely grieved the fond and pious father, who regarded every old gi a eaw shied at the boy aimed a* him. Finally people who thought the brat was getting no better and was about to bring disgraoo upon all his kindred and friends began to say,that he must bo brought to account. Then his best friend jumped np before any one else could say another word and said: "We will get up a committee and investigate him: his friends usn do it better than anybody else." Of coarse he thought that none but chums WOUid got Oil tuai v?uj millee. The talk went on and a good many people said the Spenser boy shouldn't play in their baok yards any mojo, and lots of others say they are going to order him off, .as much as they like the old man. When the dear old father - sniffed the coent that was in the air he said: "There must be something dead up the branob, and I'm afraid that boy has been at the killing. His early training was all right but he has been in bad company. He must ohango his associates -and reform, and I'll p:ivo him six months todo it in; h. he doesn't get right ia that time I'll help to kill Him." That was a very brutal remark, and he softened it down afterward when he deolarod than bc ~ould give the boy sis months to reform and if that was not enough he would give him s year or two longer, and he didn't set any time to kill him. .There was some mistake in gettiog up the committee to enquire into the behavior of the Spenser boy. The man that was, in a hurry to investi gate told the fellows, "We're just going around smoothing things over," but other members of the committee didn't understand -the business that way. They "took off the lid," and things, began to. come put. : When they went to ,tracking around in th e saud they found footprints said to have been made by the friendly in? vostigator. Then he cried, "Treason! tref?on!". ;He Jumped up and crack ed his heels together and, shook' his fist and said things.-Chester Lantern.
