July 4th, at 5 o'clock. All that med
ical skill and loving hands, and im

How Caifin Farley of J. E. 13.
Stuart's Sin Ied,
(From the Baltimore Sun.)
Major 'II. I, McClelland, adjutant,
general of the Confederate cavalry
corps of General J. E. '13. Stuart, pub
lished in his history of the operations
of spid cavgiry an account of the fol
lowing Incident which occqrred dur
ing the big cavalry light at 'Brandy
Station, Va., during the war between
the states: General Butler and Cap
tain Farley the latter of General
Stuart's stpff, were stanfling side by
side, with their horses' heads turned
in opposite directions when a shell
rrom the enemy's battery struck the
ground, ricochetted, cut off -Butler's
right' leg above the ankle, passed
through his horse, Farley's- horne and
carried away Farley's leg at the knee.
The lion. John T. Rhett, of South
Carolina, quoting from the Ilion. M. C.
Butler, of that state, says: "it was a
scene which for knightly courtesy and
heroism cannot be surpassed. I saw
that shot fired by the enemy's gun
had taken effect in a small group of
men standing near ine. We took Cap'
tain Farley out of a blanket, in which
he had been placed, and put him in
an old trough. lie was very cool, even
iftasant an(l smiling, though evidently
In great pain. Just as we were about
I-) send hiin away, pointinp g to the leg,
which had been cut off by the shell
he asked me to bringt it to him. I did
so. Ile took it and pressed it to his
bosom, as one would a child, and said,
miling: 'it is an old friend, gentle
men. I do not wish to part with it.'
lie then said: 'Good-bye and forever:
I know my condition and we will not
meet againi.' Courcteously, even si i
ing, he nodded to us as the mllen bore
h11im away. ie died within a few
11or1s."
I knew Captain Farley well. 'Ie was
admired by all who knew him for his
splendid courage. He was one of Gen
cral Stuart's favorites and. few ''on
federate ofilcers had as many friends.
.Ile often went scouting Into the ee
my's line, generally alone, and fre
quently brogTht back iprisoners
sometimes cavalry, with their horses
and equipment. .1 was with him on
lone occasion when lie captured sev
