more than two months four thousand

army clothes. In other words, upwards
OF thirty thousand dollars worth OF shod.

in eight weeks stuff, too, which IN other

Of wooden are ground up into shoddy

RETURN OF BAKERS RANGERS.
THEY CAPTURE THE HORSE AND SADDLE
BAGS OF MOSEBY.
A LITTER FROM JEFF DAVIS AMONG THE
PAPERS TAKEN.

detachment Of Col. Bakers Rangers, who
left here q week ago, returned in safety last
evening. They report that they had, during
their absence, several brushes with Moseby
and Whites men, and that they succeeded In
putting them to flight in each instance.
One OF these engagements was at Smokers
Gap, and another at Smiths farm, near Mid
dleburg Our forces in the latter instance were
aware that the enemy outnumbered them two
to one, but determined they would test their
fighting ability, and divided themselves into
two detachments, suddenly dashed upon them
and put them to flight in very short time.
On one occasion, Moseby having stopped at
the house Of Mr.. Richardson, near Middle
burg, to get his breakfast, the effort was made
to capture him. Unfortunately he escaped,
but his horse and saddle. bags were raken.
In the saddle bags were found a large
number of letters, one of them bearing the auto
graph of jeff Davis; public documents, diaries,
official returns of Mosby's aurgeon and other
papers. Some of the letters are of that class
called love epistles and are exceedingly raey.
In all our brushes with the enemy, only one
man was killed. The loss of the enemy is not
known.
