A smart affair OF the rebels at Fairfax Court
House, this morning, is reported here. The
story is that two rebel companies Of cavalry
slipped in quietly this morning at two o'clock,
and carried off Gen. Stoughion, bis guard,
and the brigade band, as prisoners three

and were not captured.
Rebel Prisoners
On Saturday night, one hundred and fifty
rebel prisoners, Missourians, were brought to
this city to be exchanged. A more squald,
wo-begone, aud pitabe set Of human crea-
tures never were seen here. They are bag
gard and ragged-for sleeping purposes bsv-
ing old blankets, CT carpets, counterpanes. &C..
&c, all in tatters. Why these men were
brought here | do not know perhaps to
show them TO our well-ied and well-clothed
army, or vice versa to show our army to
them. The contrast is striking.
Dismissals
Another long list Of officers Of the army
dismissed for absence without leave, or fail
ing to report, few for desertons and one
for dishonesty appeared this morning. Hap
PLY no, Vermonter appeared in the iist.-
The worst offence Of our officers, just now,
seems TO be carelessness and that punished
on the spot-by the rebels, who capture
them. This is altogether too bad, but still
better than crime.

pretending to have authority from General
Casey, thoroughly examined matters in
Stoughton's command, and thus undoubtedly
got knowledge accurate enough to make this

shat Stoughton established himself away
from his command, and at Fairfax Court
House, with the consent OF Gen. Casey
originally; but that Casey had revoked on
the grouad that the place was unsafe, and that
Stoughton was therefore there without au-

FEATs OF ANCIENT cAvALRYMEN.

FEATS OF ANCIENT CAYALRIMEN.
1t may. perhaps. prove interesting to
some to glance at feats performed by the
, cavalry Of the ancienls. Prominent among
tae annals of the past stands the battle Of
.Cauns fought 2i5 B. c., between the Ro-
mans and Carthagenians.
The Renan troops numbered $4,000 in
fautry and 5000 cavalry the Carthageni-
ans 40, 900 infantry and 5000 cavalry.
The Roman right wing was formed Of
cavalry Of Latium leaning on the river Ar
dus; that Of the Italians on the left, while
tne infantry occupied the centre. Hanni-
bal the Carthagenian leader, also placed his
infantry in the centre; his Numidian ca
yalry on the right wing. where they we're
able to evads the charges Of the Italian
heavy horse opposed to them; while the
heavy cavalry under the command Of Has
drubal, was placed on the left near to the
river. The Italian cavalry, on the Roman
left. were fully occupied by the Numidi-
ans.
The Roman infantry soon routed the
Celts and Spaniards, and formed into a
wedge escaped column to attack the Afri-
can infantry, vhiea Hannibal had placed
IN the rear. The Africans wheeled in
ward. charged in a line, and there the bat
tie became standing fight.
Hssdrubals heavy horse had, in the mean
time. prepared the defeat of fhe Roman
cavalry On the right wing. and after strong
resistance. dispersed them, passed behind
the centre, fell upon the rear and TANKS Of
the Roman infantry. This decided the
battle in favor Of the Carthagenians.
The Romans Lost 10000 men; OF their
1000 cavalry only 10 men escaped. The
Carthagenian loss was not quite 6 900 men !;
,yo-thirds sf whom belonged to the celts,
who bore the brunt OF the FIRST attack Of the
Iegions.
Not more than 200 Of Hssdrubal's 5000
regular horse. which had won the whole
battle. were killed or wounded.
Another remarkable feat was, with the
I'D Of cavalry, performed BY Haynau in
SIS. With twenty Prussian sSuadrons,
1e rode down eight battalions Of French,
ind captured eighteen guns; the enemy,
II this tine, held $4,000 cavalry troops III
reserve till the battle was lost, though a
more favorable cavalry ground could n.,
have been found. This instance marks !
turning point in the use Of cavalry, fol
previous 10 this and after the.inyention Of
gunyowder and the use Of fire arms, thi,
branch Of the army had done but little To-
ward gaining victories.

P"-Everybody knows what fools
cap" paper is !; but few probably know how it
came to bear this singular cognomen. When
Charles /. found his revenues short, he granted
certain privileges, with view to recruit
them, amounting to monopoies, among which
was the manufacture of paper, the exclusive
right OF which was sold to certain parties, who
grew rich and enriched the government also
at the expense Of those who were obliged to
have paper. At this time all English paper
bore in water marks the royal arms. The
Parliament under Cromwell, made jests of the
law in every conceivable manner; and, as an
indignity to King Charles, it was ordered
that the royal arms be removed from the paper,
aud the "foolscap and bells" substituted. These
In their turn, were also removed when the
