We learn this morning from former citizen
of Madison county, Va, who has for some time
been sojourning In Fairfax county, that he has
reliable information going to show that the
rebel raiders met with SO many mishaps in
getting away with their plumber from Mary
land, that what they have managed to keep
will hardly repay them for their trouble.
The raiders it appears from the time Of their
first capture of plumber were in the habit OF
sending it off guarded by detachments. Thus
on Thursday, July 12, party having charge
of 25 wagons, heavily laden went through

THE CASE or You've KIna.-In our Issue OF
Friday we published an item to the effect that
q young man named King, had been shot In
the lungs, In the frCnt Of the city, during the
late fighting. The article referred to was not
intended to reflect upon Mr.. King. Sr., who,
we are informed, has aided the Union cause
personally and pecunarily In many ways.
We learn that he has in times of emergency
done valuable service to the Government, by
proc uring supplies not otherwise proc urable,
and without regard to pecuniary profit - HIM

of the Baltimore riots. And il is certain that
the Government, which is in q position to
Judge Of his SCI vices, gives him the utmost
confidence. s-,ft
II he has son who takes part with the rebels.
he is not alone in this respect, for some OF the
most patriotic men in our midst have to mourn
the fact that their own flesh and blood are ar
rayed against them in this struggle
Mr.. King has one son, we believe. in the
rebel army, but as regards the young man
aforementioned "a younger sony, we learn
that he positively denies that he was in arms
on either side when he was wounded. He, in
company with friend had been out, he states
on a visit to Cabin John, and returning they
found themselves between the contending ar
mics, and got behind a tree to watch the fgbt
While in that position young King saws he felt
something hit him as though IL were a severe
blow with club, and he fell to the ground tn
sensible, and lay there, as he supposee an
hour or two, when the rebels got into position
where he fell, and on their retreat carried him
10 farm house, and left him there to be Al
tended to. Mr.. King subseo ueutlv obtained
an order from the Secretary of War, and
brought his son to his home in this city.
We have said this much In Justice to Mr.
King, who is sorely troubled at the reflections
cast upon him.
