How Mo.hy Wa, wonnd.d.

On Thursday, Sept. 18th, portion OF the
18th New York cavalry started from their
quarters at Falls Church on a scout, with three
days' rations. After scouting for six days,
living on the enemy's country, they heard OF
Moshy's whereabouts. The commanding off,
Ger of the 18th caused number ofhis men to
disguise themselves as guerrillas.
This party came up with Mosby, who was
entirely taken in by the ruse, near Centrevi'le.
They advanced lsisurely toward him, and when
within firing distance commenced discharging z
their revolvers. Mosby and his party returned
the ERE. As Mosby was in the act OF raising
his pistol to FIRE, - Smith, private OF the
18th, took deliberate aim and struck the pistol
on Mosby's left side, the ball gliding of and
entering his groin. At the same instant he
dropped his arms, wheeled his horse, and gal
loped away. He was able to ride about mile

numerous lurking places until ont of danger
and then vas placed in an ambulance and sent
on to Richmond.
These facts, ELECTED from an officer partici
pating in The engagement, are corroborated BY
residents In the neighborhood Of the skirmish
This is the second time that Mosby has heer
wounded by the 18th.
1t Is supposed that his present wound. II moi
mortal, will incapacltste him from ever taking
the saddle again.

HEAR HM.-One Of the noblest spirits whom
the war has made conspicuous Is the Rev. DR..
Robert J. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, the uncle
OF John G. Breckiuridge, now a general In the
rebel army, and Of whom the Doctor remarked
In late speech at Lexington, KY, "The pros
pect of being President OF the United States
was great temptation, and he tell under IL,
But do not know that he fell worse or any
further than Gen. Mcclellan has lately fallen. I"
The Doctor, in his speech, presented the fol-
lowing startling picture of the national sacrifice
which the election of Mcclellan would involve:
Now, for Gods sake, and for your country's
sake, look at 1t. Here we are, after between
three or four years. war after spending two or
three thousand millions of dollars; after spill.
ing the blood OF a million of our brothers, and
consigning five hundred thousand Of them TO
their graves; after cOnquering au extent of ter
rltory /, 800 miles In length by 600 In breadth;
we have an army in every State of the confed.
eracy, and the majority of them under our con.
troll we have every stronghold taken from
them, except Mobile and Charleston and Rich
mond; and, Notwithstanding all this, we arc
asked, as II we were set Of poltroons, to die
grace ourselves TO the latest generation Of man
kind, TO sacrifice everything we have fought
for, and that Is worth living for, and make all
the world say free Government is worthless
that 1t cannot take care of Itself. God Al
mighty In heaven grant that every man who
utters such thought may be choked until he
becomes penitent and better man. Great
applause.

THE LETTERS OF FREMONT AND
COCHRANE, wITuDRAwING FROM
THE PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS


COCHRANE, wITHDRAwING FROM
THE PRESIDENTIAL CANVASS.
The letter Of General Fremont, Withdrawing
his name from the present political canvass as a
candidate for the Presidency, we published yos-
terday as 1t was sent us by the agent of the Asso-
clated Press. We see by our les this morning
that 1t was only portion Of the letter, although
IL embraced the most important portion of IL.
The preliminary paragraph Of General FIRE.
monts letter is In reply to an invitation OF his
friends to speak In Faueuil Hall and express
his "views on the present canvass, and its con-
sequences"
Instead of complying with the request Of tho
committee to make a speech, he replies, by say.
ing that what he has to "say now may very
well be put in the briefer limits of letter." a
portion Of which appeared yesterday.
Itis unnecessary for us to discuss the Ian
guage or spirit of the letter. It speaks for 1t.
self, and Is not al all creditable 10 the head or
heart Of Gen. Fremont In view of his position
and his relation to the millions Of true hearts
which beat responsive TO the mention Of his
name In 1856, and who are now supporting the
principles of the Baltimore platform, and sus-
tanning the candidates upon IL. Something
more manly and more In accordance with
their views was expected. While 1t was not
necessary for Gen. Fremont 10 go out of his
way to speak in aattering terms Of Mr.. Lin
coin, 1t was certainly as unnecessary for him
to step aside to aid the Copperheads In attempt.
ing to malign him.

Ex-secretary Chase defined his political posi-
tion at the present crisis in speech which he
delivered to popular asSemhlage IN Washing
ton on Monday evening. As a matter Of course,
he took high and patriotic ground in favor OF
President Lincoln, the Baltimore platform, and
the Union party. He said that the names OF
Lincoln and Johnson "represcnt to-day PRIV
ciples and policy, designs and purposes, i
which alone this country can be saved. If ali
the voters would take my advice, there would
not be vote cast except for these two gentle.
men;" and he added that, In bis Judgment, q
large majority of votes would be given fol
them. Mr.. Chase then proceeded to discuss
the Baltimore platform, and closed this poinI
by asking; "Which of the planks In our plat
form do you want taken out Do you want
any one shaved q single particle No, no; let
1t stand as 1t is. It is all good. Let us main

proposed soon to go to his own great State In
the West, there to advocate the cause SO dear

On Saturday last, Senator B. r. Wade, of
Ohio, who united with Mr.. Davis, OF Maryland,
In the issuance Of the celebrated Wade Davis

vigor and length at Meadville, Pennsylvania.
It was terrific assault upon the Copperbead
policy, platform, and candidate, and scathing
exposure Of the imbecillty OF McClellan's mill
tary career. He closed by exborting his audi
ence to "go home as missionaries" and "let

for the Union cause, and the greatest triumph
