Capt. Taylor and others hastily entered
the house. Some of the men proposed
finishing the rebel; but Capt. Taylor, hay-3 i
ing examined the nature of his wound, pro-
nounced it mortal. Major Frazer, 18th
New York cavalry, also examined the
wound, and declared that the man would
die. The rank and name of the wounded
man were not at this time known. he had
on a magnificent cloak Of gray, trimmed !,
with English scarlet and gold clasps. This (
cloak bad often been talked about by in
habitants of the valley as belonging to 9
Mosby, and was described by the citizsrs
as the richest article of the kind in either
army. The boots which the wounded man
wore were carried off, and found to atrse)
exactly, iu1nake and makers name, with
q pair taken from Mosby's house when
burned last summer. These circumstances
led the party to the belief that the man
was Mosby. The rebel accounts show that
their conclusions were correct; but, if we
are to believe the rebel stories, Mosby is
not yet dead. He may possibly recover +.
