The column rushed forward at the
word-but oh disastrous event-occur-

had the horses Of the Federal cavalry
men run thrice their length, than the
crest on the right of the road in their
rear suddenly bristled with sabres, and a
squadron led by Ashby in person, thun-
dered down and fell with shouts upon the
Federal rear. .,--.,
At the same instant the detachment in

at me like tiger, and turned abruptly
away.
Ashby treated his prisoner with that
calm courtesy which characterized him,

His face was flushed, his eyes full of
lurid light-wrath had mastered him.

the lines of infantry, heard that his
wrath exploded.
Some one among the men greeted
him, L heard, with the words: Just
look at the Yankee Colonell' when his
long pent up anger burst forth like tor
rent. His peculiar adherence, it is
said, was to be considered Yankee =
and this was the straw that broke the
camers back.
Ashby captured sixty four men, if my
memory serves me, by this ambush; and
these were now sent to the rear.
