The LAST VoLLEY.-Colonel John S..
Mosby visited Leesburg last Monday, on
professional business. Because he happen
ed to wear cape, in these piping times of
peace, which had on it severol brass but
tons with the coat of arms Of Massachusetts
on them, the Federal Captain in command
there declared his purpose to arrest him
and cut them off. Being unwilling to SUBJ
NIT to this treatment, but disposed to do
anything in reason to avoid breach of the
peace, the Colonel, at the suggestion of a
friend, consented to leave the burg. The
Captain, with four troopers and sixty in
fantry, eudeavored to intercept his retreat,
but was too late, by several moments, to
effect his object When the Colonel rode
upon the crest of hill he looked back,
and saw the doughty warriors make flu
rious bayonet charge upon haystack,
which had served to conceal him from
their view when he made his exit. The
spectacle was so ludicrous, he could not re.
press an inclination to whoop. He did So
and at the same time raising his hat, he
waved parting adieu. The irate Captain
acknowledged the compliment by ordering
leaden vOlley from sixty guns to be fired
at the Colonel. The bullets whistled
closely, but harmlessly past him, and
made music which reminded him of by
gone years of strife.
We believe the Massachusetts, button is
the symbol of treason, and are somewhat
surprised that the Colonel was so disloya
as to retain one on his cape at the risk O
liberty and life Il Warrenton Index.
