The Last Yollev.

Col. John S. Mosby visited Leesburg
last Monday on professional business. Be-
cause be happened to wear a cape in these
piping times of peace, which had on it seve-
raj brass buttons with the coat of arms of
Massachusetts, on them, the Federal Cap
tain in command there declared his purpose
to arrest him and cuethem off. Being IN
willing to submit to this treatment, but dis
posed to do anything in reason to avoid a
breach of the peace, the Colonel at the sug-
gestion of friend, consented 10 leave the
burg. The Captain with four troopers and
sixty infantry endeavored to intercept his
retreat, but was two late, by several mo-
ments to effect his object. When the Col.
rode upon the crest of a hill, he looked
hack aud saw the doughty warriors make a
furious bayonet charge upon a hay-stack
which had served to conceal him from their
view when he made his exit. The specta-
Gle was so ludicrous he could not repress
an inclination to whoop. He did so, and
at the same time raising his hat, he waved
a parting adieu. The irate Captain &C
knowledged the compliment by ordering a
leaden vOlley from the sixty guns to be
fred at the Colonel. The bullets whisted
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 We are some
what surprised that the Colonel was so
disloyal as to retain one on his cape at the
risk of liberty and life WarrentOn ia. J
