Letter from Colonel Mosby.

The New York Sun, having lately pub
lishcd communication from Union SOL
der commenting on the conduct of Colonel
John S. MoSby in the Valley Of Virginia
during the late war, that gentleman has re-
piled:
Sir,-I am really amused at the piece in
your valuable paper from "A Union Sol
der" for 1t shows how hard pressed my
enemies are for something to say against me,
when they can find nothing worse than the
stun he has published. / will notice them
in their order. First. The capture OF the
train in October, 1864, on the road between
Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg, Virginia.
This was on 4 military road, and used by
the Federal army-which was then in the
Shenandoah Nallcy-for transporting troops
and supplies. / was in command Of about
thee hundred men, and was charged with
the duty of impeding the advance OF the
Federal army by intcrcepting their commu-
nication.
opposed Sheridan in front, my small
force would count for nothing; but by
throwing il in his rear and OH his commune
cation il became tremendous power, be-
cause 800 men under Il skillul commander,
operating in the rear Of an army, are equiva-
lent to 10, 900 in front. 1t was just rs ie@iti-
mate for me TO attack Sheridan in his rear
as for Early to attack him in front; and
Sheridan in his report to the committee on
the conduct of the war has testified to The
efficiency of my command, for he says that
after the defeat of Early he could have gone
on to Richmond, but that he had TO detail
two-thirds Of his force to guard his COM
municaton against my attack.
The train i captured was Oh the way TO
supply Sheridan's army. 1t had on it, be-
sides large number Of officers ana soldiers,
considerable number of passengers.
Among the officers were two paymasters
with $4,000, going to pay OF Sheridan
troops. OF course it was just as legitimate
war to capture and destroy this train as to
kill or capture Sheridan ard his men. l
penetrated far in rear Of the Federal army,
and captured this train within mile OF a
large camp, and burned it. The object OF
my command was not so much to capture
trains to compel Sheridan to detach
heavily from his front to guard his rear. Ii
Mrs. Tolles and the other passengers on
this train were "turncd out destitute and
unprotected" us this Union soldier AYERS,
it was Sheridm's fault, and not mine, for he
ought to have had it properly guarded.
Again: These female passengers only suf-
