TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE u. 1879.
WAR INCIDENTS.

The Philadelphia Times, in its "Annals
of the War" of its issue of June 7th. con-
tains an account of the operations of Stuart's
Confederate Cavalry in 1868, written by H.
b. Mcclellan, late Major and Assistant ADJ
jutant General Cavalry Corps, Army of
Northern Virginia. from which We copy SOW
eral extracts relating adventures in which
our countymau, Capt. George Baylor. now
States Attorney of Jefferson, and his COM
mand, bore . conspicuous part. In relating
the movements of Stuart in protecting Lees
line of narch in the flank movement to dis
lodge the enemy from Culpeper county, Maj.
Mcclellan says of the pursuit of the retreat
ing Federals toward Culpepcr Court II ouse
$50 rapid was the pursuit of the pickets
upon this road that Stuart found himself, at
one time, riding with ono company of the
Eleventh Virginia; his advance guard, in q
line parallel with aud opposite to regiment
of infantry which was endeavoripg to rejoin
its friends. No other force being available,
Stuart ordered his advance guard aud couriers
to charge. Lieutenant Baylor led his COM
pany most handsomely. but enoouuterng a
wido ditch and stone wall, was unable to
reach the objects of his warm desire. He
succeeded. however, in frightening them
thoroughly; for their FIRE, although delivered
in his very face, caused him the loss of
neither a man nor horse. Before other
troops could be brought forward this regi-
ment effected its escape, not without exhibit,
ing signs of most hasty retreat. for guns,
knapsacks and blankets were thrown away by
many of tho men to facilitate their fight"
or the charge at Warrenton Springs he
says:
'.Now tho Twelfth Virginia was ordered
to charge across the bridge. Lieutenant
Baylor's company had the front. Darkness
was settling down upon the field. Along a
narrow causeway Baylor led his men in
column of fours. In the face of sharp FIRE
from the rife-pits he approached the very
abutment of the bridge before he discovered
that the planks had been removed aud that
crossing was impossible. He must retraoe
his steps and try the ford. There was NO
trepidation, no confusion. "By fours, right
about, wheel! Forward !" and in moment
he had descended from the causewsy and his
[ osunin was plpnaing thEonah the narrow
-fofd where hardly four could ride abreast
1t was a gallant sight, and called forth wild
huzzas from our infantry--many of whom
were spectators of the scene. UP the hill
went Baylor. and in few moments the rifle
pits were cleared of the enemy and the sp-
proaches to the bridge were under our con-
troll. While the planks were hastily relaid
the cavalry crossed at the ford and pressed
the enemy steadily back on the Hvarrenton
road.-AIthough it was- now dark, Stuart
ordered Funsten and Gordon to proceed to
Warrenton, where they bivouacked. Funs-
ten had several skirmishes on the road, and
alone captured about fifty of the enemy who,
in the darkness, had by mistake fallen into
his rear"

GRANDPA AND BABY.

I left my baby boy at play, SO, -
Aud smiled to hear his gleeful shout
Aud happy voice sing in and out

While all the play full echoes stirred
With merry laugh and lisping word.
