Mosby was seldom defeated and new
or outwitied to my knowledge but once :.
He had crossed the mountain with few
men into Clarke county, when he was
informed that a Federal officer, with
I squad of cavalry men was In the vlci-
nifty. The officer had stopped at "Clay
HILL" the residence Of Mr.. Whiting;
and Mosby made up his mind TO capture
both officer and men. His action was
prompt, as usual. He went to "Clay
HILL" captured the Federal officer
while he was seated at supper, and car
red him of prisoner TO Upperville, East
of the Blue Ridge. There had been
nothing at all unpleasant about the
whole affair. Mosby and his prisoner
were on the most friendly terms. The
parizan had ridden his fayorte gray
mare on the scout, and at Upperville
was standing beside her, ready TO mount
when the Federal officer SAID: THAT'S
o superb animal, Colonel?'
Yes" was the sratilied reply of the
partzan, as he patted the mares neck.
The officer sauntered closer,
"A very fine animal !" he repeated.
I'm try her PAGES ?" And throwing
himself into the saddle, he disappeared
at full speed, aud Col Mosby ueyer saw

The wool production OF Texas IS
mounting into enormous figures. The
London american Settler Of the 22nd

written at San Antonio which says :
''rhe wool trade of San Antonio has
more than doubled itself in the last two
Years. From fair calculation it is es-
timated that the shipments have amour

Wednesday, Nov. I6, 1881.

Sufficient returns from the election
have been received TO show that The
Cameron ticket has been elected by
q majority of from 5000 to ll,OOO,
and that the coalitionists have in the
Legislature majority OF twenty-five
on joint ballot. While the Democratic
vote was larger than it was last fall,
the coalition between the Republicans
and Readjusters vas so complete that
their vote will not be more than a
few thousand short OF the combin ed
vote OF the two parties. The State
will soon be entirely IN the hands Of
the coaltionists. They have the sole
management Of the debt question and
now have the opportunity OF readjust-
ing It according to the principles OF
the Rlddleberger bill. The response
bility rests with them, aud the people
will look anxlouely for the redemption
of their oft repeated pledges. 1t is
rumered tina: the bondholders have been
assured that they will be given a more
favorable settlement than they could
possibly secure. if the Democrats
should control the State. If this
rumor be true, there will evidently be
disappointment somewhere. The PEG
pie Of the State have been assured that
the debt would be settled upon the
basis OF 100000 at 8 per cent. in-
terest. Whatever sttlement be made,
the people will expect it to be a finality,
and Ole that will stand the test of ju-
dicial examination.
There are other features that more
closely involve the liberties and the
Interests Of the people Of Virginia. A
short time will disclose the facts and
The people will then know whether the
Safe is democratic or republican. The
Slate Will soon be under the manage
ment Of party Of whom over two-thirds
are ayowed republicans and consider
ably more than majority are negroes.
1t will remain for US to see whether a
party composed Of these discordant ele-
ments can manage the interests Of the
people more successfully than can be
done by a party composed almost ex-
clusively Of The white people Of the
State.

North claim the victory on Tues
day in Virginia as their own. We
concede their right to do so; yet
we must say that the following
from the New York Times is de-
cidedly cool. II says:
Almost everywhere else except
in New York the republican party
was substantially united in sup
porting the President it had elected,
in honoring his acts, in paying re-
spect to his memory, and in up.
holding the principles which it had
professed Therefore it conquered.
In other States which shared in the
victory OF last year, the republican
party has again appealed to the
people, and not in vain. Even in
Virginia, a democratic strong hold.
the most significant and important
victory Of the year has been achieved
by the overthrow of Bourbonism.
Virginia seems TO have been bar
tered to Malone, reputation and
lasting di9honor, by the power Of
money and patronage. The repu
diatlon freebooters claim, and with
apparently good reason, to have
carried their State ticket and the
isIature.-Philadelphia Times.
The result in Virginia is not yet
ascertained with exactness, but
there is little doubt that the Ma:
hone faction triumphed, electing its
candidate for the goyernorship and
majority OF the legislature. This
is victory ofrepubIican principles.
