Mosby and the Federal Officer,

j. Esten Cooke, who served in the
Confederate army, contributes an article
to the series of war sketches published
by the Philadelphia Times. The article
gives an account OF some of the exploits
of Colonel Mosby. We make an K
tract as follows:
A single instance may give a general
idea of Mosby's mode of warfare-his
capture of General s~ioughton. This
officer was at Fairfax Court House, and
his quarters were ranged round with a
Gordon Of troops, which ii seemed
wholly impossible to penetrate. Mosby
never heless formed the design of taxi
ing General Stoughton prisoner and did
SO. On a dark night he silently ad-
vanced on the village, captured the
pickets without firing a shot, reached
the court house undiscovered, seized
General Stoughton whilst he was asleep
and brought him a prisoner into the
Confederate lines without the loss Of a
man. This was only one OF a hundred
incidents of the partisan warfare. II
was not often that things were accom-
plished by Mosby thus quietly and
peacefully. aepreferredattacking and
lighting, and all throughthe years 1862,
'63 ard '64, the Federal pickets and
raiding parties we're tolerably certain to
have something to DO with this unrest
ing partisan. He a seldom defeated
and never outwitted to my knowledge
but n The incident has never, been
in print, l believe, and I am assured
that the partisan never related it, il was
so very Notifying. II is q trihe, but
may amuse the reader. Colonel Mosbg
had crossed the mountains with a few
men into Clarke county, when he was
informed hat a Federal officer with q.
squad of c%avalrymen was in the vicinity.
The officer had stopped at "Clay Hill"
the residence Of Mr.. Whiting, and
Mosby made up his mind TO capture.
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 carried him
off prisoner to Upperville, east Of the
Blue Ridge. There had been nothing
at all unpleasant about the whole affair,

FIccls-, or owhIto Caps,oin Cream.


Flccks, or "Whitc Caps" in Cream.
Flecks are generally supposed to be
pieces Of dried cream, and possibly
sometimes they may be, but usually
they are moi, for occasionally they exist
in milk before any cream rises, and
sometimes / mingled with butter made
by processes of cold.setting in which
the cream remains soft, no part of it
being dried at all. They seldom appear,
however, in butter made by cold-set-
ting ; they are mostly found in butter
made in diaries where the milk is set
without any other cooling than that of
the air in the room where the milk
stands. Tor the most part they are
developed in milk after it comes from
the COW. BY quickly cooling milk to. a
low degree, change is so much arrested
that they cannot develop. They can
only form within certain limits OF tenn
peratuse, and when they do. are likely
TO appear as plentifulIy in the milk as
in the cream, and often more so, which
is evidence adverse to their being oiigi-
mated from dried cream. IL milk which
isin q perfectly normal condition they
never appear. They always occur in
milk which is more orless faulty. They
are very apt to accompany an infamed
state Of the udder, and seldom or neyer
appear without it. When milk is al.
right, the surface OF thescleam may be
exposed to currents Of dry air until it
becomes quite dry and hard, without
showing any indication Of 'white caps"
as they are sometimes called. The dried
cream, when mixed with the rest and
well stirred up, soon becomes soft and
churns the same as The rest. But when
milk, which is . little feverish, or in
some other way faulty, is thus exposed
tothe air withoutbeing first well cooled,
decks viii bepretty sure to show them
selves in numbers proportional to the
exposure. Whenever 1ecks are liable
to be developed, there can, with The
aid Of d microscope, be seen in the milk
small specks d solid matter with frag
mentary shapes which form the nucleus
of the hecks. When such milk isset in
a glass vessel and kept without much
cooling these specks can be Q to en-
