mullins aud piokpockets and, in fact, he
treated the most prominent citizens in
the county, who called on him, in pretty
much the same fashion. / had not at
tached myself as yet to any company, and
when / heard Col. Ewell storming &C the
volunteers In this fashion | confess my
enthusiasm received somewhat Of \
dampor. Now, two cavalrymen comprised
on outpost, and being placed three or four
miles from the main body, it was
natural that they should bo
somewhat nervous, inexperienced as
they were, consequently thoy frequently
rode in with false alarms, until Col.
Ewell swore he would shoot summarily
any man who created a false alarm there
aftor There were no more false alarms,
and there is no telling what might have
been the result Of this martinotism, for q
mutinous spirit was spreading among the
soldiery, when an incident happened that
put an end to IL.
THE RECRUITS ATTACKED.
Near Falls Church was stationed COM
pany B, of the 2d United States cavalry,
under Lieut.. Thompkins. This officer
thought ho had good chance to strike
tho Virginians at Fairfax Court House, as
ho was fully informed by tho Union citi-
zens of the forces thero, their disposition,
and their morale. An hour or two before
daylight one morning early in June
he app reached with his company, un-
der the guidance of citizen of the
name of Sage, the confederate out
post on the Falls Church road. The picket
fled to the village, but they gave no alarm
to either IN infantry picket stationed .
half mile or SO from the village or to their
own officers. Consequently, tho federal
regulars rode unopposod and undetectod
up the main street OF the village,
and the frat notice the Rappahannook
and Prince William companies had of
their presence was when the pistol bull.
lets began rafting into the windows aud
doors Of the court house and church,
where they were quartered. There was
wild rush and wilder flight, aud
Lieut.. Thompkins would have had IL all
his own way had IL not been for the
fortunate circumstance (for the con-
federates) that on the evening before
the Warrenton Rifles, 100 strong, had
been sent down to Fairfax from Manassas,
and the federal commander had not been
Informed Of their presence. These troops
were taken in charge by Col. Ewell and
Gov. Smith Extra Billy, who happened TO
be in the village, and after the cavalry had
charged them three times without fore
ing their line the Rifles remained masters
Of the field. l have not space to describe
this first fight, bat 1t was OF interest to
me because 1t was the first time that was
over under fire, having gono out with my
shotgun when awakened by the firing al
the cavalry. Suffice Vt to say that Col
Ewoll was painfully wounded through
tho left shoulder, Capt John Q. Mari
Of the Rifles, was shot dead
and number OF private were
wounded. As l had first smelled powder
with this company, although it was not
from my county, nor was l acquainted
with any Of the men, thought l could
do no better than to Join them, and l &C
cordingly enlisted therein next day, and
l never had occasion in three years
service with them to regret my action.

Tho Wales Court-nIartiai.

The Wales court-martial resumed its
secret session at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. The counsel and others went
away to return this morning, whom 1t is
expected the decision Of the court on the
question Of jurisdiction will be an
nounced. Attorney General Garland's
decision as to the jurisdiction Of the
court of inquiry Ia the case of ex-Surgeon
General Wales was announced yesterday.
After reviewing the law creating the
bureau of medicine and surgery and the
point raised that the law makes the
chiefs of the bureaus in tho Navy De.
partment civil officers for the term Of
their appointment and the law in rela-
tion to naval officers and those govern
ing the Navy Department, the Attorney
General holds that the court-martiai has
Jurisdiction. The trial Of DR.. Wales will
now proceed until checked by some other
objection. s. ....

Amer-Picon Tonic.

OF all tho summer drinks that have
beon introduced in this city none ever
took such q rapid stride into popularity
as Amer-Picon, the Algerian tonic. No
soda fou ntain is complete without bottle,
and all attempts to substitute cheap
couuterfeits have been failures. The
invigorating and anti-malarial quality Of
this deliciously favored beverage
make it unique ard at the same
time indispensable wherever used
once. Mr.. j. II. Magruder is the
sole wholesale agent for this city, and has
besides large trade in it by the bottle.

Sowing Spring Wheat IN the Valley.

wheat. Thi hiking of this myself, consul
ted Mr.. j. W. Carpenter, one of our most

was told by him that some years ago he
and his father had tried it on very good
wheat land, and think he said it was
manured. and it proved an entire failure;
the straw grew we'll and looked finely, but
it failed altogether to fill. 1 know moth

our farmers to ''look before they leap"
