A Long Lost Sabre.-The sketch given
below is from Rockville paper. Colonel
Dorsey is well knoiyn 10 many old Confed-
crates in this county. As commander of
company X, Maryland organization in
the 1st Va. cavalry, he was known through
out Fitz Lees old brigade as one of the
bravest men in it, his company always be-
ing in front in an advance and guarding
the rear IN retreat He was made Colonel
of the LIST Nd. cavalry in 1864, and served
with distinction until the surrender.
Col. Gus Dorsey, near Brookeville, who
was with General Lee at Appomatsox, but
cut his way through the lines TO Lynch
burg and there disbanded his command,
left his sabre, which he had captured from
Union officer at Brandy Station, in the
care of lady who had n1rsed him when
be was wounded. A few days ago his sa.
bre, bright as he had left it nearly thirty
years ago, was sent to him from Fort Def
ance, Va, with letter expressing the good
wishes Of the custodian. Colonel Dorsey
still rides upon the same saddle he used
throughout the war. His father.in-law,
Capt. Edward Owen, is now eighty i've
years Of age, and still rides to the village
for his mail. He has voted for every Dem
ocratic candidate fer President from An
drew jackson down TO and including Pres
ident Cleveland. He was juror when Ma
rYland's celebrated orator, William Writ,
spoke before Chief Justice fancy, and he
heard many of Henry Clay's best efforts in
the United States Senate. He remembers
the circumstance of President Madison's
hasty retreat to Brookeville, his application
10 MIR. James Peasants for nights rest,
the refusal of such a distinguished guest,
and the Presidents visit to another house
of the village, reported by some to be the
one then owned by Mr.. Caleb Bentley, but
remembered by Mr.. Owen as the house of
Mr.. Richard Thomas, father of Brooke
ville's postmaster for many years, Mr.
Roger Thomas, now the rector of ST. Johns
parish.

PINKNEY REcAPruRED.
UPPER Marlboro, Correspondence Of
Baltimore Sun.

UPPER MARLBORO, Correspondence Of
Baltimore Sun.
Willism Pinkney was recapinred In
deep ravine on Charles J. BoEaparte's
farm, two miles from Upper Marlboro
about 8 o'clock 11sh instant, and was de-
livered 10 Sheriff Middleton At the Iail
about $50.
The captors were Frank w. Jones, Hill
lery Jackson and Edward Jackson, his son.
The Jacksons are colored men.
When surrounded Pinkney surrendered
and begged not 20 be shot The wound on
his leg caused by the shackles when he
escaped has nearly healed up.
Mr.. Frank w. Jones il tenant on the
farm Of Mrs c. V. A. Clage,i, and the col.
ored men are employed by Mr.. Jones &C
farm hands. They have been trying To
catch Pinkney FOR some days. The story
OF the capture is thus told by Hillery Jack
son:
Il tracked Pinkney from Lansbury's old
mill, near Groom Station, ON the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad, across the farm OF
Mr.. Harrison sasscer. formerly ienantci by
Dir. James It. Coffnew. 10 the farm Of Mr..
Charles ]. Bonaparte, called weston"
and across that place 10 rayine. In the
rayine saw Pinkney In bis bed. He did
not notice me, and I secreted myself In
place where ! could watch Pinkney and
sent my son TO tell Mr. Jones.
mir. Jones Immediately ordered his car.
rage, and, accompanied by my son Ell.
ward, came TO the place. He took his pis-
tol from his pocket and pointed il at Pink
ney, advancing toward him Pinkney said,
Don't kill me. viii surrender
Mr.. Jones then told him TO come 10 him,
which Pinkney did, and without tying his
hands or putting anything on him he told
him to get in the carriage"
Pinkney got in and was followed by Mr..
Jones and the two colored men. Jones
drove to Upper Marlboro aud carried Pink
ney TO the jail-Yard gate
The town was perfectly quiet and no one
knew what had happened until Mr.. Tarr
told Sheriff Middleton ofthe capture The
sheriff was at the time eating his supper a:
Mr.. fuckers hotel.
Accompanied by Mr.. Tucker, the sheriff
proceeded to the Jail and Pinkney was
locked up.
Pinkney is in good condition and was not
at all worried by his capture. He said he
intended to give himself up and just wantet
to give the fellows chase. He talked
freely and said that he cut his irons with
glass taken from his cell window.
The rewards offered by Pinkney's arrest
| aggregate $3.50.
