The Battle OF Kelly's Ford.
One Of the most interesting and
dashing cavalry fights during the late
war was the battle Of Kclly's Ford,
and DR.. W. B. Conway, of this city,
who was present, gives graphic ac-
count of it.
DIR. Conway was member Of cav
airy company, made up Of hardy
mountainccrs Of Madison County, Va,
commanded by Capt Morgan Strothcr.
Gen. Fitz Lees brigade was campcd
near Fredericksburg. On the morn
ing of May IS. 1863, the company, Of
which DR.. Conway was member, was
ordered to move in the direction of
Kclly's Ford, few miles below, on
the iiappair och river, where Fitz
Lee was col ling with the Federals.
There was something stirring in the
jovial voice Of Fitz Lee, and his face
was lit up as he listened to the occa-
sional shots from our picket in front.
With little handful of men, Capt.
Randolph, of the Black Horse Caval
ry, was disputing every inch of ground
along the river fords, and ii front Of
the advancing column Of Avcrill's
three thousand cavalry, while Fitz
Lees effective force was only eight
hundred. We had passed Fleetwood
Hill and Stcvensburg when the gray
columns Of Fitz Lee moved rapidly
towards the river, and hastily threw
out sharpshooters along the whole
line in front. Gen. Averill, COM
manding the Federal cavalry, had sue
ceeded in crossing the river and had
advanced mile OF two in the direo-
tion Of Culpepper Court House.
DR.. Conway tells of his experience
in acting as courier to Major Morgan,
and how he was sent with an order to
Gen. Lee. He describes the meeting
as follows:
II found Gen. Lee sitting quietly
on his magnificent bay mare, Nellie
in rear of his brigade, accompanied by
two or three Of his staff officers. One
Of his staff asked him why he was
waiting. Turning to me, he ordered
that I wait few minutes, and then
turning quickly in his saddle, throw
ing his leg over the pommel of his
saddle and raising his field glasses to
his eyes, he replied to the question
J asked him by his staff officer, she is

were firing forty-cight canister shot
each less than every minute. making
ninety-six shots in all, and which fire
he rode right into on his return to his
guns, there being no other route back
to them.
The exhibition this officer made af-
ter the fight was over showed the dan
ger he had passed through and the
miraculous escape from death he had
made. He rode Mexican saddle with
large, rawhidc pommcl in front and
which, no doubt, contributed Sowards
saving his life Notwithstanding the
toughncss of the rawhidc caused the
shot to glance, yet it was shot or torn
to pieces badly His stir-up feathers,
stirrup covers and pistol holsters were
shot. His horse had the tip end Of
one car shot off aud the hair in his
tail considerably clipped. The Off
GERS hat and his uniform were per-
forated with many shot. and with
these exceptions he and his horse cs-
capped unhurt Behind his saddle
were strapped his blanket and over
coat rolled up together That night
when he took them off to make down
his pallet what a curiosity they did
exhibit. Perhaps not less than a
half pint Of shot were lodged in the
blanket and ovcrcoat, whilst they
were perforated like seivc with bull
let holes These the officer tried to
save as relics of the fight and evil
denccs Of his narrow escape but they
were lost in the general breakup of
the army.
This remarkable and miraculous es-
cape excited the attention and com
ments Of. many officers and soldiers,
and the officer, in telling his feelings
in the midst Of his great danger, said:
"It was the frst and only time ever
made up my mind and concluded that
there was no escape and that must
necessarily be killed. OF sourse in

Telescopes, Large and Small.

The fcrkcs telescope, which was
opened for business few days ago,
has already shown its superiority to
the Lick instrument by gathering in
bushcl or more Of asteroids and plan
cts which the latter had overlooked,
and these triHing affairs in the heav-
ems will probably multiply shortly be-
yond calculation. But after all they
do not contribute materially to the
practical contents, the character and
kind of sentient beings it contains,
and the possibility in the future of
communicating with them. Doubt
less the instrument will hereafter con-
tribute much valuable information on
these subjects, but the smaller tcle
scopes have thus far done the lions
share of the work. The difference be-
tween them is net so great as the pub
lie is apt to imagine.
The power to see little further is
great one, but the bigger instrument
is heavier and more cumbrous, and
cannot be used with the facility Of the
smaller ones. In sweeping the heay-
ems and discovering bodies it is vastly
superior, because Of it's greater magni-
flying powers, but in making obscrva-
tions Of planets that are fully within
the reach of the smaller instruments
it has generally come out second best.
The big instruments Of the world have,
for instance, done little to increase the
popular knowledge of Mars, while
much smaller one at Flagstaff, Arizo-
ma, has almost brought the people in
touch with that planet The geogra-
ply Of Mars, though not very full, is,
as far as it goes, almost as we'll known
as that Of Darkest Africa. The ca
mails, the ice caps at the polls and their
gradual disappearance and reappear-
ance have all been noted, and scarcely
as much is known about some parts of
Africa.
But none of the telescopes seem to
be Of much assistance in determining
what sort of people, if any, live on the
planets, and how they can be reached.
1t is about conceded by all Of them
that the chemical constituents are the
same in all parts of the solar system,
and it is argued that, therefore, they
are the same throughout the universe.
This does not follow by any means.
The universe is big, immeasurably
big, and if telescopes were built from
now until the Day of Judgment, each
bigger than its predecessor, it would
be possible to penetrate only small
corner of it. Speculations concerning
our solar system, which is pretty
big affair TO this world, are more use
full. The biggest telescope is so limi-
ted in it's field that for ordinary pur-
poses it does not differ from other good
instruments. Intercourse with some
of the other planets will come, if it
ever does come, by accident, or by the
development of forces already in exist
ence or to be developed hereafter.
If tests now being made Of electricity
are successful, there may be no limit
to their application. In such an event
the telescope would be employed to
watch the effect, always provided the
effect was sufficient to come under OBJ
servation. baltimore American
