A VISIT FROM COL. MosBY.

Colonel John S. Mosby, the famol 8
guerilla chief" raided Fairfax G. h.
again on Sunday night, and while he
did not capture Yankee General"
this time, he aroused general interest
I'd received warmer welcome than
when he made his celebrated raid here
ia 1868, and triumphantly carried away
B-igodier General Stoughton and
large number of prisoners and horses,
without losing man. He was accom-
panied by his gallant old comrade and
friend, Capt Fount. Beattie, and visited,
in company with a number Of friends,
the house in which the capture Of
Stoughton was made, explaining, in
most graphic and interesting way, all
the details of the daring raid. He
went to the room in whicn the
doughty General was sleeping when
ne was so rudely aroused to realz-
ing sense of his unfortunate predica-
ment, showed the position of the bed,
aud related the conversation that er-
sued after he had given the General
good spank to arouse him from his
peaceful slumber. Mosby had with
MIN at the time only 80 men, while sew
-ral thousand federal cavalry were en-
camped in the village and vicinity.
Contrary to the general belief, he says
ne did not strike the Fairfax Station
road at its intersersection with the
Braddock road, but approached the
,own through the fields, passing the
Stephenson (now the Can't ld) resi-
dence. The Colonel has not visited this
place in twenty years, but he readily
recognized some OF the older inhabi
tants and was as easily recognized by
them. Time had dealt gently with
him. His hair is tipged with
grey, but he possesses the elias
ticity of step, the bright eye,
and the keenness of intellect which
were his chief characteristics when in
the zenith of his military career. He
cordially endorsed the suggestion that
a reunion OF the old command should
pe held here, and we think it would be
a good idea to have such reunion this
summer, in connection with the agri-
cultural fair. 1t could be made Il
grand affair and while proving a bene
fit to Fairfax county, would at the
same time be delightful occasion to
the old veterans. 1t might be so ar
ranged as to make it grand reunion
of all the old veterans of the county,
both Confederate and federal.
After taking dinner at the residence
of Mr.. Thomas Moore, Colonel Mosby
aud Captain Baattie returned to the
home of the latter near Annandale.
Now that he has found the way here
again, we hope to see colonel in Fair
fax quite often.- Fairfax Herald.
