prisoners that day, be must be one OF
the two. l would like to know some
thing of the other. You are wrong,

If he told me about this occurrence, it
made very little impression; most any
prisoner would tell the same story if he
thought be could get better treatment
by it. Mr.. Day certainly bad no wit

disposed to treat him otherwise than

the Indiana men. They shared their
rations with US. They we're treated no
better than any other prisoners we ever
took. l claim no more credit for not
being cruel 10 prisoners than for not
being burglar.
Now the true reason why have such
a realistic sense of all that happened
that night, and have had such desire
to discover my companions, is because

LETTER FROM COL. MOsBY.
San Francisco, September, 1899
Mr NJ @ Gnrher. Madison Led

Mr. NJ. G. CARRIER, Madison, led.
Dear Sir: have to thank you for
your kind letter and also for copy Of
the Madison Courier with Dr.. Wiley's
letter referring to q conversation we
ad at lunch Jew weeks sgo at the
Palace Hotel.
The adventure referred to was on
November %, 1868. in the fork of the
Il ,ppahannock and Rspidsn rivers, 10
Culpeper county, Va. when Meade
crossed The Rapidan to attack General
Lee, but finding Lee in line of battle
on Mine Run he marched back and
went into winter quarters. AS DR..
Wiley is from Indiana | related it to
him, as l have done to others. with
the hope of getting clue to the two
privates of the Third Indiana cavalry
who came on the stage that evening
1t is true there was nothing theatrical
about the affair, but it now appears
through The mists of the past clothed
with all the colors OF romance, like
rainbow after storm. / have been 10
quest OF these men about as long az
JAphet was in search of father. Two
days before the affair we had burned
Meade's supply train that was loading
at Brar dy Station; he had sent caval
ry division to the rear to prevent us
from burning him up. OF course that
diminished Bis offensive power. The
rhild Indiana aud Eighth Illinois were
q part of this division; they were con-
sidered the two best cavalry regiments
10 the Army of the Potomac. 1t looks
as though Meade thought there was
danger behind as well as in front OF
him. l hsd left my command ten miles
pack, and with Frank Springfellow,
courier at Stuart's headquarters (noW
an Episcopal minster) had ridden on
n advance to reconnoitre the ford5 of
the Rapidan to find another assailable
point. When passing through a dense
woods we ran suddenly against two of
the 3rd Indana, who had been out for
aging and were returning to camp.
Each was carrying large bundle OF
fodder before him. This made it diff
cult Tor them to use their weapons, and
we drew on them first. AS they had
10 die or surrender they submitted to
the fate of war. They had sabres, pis-
,ols and carbines; these were two big q
load for me and Stringfellow to carry,
and as such things were scarce in the
Confederacy we didn't want to throw
hem away. So they were permitted to
keep their arms on their parole Of hon.
or. 1t was then near sundowD; String

told them who l was. When we got
TO the Barbour house. as they had ra-
lions in their haversaoks | proposed
that we go in and have some coffee
made. They were very willing. We
warmed by the fire while the coffee was
boiling; when it was ready we eat down
