beyond New England, while the west.
ern area Of high pressure and fair,
cold weather has advanced to the Mis-
sissippi valley, the fall in temperature
extending eastward to the Atlantic

the northern Rocky mountain states,
are resulting from the northwestern

Another high of marked intensity has

exercise of strategy. This was the big
gest haul Of prisoners in Missouri
since the war began. and so greatly
increased the number held by the Fed

do with army captives extremely awk-

General Price was in southwest Mis-

TO keep recruits and re-enforcements

a Confederate brigade
encamped at Fairfax. one days march
south Of Dranesville, was out for this
same purpose At least he was after
the hay. Stuart suspected that the
Federals were in the vicinity and sent
out cavalry detachments to seize the
road leading into the village. These
same roads the Pennsylvanians covet-
ed for their own purpose. AS usual.
In the early battles there was great
confusion as to colors. At one time
the Pennsylvania regiment allowed a
body of Confederates to come close
and pour into their ranks a deadly
voley because they took them to be
friends. Later on two Confederate
regiments. the First Kentucky and
Sixth South Carolina, did the same
thing on their side. The mistake pro-
duced confusion in Stuart's line.
Pioneer Sharpshooting.
When the main attack of the Fed
erals was made Stuart had his cavalry
and artillery well concealed behind
trees and bushes. In those days the
raw soldiers called this sort of thing
an ambush. But there was one regi-
ment of Pennsylvanians on the field
equal to any crisis. This was the First
rifles, also known as the Thirteenth
reserve and more popularity as the
"Bucktails' This body Of men had
been raised in that region Of western
Pennsylvania which is called the
wildcat district" The idea of enlist
ing mountaineers for warfare originat-
! ed with Thomas L. Kane. brother to
the arctic explorer. DranesviIle was
the first battle of the "Bucktails.' and
Kane had a chance to work out his
own idea of rife tnctics. With three
companies and battery he advanced
and captured brick house which was
] the Confederate citadel. The Buck
tails lay on the ground and loaded,
/ then arose. aimed and fred and drop
| ped back to load again. Kane was
shot. The enemy was repuIsed. The
affair ended a complete setback for
Stuart. He beat q retreat to point
five miles distant feebly pursued By
such men as Ord could rally on his
line. At SHUTDOWN the Federals also
retreated-that is 10 say. they went
back whence they had come. leaving
Stuart's dead and wounded on the Geld
Next day Stuart marched in and buried
his dead. the master OF Dranesville. he
brought up two additional regiments of
infantry and n detachment OF cavalry
His total loss the day before was 1914
killed. wounded and missing His en-
envy lost sixty eight in all. Before re
firing Ord loaded his wagons with corr
and hay. while Stuart was glad that be
got his wagons safely away empty.
This affair was Stuart's first attempt
to handle infantry in battle. 1t was
practically his last His proper place
. was at the head of cavalry brigade
to which he had been assigned some
weeks before. His regiments OF troop
ers. however. were scattered over
northern and western Virginia and
were not we'll IN hand when the emer
gency at Dranesville called him to the
field. His force at Dranesville con
sisted of four regiments of infantry

necessary to apologize for Stuart's Te
verse on this field. His biographer
