First Visit Since the War.

This is tho first time Col Mosby has
been on the battlefield since the war.
Most of the time was spent on the
Lewis and Henry farms. where he was
principally engaged on the day of bat
tie. He vividly described the situation
to his auditors. telling about several
scares and panics which took place
within the Confederate lines.
At one time. he said. a part of the
cavalry, including Mosby himself, was
hurried off to Manassas to ascertain the
cause of great cloud Of dust discovered
by Gen: Johnston. Long Tom" the big
gun of the Federals. was sending its
big shells hurtling over the Fairfax up
lands. but apparently accomplished no
damage He also saw Gen. Kirby Smith
brought in wounded on stretcher.
He made critical tour of the Henry
farm, inspecting the various positions
and locating the movements In which
the troops became involved. and was
anxious to know the location of two Of
the early camping places. known as
Camp Walker and Camp P1ckens. and
also where Jefferson Davis slept on the
night Of the battle
