by the cavalry leader as a scout on
the headquarters staff
In June. 1854. Moshy led bold
raid, gaining the rear of Mcclellan
army on the Chtckahominy and caus-
ing much trouble and creating not a
little CONSERVATION TO the Federal
commander. He returned to North
ern Virginia, occupied by Federal
forces and. recruiting an irregular cav
airy force, which later was organized
as a regular branch of the 4Srd Vir-
ginia battalion, harassed the invad-
ers Though their price was never
greater than 500 to 400 men. Mosby
and his band are credited with hav-
Federal troops. by worrying them al
most to distraction In their effort
to evade the raiders or to capture
them.
1t was seldom that any considerable
number of Moshy's men was found
together. except when they were en-

A feat that has placed Mosby and

Mosby penetrated the Federal
lines and captured Brigadier- General
Stoughton In his own headquarters at
Fairfax Courthouse. Another Federal
officer captured by Moshy's men was

made prisoner In October. 1854. near
Washington. when the guerrillas cap

$16s,000 In greenbacks. tore up the

Promotion to major was Mosby's
reward after the capture OF Slough

as such he continued until his regi-

Few persons, even among the Presidents

on the brink of hostilities with another country
partlsanship ceases in order that united front
may be presented to the enemy; but Col Roose-
