mmanded a view of every movement in consequence of that location. Hancock's Corps occupied Thoroughfare Gap. Moving to the right, we passed through Glasscock's Gap without serious difficulty, and marched for Haymarket. I had previously sent Major Mosby, with some picked men, through to gain the vicinity of Dranesville, and bring intelligence to me, near Gum Spring, today. (You will bear in mind that Haymarket is in Prince William county, east of the Bull Run mountains, and that was the firs but the evidence was conclusive that the enemy had left this point entirely, the mobilized army having the day previous moved over towards Leesburg, while the locals had retired to the fortifications near Washington. I had not heard yet from Major Mosby, but the indications favored my successful passage in the rear of the enemy's army. After a halt of a few hours to rest and refresh the command, which regaled itself on stores left by the enemy in the place, the march was resumed at Dranesvil

Longstreet and Stuart. [from the Richmond (Va.) times, Feb'y 2, 1896.] Highly interesting review by Colonel John S. Mosby. Cause of the loss of Gettysburg. Many of Longstreet's statements in his book Combatted by Colonel Mosby—The want of cavalry had nothing to do with the result of the battle. General Longstreet, having acted a great part as a soldier, now appears as the historian of the war. His book will soon be buried in the dust of oblivion, but, fortunately for him, his fame does not rest upon what he has written, but what he has done.

Robert Edward Lee—the peerless soldier of the centuries—without raising my humble voice or using my feeble pen in indignant burning protest. J. William Jones, The Miller School, Crozet, Va. February 11, 1896. Stuart and Gettysburg. Col. John S. Mosby's defense of the great cavalry leader. San Francisco, Cal., January 28, 1896. To the Editor of the Dispatch. I have just read in the Post the report of Colonel Charles Marshall's speech at the celebration of the anniversary of Gennsible for the loss of the campaign, and that it was not Stuart. There were no orders to make a reconnoissance on July 1st, and no necessity for making one. The success of the first day, due to the accident of Ewell's arrival on the field when he was not expected, was a misfortune to the Southern army. It would have been far better if Ewell had let Hill and Heth be beaten. They had put the Confederates in the condition of a fish that has swallowed a bait with a hook to it. John S. Mosby
