A Participant in the most brilliant battle fought by Mosby's command. From Richmond, Va., Times-dispatch August 1, 1909. Replying to Captain W. L. White's inquiry in regard to the late Joseph Bryan's service as a soldier in Mosby's command, Colonel Mosby writes as follows: Department of Justice, Washington, July 16, 1909. Mr. William L. White: Dear Sir:—Your letter of inquiry in reference to Joe Bryan just received. I do not remember the date when he joined me, but do know that in 1864 he was wounded in a fight near Upperville; that in 1864 he was detailed to watch in the Bull Run Mountain, when I was lying wounded in Fauquier, and that in February, 1865, he was in what I have always said was the most brilliant affair of my command, when Major Richards with thirty-seven men attacked and routed a Major Gibson with 150 men (Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry), killing, wounding and capturing nearly the whole force. I was then absent wounded. Very truly, John S. Mosby

enough, the very next day, a vessel pulling up its anchor near where the boat sank, drew up the poor man's boat, safe and whole, after it. We went back to Boston after dinner, but it was somewhat of a cold ride, especially after the night set in, a keen northerly wind blowing in great gusts, which did wellnigh benumb us. A little way from Reading, we overtook an old couple in the road; the man had fallen off his horse, and his wife was trying to get him up again to no purpose; so young Mr. Richards, who was with us, helped him up to the saddle again, telling his wife to hold him carefully, as her old man had drank too much flip. Thereupon the good wife set upon him with a vile tongue, telling him that her old man was none other than Deacon Rogers of Wenham, and as good and as pious a saint as there was out of heaven; and it did ill become a young, saucy rake and knave to accuse him of drunkenness, and it would be no more than his deserts if the bears did eat him before he got to Bo

Twice did Charles II. remonstrate against the disobedience of his subjects; twice did Randolph cross the Atlantic, and return to England, to assist in directing Chap XII.} 1682 the government against Massachusetts. The commonwealth was inflexible. At length, in February, 1682, the aspect of affairs in England rendered delay more dangerous; and Dudley and Richards were selected as agents. Yet, while the prayers of the whole commonwealth went up for their safety, and the safety of the patent, they were expressly enjoined to consent to nothing that should infringe the privileges of the government established under the charter. A singular method was also attempted. In the English court every thing was venal. France had succeeded in bribing the king to betray the political interests of England; Massachusetts was willing to bribe the monarch into clem

o took it, three. Four got Robinson; five got Dix; Johnson primus demanded six; And so the sum kept gathering still Till after the battle of Bunker's Hill. When paper money became so cheap, Folks wouldn't count it, but said ‘a heap,’ A certain Richards, the books declare,— (A. M. in ‘90? I've looked with care Through the Triennial,—name not there,) This person Richards was offered then Eight score pounds, but would have ten; Nine, I think, was the sum he took,— Not quite certain,—but see the Richards was offered then Eight score pounds, but would have ten; Nine, I think, was the sum he took,— Not quite certain,—but see the book. By and by the wars were still, But nothing had altered the Parson's will. The old arm-chair was solid yet, But saddled with such a monstrous debt! Things grew quite too bad to bear, Paying such sums to get rid of the chair! But dead men's fingers hold awful tight, And there was the will in black and white, Plain enough for a child to spell. What should be done no man could tell, For the chair was a kind of a nightmare curse, And every season but made it worse. As a last resort

Racing in the West. --A correspondent of the Spirit of the Times, writing from Louisiana, and referring to the Metairie Spring meeting, says: Some new drafts from Kentucky have already joined Col. Richards, to be trained for the spring campaign, which opens brilliantly on the 28th of March, with a hand to hand contest between Waccamaw and Costa Diva, the odds being $1,500 on the latter against $1,000 on the former, with a forfeit of $225 on the side that fails to take the field on t nominations in this stake sixteen have been declared not to start and one has died, leaving seven capable of starting. Among these is Ninette, own sister to Planet, and twice a winner this fall; Regret, winner of the Gold Cup Stake, at Natchez, Col. Richards' imp. ch. c. by West Australian; Gen.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.letter from the Springs. Warm Springs, Va., May 5, 1861. The war spirit is rife here. A Cavalry company of some 70 strong, under Capt. Richards, has been ready twice to depart, but both times has been disappointed, very much to their mortification. As the Cavalry is rather overdone in Virginia, I wish this company were one of rifles, because nearly every man in it is a crack shot with that weapon. We had a drilling of officers yesterday, by Col.--. The officers were exercised with diligence for several hours. The venerable William McClintick, one of the oldest citizens of Bath, a county so famed for its longevity, was present, and, as he knows much of military tactics, he showed much interest in the manŒuvres, and frequently assisted in explaining them. He is one of the wisest and best informed men in the country. He is deeply enlisted in the pending struggle, and speaks with the utmost confidence of the result. He believes f

d stampede was overcome. Meanwhile the enemy upon the opposite side of the river endeavored to force the passage of the bridge with one piece of artillery, which he had held in reserve; but in this movement he was checked by a bold charge of Capt. Richards, of the Bath Cavalry, who was stationed on the opposite side of the road. A running fire then ensued which continued up the main street of the town, the enemy having finally succeeded in crossing the bridge, and the successive discharges frohad been up during the entire night, preparing the vouchers for the horses which had been pressed into service and were to be paid for. These vouchers were upon his person, and, with his body are presumed to have been taken by the enemy. Capt. Richards, of the Bath Cavalry, who was reported to be killed, escaped unhurt, and reached Beverley with his corps on Monday. Private L. B. Dangerfield, from the Warm Springs, was not killed, as reported. He received a severe and painful wound on
