hom was his lieutenant, and scattered the few remaining members of his troops to the winds. Blazer admits that he was beaten and broken up in a fair fight. The strangest part of this story is, the small loss sustained by our men. We had one man killed and five slightly wounded. The latter are believed to have been shot by our men in the excitement of the charge and the pursuit. Captain Blazer and eighteen of his command arrived in this city on Tuesday evening in charge of privates John A. Payne and Harry Shand, company B, Mosby's command. The rest of the Yankees captured in this fight were too badly wounded to be removed from the neighborhood of the battlefield. The following is the account given by the New York Herald's correspondent of this affair: "It is reported that a party of our men, who, a few days ago, went out in search of Mosby's guerrillas, were met and overwhelmed by a largely superior force, after a severe fight, and that all but fifteen or twenty

"Our cavalry had quite a sharp engagement on the 12th, Rosser, with his old brigade and Wickham's, was on our left — Payne, with his brigade, on the pike — and Lomax, with his command, on the right. Rosser's old brigade was whipped; but the fortunes of the day on the left were more than restored by Wickham's brigade and by Payne's, which moved up to Rosser's assistance. Our loss was small. The enemy left between one hundred and fifty and two hundred prisoners. Wickham's and Payne's brigades are said to have behaved with great gallantry.

It was in this affair, leading a handful of his regiment, that Lieutenant-Colonel Marshall was killed. Colonel Marshall was a son-in-law of Mrs. Barton, widow of David Barton, Esq., formerly of Winchester. This lady has lost, since the war, her husband, two sons, two daughters, a brother, a son-in-law — these are dead; another of her sons has lost a leg, and another is now absent from his command wit<
