And, with a passionate embrace, he left her stun ling, white and still, in the pnle moonlight, his tirin, ringiug step carrying him out to a new life, new scenes, the buttle with the world: her trembling feet bearing her bnck to Old monotony, unhrokcu by the sunshine that had gladdened it the light of bis love.

He wns of age, a man of fine intellectual promiseunpoliahcd but well-studied learn ing, full of hope, ambition, and eourage, when he pressed his lure well kiss upon the lips of the maideu whose heart he hud won. His father, a quiet, studious man, Lad mus tered an immense fund of book learning; , and this, sifted and refined, cleared of all u-eksi dross, he had imparted to his only ; son. A brother of his mother's, a lawyer in full practice, had consented to take the young man to his office on trial, and "if there was uny stuff iu him, tench him the law;" mid so leaving his father' lonely home, his sweat heart's breaking heart, Coleman l.eu turned his back on L , to wiu a name and position in the world. 1 Four years rolled away. The meek ! widow, whose needle had known but little ! ret lot many weary years, lay tit last in the . little churchyard; the old schoolmaster, w ho j hud lost hi" son, had taken into his lonely i hoiii-e the widow's child, and Coleman Lee ' was still far itwny from his villBgo home, llii letters to the fair haired girl whose In art he hud won, were nt first long and frequent; then they grew shorter, and came at Inns interval, und tit lust tliey censed : altogether, and she had learned Hi lesion of iic'lcct.

From the time when llellen Montgomery ' had turned from the vine w rent lied porch to enter her poor home, eliu hail made a n:- resolution, which, through hard striving she had kept. She hud felt bitterly, that her education and manners were far llow the standard which he would seek iu his wife, utter he had lived in the great world outsideofL .and she hud tasked her mind to reach the ideal image she had ; erected for a model. For six months, her i life had no change from tint monotony of j household drudgery, nnd aiding her mother in the weary routine of sewing; then she was orphaned, nnd the old schoolmaster op "i.ed ids home toiler.

MISCELLANE0 The New York World has published scries of interesting articles giving the char acter and achievements of various rebel lead ers.

One of his latt contributions is on the ubiquitous Moseby, the great guerilla chief of the Virginia border the man who periled the safety of every hen-roost, horse-stable, money till, grocery and dry good store, corn crib and larder within lii3 range, and who de lighted in stopping railroad trains and rob bing every passenger indiscriminately, re gardless of age, sex or circumstances, of all monies, watches, jewelry and other valua ble. Of this accomplished free-booter the World' t correspondent thus graphically and " " vi"";" vJC u ried, and would probably have passed throuh life as a '-county court lawyer" had not the war taken place.

It is probable that the battle of Coder Run, w here General Pope was de feated, was fought liy Jackson in conse quence of this information. My object, liowcver, w not to write a biography of Colonel Moseby. It is fortu nate that such is not my design; for a ca reer of wonderful activity extending over about three years could uot be condensed into a brief paper. I shall speak of but ono or two other incidents in his career aud one shall be his surprise of Brigadier Gene ral Stoughton at Fuirfax Court House in tho winter of 1862. This affair excited un bounded indignation ou the part of many excellent people. Let us see if it was not a legitimate partisan operation. It was in November I believe, that Moseby received the information leading to his movement. The Federal Forces at that time occupied tho rcgloo between Fredericksburg and Alexandria, and as Geueral Stuart's activity and energy wero just cause of solicitude, a strong body of iutautry, cavalry, and artil lery was posted in tho neighborhood of Fair fax Court House and Centreville. Colonel Wvudham was In command of the cavalry, and acting Brigsdier-Geueral Etoughton, a young officer from West Point, comman ded the whole district, which bis headquar ters at the small village of Fairfax. Moseby formed desiun of capturing General Slough- ton, Colonel Wyndbuni, Colonel Johnson, and other officers; and sent scout to the neighborhood to ascertain tu force theie. 'Tbey brought ori that a strong body or infantry and artillery was at Centrcvilte; Colonel Wyndbam's brigade of cavalry at Germantown, a mile from Fairfax; and to wards the railroad station another brigade of infantry. Fairfax thus appeared to bu inclosed within a cordou of all arms, ren dering it wholly impossible even to ap proach it. Tlnwe who know the ground, as many of my readers doubtless do, will easily understand how desperate the undertaking appeared of penetrating to the town, and safely carrying off the Federal commandant. It was one of those schemes, however, whose very boldness is apt to cause them to suc ceed. Men rarely guard Against dangers which they do not dream it impossible can threaten them. Moaeby doubtless based his calculations upon this fact; nt any rate bo decided upon the movement, and with twenty-nine men set out one dark and driz zling November night for the scene of opcra tion.. The party had to steal off with their cap tures, if any were made, to cut their way through, anil on that block night no uniform was discernible. Moseby approached Ger mantown by the Little Kiver turnpike, but fearing Wyndhain's cavalry, oblirjued to the right, and took the woods skirting the War ren ton road. Centreville was thus, with it garrison, on his right and rear, Germantown on his left, and Fairfax, winged with infant ry camps, in his front. It was now raining heavily, nnd the night was like pitch. The party advanced by bridle paths through the woods, thus avoiding the pickets on the main avenues of approach, and the incessant patter of the ruin drowned the hoofitrokes of the horses. A mile from Fairfaxthe gleam of tents greeted them in front, and finding the ap proaches barred in that direction, they si lently obliqued to the right again, crossed the Warrenton road, aud gradually drew near the town on the southern Bide. Again the wet nnd rain served them. Their ad vance was undiscovered, and at last they were close upon the place. An infantry picket wns the only obstacle, and this was soon removed. The sleepy vidette found a pistol nt his breast, and the picket was com pelled to surrender without firing a shot. 1 ho way was then clear, and Mosehy enter- ed the town at a sailor).

At Moseby 's unceremonious '"Get ! up, General, nnd come, with me'." the sleeper started erect and demanded, "Do you know w ho 1 am sir?" apparently indignant at such a ceremony. "Do you know Moseby, Gene ral;" was the reply. "Ve," wns tilts eager response, "have you got the raseuK" "No, but lie has got you." And to tho startled "What does this mean, sir?" of Gen. Htotlglilon, Moseby replied, "It means thut (Jen. (Stuurt' cavalry arc iu possession of the court house, sir, and thut you are my prisoner." This disagreeable state of affairs slowly dawned upon thn uroused sleeper, and llesoon found himself dressed, mounted. and ready to set out a prisoner. Several! htalfollicers hud also been captured, and a considerable number of horses. Cols. Wynd ham uud Johnsou eluded the search for them. Deciding uot to burn tlic puolic stores w hich wero in the houses, Moseby then mouuted all his prisoner some thirty five, I believe, in number, including ubout half-a-dozen nllicers cautiously retracing his step, passing over the very s.tme ground, and stealing along, about dawn, under tho inuzzels of the guns in the works at Centre ville, so close that thu sentinel hailed the party, a wain Cub run. struck sou'hward, und "nt sunrise was safe beyond pursuit. The skill und boldness exhibited iu the conception and execution of this raid con ferred upon Moseby just fame as a partisan ollicer; und the regular organization of his command commenced. Hu wa made cap-1 tain, then major, then lieutenant colonel, aud ! colonel, as his force and operations increas- j ed. From the solitary scour. or l,illa,lu tie tiiic'.um, mtrusted with important duties, aud cicntually w ith the guardianship of the w hole extent of country north of the Kappa liUiiuotli, and east of the Hluo Ridge. The peoplo of tho regu-n speak of it with a laugh, as "Moieby Confederacy," aud the name will probably adhere to it, in tile notjular miud. for manv years to como. Let us pass to these latter (lay when "Colonel" Moseby gave the Federal force so much trouble and uroused so much Indignation in General Custer, General Sheridan, and otheis, whoso men ho captured, and w hose convoy he bo frequently cutoff and des troyed. Moseby was bom to be a partison leader, und as such wa probably greater than any other w ho took part in the war. Hu had by nature nil tho quulitie whioh make tho accomplished ranger; nothiug could daunt him: his uctivity of unod nud body call it, if vou choose, restless eternal love of move mentwas something woudertui; aud mat untiring energy w hich is the secret of half tho great successes of history, drove him incessantly to plan, to sclieuie, to conceive, and to execute. He could not rest when there was anything to do, and scouted for hi amusement, charging picket ulu by way of port. Ou dark and rainy nights, when other men aim at being comfortably housed. Moseby liked to bo moving with a detachment of LI men to surprise uud at tack some Federal camp, or to "run in" some picket, and occasion coustornation, if not inUict injury. Tho peculiar feature of his command was that tho mea occupied no stated camp, and, in fact, wero never kept together, except ou au expedition. They were scattered through out tho country, especially among the small farm bouse iu the spurs of the Blue liidge; and here they lived the merriest live im aginable. Tny were subjected tu uoue of the hardship aud privation of regular ol diers. Their horse wero In comfortable stables or ranged freely over excellent pas tures; the meu lived wilh their families, slept in beds, and bad nothing to do with "rations" of hard bread and bacon. Milk, butter, and all tha household luxuries of peace were at their command; and Dot. until tbeir chief summoned them did they buckle on their arm and ret to horse. ' - While tbev were thus llvin ! fat of , , - the land, Moseby was perhaps scouting off on his own private account somewhere down towards Manassas, Alexandria, or Leesborg. If his excursions revealed an opening for succeaslul operations, he sent off a well mounted courier, who travelled rapidly to the first nest of rangers; thence a fresh courier carried the summons elsewhere; and in a few hours twenty, thirty, or fifty men, excellently mounted, made their ap pearance at the prescribed rendezvous. The man who disregarded or evaded the second summons to a raid was summarily dealt w ith; he received a note for delivery to Gen. Stuart, and on reaching the cavalry head quarters was directed to return to the regu lar service front which he had been trans ferred. This seldom happened, liowcver. The men were all anxious to go upon raids, to share the rich spoils ; nnd ere prompt at the rendezvous. Once assembled, the ran gers fell into column, Moseby said "Come on;" and the party set forward upon the ap pointed task to surprise some camp, cap ture an army train, or ambush some detach ed party of Federal cavalry on a foraging expedition. Such a life is attractive to the imagina tion, and tho meu came to have a passion for it. Uut it ia a daogcrou service. It may with propriety be regardod as a trial of wits between the opposing commanders. The great praise of Moseby was that his superior skill, activity, and good judgment gave biin almost uninterrupted success, and invariably saved him from cupture. An attack upon Col. Cole, of the Maryland cavalry,neur London Heights, in the winter of 1803-4, was his only serious failure., and that appears to have resulted from a disobe dience of his orders. He had here spnic valuable officer nnd men killed. Ho wns several times wounded, but never taken. On the last occasion, in 1804, bo was shot through the window of a house in Fauquier, but managed to stagger into u darkened room, tear otf his stars, tho budges of his rank, and counterfeit a person mor tally wounded. His assailnut left him dying as they supposed, without discover ing his identity, aud when they did discover it hurried back, he had beon rer.ioved beyond reach of peril. After his wounds, ho always 18(53. General Staurt was then near Mid- dleburg, watching General Hooker, who was about to move towards Pennsylvania, but could get uo accurate information from his scouts. Silent, puzzled and doubtful, tho General walked up and down, knitting his brows and reflecting, when tho little figure of Moseby appeared, and Stuart uttered an exclamation of relief and satis faction. They were speedily iu private con sultation, and Moseby only came out again to mouut his quick grey mare and set out, in a heavy storm, for the Federal camps. On the next day ho ret tired with informa tion w hich put the entire cavalry in motion. He bus penetrated General Hooker's camps, ascertained everything, and safely returned. This had been done iu his grey uniform, with his pistols ia his belt ; and I believe it wus on this occasion that he gave a charac teristic evidence of his coolness. He had captured a Federal cavalryman, and they were riding on together, when suddeuly they struck a column of he Union cavalry passing. Mosebv drew bis oil cloth around him, cocked his pistol, and said to his com pnnion, "it you make any sign or utter a word to have inc captured, I will blow your brains out and trust to the speed of my horse to escape. Keep quiet, aud we will rido on without troubling anybody." His prisoner took the hint, believing doubt less that it wus better to be a prisoner than a dead man ; and after riding along careless ly for some distance as though he were ono of the column, Moseby gradually edged off, and got away safely with his prisoner.
