TILE DOUBLE ROBBERY
Towards the close of the last con•

fish border were terribly infested by
those—to the buccolie mind—partic
ularly obnoxious specimens of the ge
nus thief known as, "rievers" or "lift
ers of cattle.
Almost all the rascals who followed
this not unlucrative profession trusted
chiefly to mere brute force to carry
out successfully their nefarious
scheMes. There was, however, one
exception to this rule to be found in
the person of a celebrated free•boot
er, known as "Dickey of Kingswood.
This worthy openly expressed his
disapprobation of his rivals' vulgar
mode of following their professions,
and repeatedly boasted that he could
achieve twice as much by his cunning
as they could by their brute force.—
Nor was this assertion of his mere
empty boastingfar from it.
In a few years' time Dickey's name
became the terror of the country
side: No farmer felt secure, when
ho re.ired to-rest at night, that his
cattle might not have vanished be•
fore morning. So cleverly, moreov
er, were Dickey's enterprises conduct
ed, that no man could ever succeed in
making personal acquaintance with
him. He openly set justice at defi
ance, and laughed at the futile efforts
of the law to punish him. Perhaps;
however, the best way to illustrate
the adroitness and good luck which
characterized all Dickey's proceed.
i-ngs will be for ine to relate the sto
try of one of his exploits.
Is appears, then, that during the
course, of his peregrinations through
Northumberland one fine afternoon,
Dickey's eye were gladened by the
sight of a pair of fine oxen which
were quietly grazing in a field near
Benton Burn, a village distant three
miles from Newcastle.
Determined to possess them, Dick
ey hung about the place until night.
fall, watched where the anarnals were
driven to, and, his usual good fortune
assisting him, speedily secured his
prize. He also contrived, by the ex
ercise of his accustomed cunning, to
leave such traces behind him as made
the owner of the oxen certain that
the freebooter had made off towards
the Tweed. Thither he proceeded in
hot baSte. In the interim, however,
Dickey had lost no time in "making
tracks" towards the west country,
and so expeditous Were his movements
that in a short time he reached Lan•
in. with an old farmer on horseback,
who, being delighted with the appear
ance _of the oxen forthwith purchas
ed them:
Dickey was of course rejoiced at
getting rid so pleasantly of a charge
which could not fail to be troublesome
—nay, possibly, dangermis—to him
longer to retain. The farmer, more
over, was mounted upon a splendid
mare, which Dickey, with his peculi
ar ideas on the subject of ?neunt and
teum, at once resolved; by fair means
or foul, to secure. .11e, therefore, \di;
lingly accepted the farmer's ,hospita
ble invitation to accompany him to
his house in order that they might'
'crack' a bottle of wine in honor of
their bargain. Presently: Dickey' in
quired of the farmer if he would sell
him his mare?.
'Sell you my mare!' exclaimed his
host, all aghast at his proposition.—
'Sell you my mare I No, thank you
Why, there's not her equal in the
whole country.'
- don't doubt it, 31:r. Musgrave' re
sponded Dickey; .and froM what I
saw of her paces this morning,

of us ; but since you will not sell her,
I can only wish you long life and
(rood health to enjoy her.'
This sentiment was, of course, duly
honored in a bumper.

'Stable !ha I ha chuckled: the far

wood would find it rather difficult to
steal my mare out of her Stable.'
'lndeed! where may her stable , be
situated' inquired Dickey.
'Her stable? God bless you sir!'
answered Mr. Musgrave, "her stable
is in my bed room. I'm a bachelor,
and so every night I fasten her to my
bed post. I have had a manger put
up in the room for her, and no mu
sic is so pleasant to me as to hear her
grinding: her corn all night by my
side. •
Dickey Was astounded—as well he
might be—at such unheard of pro.
cautions; but disguising 11;s astonish
ment, he contented himself by sim
ply expresSing to the farmer his
hearty approval of the means he had
adopted to secure the safety of his
favorite.

'Como with me, and I will shoW

ThiS Was O course just What Dick
ey wanted. ' He examined the lock
carefully, arid soon satisfied himself
that he could pick it without much

Mr. Musgrave,

I was rather struck by their appear.
ante, and learned on inquiry, from
one of his servants, that Mr: Musgrave
had purchased them just yesterday.—
Undoubtedly the oxen are yours. I
would advise you to go to Lanercost
at once; and claim them.'
'Certainly I replied•the other.
'But I am knocked up with walking ;
and it is a long way to Lahereost.=
I see you have a good beast. Will
you sell her ?'
After some hard bargaining, terms
were agreed upon, the purchase mon•
ey paid down on the spot, and Dickey
and the farmer separated ; the for.
mer to seek his'stolen oxen, actually
from the very owner of the stolen
mare he was himself riding ; whilst
Dickey proceedek..'where he listed.'
The next day the farmer' reached
Lanercost, and, of course, at once re.
cognized his oxen grazing in the field.
He forthwith rode up to an elderly
man standing near, whom he suppos
ed to be the owner of the field, and
exclaimed :
Say friend,. those are my oxen in,
your field. How may you havecome
by- them ?' -
'And I'll be d—d,' replied the other
after taking a long, and, astonished
look at theanimal,bn which his quest
ioner was mounted, 'if that's not, my
mare you are riding! How may have
come by her, pray ?'
Each, of course,
described the per
son from whom they had respectively
purchased the mare; and when : he
was done, they diScolierd that they
had been 'sold' by a rogue of no com
mon order.
So laughable, however did the joke
appear—even to those who had to
'pay the piper' in the affair—that
neither party could prevent breaking
into a peal of merriinent when the
particulars were fully disclosed:
It was now clear that the only way
to settle the affair, was for each party
to take back his own property. Mr.
.111ug!rrave was, of course, overjoyed
at the recovery of his favorite .mare;
and the Denton Dim farmer, being
equally delighted at the recovery of
his favorite oxen—it fell out that
Dickey was allowed to quietly: pocket
the sale money of both mare and oxen.
Whether Dickey ultimately came
to an untimely end, or whether he re
formed his ways, and died in his own
bed, history telleth not. Certain it is,
however, that to this day his deeds are
"household words," in many parts of
Northumberland, and the mention of
his name among the peasantry is
considered s,ynonymous with 'cute
ness.'

FROM CAPT. WEIDMAN,
Sesc'ri Thg `t7e Battles before 2&li oucl.
• This long letter is now drawing toward a close
for nothing has occurred here, which is of autlt
cient importance to Make it more tedious, but it
would be entirely incomplete without some ob
servations, 'which will perhaps, with what I have
alread said, give the attentive reader, a perfect
idea of the general valor and endurance: dis
played by this noble army, and the undoubted
facts contained in vvhich, will make the heart of
every Pennsylvanian beat high with pride and
pleasure, by the glorious conduct of the Reserves
particularly, of whom I know most, our regi
ment,'although not a part of them, being attach
ed to them in place of Bayard's, which now forms
part of his Brigade. Before closing my narra
tive I should, however, have stated that Capt.
Herron, left us at the camp, where itre were sta
tioned before our night march to this place,. to
visit the wagons and whilst there accidentally
shot himself through the thigh, and has gone
home, leaving me in command of the scruadton
which now forms the left of such of the regiment
as are here assembled—the four companies under
Lieut. Col. Kew, being now positively heard
from, are safe, and at Fortress Munroe, and will
be here in a few days.
The loss in our regiment has been variously
stated in the newspapers, and by some corres
pondents, we hairs been completely cut to pieces.
One cannot, upon reflection, blame these gentle
men much. They expose themselves, as a gen
eral rule, to the greatest danger, to obtain clear
and accurate information, and often receive state.
men ts froth persons who should know the facts,
which they have every reason to believe true,
which, nevertheless from some private motive of
the author 'are .utterly unfounded. They have
not time to compare and collate accounts for their
busizess is to give early, as well as accurate in
formation, and they are as far as my personal as
quaintance.with them goes en honorable, intelli
gent, and very agreeable class of gentlemen. Of
course, there are exceptions.—Men who take ad.
vantage of their position, to give officers a repu
tation, they in, no wise deserve. It does not do
much harm. — Fur • if a newspaper reputation
grows.like the gourd, it withers as fast, where
there is no real merit to maintain it. The offi
cial reports are terrible dampers on this •kind of
fume. its exact loss, as I have taken some trou
ble to ascertain, is as follows, viz :
tat Squad., Co. F., Capt. 13erron-1 man
wounded; 1 horse killed; 4 horses wounded.
let Squad., Co. F., Capt. Weiditinn-1 Corpo
ral, Bennet, missing, probably captured ; 1 horse
killed; I horse missing.

The loss in Capt. Thylor's company was far
more severe than that in any other company,
proportioned to the number of men actually en
gaged. Re himself, and a sergeant, two corpo
rals and twenty men, were all who were really
on 'the field, General McCall having' directed the
remainder to stay at a particular place, ready for
instant service whenever he shotild want them.
Capt. Taylor hitilsclf did duty, as one' of his
aids, and the other man he used .as Orderlies to
carry mesiages, or for any other pUrpose. It is
facts like these, which demonstrate the utter fear
lessness, which. this gentleman, who was thetar
get for so many slanders, during the winter and
spring, possessed, as these men were with him
throughout the day, and aloes of trout of 22' is a
pretty heavy per-centage, especially where there
was net; nor very well could be, any hand to
hand fighting.. The hoise I lost, was ridden iu
the ranks, against my wishes and remenstiances,*
by Sergeant George K. Iless„ whom I had desired,
'to stay with - the wag Ons; neither 1111 - 1117 nor horse
being fit for service, the Sergeant suffering from

In fact, the only trophy I have is a sword-bayo

Co. E., and which is a splendid weapon, for Et
hand to hand light. .._
It will be some time before the official reports
from the Penn. Reserves, will give their correct
loss, but from some facts I am about to state, it
must be frightful. In a conversation with Dr:
Meredith Clymer, of Philadelphia, who is a Di
vision Surgeon of the Reserves, 'and of course
has many good opportunities of knowing, will*
took place at dinner at Falmouth about the Mid
dle of June, the strength of the Reserves became
the enbject of debate. I fixed it at 12,000, with
out counting our regiment, or its own regitifetit
of Cavalry, Col. (now Gen.) Bayard's, which war
detached. Ile told me I was Much mistaken;
that their ranks were much thinned tly, pieta°
and discharge, and if Gen. McCall could Place
10,000 effective men under McClellan's command
he would be doing well. On Thursday and Fri
day, the Reserves bore the brunt of the fighting ' together with the other troops on their right, all
being under the command of Gen. Fitz John
Porter. How many there were, orhow composed
Ido not know. Some were from New York and
some from Massachusetts. Although opposed to:
at least twice their number, their loss on Thud;
day, was not eotuparatively speaking, great.—
They were generally protected, 4r, the naturally
strong position held by theM, by breantWorks, In
the form of rifle pits` and abattis, and in some
places by regular entrenchments, although I did
not see these last mentioned myself. Of course;
these afforded little protection from artillery, but
against musketry they answered well. On Fri
day the case was different. Their position waif
a good one, and in some eases, protected by
woods, but for the Most part, their lines, stretch
ed through open fields, exposed to the fire of all
arms, except the protection they could get by
laying down. The only idea I have , of the num
bers brought against them is formed in this way.
A Richmond paper of Saturday, which *as taken
from a dead body, stated that theil:, force was
sixty-five thousand men. Cul. Childs in men
tioning this to me, and his opportunities to obtain .
this kind of information, were at that time very
good, said that he could not in any estimate he
bad been able to make, rate Gen. Porter's force
as more than 25,000 effective men, but it might .
possibly run as high as 28,000, dependent on the
number of stragglers and absentees who had
come in on Friday morning. You most estimate
for yourself the probable number of the Reserves;
when they went into action on Friday. My
opinion is that they had about 8,000 effective
men. No one will ever certainly know; as the
morning reports, were merely an aPprotieh td thg
truth. Their loss during the action is:yet equal.:
ly uncertain, but an approximation to it, may he
arrived at by gleaning the letters of correspond.
ents of the different regiments, and, by isolated
facts like these. I was at Capt.• Chow's, the Di
vision Commissary, on Sunday morning, when
the provision returns of the 11th and Bth refit.
meets were brought in, and his brother, showed
them to me. Ile told me that on the morning of .
the 25th of June the Bth drew rations for 718!
men. Their provision latent for the 29th! of .
June was for 450 men, and was draWn for more
than they really had in eipeetition of straggler&
coming in. The Ilth Rog% Reserves drew for
745 men on the morning of the 25th. no kV,'
vision return which I saw also on the 29th of
June, asked for 110 rations, and this number
poor Biddle told me was at a later .cried of the
rainy, within my view, or rather hearing, for the
woods prevented me from actually seeing the'
contest between them and the rebels. By one'
account they had 80 mien lart, all told; by an
other, 240, the latter being probably nearest to
the truth. I could give you other reports lint
they layover' more vague and unsatisfactory than
this taSt: I have seen a great many of the offi
cers and men of the Reserves; Who Lae personal:
ly known to me for yeari. From the variou's
rea
suns assigned by them, for their rout,, I mention.
these as among the most probable. The whole of
the men, were angry, and dissatisfied at being
withdrawn from the strong position thel ha held
so successfully at Beaver Dam Creek, and there;
fore not in tho best state of mind to reneWGM
fight against as great or greater odds, in an open
position. The regiments posted on the right of
the Reserves, state that they would not hive fled;
but maintained the contest as rigorously tfirmigh:
out as they did in the beginning, had not the
Witty on their tight; inn directly through their *
lines; and,tirus broke it. The then were much
fatigued, having marched, with fieenitonat halts:
from about midnight until' noon of Friday; they
then rested till the enemy advanced. Some of
the officers behaved very badly, which' is alWayf
the surest way to bring on a panic. Col. Har
vey, for instance, as I beard the story threw away
his sword and hid himself behind a log. It was
all some of his officers could do; to prevent his
then Irma shooting him. At all events; General
McClellan requested him to resign, which hidilf
en. Wednesday, the 2d inst; The urea wetapoor- .
ly fed, and suffered much from want of Water,.
the former on account of the confusion amongst
the trains; the latter owing to its scarcity in a'
drinkable condition. Their muskets became ve
ry dirty, nearly all firing aixtry rounds, and' some
over a hundred. One Captain, told me his men,
bad sixty rounds in their cartridge boxes, and
sixty in their knapsacks, and feW men hail over
twenty left after the action was over. He said;
that more than a dozen had come to hit& during .
the fight to get their balls rammed home; which
had stuck in the barrel. Lastly, they were over
whelmed with numbers. Those who saw or
beard the fire of the opposing lines, and, of
coutse, could form a tolerably acinrafe idea, of
their relative numbers, did not wonder that they
finally gave way; but that they held out so long;
It is said, that With their stragglers nearly all in;
they earner aboitt 5',000'. This tells OM story
of their desperate resistance better than words
can db it. All honor to this glorioni and valiant
corps, and let F'enadyrrania write it among her
archives that her sons, during this bloody week,
made even disaster a triumph, and their final de-,
feat, purchased by the rebels at the fell cost of
their own number in dead and wounded; and this
by their own admission.
A word as to the overwhelming numbers of the
enemy. fdo not believe that their Whole force;
greatly exceeds ours. No one eitiept tithed Who
ought to know has any accurate ideas of oar num
ber; and the knowledge of their number is for
like reasons, equally imperfect. Still almost any,
in tell:gent mad can Make an estimate Which shall
not be very Wide of the mark in either case. If
therefore the two armies met in pitched hattlei
which haS not yet happened, bdt, I think; *ill
before a very great while, neither the one nor the;
other would have such a superiority in numbers
as to make that fact, a decisive element of the
result. Such has not been the nature of the late
contests. Gen. McClellan fa expectation of re:
inforeements which never arrived, stretched his
right wing, with the White House, on the Pa
monkey river, as his base of, operations so far;
that it was his weak point. it never WSW, in any
immediate danger of seriods disaster for a corps
d'armeti, however long its line, or however dile
calt its communications is not to be picked up
and pocketed like an infantry picket, or scouting
party of cavalry. In the meantime the main
body of hie forces in the centre and left w.keg
were gradually melting away by disease. The
abominable water of the swamps, and the neigh
boring country, with the miasma constantly aris
ing from them was decimating the army. Even
we on the right wing, were beginning to suffer,
in which part 61 the country, a good well is here
and there to be found, bat a spring of wholesome
water never. At least, I never saw one, and to
search for it, was always my earliest care, when
we halted' for any time. A change' of pokirion
became a. matter of necessity, and the Prepare
titans for it, were ro well made, that the loss at:
the White House of the immense quantity of
stores and material of all kinds collected there,,
was realty trifling. From rittht f can' learn; if
there had been transportation there in time;
which can never.he calculated on with certainty;
in consequence of the difficult navigation of the'
Pamunkey, and York rivers,not a potted ytel'l.
have been had. Plantied and br Man tly
successful inroad of Stewart and Zee, upon our
rear on the lath of June or thereabout, at once,
discovered to the enemy what was going on, and
a search, which Would hare bean, quietly, and'
perhaps secretly conducted, was converted tale'
