On'Friday last, March Zth, - captain 'E.'
Gero, of the
.Griswold Light Cavalry, was
sent out with 125 men to the neighborhoods
of Berryville-and Winchester an a scout, and
I encamped at Milltvood, 'seine six- or eight
miles from the former place.. After the men
had got their fires built; Sergeant Weather
, ee r of—com patty—BCorporal--Sim pson,--of-
Company H, and a private, went some two
.miles from tamp to got supper at a farm
house, and while waiting for the long delay
ed, ted, were surprised to And several revol
vers suddenly advance into the room, behind
each pair of which, was either loseby,
a Rebel Captain, or a Lieutenant; all rather
deiced men, with ‘!shoot in their eyes,"
who demanded the immediate surrender of
the aforesaid Yankees.. The aim being wick-
ed, the three Twenty-firsters saw they were

Col. Moseby Was much elated ,with his
p,ood fortune / and required his prisoners to
follow him supperless on his rounds to his
headquarters at Paris; the Filet°, however,
while pretending to get his horse, hid him
self in the hay and escaped ► Moseby,not dar
lug to wait and hunt him.
On the way. to Paris the Colonel amused
himself by constantly taunting his prisoneri,
with questions—" Were they with MAIN
Joie when he thrashed him at Upperville
"Were they with Major Sullivan, of the Ist
Veterans, when his men ran away and left
him ?" "How did they like his grey nag ?
—he took that from a Yankee Lieutenant."
"Didn't the Yankees dread him and his men
more than they did Rebel Cav
alry ?" "Hew did they" (the prisoners)
"like.his style of fighting.?" and a hundred
such remarks that indicate the man as being
more of a fain braggart than a hero.
• He was, in the thean_tiwe i engaged in gall,
eriitg
his men with the avowed intention of
attacking Capt. Glare's force at daylight, and
if possible, of cutting it to pieces. If is fol
lowers live in the farmhouses of Loudoun,
Clark and Jefferson counties, and are either
Rebel soldiers or Union citinens, as the case
-may require—He-would-ride -up_to-a-house„
call Joe or Jake, and tell them that he - wan
ted them at such an hour at the usual place
—to go and tell Jim or Moss-almost every
: farm turned out somebody in answer to his
call, proving that these men, with the certi
-1 fled oath of allegiance-in their pockets, and
with passes allowing them to emus in and go
out of our lines at will,. are not only in sym
pathy with the enemy, but are themselves
perjured Rebels.
When they arrived at Paris ; Colonel Mose
by dismounted and stepped into the house
where he has his headquarters,. leaving his
pistol in the holsters. The Lieutenant, with
drawn revolver, watched the prisoners, while
the Captain endeavored to find an Orderly to
take the horses. Corporal SiMpson, who had
been, marking the road for future use; and
had been long looking for fit, saw his chance
-and-pretended to tie his-horse,--but--really
puttinghisfooot into the
and laying hold of one of the over
looked pistols. The Lieutenant detecting the
move, fired at him, when S. shot him through
the heart with the weapon ,he had secured.
The Captain turned round and fired, and Col
otiel Mosell came to the door to see "what
all that—row was about," just in time to
hear a bullet whiz unpleasantly close to his
head that S. fired itt him, "just for luck,"ms
he arid' his comrade left—yelling back :
"Col. bloseby, how do you like our style of
fighting r We belong to the 21st New York."
And away they, went, leaving Col. Moseby
disinounted i and outwitted of his liorSe, pis
tols and. overcoat, two Yankee prisoners, and
with at least one vacancy among his eommis
sioned officers. Corporal Simpson rode twelve
miles to the camp, closely followed by the
Sergeant, and gave Captain (Jere such no
tice of the enemy's intentions that they
thought host not to pitch in at the appoint
ed time'
The captured horse itt a very fine one s and
with the arms equipments, tf.e. are still. in
the possession of Simpson. 'We believe it is
the intention of the regiment to buy them
from the Government and to present them
to the “Yankee Corporal who beat Noseby
Out of his pet nag.'
