While Stonewall Jackson was re tiring upon Harrisonburg, pushed by Fremont and watching out for Shields, the rear of his army was defended by Gen. ABhby, of cavalry fame. His immediate command numbered less than 1,000 horse men, and uutil the last few miles of the inarch he checked all as saults with cavalry and artillery. It was a highway admirably laid out for successful defense by a rear" guard. Always narrow full of sharp descents aud sudden curves natural ambuscades at every mile it needed only a dozen men at certain spots to hold a regiment at bay for a quarter of an Hour Jackson pushed ahead at a famous rate, and the roar of the guns of the rear guard was ever m his ears. At one point nine dismounted cavalrymen held the narrow roau until the Federals had advanced two full regiments, and 100 men bad worked their way up the sides of the mountain to flank the little band. These nine men killed and wounded twenty-three men before they were pushed back, ana tnougn a dozen shells were fired at tbem as they retreated along a straight stretch of road, not a man was in jured. , THE CAPTUKE OF WTKDHAM. During the afternoon of the last day of the retreat the Federal Gen. Wvndham. who had command of a full brigade of cavalry, was pushed to the front to drive through the Confederate rear guard. - The spot chosen was where . the highway stretched across a level, this giving the cavalry room to deploy and maneuver. Not quite half a mile beyond the Confederate rear-guard was holding the hill over which the road wound. The pieces ofartn lery wereiposted in i the road, and dismounted cavalry supporcea cnetn When it was seen that Wyndham's brigade was massing for a charge Ash by hastily collected about 700 of his men and massed them in the highway. The guns were 'then drawn aside and the cavalry, car bines slung and depending upon the sabre alone, rushed down the highway m a mighty mass, w ynd- ham was strnck in the center and the Confederates passed clear through his lines, wheeled at the call of the bugle, and, dividing to the right and left, they fell upon the two wings with such fury as to rout both. It was sabre work al most entirely, and in that fifteen minutes' fight 150 men were killed or; wounded, Wyndham and six cers captured, ana two nags, thirty-two horses and forty prison- era taxen. AsnDy iea ine cuargw, and men who followed close after him aver that he strnck 'as many as six different men with his sabre. In that fight a Confederate, now living on a farm near Glendale, Va, had -his . right ear sliced off ckee to-his head, 'and the sabre sunk into his shoulder in a way to fbrever disable his arm. The wound in his shonlder was felt at once, but the loss of his ear was not no ticed until the jfight was over. Wvndham sought to excuse his dis aster by talking of the cowardice of . ' . " t nis troopers, oui nis own saure was without a stain, and men who hear no, orders of- command cannot be blamed for falling into a panic. The Confederates .'rode right at solid lines and the shock of meeting knocked down numerous horses and disabled a number of men. CHAEGINO INFANTRY. Half an hour later Fremont's ad vance of infantry was pressing so closely that ' infantry ' had to be sent back to oppose them. Ewell ambushed three or fonr regiments in the woods and fields at a torn of the road, but the advance scented the trap and deployed right and Weft, and advanced to the attack in two lines of tottie, moscoi me iorce being-- composed- of Pennsylvania Bucktails. To reach the Confed erates the blue lines had to cross wide, open fields, and as they left their shelter they received such a fire that all further advance was checked. The 'men were seeking the cover of rocks and ditches, and holding their ground well, when Ashby thundered down upon them with his cavalry. There was no time to form squares, and the charge resulted in a rout. The in fantry were driven back upon the reserve, horses and men; Federal and Confederate intermingled, and again the sabre and bayonet in flicted terrible work. Almost every cavalry horse was wounded, some three or four times, and many of their riders were thrust with the bayonet and pulled out of their saddles. ASIIBY'S DEATH. How strange that so few of the cavalry leaders on either side died as they might have wished to die leading their commands in some glorious charge! Ashby had courted death a hundred, timea as he rode at the head of his men. Here on this lonesome road as night came down he formed another ambush with infantry. The trap was well set, but an its jaws were about to spring a shot fired at random by a Federal struck one who had risked his life a dozen times that day and laid him low. Jackson was Lee's right arm. Ashby was Jackson's right arm. The tribute paid him by the eccentric warrior was not lengthy, but it outweighed the 1 . n n . n.-iis-vn tli A I All M WAV i"A il "I d m . i long sions, tne ouraens oi nowers ana the efforts of rito- : courier rode np to Jackson and an-; nouncedthe sad news ue dropped me reins, uis neau uuiit iu,auu he whispered: uPoor Ashby! I am grieved!" , STUART AFTER POPE. i The cavalier of the South was Stuart. He was born to the sad j die. He looked upon infantry as a ! so-j of necessary evil, and when j ever he attempted to handle them in conjunction with cavalry he was i worsted. Had there been no army ; regulations Stuart's men would j have been dressed more like knights j than dragoons. Rough old fighters smiled at his plumed hat and his aanay ways, out Stuart was a fighter. Had he worn a ruffled shirt and a velvet cloak he would still have been the dashing cavalry leader that he was, counting odds aa nothing and ever fighting to win. When Gen. Pope had his head quarters at Catlett's Station, Stu art one day paid him a visit of in spection. Pope didn't care particu larly to see Stuart, but Stuart had a longing to see the man whose headquarters were in the saddle, and who wanted his men to forget the word retreat. With about 300 men Stuart one day made a hard ride and a sudden dash. But for a Federal forager, mounted on a thoroughbred running horse, Pope would have been taken m his tent As it was, he had about ten min utes' warning and got away, leav ing behind all his papers, clothing and baggage. Stuart captured the station and all left behind, and one of the prizes was a new suit of clothes for Pope which he had not yet stepped into. His supply of liquors included whisky, brandy, cognac, champagne,' port and sev eral other brands, and were used to wash the dust out of the throats of the Confederates. Pope's - razor, looking-glass,- bedding, fine shirts and other articles ot toilet were divided as souvenirs, and a giltw edged Testament with his name in was;- pocketed by Stuart. Orders had been issued to' treat Pope with tenderness and respect in case of capture, but it may be imagined that his ride to Kichmond wonld have been a fast gallop and full of dire reflections. It has been as serted that Gen. Lee reproved Stuart for trying to capture him, saying: "If you catch him tho Federal army will have a new commander, and he must certainly be a better one." "" Stuart died like a hero, but it was not while leading his plnme waving to match Custer's yellow curls his sabre - gleaming . in ans weir to Kil Patrick's. Before his sun had reached its zenith, and be fore the. hero that was in him had been fairly developed, he died in the swirl and smoke and clamor of a cavalry fight shot down by one who knew him not and was never known. ' KILPATKICK'S SKIP. During the exciting army move ments of October, 1863, Gens. Stu art and Fitz Lee laid a plan to annihilate KUpatrick, and the re sult was an affair which "Kill." never heard the last of as long as the army held together. Stuart left Lee at Bull Bun -to demon strate, and taking a single division with him marched to Groveton, from thence to Gainsville, on to Aldie, and here made such a fight against a whole Federal corps that a great alarm was sent out, and the entire Federal army was with drawn from Centerville to a new line under the impression that the Confederate army was trying to its rear. Kil pa trick's command was sent out to discover the force, and he soon discovered that it was Stuart who had created the scare. He there fore began a hot pursuit, just as was expected. As soon as KU patrick took np the pursuit a courier sent to Fitz Lee brought him np from Manassas in rear of the Fed erals. Kilpatrick was chasing Stu art and Lee was chasing Kilpatrick, but Stuart and Lee were the ones who were chuckling over it. Up towards New Baltimore the Federal headquarters rested for dinner "at tho farm-house of Mr Crozier. A fine meal was prepared for the staff, but it was not tasted. The good wife had just announced din ner when the sound ot a single can non shot made everybody pause and wonder. It was a signal from Lee to Stuart that he was up, and Stu art at once faced about. Kilpatrick was not left long in suspense. When aware that he was caught in the trap his only plan was to turn and attack Lee, and this he did in a hurry. The idea was not to whip the Confed erates, but to get away from them. Kilpatrick was outnumbered and trapped, and. his getting out is re corded in war history as "The Buckland Races." As he turned upon Lee there was sharp fighting with sabre and carbine and artil lery. Lee had signaled a little too soon. He was up, but not massed in Kilpatrick's rear, and this gave the Federals a chance to cut their way out, but they went out on the run, ;md never stopped as long as their horses could go forward. It was one of the worst defeats Kil patrick ever suffered, and insult was added to injury by the knowl edge that the plan had been delib erately laid. At Buckland's Stuart was so close upon Kilpatrick that Custer's headquarter wagon and all its con tents were captured, as was also other important baggage, and noth ing but sharp orders and quick fighting saved the command itself from capture. It was what might be called a continuous fight for miles, the Federal brigades being separated at the opening of the fight, and having to draw off each by itself, and by different routes, but all the artillery was brought off, most of the train saved, and the loes in killed and wounded was about equal. Fitz Loo brought up some Infantry with him, and after passing Broad Run and falling back to the neighborhood of Gainesville Kilpatrick was reinforced by in fantry from the Sixth Corps. Davies' brigade was placed in the most imminent peril bv the Je f g , j - d was upon this occasion that Kil- desired to join Davies after Custer was safe, and to do so he had to make a ride of a mile and a quarter directly in front of the Confederate skirmishers. Accompanied by a portion of his staff he made this dash in the face of, at least, a thousand bullets aimed to kill 0.i ' i came out without a scratch ln : who rode with him said that the k'ping" of bullets was so constant that the horses shook their heads and snorted with alarm, as if pur sued bv swarms of bees. M. Quad. STATE NEWS ttleaned from onr Exchanges. Greensboro Patriot: The gen tlemen from this State, designated as esforts of the Confederate dead from Arlington to Raleigh, are Col. J. A.

Wilmington Revietc: Just before going to press we learn that the body of one of the unfortunates who were drowned in the river opposite the city on Monday last has been found. Our good friend, Thomas J. Armstrong, .Esq., of Pender coun ty, who was in the city to day, gives us a grain of comfort in regard to the crops. He says that while cot ton and corn will stop short at one half of a crop, peanuts will make a fair yield. As the cultivation of the "goober" is an item of import ance in some parts of Pender coun ty, this information is encouraging. Martin Times: Just as we go to press a man in search of Dr. Bur banks informs us that a man living near Hamilton was stabbed by his brother-in-law, a boy 17 years old. it seems they were out in the field at work when a controversy arose, and the young man allowing his temper to get the better of him. drove the knife into, his left breast. -Last night, a car containing 14 bales of cotton was burned. It had been brought from Bethel that night and carried down to the river for shipment, but before day, both the car and cotton were one pile of ashes. Roanoke News: Senator Ran som, who has been sick with chills here for some days, is, we are glad to say, well enough to be on the streets again. On the side of one of the stone piers which support the Kauroad bridge a large cabbage is growing. The piers are about fifty feet high and built with ce ment. The cabbage grows from a crevice about twenty feet from the water and is large and well de veloped. It has not headed, be cause, we suppose, it had to turn most of its attention to a foothold. How came it there no one can tell. It must have been blown there; one thing is certain, it is there. Goldsboro Messenger: Mai. W. A. Smith was in the city yesterday to hear the news from the Ohio election. Speaking of elections got the Major in a talking humor, and he gave his friends here many rich anecdotes in regard to his cam paigning experiences in the palmier days of Republicanism in this State.

She is a talented young lady and will make an excellent teacher Wilmington Review: We are sorry to learn that Mr. Crapon, the agea lather oi our townsman, Mr. George M. Crapon, is still very ill at his residence in Smithville and that there has been no improve ment in this condition. None of the bodies of the three unfortun ates who were drowned yesterday in the river opposite the lower part of the city have yet been recovered although search has been kept up unremittingly throughout the day. A correspondent at Teacheys, in Dnplin county, tells us that the good people of that section are awaking to the needs and neces sities of educational benefits in their midst. They have secured the services of Mr. Dougal McMil lan, jr., of Pender county, who is well known as an accomplished scholar, and we are glad to know that his school opens with fine pros pects. Elizabeth City Economist: Tom Skinner was in town on Thursday making arrangements for an active canvass. He is in splendid physical condition for his heavy labor, and he is cheerful and hopeful in spirit. The nomination of T. G. Skin ner seems to give geqeral satisfac tion. We have heard several Re- publicans say that they would sup port him. Their heads are level. Mr. Joseph Salomonsky's little son Jacke met a severe accident last night. Upon arrival of the Norfolk beat he went aboard and fell down the hatchway cutting his neck severely.

Savage Murder at Reidsville. From parties who arrived in the city yesterday on the north train, we learned the particulars of a savage murder com mitted in that town Tuesday evening about dark. The parties to the affair were two colored men and they had been gambling in a house on the out skirts of town. In the course of their game they became involved in a quar rel, when one of them drew a pistol and shot at the other, missing his mark, however. This broke up the game, and the negro tbakas shot at, went off and borrowed a snot' gun paying fifty cents for the loan of it. He loaded it heavily with squirrel shot and then hunted up his partner in the game and was not long in finding him. On finding the man for whom be wai searching, the negro raised his gun and fired, lodging the entire contents of the gun in his op ponent's body, killing him almost in stantly. The slayer was arrested and lodged in jail. Our informant could not get the names of the parties. Jovrncd-Observer. Rev. F. M.

A colored pastor led his congre gation to the diamond field in Hous ton, Texas, where the boys were playing at base ball on Sunday, and there the brethren and sisters knelt in prayer. They occupied all the bases and thus effectually stopped the game. The British Consul at Palermo, in Sicily, in an official report says: "Large quantities of Sicilian wine have of late been exported to France. The red wine of Riposoto has had great favor in the French market since the phylloxera has played such havoc in the vineyards of Bordeaux. The wine thus imported from Sicily at a very low price is turned in,to scarlet by the addition of some French wine and other in gredients, and sold in the markets of Europe as genuine French wine. One of the Sicilian wines, named Corvo, is very much like Sauterne, and obtained the gold medal at Bordeaux in 1882, and its price is about one shilling the bottle in Palermo. It is a lighter wine than Marsala or Zucco, and, mixed with soda water, makes a most pleasing drink, somewhat like champagne." Albany, October 9. Theresa B. King, a colored girl, was refused admission to Public School No. 5, of Brooklyn, and directed to attend Colored School No. 1. She applied for a mandamus to compel Principal Gallagher to admit her to No. 5. Chief Justice Neilson, of the city court of Brooklyn, alter full argu ment, refused the writ. The gen eral term of the city court affirmed that decision. This morning the court of appeals affirmed the lower court's decision. The two principal points argued were: First, that the exclusion was in violation of the 14th amendment to the Consti tution of the United States; second, that it was opposed to tho Civil Rights act of this State, passed in 1873. The defendaut contended that it violated neither, and that equal facilities for the education of the child were afforded in colored schools, and consequently there was no discrimination against her in assigning her to such colored school. This is the question that troubles ! . i ,, .,; .i ,,, . i a trench .Justice of the Peace. A drover and a butcher in the market I adjusting their accounts went to a tavern to dine together.

Fontville, Marion county, Fla., ) October, 1883. ) Mr. Editor: The health of this country has improved since I last wrote, the days are cool and windy, putting on a full aspect. The nights are pleasant, even in mid-summer, much more than they are in North Carolina. We sym pathize with the good people in the Old North State on account of the late storm and short cotton crops. . .The bad weather has passed us' of Florida by, this fall; perhaps we are reserved for future calamities. Tho Orange ccop is said to be short this season owing to the cold snap in the spring. The crop will soon begin to ripen. I think I will ship you one crate just to try the shipping from here. Most of the shippers think oranges unsafe, unless expressed by shortest route. This country is des tined to be almost an orange grove in the near future. There are thousands planted out annually and they seldom ever die. Old settlers here aspire to an orange grove and a bunch of cattle and to live a few years longer and they feel all right. Cotton here is looking up and Bells readily for 20 cents per pound, I mean long staple, I have seen no other, during my stay here. Hope it may rise there soon. Success to your untiring efforts in the completion of the Quaker Bridge road. Tab Heel.. Since writing the above I learn that cotton nas gone up to SO cents.

The sheriff says he then loafed around in the neighborhood of Bell Swamp until Thursday, when he walkedto Frank, Gray's, near Shallotte, on the. George? town road, where he learned that par ties from Bladen county had parsed in pursuit of him. He left before day Fri day morning and walked to Snowfield, got the stolen horse and started to wards this city, successfully flanking all the parties that were looking for him. Sheriff Taylor says he either passed through Wilmington, or went to wards Fayetteville, or in the direction of South Carolina. Swain is the man, say the sheriff, who was tried in Brunswick county in 1875 for the murder of a negro on the C. C. Railroad, near Phoenix, named Cobb, and was acquitted. After wards he was tried in this county for stealing ducks or geese, and sentenced to the penitentiary for three years. Since his term expired his whereabouts has been a mystery until now that his transactions in horse and mule flesh have come to light. Wil. Star. A Colored Herb Doctor Arrcsled. For the past two or three months a colored herb doctor, who gave his name as Dr. Richard Kane, has been peram bulating our streets, equipped with a valise or two, and purporting to work marvelous cures upon those upon whom he was called to try the efficacy of his medicines. A few days ago he admin istered a done of his medicine to one Maria Smith, colored, who was almost immediately afterwards seized with a violent vomiting, and Dr. Potter, the city physician, had to be called in to administer an antidote. He also gave some of the same medicine to one Hen rietta Hairis, colored, who is now said I to be completely prostrated from its i effects. It is also stated that he took a Kod portion of Maria, Smith's furniture in part pay for his medical services, and reiSoved tho articIes to the hou8e he nad rented, on Ninth, between Castle and Queen streets. "Dr. "Kane was arrested yesterday, on a warrant issued byJJ. C. Hill, J. P., aud had a preliminary examination on the charge of violating the pharmaceu tical law. The Justice reserved his de cision in the ease, and in the meantime the "Dr. " is under bond for his appear ance, lie says lie came iiom v.liaries- on. 117. .S7 A Belie or Hip Olden Times. At the store of Mr. Honnett, on Mar : ket street, a few days since, wo were shown a pewter mug or tankard, about ten inches in height, with a cover of the same material, which was dug up at what is known as "Old Brunswick." some fifteen miles below this city. ' which was the site of a town or settle ment before it was decided to build the town of New Liverpool, which was af terwards changed to Wilmington. The tankard is evidently a relic of the old, ' old times, and we could almost imagine. ' as we looked upon it. that it was one of I self-same tankards from which Bold Robin Hood and his merry men quaffed their foaming ale in their loved and treasured haunts in the forests of Old ' England, ever so many years n;o. It was found in an old well, together with i a copper kettle and an earthen jar. The j tankard will hold a.V:ut 'a pint. H'jV. ' Star. Proceedings of the Board of Com- mUsIoners of Jonei Coantf.
