--On the recent scouting expedition to Massaponox Church,
Gen. Stuart rode up to a mill around which the enemy had just been encamped, to see what information he could obtain.
The old miller looked at him closely and said, ‘"Seems like I's seen you afore,"’ ‘ "Yes,"’ said the
General, ‘"I was here, you recollect, on a scout a few days ago. My name is
Stuart"’ The old fellow seemed much pleased.
‘"General, "’ said he, ‘"they were all around here last night and this morning.
They said you had been a bothering them a long time with your cavalry, but that now they were going to get in
your rear and cut you off, and the first thing they knowed you dropped right in behind
them. He ! ha!
ha!. Give it to General."’
