Mosby at Stuart’s Grave. – Several days ago, the Ex-Colonel John S. Mosby, while in Richmond, paid a visit to the grave of the late Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, in Hollywood, and bore away with him a few sprigs of foliage and wild flowers, plucked from the grave, as mementos of the dead cavalier, who sleeps there in peace, his clay awaiting the trump of the last day. The Ex-Colonel seemed much affected, as he is not wont to be, and spent nearly an hour in silent contemplation of the spot.
