He knew THE CLOTIIES-LIXE TELEGRAPH. 133 which corps was moving, or about to move, in what direc- tion, how long they had been on the march, and in what force; and all this knowledge came through Dabney, and his reports always turned out to be true. Yet Dabney was never absent, and never talked with the scouts, and seemed to be ahva)^s taken up with his duties as cook and groom about headquarters. How he obtained his information remained for some time a puzzle to the Union officers. At length, ...upon much solici- tation, he unfolded his marvellous secret to one of our officers.
