HOW HOOKER WAS FOOLED A Rcbel Soltlicr from Maine Mcets Old Schoolmaslcr On OUicr Side. Edltor of Tho Tinios-Dispatch: Slr.?I'liavo seen so much to Intorest me ln the Coh.federata Column in re? gard to tho dlfferent battles of our Into wnr. 1 wns particularly 'Interested In some accounts of the Ch'ancellorsvllle battlo of lStl-l. On the '-'il day of Rlay wo woro ordercd to full ln, hnvlng spent our wlntor near tho Unitr-d States Ford. llearing the long roll bent, wo wero well aware Bomethlng was dolng, or about to be done. And wo woro marched in tho dlrectlon 'of the ford and haltod in. a llne of earthwo'rks j near a road not far from onr camp. i Pretty soon we heard llring in our ', front, nnd then nll of us woro on 1ho lookout for the appearance of an on oniy. Protty soon wo saw a column Rpproaching. We wcrc not sun; wheth? er it was our cavalry or tho cnoiuy. Colonel Tnylor'n Nnrrow ICnciipc. Our ollicors were also uncortuln who thoy were. So Colonel Waltor Tnylor, on General Rlahono's staff, went for? ward to ascertain who they wen... llc had rjearly reached thom, and they ordered hlm to halt and surrender.

At tlie samo time wo wero leavlng a good target In our rear, nntl wo still wondered what it all meant. AVo saw no enomy ln our front at the timo wc started to skirmishing. ., Went Itlght Alietul. But forward wo went up a llttlo rise of hill, and vory soon found a plenty ?to do, as thoy had a strong line of pkirmlshors to oppose us up thut llttle rise. Our orders were to drivo the tneniy back to tholr lino of battle. 'pn tho front of our regiinent was a little farm Inclosed by a cedar brush fence, wlth a few frult troos of per? haps five yours' growth, mostly apples. lt fell to mv lot to occupy tho space ln tho centro of thls llttlo farm.

Tho flrst of tho namo ln th0 colony woro Humphrey nnd Randall ' AVest? wood., who settlod ln York county about 1020. Henlng- speaks of Humph? rey, ns well as Wllliam and Warllck Westwood, and lt ls presumed that Humphrey was th? flrst emlgrant and proganitor of tho famlly In Virglnla. Thoy sootn to havo remalned ln and around Hampton and Ellzabeth Clty county. as we flnd Willlam Westwood, of Hampton, Ilvlng thero up to 1800, about whlch tlme ho dled, leavlng a daughter, Jonnie, and a son, John S. AVostwood. Blshop Meade says that AVarlick (probably a son- of Humphroy) was a vostryman ln tho early church at Hampton, Ellzabeth Clty county, ln 1751, also as was Willlam Westwood, who seems to have been a promoter In church affairs. After this the famlly seoms to have died out, or left tho State, as thero appears no further trnce of thom. From thelr arms, how? ever. lt is to b0 inferred that they were of distlnction ln England, by the signtfleance of tho various blazons, ?whlch aro thus glven: "Arms: sable, a lion rampant! ar gent, crowned wlth a murnl crown, or; three crosses?crosslct, fltchee, or. Crost: a stork's head, ppr., crased, gorged with a mural crown, or." No motto glvon. : Tho loln was usually granted only to those who had served ln the Klng'3 servlce, and thus in bolng also crown od with a "mural crown" (belng ma sonod, and tho top ombattled), proved that some of tho famlly hod fought ln battle. Theso mural crowns wero con? ferred by tho old Romans on the sol? dler who flrst scalod the walls of a rampart or bosleged town. The cross. too, was a mark of attostatlon, and only conferred upon "offlclals." It ls sald, "so superstitlously dld thoso times (AVIlllam I.) think of tho crosso, that thoy held all things sanctlfi^d that bore tho slgno of lt; and therefore used lt rellglously ln their charters;" and thls was the origln of persons ?who could not wrlte thelr names, to make tho slgn of a cross instead. The cross as glven hero ls called a cross-^? crosslot, or one havlng Its limbs also crossed, which slgnlfles that they are to extend to the extremltles of the Eschutcheon. When tho cross ls polnted at tho base. it is called "fitche," or fixed. Crosses of thls description aro sald to have been carrled by the early Chrlstians in thelr pllgrlmages, so that they mlght be readlly flxed ln the ground whllst performing their devo tlons. Tho stork ln the crest' ls emblematlc jf plety and gratltude, and wero held ln great venoratlon by many of tho early Kings, and -were prohlblted by law from belng dlsturbod; hence, tlio storks would bulld their nests on tho tops of castlos and othor hlgh bulld? lngs, where thoy wore always wel comed nnd encouraged. Tho ono ln tlie Westwood arms ls ''gorged," or have around Rs neck also a "mural" crown, and thus tho wholo Eseutchoon would read: That the early members of tho AVestwood famlly were knights In tho Klng's _servlce, ono of whom had been flrst ln tho capture of a -?astld or walled town?that somo of them had beon pllgrims tn the Holy Land or ln the wars of the Crusades?and thnt they llvcd ln castles, over whlch flow the sacred stork.

Bates. ln answer to sevoral querles ns to the Bates famlly, will present brlofly; The earllest names found ln Colonial records are Davld, Thomas Fleming and Joseph, tho latter recorded as bo? lng ln a regiment from Augusta coun? ty, 1763. The-Bateses settled ln Gooch? land, 1744, ancl we flnd John Bates ln the church vestry of Hallfax county, 1752. ? Thomas Fleming Bates was In Henrlco county from 1752 to 1775. The family were also largely settled ln Spotsylvania, where Humphrey Bates, 1790, and James Bates, with Mary, his wife (who was a Mlss Mitcham), 1784, -wero llvlng, but ln 1799 they movod to Fauqulor county. Many of tho Bates famlly belonged to tho Soclety of Frlends (or Quakers), and lni thelr churoh records of Gooch? land county is recorded the marriage of Hannuh Bates, daughter of Susanna Bates, wldow of - Batos, who af? terwards marrled Stophon'Woodson, by whom a daughter, Ellzabeth Woodson. Ilannah Bates marrled Robert EaBley Decomber 22, 1744, tho ceremony belng wltnessed by Charles and James Bates. Tho prlnclpal point ln the Bates famlly desired ls tho namo of the Eates who mnrrled Ellza Bell, and had a daughter, Judith Cary Bates, who marrled John Frlend. Thls Ellza Bell was tho fourth chlld of Davld Boll, of Scotland who marrled Judith Cary, sister of Colonel Archlbald Cary, of Ampthlll, A'a. They sottled near Lynchburg, Va. Now, tho Bells were nlso Quakers, ond Captain Davld Bell wo find as llvlng in Northumberland, 1781, who must have beon tho same as the David, of Scotland. Wo, however, fall to placo tho marriage of thls Captain Davld Bell wlth any of tho Cary famlly, but do flnd Fleming Bates, whlch provos that tho famlly had early connectlon wlth tha Flem lngs. We consider thls Fleming Batos, son of the flrst Thomas Fleming Bntes, to have beon the one who marrlod Ellza Boll. Davld Bell at ono tlmo was a morchant of Henrlco county; ln 17-14 ho bought lots ln tho town of Fred? erlckshurg, Va., and sold the snme in 1746 to Charles Colson, an Inn keeper of Frederlckshurg.

Not much further can be glven at pros ent. Si-llni. The followlng ls the true version of tho capture of Selin, the Algerlne, aa sent us by tho Rev.
