What role did Confederate Lieutenant Colonel John Mosby play in the Southern war effort?

Under Confederate General Robert E. Lee, was the famous raider Lieutenant Colonel John Mosby. Although Lee did not rely allot on raiding and guerrilla warfare, at times raiders under John Mosby enabled Lee to raise havoc on supply and communication lines of the Union in Virginia. His exploits were chronicled in Southern Newspapers. One unusual "stunt" of John Mosby was the capture of Union General E.G. Stoughton as he lay sleeping at his Virginia headquarters. Mosby under the cover of night led 29 of his troops into the Fairfax County Courthouse and captured the general as he slept. The booty also included 32 prisoners, 58 horses plus arms and equipment. Mosby was known as the Gray Ghost. Reportedly Mosby awakened the sleeping general and asked him if he knew of the raider John Mosby. The half asleep general inquired if Mosby had been captured, and of course the punchline to the story was Mosby's reply of "He has caught you".
