Colonel John Singleton Mosby of the Confederate Army and Commanding Officer of the 43rd Battalion, 1st Virginia Cavalry or “Mosby’s Rangers”.
Mosby apparently said of this photograph, that it was his favourite according to http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=3080&PIpi=18908470
But I cannot confirm this.

A Confederate Army Staff Officers Sword manufactured by Boyle & Gamble of Richmond, Virginia.
Included too is that crimson sash worn by the officer.
The guard of the sword bears the C.S. marking the sword as that of a Field or Staff officer and the star represents the Confederacy. The laurel symbolizes the bravery of the Confederate soldier and the corn is there to represent the agricultural base of the Confederacy.
