There was skirmishing yesterday. Bar

from which the rebels have fallen back
They have been cutting a road to its crest,
intending to plant a battery that will COM

to storm the hill to-day. One piece of artiI-
lery was taken to q hill on the left, in the
rear, and southwest of that Occupisd by the
Ohio l4th, and commanding a view of The
rebel camp and entertainments. The shell
and balls fell near enough to drive them out
OF their entrenehnents into the woods in
their rear, and stirred them up lively. Our

grseted our ears from those delectable re-
sions. Then we had bold and daring boasts
of the havoc the Southern " gentlemen
would create among the worthless horde OF
the Northern army, and sneers OF the hercest
contempt at our pretensions to valor or
strength. One Southern soldier was equal
to Eve Yankees, and at sight Of the hosts Of
Carolinians and Texan rangers who would
take The field, the abolition minions would
scatter like sheep. Now we have a different
story from the larger and more Influential
of th.ir journals. The experiences Of Harp
