We yesterday marched seventeen and Il
half miles, reached the enemy's entrenched
position opposite Connifix Ferry, driving
his advance uutposts and pickets before us.
We found him occupying II strongly en-
trenched position, covered by IL forest too
dense TO admit of its being seen Mt Al dis
lance of three hundred yards. Ills force
was five regiments, besides the one driven
in. He had Probubly sixteen pieces OF ar
tIllery.
At three O'ciork we began strong re-
connuisunce. which proceeded TO such
:. length that we were about To assault the
pasilio1 on the flank and front. when, night
coming on, and our troops being utterly
exhausted, drew them out uf the woods,
and posted them behind the ridges imme-
dia,uly in front of the enemy's position,
where they rested on their arms till morn
ing. Shortly after daylight, runaway
contrnbanl came in and reported that the
enemy had crossed the GtuIey during the
night, by means of the terry and a bridge
which they had completed.
Col. Ewing was ordered to take posses
sion of the camp, which he did ut about
: o'clock, capturing u few prisoners, AMI
stand of culors, Il considerable quantity of
arms, with Quurtermasters stores, messing
and camp cquipage. The enemy haze des-

Well, for our part, we must confess that
is Just about the doctrine. Now is the
time, thal's certnin; and We, not being nf-
iiicuel with conscience so ever refined, or
bowels so compassionate as the Heyafi, do
most emphNtically 20 in for taking advau-
tare of it. Our very dear and much be.
loved brethren of the East would no doubt
he gratified with the willingness Of gentle
men here to let them live under orr State
government. but jnstnow they are over back
of the mountains trying their best to get
over here to break up that government,
which they call n humbug and usurpa-
ton. Aud ifihere were not so many bay
encts and rified cannon between us and
them they would oyerrpn this people whose
interests are so identified with theirs, and
might possibly swing II few of those who
so fondly proposeto take them under the
sbeltering wing of our State government:
1t would be great pity to take advantage
of these poor fellows to be sure, but we
are willing to do it nevertheless, and also
take whateverIof responsibility may attach
toit.

BURIAL ALIvE.-One of the most shocking
cases Of burial Of living psrsOn-ths victim
being young and pretty quasi Widows told
in Paris paper as follows:
Gadsmoiselle Blanched de Beauval, a wealthy
heiress Of Orleans, was about eight months
ago to have been married to the Viscount de
Chamoy, but, as the bridegroom elect was in
delicate health, he was recommended to 20 for
short time to I-aly, and the ceremony was
postponed to October last The Viseount
however, never reached his destination, having
died on his way thither, and the lady, over
whelmed with grief, determined to take the
veil, Her resolution was carried into effect
three days ago, at the CsTmelite Convent in
the Fsubourg du Roule, at Orleans. At the
hour fixed for the ceremony the chapel was
filled with persons who had been invited to be
present, and soon after q door leading from
the interior Of The convent opened, and Made
moiselle de BeaEval, in the prime Of youth
and beauty, entered, leaning on the arm Of
her uncle. She was dressed in a bridal cos
tune Of white satin trimmed with rich lace,
a wreath Of orange blossoms ancircled her
hair, and large white veil was over her head.
She took the seat prepared for her, and the Of
iciating priest delivered a short address She
then quilted the chapel, which is divided into
two parts By an iron railing, closed BY cur
tain. IN moment atter the curtain was vi b.
drawn she was seen on the other side Of .he
grating on her knees. The priest approached
and asked her if she still persisted in her res
oiu.ion to quit the world, to which she replied,
in firm voice, "Yes." On his, one Of the
nuns who were standing by removed the bridal
wreath and veil from her head let her beauti-
ful hair fall on her shoulders, and then With a
pair Of scissors severed the tresses close to her
head. A murmur Of regret was heard among
all the persons present when this sacrifice was
commenced. Mademoiseile de Bsauval then
left the chapel, but reappeared in a few mo-
ments after, dressed in the garb Of Carmeite
nun. She lay down on the steps Of the chapel,
a funeral cloth was thrown over her, the priest
rseited the prayers Tor the dead, and the De
Profundis was sung while the persons in the
chapel were retiring.
