The following extract is from letter written by
a member of the First Company of the Washington
Artillery in Virginia, to gentleman of this Office:
CAMP HolL1Ss, Near Centrevile, Oct. %, 1861.
Dear -: take this opportunity of writing
you few lines to give you an idea OF the use they
have been making of the First and Second Com
panes of our Battalion The Second Company
was stationed on Mason's Hill Our company has
been sent to different points on secret expeditions
such as going thirteen miles within the Yankee
lines, surprising Yankee camp, firing shells at
them, etc. etc. A Yankee officer remarked :
I" D---n me if | can keep the run of the Wash
ington Artillery. To-day hear of them near
Alexandria driving in our pIckets, and tomorrow
they are at Great Fails eight miles above Chain
Bridge, surprising our camps and the next day
they appear at Townsville and drive in our ad
vance force and chase themto within three-quar
ters of & mile of Chain Bridge"
This last we did on the 25th OF last month.
On the l7th we came back here to Centreville,
where we are daily expecting big fight, but
heard that after the Yankees had advanced as far
as old camp at Fairfax, they retired to Falls
Church. | don't understand that.
Yesterday we sent challenge to the Chasseurs
for a friendly game of Les Quartres, which they
cheerfully accepted, saying they hoped to come
out victorious, and that it was only in the noble
game of war that we had found no equals. The
| match was played yesterday afternoon, and the
result was, we found no equal in the ball game.
We made thirty-tour rounds, and they only made
| thirteen. We can amuse ourselves on the battle
| field in more ways than one. We are now max
| ing up match between the First and Third Com
| panies at Base Bail. . .- ..l
1t is reported that the enemy intends to come up
| in three divisions, and think will have d lively
time of it.. In the last battle we only had about
| thirty pieces of artillery. Now we have -
pieces; and Major Walton, being Chief of Artillery
| in the Army of the Potomac, will no doubt give us
some important position. / will give you some
| items after the battle-pro sded I am not fool
| enough to get hit by bail. The Yankee Cavalry
| about twenty thousand strong, are down on the
| Washington Artillery, and say they are going to
capture our battery. l would recommend to them
| to go and ask the Zouaves how they liked that job
| on the 2lst OF july

FROM Sr, MARy's PARIsH.-Ths Franklin Regis
ter, of Thursday, has the following: r5
So far we have not been visited with the slightest
FROST and from present appearance We expect
none for several weeks to come. a
1t is said thai the Lincoln bloekadng fleet has left
our coast for parts unknown. We are glad to hear
IT, and hope that we shall never have the task of
announcing its return. g
A large number of our plantees have commenced
sugar making. We are sorry to learn that the
yield, owing to the very untaVerable weather for
maturing the cane, is not as good as 1t should be
and the quality, too, owing to the same cause is
not the best. But we now have fair prospects for
good weather for the future, and we feel sure that
the yield will greatly improve and the quality also.
We do not yet despair of q very large sugar crop
this season-the largest ever made in the parish
say between ffty and fifty five millions of pounds,
equal to about forty five or fifty thousand hogs
heads of HOO pounds each, which, even at four
cents per pound, will prodnes an aggregate Of
300 O00 leaving the EaolRsses ont Of the count.
The value of the agricultural product of st. Mary,
this season, may be put down, in reand numbers,
at sS,0o0,o00 at the lowest figure.
