THE REBELS FIRING on EACH OTHER.

correspopdent Of The AHGRta Contsderdcy
writing from Camp Barlow, Pocahontas County,
Va, gives the following account of the recent case
Of the Rebels firing upon each other by mistake;
We had not more than got our position before the
enemy, as we supposed, were within 100 yards oi
us. bnt the road here made such abrupt turn and
the bushes that interviewed were 80 thick, as to al
most hide them from our view. Pretty soon one or
two gums were fired, not far from us, when the
Newman Guards, which commanded tho road, tired
one volley into the approaching mass OF men, when
was quickly returned by them, when their com
mander Immediately gave the order 10 charge upon
us. Instantly our bayonets were fixed ready to re-
ceive their charge. With loud yell that rent the
morning air for miles around, they rushed down
upon us, when the firing commenced further down
the line 70 the left OF our regiment, Dy tnose VINO
had al fret been prevented from hiring IN conse-
quence of the dense forest which lntervensd be-
tween them and the supposed enemy.
About this time the cry " Georgians Georg1ans
Georgians % was heard 20 proceed from the ranks OF
the supposed enemy. We were at first not inclined
TO interpret this cry IL was Intended by those
whence il proceeded fearing lest II might be cheat;
and we were strengthened in this belief, when, above
the surrounding noise, distinctly heard the stem
torian voices Of Gen. Jackson and Col. johnson cry
out It's q cheat they lie pour into them, my brave
boys;" and we were just in the act Of pouring one
calling fire into their midst, when we discovered the
white badges on their hats and knew them 70 be our
own men. Two men-sergeant Field, Of the let, and
a soldier whose name havn't learned, of the 18th
Georgia Regiment, were killed two dangerously
wounded 4. Brown, of the Newman Guards,
and corporal Hogue, Of the Oglethorpe Infantryi
two slightly wounded-W. Il. w. Dent, of the New
man Guards, and private WEIGH, Of the Southern
Guards-al except the second mentioned were Of the
IL, Regiment Georgia Volunteers. This wss a sad
occurrence, but neither party was 10 blame.
