A SKATING lNCBENT.-Some years ago,
when Boston harbor was a good deal frozen
and refresbment booths were numerous on
South Boston bay, for the accommodation of
skaters, the surface Of the ice was occasion
ally perforated by fishermen in pursuit of seals.
Such holes being "szimmed overs with ice,
were rather dangerous to the incau'ious and
unsuspecting. One of these eei-hoies hap
pened one day 70 be Just behind a tent on the
ice-in which something was sold to prevent
cold weather from " striking inwardiy "-and
an adventurous skater who was cutting grace
ful curves, happened to disappear through this
" fine opening for young man" a waggish
fellow who observed the incident, skated into
the tent and addressed the proprietor with
" Look-a- here, don't wish to interfere with
your business all but have Just now seen a
man 20 dsWn into your cellar!"

The Yermlionvilie Lafayette parish) Echo,
of The 21st, says:
We learn from Mr. S. Chsrgojs, who return
ed home a few days ago from Lake Charles,
Calcasieu, that one day last week as two SOL
diers belonging to a Texas company were
crossing a small stream near the L3csssine,
one of them was swept away by the current,

lsnt style, and especial credit is due to the
several captains in charge Of the companies,
viz: Capt. Claiborne, Capt. Neely, and Capt.
Haywood, for the gallant an. manly part they
bore in the action. They received the fire and
then the charge was ordered and obeyed, aHd
five Yankee rascals paid the forfei. Of their
lives for their temerity. / have had the good
fortune to speak personally with three Of our
men who did bag 4 Hessian, and many others
who testify as eye witnesses to the killing.
The youngest man in the battalion, Mr..
Charles Claiborne, Of the Hin cavalry, was the
first man to Kill a Yankee in Kentucky bis
gallant conduct on the occasion was openly
complimented by bis superior officer in com
mand. Mr.. John Coviagton, also Of the same
company, who got his horse shot, killed the
Yankee that shot bin, and Mr.. Buck COcllrill,
also Of the same company, killed the Yankee
who shot deliberately at him and missed him.
Mr.. Durst. and Mr.. GiIchrist, of Capt Neely's
company, also killed their man. Mr.. Mike
McGratb, of Haywood's company, also killed
a Yankee. The Yankees, ever true to thelr
Manassas characteristic, ran with Mcdowell
speed. Ga our near approach to the mill at
the mouth Of the creek, two regiments, sup
ported by artillery, were discovered; the order
was given to form into line,' and the retreat
was made slowly and IN perfect order, without
the loss of a single man, and only two horses
killed.
Information has been received in camp, since
toe engagement, from the enemy's quarters, in
all respects verifying the above facts, with
this additional fact that there were five killed,
and one missing. The boys speak Of the fight
and OF killing Yankees as they would Of kill
ing snakes, and say that the whistlIng Of bul-
lets near their heads only excited them to re-
newed action. Take it altogether, it was q
days sport that will be remembered to their
SORROW by LiBcolh's troops on Mayfeld creek.
The health of the troops is very good, and
their spirits bouyant, should judge from the
music and gayety in the camp from which
now write. shall write al points of interest
arise. We all look TO the coming Of the AP-
PEAL everyday with pleasure. as it is now
time for bed, must bid you very good night.

A Coon REPLY.-The editor of the Lynch
burg Republican,, who g with Gen. Floyd's
forces in Western Virginia, tells the following
story:
a Flew days after the fight at Skerry, near
Charleston, Kanswha, two or three Yankee
officers visited tls house OF Mr.. Fry, who had
5esn driven from bis home by the enemy. A
daughter Of Mr.. Fry saw them approaching
through the gate, and confronted hem in the
porch with demand to know their business.
They stated they were looking for secession
flags, and heard there were some there.
Her reply deserves to be hung mp az an
"spple of gold in picture Of silver" "Brave
men," said she in scorn, stake flags or the
field Of battle-c0Wards only hunt them at the
houses Of defenseless women. Mine is in the
hands Of our brave volunteers; go and take it
from them.n The rebuke was crushing.
"Tom," said The one to the other. ave had bet
ter leave here" and off they went, with the
bushes Of shame mantling their cheeks, if, iu-
deed, they were not dead to the feelings which
occasion them.

SIR: Your letter Of the % inst. is Just re-
eeived. accept my thanks for the kindly and
patriotic spirit which it evinces. ! an fully
impressed with the difficulties of which you
speak. We have until to-day been unable
to procure bank note paper, and in order to
get the best work we sent as far as your city
to have it done. The unfortunate counterfeits
referred 70 In the slip which you enclosed were
caused by the carelessness Of the New Orleans
engTaver. He Temtted the sheets by express
in paper covers, which chsfed through, and
one Of the express agents stole from IL some Of
the sheets, which be signed with fictitious
names and put in circulation. Ibave succeed
ed in srrssting al the parties engaged, and
they are no in Jail here awaiting trial !
have also, hope, all the stolen Impressions,
with the couuterfeits They are all fves and
tens. None OF the fves are yet in circulation,
and if, upon careful counting, fad that all
the Impressions are not recovered, | will sup
press the issue, SO that the banks need be under
no apprehension. In the course Of this wsek
hope to put out a plate with two c0lors, and
hope soon 10 have better issue. In the mean
time, the necessities Of the country require
that you should submit to the present difficult
ties. Be pleased to make known these partic-
ulars to the other banks.
With BHch Tegpec,
Your obedient servant,
