your lives. The enemy Of our country

keep peace with her ncighbors. Our

seek to conquer her. No true son of Ken.

his State and country. The invaders
must, and God willing, shall be expelled

General Robert w. Hanson, Confederate
Commander on Green River
DARNsTowy, Sept 81.
Yesterday an unauthorized scouting
party from the 34th N. Y. Regim't went
across the Potomac near the mouth of
the Seneca, and were attacked by supe-
rior party of the enemy. One of our
men was killed outright and several Sc
verely wounded. One of the latter was
shot through the check and fed, pursued
by the attacking party. On reaching a
creek he threw in his gun and plunged in
himself Laying his back and resting his
head upon stone, with his nostrils above
water he evaded his pursucrs and, after
three hours submersion, crawled to the
shore of the river. His companions, who
were concealed on the Maryland side. dis
coeered and rescued him while making a
vain attempt to swim across. These in
cursions, which can be productive OF no
good to our cause, are condemned by ex-
perienced officers.
The I'd II. L. battery, stationed n ear the
mouth of the Seneca, sheled yostcr day an
encampment of the Confederatcs nearly
opposite, and it is believed several were
killed. The enemy did not respond -
probably for the want of artillery.
This morning at daylight it was discov.
cred by Gen. Stones pickets, that the en-.
envy, during the previous night, had par
tally constructed an entrenchment on the
Virginia side, about 500 feet from the
slope fronting the river. One of our tight
batteries opened upon it about n ne o'clock
and, after twenty or thirty rounds, nothing
was to be seen of the enemy, and but lit
tie of the result of their labors for some
days past.
