thercquiyocaly;
I am sitting in the woods just back of our camp,
which j. situated about two niles from Ball kun-iic
scene Of fierce conflict yesterdeyon the spot W. ere
some Of our courageous pckets had spirited skirU isl
with some fanced foes last hight. II there had been
any real enemies they would have made bloody work
as the trunks of OF the tales trees can abundant
iy testify for near their tOps they terribly rakel
hy murk,t balls aud many Ot the uppffmos OfaLshe5
are seriously mutillted in the saUe manner
The same writer tells some dtagreeable, but amusing
facts, about plundering;
We remained in camp here until the next morning,
and must confess that the boys committed some very
uniustidAble depredations. Poultry, pigs butter,
cheese everything eaiable was IA wesay, suatched
and APPROPRIATED There were some ludicrous adven-
tures that iQht. One rarity borrowed lot oil geese
from farmer and then had the mpudence to ask him
| for seasoning for their stew. Another party
| went ito u lawyers Office and borrowed great
share Of tis library. Even your servant with several
| others well known in your city, started OF on a
scouting expedition. We went two or three miles ont
one direction and another, taking various small
| relics, but no valuable pluuder, until we were
| returning to camp, when we levied on beehive
| well laden with its precious burden, and. uniortu-
| uately for us, well defended by It's numerous In
halitants. These growing rather Troublesome, we

them out by firing OF the straw, and placlng the

by commissioned oicer ant ordered us to leave our

do this although be assured us that tie only alter
