Tag A member OF the Indiana 20th Regi-
ment now encamped near Fortress Monroe
writes to the indianapolis Journal on the 23d;
Yesterday morning, Gen. Mansfield, with
Drake de Kay, Abide Camp, in command Of
seven companies of the TWentieth New York
German Rifles, left Newport News On recon-
uoisance. Just after passing Newmarket
Bridge, seven miles from camp, they detached
one company as an advance, and soon after
their advance was attacked by six hundred OF
the enemies cavalry.
The company formed to receive cavalry, but
the cavalry advancing deployed to the right
and left when within musket range, and un-
masked body of seven hunred negro infantry,
all armed with muskets, who opened fire on
our men, wounding two lieutenants and two
privates, and rushing forward surrounded the
company of Germans who cut their way
through, killing six Of the negroes and wound
ing several more The main body, hearing the
firing. advanced at a double-quick in time to
recover their wounded aud drive the enemy
back but did not succeed in taking any prison
ers. The wounded men testify positively that
they were shot by negroes. and that not less
than seven hundred were present armed with
muskets
This is, indeed new feature in the war.
We have heard of a regiment of negroes at
Manassas. and another at Memphis, and still
another at New Orleans, but did not believe
it till it came so near home and attacked our
men. Three is no mistake about it. The goth
German we're actually attacked and fired on
aud wounded by negroes.
1t is time that this thing was understood
and if they fight US with negroes, why should
not We fight them with negroes too! We have
dsbelieved these reports too long, and now let
US fight the devil with fire. The feeling is in
tense among the men. They want to know il
they came here to fight negroes, and il they
did they want TO know it. The wounded men
swear they viii kill any negro they see, so ex-
cited are they at the dastardly act. II re-
mains to be seen how long the Government
will now hesitate, when they learn these facts

REG1NEyTAL RIvNRY-It is related that
rivalry exists between two regiments en-
camped on the Potomac, which is sometimes
carried to the most absurd extremes. As an
instance of this, it is stated that on one occaS-
sion the Colonel of one of the regiments was
waited on by Jealous chaplain who wished
to promote the religious interests of the regi-
ment. The chaplain was politely received and
beckoned to q seat on o chest.
" Colonel" said he elevating his eyebrows,
i" you have one of the finest regiments in the
army"
'' think so, replied the Colonel
Do you think you pay sufficient attention
to the religious instructions of your men ?'
4" Well, don't know" replied the Colo
mel,
" A lively interest has been awakened in the
regiment ! the Lord has blessed the la
bors Of his servants, aud ten men have been
baptized This was the rival regimen.
. Is that SO. pom honor ?" asked the Co
lonel ......-
q Yes, sir.''
Sergeant" said the Colonel to an attend
ing Orderly, " have fifteen men detailed i'm
mediately to be oaptised. I'll be damned if
they shall get ahead of US any way"
The chaplain made note of the interview,
and retired

A PosER.-Take for granted that the rail
road train is going at the speed with which
cannon bali fired from cannon would Then
suppose the cannon on the train, and fire from
the car in opposite direction to that in which
the train is moving, where would the ball
fall.

MAKING 4 NEEDLE Needles are made Of
steel wire The wires is first cut by shears,
from coiles into the length of the needles to
be made After batch of such bits of wire
have been cut of, they are placed in hot
furnace, then taken out and rolled backward
and forward on a table until they are straight.
They are now to be ground. The needle
pointer takes up two dozen or so of the wires
and rolls them between his thumb and fin
gers, with their ends on the grindstone, first
one and then the other. Next is a machine
which fattens and cutters the heads of ten
thousand needles in an honr. Next comes the
punching of the eyes, done by boy so fast
that the eye can hardly keep pace with him.
The splitting follows which is running fine
wire through dozen perhaps, of these twin
needles A woman, with little anvil before
her, files between the heads, and separates
them. They are now complet needles, but
they are rough aud rusty, and easily bend.-

On the Gath u1timo occurred one of those
terrible storms, which, thank God, are but
seldom known even in this longitude A. s.
P. By1am's train of twenty-four wagons was
caught in the midst of one Of those scourge5
OF the plains about eight miles west OF Iif1i III
Springs, at three O'Clock p. N. It lasted
twenty eight minutes. Thirteen Of the wagg-
ons had time TO get coFraled before Ii struek

though laden with iron and other heavy
freight Much Of the freight, such as dry
goods, books, &c, was very much injured.

Last evening Rev. Highland Garnett, the

in this city 8nd elsewhere, against the co1or5d

Of advice. Their wives End children, he said,
