The Dutchman,s Adventure.

at was q bitter cold claek n'gns IN
December. that a Dutch travellers stop
ped at rather shabby looking inn,
among the Alleghanies. and asked
for nights lodging. The host.
whose every appearance We'd that of
tho house. offered to take the bundle
which he carried. and invited him to
.ns fin, that blazed cheerfully upon
the broad stone hearth, but mynheer
with glance at tho rough looking
.ad;viduals, who wore seated around
It, and a tight grasp upon the bundle,
shook his head, and the landlord
>onducted him into an adjoining room.
iust largo enough to contain . bed,
and leave a small space to move
around it.
When he was left alone, he care
fully examined the room and the bed'
and with a slight nudge of the head,
:,ok the bundle. which was done up
very small in a handkerchief, and
placed it together with pistol be-
Meath one Of the pillows. After doing
this. hs proceeded to divest himself
Of his clothes. during which opera
ton he walked several times to the
door. and back again. With an air
Of apparent satisfaction he at last
blowed out the light, and got into
bed. where drawing the clothes close
~ over him. was soon asleep.
The wind whistled through each
chink and crevice Of the crazy old
weather-boarding that enclosed the
Dutchman in his slumbers. as the
door softly opened and the form Of a
nan crept slowly into the room. All
else was still about the house The
host with his three rough customers
had retired, and the old clock in the
bar-room just struck the hour of mid
night The storm without had now
increased till it fairly nowlcd through
each opening, and the form of the
man had approached to the foot of
the bed when bang went a noise up
on the roof, and shook the old frame
as if blow had fallen at it's founda-
ton. and mynheer started from his
sleep, with both eyes staring around.
"Vat ish dat, Mine Got! to rob-
bers," ke exclaimed; and drawing
the pistol from under his pillow, with
the cry of "robbers! robbers!" he
fred, and with terrible leap sprang
from his bed against the wall and
fell heavily upon the floor.
By this time the house had become
alarmed at his cries, and his host with
the three men came running with
q light into the room. "NVhat is all
this noise about!' exclaimed the land
lord. as they endeavored to assist
uynheer to his feet; but recovering,
he tore himself from them, and with
cry of "mine Got! te tam robbers
he steals I'll Use got and likes to
kits me-" he started back with both
eyes glaring opon them.
It was some moments ere he was
aroused, fully, from his fears. He
had been dreaming and bcheld the
form Of a man enter his room and
came to the foo: of the bed, Just as
the heavy stroke upon the root
caused by a limb from an old tree
close by falling upon it, aroused him
to q kind Of somnambolic state, in

with q weight of about $50. He ii
quite as remarkable for his moral AZ
he has proved himself to be for his
fighting qualities-being a perfectly
conscientious man, just in all his
ways, and irreproachable in hits deal
ings with his fellow men. 1t is said
he is fatalist. as Napoleon was, and
has no fear that he can be killed be.
fore his time comes. He is as calm
in the midst of . hurricane Of bullets
as he was in the pew of his church
at Lexington, when hAwas PROBES
sor of the Institute. He appears to
be a man Of almost suPerhuman en-.
darance. Neither heat nor cold
makes the slightest impression upon
him. He cares nothing for COED
quarters and daily fare. Wrapped
in his blanket he throws himself
down on the ground anywhere and
sleeps as soundly as though he were
in = palace. He lives as the sol
diers live. and endures all the fatigue
and all the suffering that they en-
dure. His vigilance is something
marvellous. He never seems to sleep
and lists nothing pass without his
personal scrutiny. He can neither
be caught mapping nor be whipped
when he is wide awake The rapid
ity of his marching is something
portentous. He is heard Of by the
enemy at one point. and before they
can make up their minds to follow
him he is off at another. His men
have all little language, and he moves
as nearly as he can without encum'
berance. He keeps so constantly
in motion that he never has sick
list. and no need OF hospitalists. In
these habits end will as determined
as that Of Julius Caesar, are read the
secret of his great success.
His men adore him, because he re.
quires them to do nothing which be
does not do himself, because he con
stantly leads them to victory, anc
because they see he is great sol
der.
THE LlNEs-Tho weather yester
day morning being unusually beauti
full and inviting, it was universally
believed that military operations o
some kind would take place along oul
lines land the loud reports ofordnanct
heard near the centre Of our position
early in the day, seemed to corrobor
ate the general rulnor. Upon enqui
nv, however. we learned that an artil
lery company had simply been anus
ing itself by Smelling the enemy on
of the woods and irving their range
More than this nothing occurred, an,
all subsidized again into ;hs lazy sun
shine and monotony of usual daily
routine and the uninviting common
places of camp life.
Whatever may be the expectation
and preparations Of the foe. they may
rest assured our noble army is no
idle, and whenever an onset begin
again, they will find that our men ant
Generals are really in earnest, and i
possible, unusually so. All are anS
ious for resumption of active opera
tons, for the troops feel confident o
victory, and are DESTROYS ofbeing le'
forward to fresh triumphs. This sen
timent is universal in all branches O
the service, and doubtless fully know
to those commanding.
Facility of egress or iugress to Oh

Reinforced aud were again received with she'll
and grape, causing great chasms in their ranks.
A third time they bore down most determined.

severely contested of the whole, but when the
bayeAet was brought to bear he fell back, and
was pressed toward Richmond fully mile be

time, General Porter fell back TO bis first po-
siton, when an order was received from Geu
Mcclellan to continue his retrogade movement
slowly aud in order The enemy again push
ed forward boldly, when their advance was
checked by the entire reserve force. This
fresh force held the enemy in check, while the
force which had previously borne tie bIunt of
the battle moved back in good order, carrying
with them their wounded aud dead The tne-
my made fierce attack on the reserve but
cannon were posted at various points Of the
route 10y which they were retiring toward the
Chckahominy, which occasionally roured III
shot and shell upon them, and checked their
movements, and enabled the troops 10 move
back in order. At one time i'll this retrogade
movement the reserve force OF Gen. Sykes
charged on the enemy with the bayouet aud
drove him back nearly mile. This is about
the substance of the fighting, which closed on
Friday night. Our loss is estimated at 200.
The loss in officer, is heavy. There are many
wild rumors aiioat, but We place little reliance
upon them. A letter writer whD ought to be
well Informed not only OF results but Of plan,
comes to the following gratifying conclusions
That the object OF Gen. Mcclellan, long be
fore the battle on Friday, was to ABANDON the
White House and also draw in his right wing
across the Chickahomiuy. That he has
cOmpshed this most mastery movement with
bat lttle loss in comparison with bis punish
ment Of the enemy there can be no doubt, aud
that he has strengthened his position by con
tracing his lines, and changing the base Of his
operations TO the James River. is cqnaiIy self
evident. There he will have the co operation
Of the gnnb0atS, aud if the enemy attempts to
interrupt his supply-yes,eis 10y making Il dash
on the j James River, they will meet with prompt
punishment from the &unbo ITS, and 50 weaken
their forces in front that the city will fall iuto
