\ young friend of ours, a real live Yam
kee, who was and is determined TO take
the earliest opportunity and first chance
for speculation, has just returned from a
three days ram5le, during which time
he has travelled a circuit of over one
hundred miles through the State, openly
proclaiming himselfa 4 Yankee and Union

in which he has been eminently success
full, and found all the old farmers, almost
without . single exception. strongly in
favor of the Union, and praying for an
early restoration OF peace.
One little significant circumstance is
reported to have occurred the other day,
which is worth mentioning. One Of our
videttes," while scouting through the
woods u trfie III advance OF our lines, sud-
denly rode smack into picket OF the
enemy. 1t was composed OF twelve men,
who were all sitting round fire, eating
their dinner They halted him, and
asked him if he knew no better than to
ride inside of an encmy's lines in that
manner. He apologized for the intrusion,
and said that had he been aware of their
being posted there, he would have held
himself at a respectful distance. They
then said to him, Well, you had better
mount your nag and ride to your own
lines; we don't want to shoot you've re
