fight. One Of our sharpshOoters shot q
rebel picket through the lungs, yesterday
morning, on the Yorktown road. The rebel
attempted to surprise the sharpshOoter, who
discovered him crawling along the ground
toward nis rihe-pit. One Of our smbulan-
ces Was sent for and theFebel soldier borne
to the hospital. The surgeon, on ezsmin-
ing his arm, pronoun6ed it mortal.
The dying rebel, on being informed that
/ he could not live, vas requested to give
4 his name. This he persistently refused to
do. and on being asked the number Of troops
at Yorktown, he replied; "We have one
hundred and twenty thousand men, and
