A few days ago it was announced in some OF
the papers, as startling fact, that it had been
discovered that Ex-President Buchanan had
been holding reasonable correspondence With
Jefferson Davis. The announcement was
based on the fact that certain letters had been
found by the Federal troops among he private
papers Of General Davis at jackson, Miss.
It appears that private letter from WI.
buchanan was discovered among the number
seized. but that it was written over thirteen
years ago, and is Of no manner OF account or
interest.
We had first class sensational yesterday in
the shape Of report that an attempt had
been made TO blow up the Croton AQueduct
and thus deprive New York Of water Upon
investigation, however, the story was spoiled,
the only foundation for it being the fact that q
suspicious character had been arrested near
the building with can Of powder in his pos.

A yigilant Omcer.

az amusing incident occurred one night pre-
vious to the late battles ut Fredericksburg, illus
trative of the pertinacity Of one of our German
Colonies commanding brigade The Colonel
had been ordered to place his command in the
woods near Kelly's Ford, taking o position
screened from the view Of the enemy, and get
within striking distance Of the ford, The pos
ition was carefully selected, and the several
regiments of the brigade skilfully posted; the
train was parked half mile to the rear of the
main body. Between the train and lead anarters
of the brigade was house occupied by family
of ''poor whites, whose sire wasa discharged
soldier from the Rebel army. About 10 o clock
in the night, there commenced barking and
bowling of dogs participated in by all the regi-
mental and train dogs in the command. The
Colonel who had not yet retired, called an 'Aid"
and dispatched him to the Quartermaster to in
quire concerning the much barking. The report
came back that 'tthree little dogs" at the house
were the cause of the disturbance. The "Aid'
was directed TO proceed at once to the "quiet
abode Of the noisy dogs and put an end to their
barking,
The discharged soldier was ordered to catch
and pen his dogs; he replied that he ''could not
keep them from barking, he had tried to catch
them and couldn't do it." After a seemingly
very great effort he succeeded in driving the
''whiffets' under the house, aud, for season,
all was "quiet along the lines" At lii o'clock,
however, the bark grew louder and stronger

that the man "couldn't catch his dogs ''Den

No further orders were required. In an in

night air, and pair of legs moving rapidly over
the ground and around the house gave evidence
that Secesh fully comprehended the order In
less than ten minutes the three dogs and their
frightened masters were shut up in the house, the
camp was quiet and the Colonel returned to his
