Dear CHronic,e The last has been Il
week of stirring events Ia Ills. On Mon
day We were aroused early in the morn

BY 8 o'clock our old camp was broken NJ.

two regiments To go and guard the pom
toon bridge across Stone River. ON the
Lebanon road, and the 10Th TO go on out
post of course all thoughts of marching
were at an end, and we quietly pitched
our tents on the same ground.
The commissions of Major Henderson.
and Capt. Stratton, were received the
other day. Henderson is now Lieuten-
ant Colonel, and Stratton Major. Notice
of Beatty's confirmation as Brigadier, was
received day before yesterday, and Col
onel Manderson and Major Stratton will
take another step.on the ladder! Capt.
Allen, of. F, will most likely be Major.
Quite AN interesting little affair came
off yesterday afternoon at dress parade
of the 10Th. Capt. James u, Nash, in
behalf of the officers of the Regiment,
presented Col. Henderson with a brace of
of -superbly mounted ~revolvers and a
magnificent field glass, accompanying
speech. Col. Henderson, who though
never more completely surprised. did not
entirely lose his self-possession, and re-
piled in brief but most energetic and
powerful manner, perfectly characteristic

SPY IN CAMP.
The other evening, information was
brought by a negro servant of the 18th,
that a man, formerly a citizen of Muir
f~reesboro, but nov ia the Confederate
army, was seen at the house of his moth
er in this place, and that he was making
preparations to leave that night. Ac-
cordingly the Provost Guard of the Brig
ade was called out, and under direction
of the negro proceeded to the house
which was carefully surrounded, and the
gentleman captured without resistance.
He was greatly astonished, and could not
give a very satisfactory account of him
self; he was committed to Jail, and will,
most likely, meet the fate common TO
those of his creed. This is not the first
case of information given by slaves lead
ing TO the capture of spies in our camp,
but it is the fourth case to my certain
knowledge, and that within a fey weeks.
Changed our camp yesterday for ii
more pleasant location.
