been occupied in common by two bro

other had none. On this spot was
sowen a field of wheat. On the evening
succeeding harvest, the wheat having
been gathered in separate shocks, the
older brother said to his wife: My
younger brother is unable to bear the
burden and heat Of the day. will
arise, and take my shocks, and place
them with his, without his knowledge" "
the younger, brother being actuated by
tho same benevolent motives, said with
in himself: My elder brother has a
family, and have none; 1 will arise,
take of my shocks, and place with his
without his knowledge" Judge their
astonishment, when on the following
morning they found their respective
shocks undiminished. This course of
events transpired several nights, wher
each other resolved to stand guard nnG

articles sent them, but it is doubtful
whether we can depend upon their
good faith. II is difficult to believe
that the Ihalf starved and ill-clothed
population of Richmond will permit ad-
equato quantities of -four, meat and
clothes to be given to our men. The
Baltimore American notices that appli-
cation has been made to the War De-
partment, to permit the shiPm of
four hundred barrels of -four to Rich
mond, for the prisoners. Flour sells
for one hundred dollars per barrel in
Richmond, and there is reason to fear
that if the article should be forwarded,
the result will be to relieve the rebels,
rather than our own suffering soldiers.

Cling bodies of cavalry.
A reconn oissanc on the right, as far

nothing except the dead rebels killed
by Fitzpatrick. Clark and Thoroughfare

stations, and works at the Rapidan
fords have been enlarged and strength
