An Incident or,hc Battle of Fredericks-

DuTS.
The Lexington (vu) Garene gives the follow
ing extract from u letter written by an officer to
n citizen Of that tow 1t relate, an amusing in
cident, which the Officer says, g unlike most good
things of the kind, is true :"
IN Monday succeeding the battle of Frcde.

Sn,n The men Of both parties began to lay down
- arms and walk cut into the natural ground
ho.w.en and talk and swap newspapers, tobacco,
- &c. Then the lines grew more confused
md mi.cd, till Mt last there was no separation
h.tw.eu the advanced lines Of both parties.
Abou, this time, one OF our fellows, IL rough,
r;i1 lacking specimen, with his toes out of his
shoes, his bushy hair pr"t'udihg if"ih The 'oplcss
,rowp of his hat, ragged pants and no coat, with
F. Jingy chocolate tint pervading his whole per-
-, W.s rambling around generally, with roth
;nr 70 ciye. but ready to accept anything, from II
40" to an overcont. Presently he espied
. bran new Belgian muskot lying abandoned on
he Ground. This was precisely Gho thing our
confederate Adohis wanted to complete his equip
mont and costume so be picks it up and starts
ng for his lines. Just then he is Spied by a Yam
l.nN Major Oh " ia wv
highest style Of military tailoring, with new coat
j and trapping4, and, nbovo all, a superb pair Of
patent leather top boots. He rides up quickly and
cculls out rather sharply:
"put down that muskot, sir! You can't have
that"
IF ;ncredulity, ind making no reply, pur.ncs tho
even tonor of his way. Fretted that his appear
snco and authority should not have produced moro
fleet upon such q looking fellow, tho Yunkeo rides
up close to him ard calls out very CURLY and
sternly-
in our lines and carry of guns under q flag of
truce? Put it down, sir, and go back to your
regiment"
,r os if TO be satisfied that he is in earnest, and
shaking his head at him. but without even slack
ening his pace, or weakening his hold Of the
nluskct, coolly replies
Never mind, sir!-Tll shoot you tomorrow,
Do YOU think it will mako much difference with
t1nt fellow whether tho government gives him

GEN. WuEELEn's RECENT orEsArroSs.-

GIN. WHEELEn's Recent OrERATIoNs.-A
correspondent OF the Chattanooga Rebel, wri
ting from Nc Minnville, Tenn, gives some OF
the particulars of Gen. Wheeler's recent ex-
ploits. Nine miles beyond Nashville, Gen,
w. arrested a train IN the Louisville and
Nashville Road, and captured an immense
supply of Federal Government stock, burning
cars. locomotives, etc. Subsequently, he ap-
preached the rear of Nashville by one of his
character i~stically bold and brilliant lcats,
within nine miles of Nashville, and pitched
into a train upon the Nashville and Chatta
nooca Railroad. The Train was halted, but
not before a we'll directed volley had been
fred into the fast speeding cars. As a result
of this exploit, Gen. Wheeler had the pleas.
ure of securing three of Rosencranzs stall
officers, thirty.fv other individuals who bore
the insignia Of rank. and about one hundred
Confederate soldiers who had been captured
and who were on their way to Jail. The liz
tie volley t1 ed into the train resulted III kill
ing some thirty Federal soldiers, aud wound
ing thrice that number.
Among the spoils of Gen. Wheeler was
the celebrated Trautso pistol, just presented
to Gen. Rosencranz by some time-serving
yankee, and inscribed with the name of sew
en- battle-6elds upon which old Rosy had dis
tinguished himself.

REcoNNo1sAScE IN FogcE.-The report OF
the enemy of the battle of Charleston sets at
rest all question as to the character OF the
assault. 1t was no reconnaissance in force, as
some have supposed, but the very best fight
they were able, after two years preparation;
to make for the occupation of the haFbor and
the reduction Of the city Of Charleston. This
is established by the oficial order of battle
published by "Rear Admiral F. S. Dupont,
in which among other things, he says: CAT
ter the REDUCTION of Fort Sumter, it is probs-
BILE the next point of attack will be the bat
terics on Morris Island The Rear Admiral
didn't reach the second step in his programme.
But it is not surprising that the opinion
should have obtained some currency, that
this was only a reconnaissance in force. We
thought the same as to the battle OF Freder-
;cksburg, at first. Even Gen. Lee seemed to
be of that opinion. We whip them so easily
that it is hard to distinguish between their
battles and their reconnaissance, their fights
and their feints. 1t was not to be supposed
that little Beaurcgard would, in two hours
and thirty minutes BY the watch, nave re-
pulsed and defeated a grand assault hat was
two years preparing. But he did!-Rich-
