WotF Rus SHOALS, Va, Feb. 10, 1863.
Mr.. EproR Your readers have long ago
learnt taa the 18th ard 18th Vt. Regiments
were in advance, being posted at Wolf run
Shoals, on The Occoquan river. There is no
place on the face of the earth better calculated
80 remind oae Of murder, robbery and various
other dark deeds than this. Tho river is the
line beyond which we do not 60, and horrible
apprChensions creep over the mind as We stand

fur away in the forest whore the minions Of
treason are said to practice there yocations on
any uulorunat. suter, soldier or citizen who
may, by Ill luck, find himself iu that region.
lndeed, the boys often see, as they imagine,
while peering iAto the distance among the
gloomy pines, ropes dangling from limbs which
were used by the yillainous scccsh to relieve
some poor unfortunate Of this worlds trouble,

openings. For several days ominous looking
characters had been seen fitting about them
aud our picket line had boon very mnch dis

quarters and on examination 1t was decided tC

route of the stormiDg party now led up the bill

party, dsregarding the crack Of musketFy or
the difficulty Of the ascent. On they went IN
til they reached the abattis surround z the
main works and this presented no serious inn
pedinent to the enthusiastic hearts and stalwart
arms that opposed them. shout OF e4ditation
reached our ears, and ia an instant the Stars and
Stripes were seen to 90 up over the rebel works.
All the rebels that we e there, undoubtedly see.
ing the furious manner in which tho advance was
made, concluded discretion the better part Of
yaor. At any rate, when our boys entered tine
works not a rebel was in sight, and if they still
fingered in the woods they kept clean distance
between themselves and the range Of our rifles.
Our pickets were at once thrown out, the guard
with a will that soon told on the walls of these
structures Suffice it to say that, before night,
they were razed to the ground, and the party
safely returned to our bank without having st

ADVANTAGES or YEARs.--You are getting
into years. Yes, but the years are getting into
YOU, The ripe, rich years, the genial mellow
years, the lusty, luscious years. One by one
The crudities OF ycur youth are falling of from
you, the vanity, the egotism, the isolation, the
bcwi derment, the uncertainty, Nearer aud
nearer you are approaching yourself You are
consolidating your iorces, You are becoming
master Of tue situation. Every wrong road
into which you have wandered has brought you
by the knowledge Of that mistake, SO much
closer to the truth You no longer draw your
bow at venture, but shoot straight Mt thC
mark. Your possibilities 9. ndentrate, ana your
path Is cleared On the ruins OF shattered
plans you find your vantage ground Your
broken hopes, your thwarted purposes your de-
lcated aspirations, become staff Of strength
wi which you mount to subliner heights
