Job Poison had gone the length of his line,
What in the world to do with himself he did
not know. How could he work to advantage
without the suggestion of his wife? Where
were the helps, hints and e-ncouragements
which, for 50 many years, had been his guides
and assistance? And when he came to think
of it seriously what sort of a piece of work
would he make of it in attempting to rule
and govern a person who knew more than he
did, and who understood better what should
be done? And, furthermore, how was he to
call back the light Of those smiles, and keep
up the warmth of the old love-? What would
his home be with that light and warmth
withdrawn?
JOB Poison took his pipe down from its
little shelf over the fireplace, and filled 1t
with tobacco. But he did not light it then.
lie held it in his hand awhile and finally laid
it upon the mantel. Then he went and stood
before his wife, trembling like an eager child

CULPEPER CouRr HOUSE,, October 3, 1862
Down at the fords on the Rapldan the army
of General Lee is busy throwing up more in
trenchments, thereby adding to the strength of
an already very strong position. As nature, In
constructing this region, placed the hills on the
southern bank Of the river and the plains on
the northern, It is easy to perceive that the ad-
vantage Of ground 10 with the rebels. At Rae
coon, Somerville and Robertson Fords rife.pts

pieces are called-command all approaches.
They have at Somerville Ford two tiers Of
rihe.pits in straight and cremellaire lines, and
| earthworks behind and above these, to cover
their heavy guns, the nature OF the ground
giving them the power to sweep the approach
by the opposite plain with a heavy cnhlading
ire. Their position Is now infinitely stronger
than when Fitzpatrick attacked them In II three
weeks ago. Gen. Early's forces are stationed
here, and are confronted on our side by Gen.
Webb's brigade of the corps commanded by
Gen. Warren.
Between these troops picket firing has entirely
ceased, and at short musket range both parties
lounge, cook, or work unmolested. The rebels
have even mounted battle-fag upon the ram.

A RAID BY THE REBELS.

OPERATIONS OF YoRRBsT-ATTEMPT TO CUT RO ..
sBcRANs' COMMUNICATIONS.
NASHVILLE, Oct. S.-An unusual degree Of
excitement prevails here to-day In consequence
Of the rebel Gen. Forrest, with force of about
four thousand mounted men, having made a
raid on our line OF railroad communicating be-
tween this place and Bridgeport or Chattanooga.
Just at this particular time no trains are
leaving for the direction Of the front. Yet this
circumstance need give no particular cause for
alarm. The enemy can do but comparatively
little to ipjure our line of communication
Forrest may succeed In interrupting our COM
munication for q few hours; but we have not
only the force to drive him back, but to defeat
an immensely heavy force. There is no need
Of fear for Gen. Rosecrans' success In holding
his position at Chattanooga. lie is too strong
at that point for the enemy to attack him with
even show of success.
To-day skirmishing has been going on In the
neighborhood OF Murfreesboro'. The enemy
made an attempt to destroy a bridge Of consid-
erablc importance 10 US in railroad point OF
view. In the skirmish very few were wounded,
and none were killed that can hear of.
Some persons are inclined To think that an
engagement Is going on at Chattanooga, be-
cause the enemy is thus operating in the rear
of Gen. Rosecrans. But do not coincide with
them. Unless the enemy is very desperate ht
will not attack Chattanooga. II he does, there
10 every Likelihood that he VIII be defeated. II
he attempts flank movement on that point HI
will meet force that has been long and wei
tried in the field, and Gen. Rosecrans would b.
able to hold out for several days against til,
movements and attacks Of even a very superior
force.
The present raid Is not an unexpected one tt
us. We were looking for II. Cavalry move
ments do not surprise us, % IL Is only wheI
heavy bodies of Infantry move on our line o
communication or tanks that we prepare TO
serious engagements.
In conclusion, Let me assure the loyal pcopi
that fears Ior Gen. Rosecrans' rear and for tn
safety OF Murfrccsboro' need not be entertained
unless the enemy moved on our rear flank il
full force; and a gentleman well qualified Il
know assures me that there was no information
of an attack On Chattanooga up to the cuttini
of the wires between here and Bridgeport, Ala
bama, said cutting having taken place at day
light this morning.
