pickets, stationed d couple miles away. con-

the fellows, aud get their latest papers, but the
fate Of Richardson and Brown deferred me,
and contcnted myself with the liberal use Of
a field glass. Theyare generally very peaceful,
and clever enough, exchanging papers almost

comfort about that manner of soldering, I
