the city. When within few hundred yards of the
ford with his prisoner walking beside him, hi. horse
stepped upon and exploded torpedo plinted in the
groand and concealed in the dlst The horse was 1t

almost instantly killed. fragment struck the prs-

terrg the leg the knee. His lie is despaired Of.
It is no. kno whether there any Of these
torpedoes planted 10 the roads not but IL ia pre-
suned there are and great caution exercised by
soldiers in consequence.
The same correspondent describes the manner in
which the Yankees were poisoned thus:
There many reports in circulation to the cfec
that some OF men have been poisoned by diakiGg
liquor left by the rebels. The reasonable conc lsios
would b, this: dug store being endangered by the
