BlowlNG EM up.-It is slated the road
at Bachelors Creek, IN front Of the ene-
my 5 outposts, along which the Yankee
cavalry are wont to sally forth to rob
hen roots, kiR pigs and steal lnegroes--it it
saied, we say, that this road has of late
become quitc dangerous to travel. Be-
meath its sandy surface there has lately
been discovered an indescribable, com
bnsribl substance, which on the slightest
touch Of the Yankee hoof or foot expiodes

These subtefranean fiery balls are equally

ten days ago, the story goes; two deserters
from the 9th NC. Cavalry were3fraveling
down this road, on their way TO the Yam
KEGS. Suddenly an unearthly ysnoiae, a flash
and one Of them found itiniselfcn HE way
to-the moon. The enelny alarmed by
the noise, sent ont a sqadro,i of cavalry to
see what was the matter, and on arriving
at the fatal spot, old Bezebub aga n poked

terrible roar asif something had exploded
