June 10th. 1854.

Editors Confederate On Tuesday the
7th, our brigade was warmly engaged in
skirmishing with the enemy. It was one
Of the most spirited contests in this species
Of warfare to which have listened since
/ have been connected with the armv.-
Late in the afternoon our advanced line
Of skirmishers charged and took the line
of rife pits occupied by the yankee sharp
shooters, capturing about forty prisoners,
including one Lieutenant. The sn emy 8
loss in killed and wounded was consider
able. The loss of our brigade on this day
will amount to about sixty in killed and
wounded, of the former, think not more
than five may be noted. Our men held
the rifle pits until dark, and then returned
to the position held in the morning. The
Sixth and Fifty-fourth regiments were the
principal sufferers on this day.
On Wednesday evening at dark, the
enemy opened upon Gan. Hills troops q
most violent fire of artillery, in order to
disturb them in the work Of repai ring Nc.
Clellan's bridge across the Chickahominy.
From the position Of the enemy's artil-
]ery they were not able to disturb efec-
tually the work on the causeway and
bridge, and during the night the repairs
were all effected, and the road 90 innpor-
tant to the movements Of our troops waa
put in good conditions, and is defended By
line OF strong breastworks.

ATTEMPT TO sw1NDLE.

A letter from Samuel Copp, Jr., of the
Mississippi Valley Fair, has sent to the
Sanitary Commission here, certificate Of
stock for twenty shares in the Indiana
Gold and Silver Mining company, Virginia
Mining District, y. T." which had been
sent to the Fair by one ". 4. Rof; to be
sold, one half of which to go to the Fair
and the other half to be remitted. The
stock had been accompanied by letter,
stating that 1.-the claim is now being
worked regularly, and it is the opinion of
the President and Trustees that it will pay
dividends in the course of six months, and
there is every prospect that it will be one
of the richest mines here ia the time ADORE
mentioned. 1t is selling here at the rate of
from ninety to one hundred and fifty dol
lars per share, owing to the demand for
first class mining stocks" We have taken
some little trouble to enquire about the
locality of this NINE" which ought to de-
clare a dividend some time soon, (the letter
Of W. A. Hoff was written June 1, 1869,
but the only neighborhood in Virginia
District that we could trace this " Indiana

known in the neighborhood of the Savage,
the Chollar, the Potosi, and that vicinity,
as species of speckled wildcat, having
neither claim, works, nor anything tangi-

drawn at St. Louis was that it was

transaction pronounce it swindle. "W.

The Buffalo Courier has "yet to meet
with Democrat who, however loudly he
clamors for peace, is willing to ratify peace
on the basis of separation"
We wish we could believe that the clam
orous Peace Democrats were sincere
in their pretensions of desiring to restore
the Union. We wish we could find one
OF them who is unequivocal in his declar-
alton Of adhering to the Union, peace or
no peace. We have "yet to meet" with
such an one. The fact is, these peace
bowling demagogues are in favor of any
thing, no matter how infamous or dishon-
orable, that will break down the present
Administration, and give to them the
Offices, the spoils and the control of the
Government. In order to secure these,
they would let the South "go in peace"
or even set JEFF Davis up as the idol for
their worship. The most unprincipled
ana unscrupulous of demagogues that
nave ever had part in the politics of this
country, these Northern peace-sneaks are
the most depraved, reckless and heartless.
We wouldn't trust one of them out of our
sight for minute. if he had ANYTHING that
belonged to Us in his hands, for he would
be sure to steal 1t, and then swear that
