Ever since the disastrous rspulse of the
2ith, the right wing has maintained silence;
with the occasional sharp suffering of
musketry, when the hostile pieSets hap
pened to approach too near, or when. at
night, party faneied themselves about to
be attacked, and fred upon a visionary foe
to the alarm of a whole camp. Yesterday

five days.
1 Meantime, those who are left in eamp
while an expedition is creeping stealthify
around the rear, through the woods, en-
deavor TO amuse themselves and kill dull
time as best they can, until word is heard
from the adventures. The next day after
the fight all the iield-bands in camp were
discOursing their best music, as if endeav-
oring to rally the spirits of the boys; there
was an almost entire cessation from picket
firing, and the Federals and rebels. men

terrOgating the first rebel he met if he had
any superiuOus plugs in his possession,
and, being told that he had, offered to ex=
change his watch for a supply The rebel
consented, and, in return, gave him
quantity sufficient to furnish his whole
company for a week. The rejoicing Fede-
raj soldier returned to camp, but when he
reached there, he found his stores Of the
weed diminishing so rapidly without any
equivalent that he inclined to repent of his
bargain. Accordingly, he took pound Of
coffee, which cost at the COmmissary's 70
ty-two cents, and, proceeding in search 7

Yesterday had the pleasure of taking

from the tree top could not have been less

telescope showed the windows in the

to the north of the city, and a
le long row of barracks on the west
