The New Albany (Indiana) Ledger
tells this story

The New Albany Gndiana) Ledger
tells this story
printed few days ago, from an
Atlanta paper, an account of a mockino-
bird, which at the battle of Resaca, perch
ed itself on the top of tree, and during
the fight initiated the whistling of the bul-
lets and other noises incident to battle.
Another and more touching incident Of
a similar character was yesterday related
to us by Captain George Babbit, of Gener-
al Gresham's staff, and of which he was
htmselfa witness. During the fierce can
nonading at Nickajack, small bird came
and perched upon the shoulder of an ar
tilleryman-the man designated. we be-
Ieve, as No. / whose duty it is to ram
down the charge after the ammunition Is
put III the gun. The piece was Il Napo-
leon, which makes u very loud report.
The bird, as we have stated, perched itself
upon this mans shoulder and could not be
driven from its position by the violent
emotions Of the gunner,
| When the piece was discharged, tho
poor little thing would run its bealt and
head up under the mans hair at the back
of the neck, and when the report died
away would resume its place upon his
shoulder. Captain Babbit took the bird
in his hand, but when he released his
grasp, it immediately resumed its place on
the shoulder Of the smoke begrimmed
gunner. The scene was witnessed by a
large number officers and men. 1t may
be subject of curious inquiry, what in
stinet led the bird thus to place itself
Possibly frightened at the violent commo.
tiOn caused by the battle and not knowing
how to escape or where to go, some in
stinet led it to throw itself upon this gun
ner as a protector. But, whatever the
cause, the incident was most beautiful
and pleasing one to all who witnessed it.

Later from the army Of the Potomac of
the 2Sth says the arrival of some troops
in the vicinity Of Bermuda Hundred a
day or two ago, attracted the attention OF
the enemy and caused them to believe that
an advance on Richmond by way of Nal
vern Hill was intended.

ion Of Longstreet's Corps,an Wilcoxs Di-
visionof Hills Corps was Immediately with
drawn from the vicinity of Petersburg and
sent down to check the movement. To
counteract this maneuvre of the enemy the
Second Corps was detached and sent
across James river and at $50 yesterday
morning. Our advance. met Rebel skirmish-
ers in an open field opposite Jones Neck,
with battery in position at edge Of the
woods. A long line of sllirmishers was at
once thrown out who soon
drove the Rebels to their braest-
works, where they were kept hotly
engaged, while brigade of the lst Divis.
ion moved around on the left of the
enemy's line, and getting on to their flank,
charged and drove them from their guns
into the woods, capturing fifty or sixty
prisoners, four guns and a quantity OF
small arms. The enemy fell back on their
reinforeements, who occupied strong works,
built there two years ago, and our troops
followed, taking position on their front and
tlanks, and before this reaches you the en-
tire force may be captured or routed.
The guns taken were four 24-pound Par
