We md the following additional account as Il Is given
BY the correspondent Of the Baltimore Aas,;ean:
HEADQUARTERS AHMY OF The PororIc
November lat 1864
The surprise and capture OF part oil our PICKET ,lne
on Tuesday night, 40 already reported, occurred in
front Of the Fourth division and the men taken belong
ed 10 the 69th and lllth New York. They Were for
the most part, new men, and somewhat ignorant OF
their dues and hence we're not 90 Watchfu ss the olG
or troops Who have been duty at this part Of the
line. This was the rame place where our men,
aome time ago, played the rebels similar trick, and
the utmost vigilance has ever since been exercised
on beth sides 70 prevent repetition Of the occurrence,
INT when the late movement commenced every man in
the ranks left behind had TO take bis turn on the picket
line and some of these men, IL 10 said had never even
loaded quo. Is seems that the rebels did not clrry
ca single musket belonging to our troops, they
we're all found and brought In BY General Percss kri-
gade, which went out to reestablish the picket line
The only way to account for this ia that their foIcs was
too ANAL 70 carry the extra arms and thAt they didnot
have time to return for them.
Ahh % 6rrg kept up by both sides on the lines
here, no oHu Ltles are rpOEted. Last night IL was
kept up moSt Of the nigh, but the line remains the
came as heretofore. All is quiet this morning
Although this AIDA no important fact TO the accounts
air ady published 1t s interesting, as 1t serves to eIl
pose the evident lies which have been cay circua.
