A CURIOUS BATTLE.-From a private let
ter Of soldier on the Rapidan, we get an ac-
count of a fight which may not figure in his
tory among the battles Of the war: Just
across the river, in full view of our pickcts,
but at that time within the Yankee lines, is
a cornfeld, which, earlier in the season,
abounded in choice roasting-ears. From
this field the men of both armies in the Vi
cinity were wont to fill their camp kettles by
stealth; for it was dangerous business
the field being exposed to the fire of the
pickets-on both sides of the field the danger
Of unpleasant collisions and interruptions
was much less; but gradually from day 10
day the hostile cleaners approached each
other, until few rows in the center of the
