A letter from the Army OF the Potomac,

which they suspected was being dug in front

Our men were considerably startled, and
every one rushed to his post, when a rapid fire
commenced from our line in the direction the
enemy were supposed to be advancing. As
soon as the smoke cleared away the true state
OF affairs was discovered, and firing at once
ceased.
A stray ball struck Col. Stedman, command

appreciated

They represent the Confederacy as being In
