Indian strategy.
tBefore-Pet

before Petersburg Correspondent N. Heraldl
A very curious piece of strategy which
took place the other day shows that the
wonders of Cooper's Indian heroes have not
ceased. One of the 14th New York Artil-
lery-a Seneca Indian, L believe, from the
western part of the State--undertook on q
wager to bring in alive rebel sharpshooter,
who was percbed in a tree in front of our
line, considerably in advance of his own,
His manner Of accomplishing this was Q 8
as assuccessful, and rivals the ''devil-
try" of any of the Misunderstanding red-
skins. Procuring a quantity of pine bougbs,
