The rebels have lately been playing a sharp
game in front of a part of our line, nearsaAp-
pomattox. At this point there is small
creek in front of our works, across which the
rebels have built a dam, which has threatened
to force back our picket line to dangerous
extent. To counterfeit this project, General
Egan had devised works which he superfn-
tended personally. On visiting part Of the;
line Sunday night, a rebel sharpshooter sue
ceeded, after several attempts, in wounding
him. The ball entered the right fore ARM,
out at the wrist. The wound is very painful,
but, fortunately, not dangerous. o
Another sharp fight occurred between this
