were staring at each other across the little riv-
ulet known as Mine Run, when moments ap-
peared to be hours, and the hours days, so near
at hand seemed the deadly strife, solitary sheep
leisurely walked along the run on the rebel
side. A rebel vidette fired and killed the sheep,
and dropping his gun advanced to remove the
prize. In an instant he was covered by gun

to help him eat it. Of the hundreds of hostile
men arrayed against each other on either bank

from Alabama and Georgia. This officer visit

Georgia, andEravelled incog in order the better
to reach the truth rmong all classes After
giving a detailed report, he says mis- observa-
tons have CONVINCED him that there has not
been single case of starvation in eithar Stote,
and that the amount of destitution has been
largely exaggerated, and so located as to be in
many cases unable to visit them: and that al
tough some destitution exists, and has existed,
it, is not absolute but consists mainly in con-
finement to some one OF a few articles of food,
OF which in nearly all cases there have been a
sufficiency, and teat it has been owing in
greatpart to the idleness of the people.
