TRADING WITH THE REBs.

Col. Stone is in charge of our brigade
skirmish line, and the officer in charge of
McCOOk's line made an arrangement with
the rebel officers to refrain from firing,
except when an advance was to be made,
and whenit was to be made notice was to be
given. The line in front runs in the dense
woods, and the skirmishers of both armies
are distant from each other about as far
rs telegraph poles. The boys trade news
papers and coffee for tobacco. When one
of our locomotives would whistle back at
the station the rcbs would call out: "There
comes your hardtack, Yank." When a
whistle would be heard from the rebel
side our fellows would reply: There comes
your corumcal, Johnny" This kind of
soldering may seem humorous, but it is an
agreeable change.
Last night, when our brigade was ordered
TO advance, the boys gave them notice.
