The 2nd Corps of the Confederate Army-un der Genl. Early, was camped at New Market in the Shenandoah valley. o Our advanced posts were at Mount f oJaikmn, and between there and Edin burg lay the debatable ground visit- a -ed by the scouts and foraging partes t 4of both 4rimies. d One flue clear morning, I mouhted, f and followed by six scouts4--well ti cquippqd,-tried pien and true, I 4 f;et out for the little village or settle- a ment of Buohaitt, whiqh y to the , left of Edenburg and constntly visit- I ed by the enemies forage parties. We a were all well mounted and W -fine lidalth, and as we trotted gayl along the probability of a brush rather.add- ] ed to our spirits thanotherwise. . The 1 sun had about reached its tneridian in when we halted in front of a low Atone e built cottage occupied by an old vat- * ley farmer-his wife--and one daugh- t totr. Iknew them well, and-the daugh- a ter' had more than once gained infor mation of the enemies'.movements that < bind proved of great advantage to us. a Dismnounting from my horse I stopped s a ito the house to inquire after mya friends and see if I could learn any,. thing of the enemies' miovenients. I I found no one in but Miss Mollieg (the daughter,) whose fair face bote thme unmistakable evidenoes of troubling 1 .thought. As soon as she saw -me, ahe camo forward greeting me with msizh kcindness, but evident anxiety of *an "Good morning Capt4id," sakt sho.. "'I am gaad to see you. buwt vou. must not remaln'ln this neighborhood, you have made yourself. too notorious and the yankees swear they'll hang you, if they ever lay hands on you again. There was a party of."Them here this moraing hunting yon and they bohav "d shamefully. The officer spoke very insultingly to Ifse, and I am ifraid the next thjfie they eome, they ;rill burn the hotie. 'heard them alking to thenisdives aftl they left he house, and I think they intend d retnrn to-night, so you had better )e on your watch." "Never fear, Mdlle. If they come ack they may meet with a warm re eption. Where's your father and nother ?" "They have both stopped out but rill be in again soon-what do you ntend to do ?" '-I intend to way-lay this party a'd ut them off," I replied. "They whI now any how that I've been hero and ay punish you. I shall conceal mye aen in that thicket of pines and uu-, ter growth yonder-across the field, nd* when they leave here I can cut hem qff in the woods about half a iile from here and bushwhack them, ou have still two horses left have you ott "Yes, what about them." "They must be saddled up and con oaled with my party, for if by any hiance this party escapes us, they will aturn and take venge4nee on you. o you muot be prepared- to retreat in our lines with me." As I finished speaking the old farm and his wife entered, and after the Rual greeting, 1 unfolded my plans, hich met the old gentleman's cordial 3proval. Every thing was done as I roted, my men moved down to their nbush, the horses were tattered, and to farmer's two horses were caught and ;ddled and led down to the place of mealment. The old lady and her dinor for'iu. After seeing thlat our ncealment was perfect, and that rery preparation to insure success id beQn made, I wal!rcd back to the >use where I learned that a strong icket reserve of yankee cavalry, was imped about two miles from the )use, and that it was from .them that te party had come who visited the )use im the morning. "By the way, Captain," said Miss [ollie, "If there is any fighting to be )ne, you had best let me take a hand. have that little pistol you gave me at. I keep it loaded, and on coca on like this, I think I could use "Best keep out of the way," I re-. lie". "I don't doubt your courage, ut we can't spare yop.. You are one r my best scouts and must be cared )r accordingly." By this time the dinner was ready nd with the assistance of the old goo eman.and his daughter, I carried it own to my hungry squad, who-eimp kshion, soon showed their approim on of it, by their deeds. A little >rage was shaken down to the horss, nd after that every thing was on the ,atch for the enemy., The day wOre lowly on, and to our anxious mind& -emed as if night would n eves come, radually however, the sun stnk be hdd the lofty peaks of the Blue tidge, kissing the tops of the gVand o14 aks, as if to bid them a qhaste good ight, and leaving everything on the ast side of the - mountains in solenin nd quiet gloom. At this momnent ho faint blst of a bugle muet my ear, nd evory man sp rung to his horse, placed thp bit in his mouth, and tight, ned his saddle girth. As my noble nimal rubbed his frontal~ on . any houlder I parted his arching neck 'nd whispered you must stand up to it o-night my bonny bay, for yomu may ave a double. weight to carry. In a few minutes the tr$mnp cf hors s mingled with the elanking of sa >res, and the coarse jest and laugh of he riders met our listening ears, and ye now only waited for an opportuni to. meabure our strength - with eirs. *Arrived at the gate, they dismount di ana -lateningr their horses to the fence, entered the yard and I heard them thundering at the door for ad mittance, gradually the voices died away as they. entered the house, and next I saw lightsglance from window to window, as' they soarched the prem ises. My vaen.were now burning with impatience to advance, and each man stood with. his hand wreath-)d in his horse's mane ready to spring into the saddle af dio- first word; still I liesitat ed-to precipitate matters. T wanted themn to leave the house quietly if they would and attack then on thq road fof the sake of the family. While I tood hesitating thus, a pi4tol shot rung out from the house aud, the neit nioment thc back door was.giung widb open and a woman's scream pierced the "Charge !" I shouted, -prIn'ging in to the saddle, qnd dashing over every objCt that intervened in the direction of the house. My men -ere as quick as myself, animated wi!', I know no.t what apprehensions, at that thrilling tcream we spurred our horses to> their topmost speed and dashed un-wards. Ilearing our approach, the yankdes broke from the house and attempted to rcach'their horses. The movement was well thought of, but ltwas too Wate. ,The ringing pistol shots, the sharp whistling of the bullet, as they sped on their death mission mingled with cries for quarter and the shrieks and groans of the wounded and dying, as our maddened horses Sprung upoi, them and'trampled thow. madu up a 3cene morg easily imagined than dis oribed. The affair hardly lasted ten minutes. Favored by the darkness 3ome of them succeIed hT *reaching their horses, and escaped; the balance lay on the field. Two of my party were *ouuded, whether by their rriends or the enemy was not known. rhrowing myself from my horee I on ogr ly * u,,, m er lay he mother lay fainting on while her daughter bent over her try ing to resuscitate her. Near the miid ae of the room lay the bedy of a young man in -the uniform of a federal 3aptan, stone dead. The bullet had been sped by a sure hand, and he died without a struggle. Hastening to re lease the old man I next went to the iaughtet's assistance,. aird vqry sool' we had the .satisfaction of seeing the Ad ladycome to, and raisa hbr head. Hastening out I told two of the men to go and get the farmer's llorses, and by the time'they arrived the good lady aynounced herself able to travel. laini her on one horse I t4d one of dy best men to stay by he; and ois Oin he'r. The farmer jmited the ther Morse, and then came t e daugh r.

The old farmer and his wife followed me across, and as we climbed the opposite bank I pointed to the lights of New Market shining across the old field and told them to spur on. Turning again to the river bank, I waited for my men. Even with a young lady in my arms I could not desert them thus. Naught was heard now but the rush of our pursuers' horses as they came up. M men stood arm until they got Within fifty yards, when they pciTred in a smashing volley, so close and so-withering, that the enemy re coiled from it, as though it had 'been a battery of artillery. A shout of wild triumph roso from the scouts, as wheeling their hordes they dashed them into the flood, and in a few mo ments stood beside nc. Few words sufficed to convey my further instructions and turning my 'horse I dashed towards the town. The firing had been heard, and the men even were getting under arms. As I pulled up in front bf the Hotel, a crowd rushed out to welcome me, an4 in a few moments, I placed my blush ing charge in her mother's arms. I immediately dispatched ascoutto Genl. Early to explain the firing and turned to say good bye to my fair friend. As I pressed her hand, she whispered, "God bless yoa, sir, I shall ne'er forget you." The War In South America It is lamentable to witness the slaiigh. ter of brave men in th- sanguinary bat. tles taking place in South America all sides, no doubt, inspired with a belief in the rectitude of their owit course, and a determination to fight until the truth is vindicated. Tile battes which have taken place lately between Paragnav aid the tnited forces of Brazil and the $.Nre o rsraregriha "No quarter" to tho vanqAiished seems to have been adopted as the-rule of war fare. Defenceless prisoners are ruthlesslv cut in pieces. In the recent attempt of tht Paraguayars to recapture the island bf Itapirn, they are said to have suffered h lo of 640 killed and only 40 prison. af whon were disabled. An. 'oth,r furious batle took place in the latter part of May, near the pass of Es. tero lellaco, the PAran making a furious assault, iupon the 'allied forcep, the cavalry repeatedly charging up to the muzzles of the artillery; but infor. mation of the intended advance having been given by a deserter, they were re pelled with fearfid slaughter. The An. glo-Brazilian Times, in giving an ac count of this affitir, says: This tremendous d;sh was met with steadiness by the troops attacked, only a Otnall corps of Corrientine cavalry giving away; the charges of the Parnguavnn were received by the infantry i<iare, w(ith a heavy fire, which drove them back again mid again, w hilo the allied cannoi soon obtained a decided snperi, ority over ithat, of II enemy, and di. reeted mainly on the attackinig masses, made slch havoc amoig them as to riuell the ardor ofthe siatack upon the llaiiks.
