Whilst in the city of Winchester, on ar way hither, there occurred an incient Which we think worthy of note.? lie YqnkeeCaVnlry stationed at Charles'- / ?t*n made a raid'through the oowntry ir some miles above Winchester, and 'turned with a number of horses stolen .< om tho farmers, and with rfome dosen. risotiers picked tip on their manraud? ig expedition. A Yankee oflieor was 1 ding through the streets a little ip the ar of the body of his corps?by hi* de was walking a joung man whom 9 was conveying ?<T the post as risoner. As they thus p*s?ed along >me one on tho side walk hailed ttle nnkee as an acquaintance, who stop ed for a minnto to return the aaltita* on. No sooner lied the Yankee tnrnI hia head, than the young man by is side, by a sudden spring, wrested is pistol from his hand, and presenting el his head, commanded him instantto alight or have his brains blown it. The Yankee got down quickly, id the young man vaulted in his sad la,, dropping liis hat in the act? esenting the pistol at the head of the infounded oTticer and ordered hltn to rnd him hia hat, which being done, lie nt spurs to his horse and dashed out ' to vn in an opposite direction from 10 Yankte force, and safely affected is escape. Upon another day we met a party of nb<ulen's men. aiiavlieii it> the Copland of Maj.

The Yankee teacher accosted oar Confederate l?oy, i>ktng him if he was not tired of the rw'ce, telling him it was uaeleaa .toght any lodger, and suggested that it ouM bo wiser and better for hiin to go dlli him and a irrender and get a pade, adding that he was in graat danger a here he was. Our Confederal >oking eery seiiou*, said : " 4>o von p'ally thiijc I am in danger ]" " Moat rrtainly," ?-aid the Yankee Chaplain..

Seeing the preacher look . little blank at the proposition, ?qr rirnd said : '* Come, no quick, sir ; yon aid I was in great dangri, and I want o l?e off." The astounded Yankee dinnounied, and our young fiiend sprung nto.the saddle, left him to his medi'aions.'
