Incidents of the WarA
correspondent furnishes (he Montornery
Mail with tho following incienl*
of the erar in Virginia.
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. Gilmer, who had a skirisli
with the Yankees in the morning,
id being greatly outnumbered, had
altered by the different routes, to re.
nite at their rendezvous in tho.valley
ne of the pnrry had been unhorsed
nd look to tilt? wpods for Safety JByig
thore concealed. l'rerenily lie ??aw
solitary Yankee horsteman coming
long, and lie ventured out to take a
a-k *t him ; seeing no othera coming,
e stepped out in front of ilio Yankee
orssman and found him U> b/ the oha
lain of the regiment. 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..
You are a pteacher," said the aoldier,
J ninal bclieye you, and as I can get
ut of this danger much sooner on
lorseback. I almlt have to thank you to
;et down." 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.'
We ?nw. the young man afterwards
nith the chaplain's-horse which
ran a fine blooded animal, and lit* new
naster seemed to be very proud of hiin.

v Beige of Charleiton.
H>? enemy, i? tb? action of Friday,
upon t3Te discovery of thcflre, opened,,
for lb? lime it laated, the heavieat fit* J
upon fhn.tyrt jet experienced, directing
their ?hot?'upon the angle froiM which
llifdlamea wyre issuing. 225 rifled shots ]
knd mortar abetN were fired, Mm ell of,
which tto brave garrison were nnaroid- !
ably exposed, in consequence of the,
dense smoke and great heat of Uveplaep.
Notwithstanding litis, the only casualty
by the enemy's fire was Ibal of Lieut.
Col. Elliott, who was slightly wounded
by a 1'arrotl shell knocking off some
Ujek*, one of wbioh struck liitu in the
head and another Is th* foot. ilie
wuund?, *l? ?r? happy to stnle, hare
not incapacitated him from duty, and
nil be still remains in command.
The total number of casualties by the
deplorablo occurrence was, we a?e informed.
eleven killed and furty wounds
ed. We bare be?n unable jet to obtain
a full lint, the official report not H&ving
been received at headquarters up to 11
o'clock last night.
Among the killed are Capt. Froet,
A. C. 8., of Lucas' Battalion, and son of
our esteemed fellowoitteeu, Judge Fmmj
Bergi. Swaason, of Uompanr K, Pifst
Regiment South Carolina Artillery, and
three prirate* of Cspt. Gidllard'e "company
of regulars. Several of the dead
bodies have not yet been recovered.-!The
fire was not completely fxtinguirhed
untH Sunday morning, the wood
having then burnt out.
The strength of the fort has not b?s?o
diminished, and wuri mo exception of
some inconvenience in the way of qiifcrteis,
it is as good as before the fire.?
The origin of the fire was purely accidental.
Most of the casualties occur*
red from the ?M)h -ion of a small magazine
in the West angle, containing
mall arms and ammunition.
" Since Friday tho enomy hsa cea*ed

to the advantage of some, an inferior
minority, and ?b? disadvantage of otbs
er?, who constitute tb? unfortunate ma.
joritr of the n\ale population of the
Confederate- State* ? Now, if we look
back to the commencement of this cruel
war, we shall see, in answer to the first
call for volunteers 16 defend one country's
rights and hone#; men of nil pro.
fessions, trades, and occupations nobly
coming forward, not once looking into
the future, to the?tiroe wjien lh?& tn*9,
by action of our governing powers,
scrosn themselves from the sufferings
and privations of the camp.and the
mora trytwg duties of the battle fiefd,
by throwing out to the public view,
" shoe shop," " tannery,1' etc-. It woiild
really seem enough that our representatives
should favor this cl?*? iheir
constituents by essmpling them from
the necessity rf periling their Nv?*. and
allowing them to remain at home to enjoy
aH. <" comforts and blessings with
. jbofr families, without giving them any
Ipiher advantage over their unfortunate
wethseB in the field.
