A gun fired by the enemy's shot.
--Capt. Casper W. Hunt, of the Walker (Tennessee) Legion, present at the attacks on the batteries at Aquia Creek, a few weeks ago, narrates the following as one of the hundred hair-breadth escapes of the Confederate forces on that occasion: "One man was lying sick in a house near battery No. 1 when the firing commenced; he seized his musket and ran out of doors with it in his hand; at that moment a shell exploded over his head, and a fragment of the shell striking the hammer of his gun, fired it off, not injuring him in the least."--Fred Herald.
Tennessee.
A citizen of Polk county, Tennessee, communicates, through the columns of the Dispatch, some interesting neighborhood news to the volunteers from that county, selecting this medium because the officials of the Lincoln Post Office (not yet abated as a nuisance in the county) send all letters addressed to the soldiers of the Confederate army to the dead-letter office, at Washington.
It is quite refreshing to read so unsophisticated a relation of home news in the columns of a newspaper.
But what an admirable example we have in the simple statement of the letter: "The young ladies of our county, many of them, have been working in the corn and wheat fields, and say, 'as long as they (the volunteers) stay to fight, we will make them something to eat!' Wheat noble women they are!
Can they ever be other than the wives and the mothers of freemen?
No — never!
