--At an early hour yesterday morning, two mounted Yankees, in their anxiety to get to
Richmond, came dashing along the Bothel read on their chargers, little dreaming of the obstacles in their way. Arriving at the church, they were halted by the pickets of
Capt. Conrad's Juvenile Guards four in number, and ordered to give the countersign.
Drawing and flourishing their sabres, they declared they wanted no countersign, and were about to when, pick at thought, four loaded muskets were leveled at their head, and they were ordered to dismount.
Deeming discretion the better part of valor, the
Yankees speedily dismounted, were taken in charge by a corporal, and seen after were escorted to
Richmond by
Messrs. Watkins Adams and three companions.
