An infamous contrivance. --We were shown yesterday a shattered Minnie ball that has-been extracted from the thigh of a brave South Carolina volunteer, Mr. Wm. W. East, from Greensville county, by Dr. J. H. Jones, at the Manchester Hospital. The ball had in it a piece of hardened steel, crooked so as to produce the most irritating wound, and sharpened as if by machinery. One would think the leaden missile deadly enough in itself, without the addition of the above diabolical contrivance. If the Union were not already everlastingly broken, such arguments as the above would go a very little way towards mending it again.

Army, has been ordered by the War Department to the 2d Congressional district, for the purpose of establishing a military camp or rendezvous for the collection of stragglers, deserters, and conscripts. We learn that he has established his headquarters and rendezvous at Hicksford, Greensville county, Va.

onfederate officer a most extended programme which had been chalked out by Grant, but which, through the energy and vigilance of our troops, was happily frustrated. It is thus summed up by the Petersburg Express: This officer states that Wilson and Kantz were to effect a most thorough destruction of the Southside and Danville railroads, but were to part company this side of Danville. Wilson was to come down through the rich counties of Charlotte, Lunenburg, Brunswick, Mecklenburg, Greensville, and Sussex, stealing all the horses and negroes which could be found in his way, and again enter Grant's lines by way of Stony creek; and if this point proved impracticable, to come out where he entered, at Reams's Station.--Kantz was to proceed to Danville, from thence to Greensboro', then on to Raleigh, and thence along the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad to Weldon. At the latter place, the bridge was to be burned, and Kantz was then to make for the Black water, and come around through So

ch leads us to doubt the truth of this report. It appears that his cavalry brigade was sent forward to relieve some of our infantry, who were in danger of being flanked. They accomplished all that they were sent to perform, but General Chambliss, while gallantly leading a charge, got within the skirmish line of the enemy, and is believed to have been wounded and taken prisoner. General Chambliss was formerly colonel of the Thirteenth Virginia cavalry, and is a native, we believe, of Greensville county. The reported death of General Wade Hampton was not credited in official quarters, and we may safely pronounce it entirely without foundation. After the above was written, we learn that an official dispatch was received last night, which states that the enemy yesterday made a determined attack on our line between the Darbytown and Charles City roads, and at one time broke through; but he was repulsed and our original positions were re-occupied. From Petersburg. The qui
