onjecture. But be what it may, our camp to-night, (Camp Walker,) Sunday as it is, presents a scene of cheerful and active preparation, amounting almost to a jollification, at the idea of moving, not that our men are tired of camp life, but because there is a hope of active employment. Our regiment seems to prefer to be fighting to being stationed anywhere. One of our bashful young men was writing a letter for a married soldier to his wife, and was so delighted on hearing the order that he immediately closed the letter by saying "kiss all the children and believe me your loving husband" and signed his own name instead of his friend's to whose "dear wife" he had addressed the letter, and did not think of his mistake until he had sent the letter to the post-office.

The alarm having subsided, and the smoke of the battle mingled with the somere shade which deceived the faithful guard, he was ordered to be arrested, and the cow to be skinned. On trial: Plea, "heard of Trojan horse and Stich like." Our excellent Col. Jenkins, no less generous than strict, forgave the sentinel, with a kind admonition, and sentenced the cow to be removed hence, as unworthy to be eaten, having but little flesh on her bones.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.from Manassas Junction. Manassas Junction. Camp Walker, 5th Reg't, S. C. V., June 30, 1861. All is quiet in our camp to-day, and has been since the fight on last Sunday night, when one cow fell mortally wounded, at the first fire, by a sentinel whose vigilant imagination, after calling her three times without a response, conceived in the dark shade a Yankee in cow's skin, a la mode the Trojan horse, endeavoring to enter our lines; and, intent upon immortal glory, in futuro, and beefsteak in presento, he let slip his deadly rifle and "fetch her," heels up. The alarm having subsided, and the smoke of the battle mingled with the somere shade which deceived the faithful guard, he was ordered to be arrested, and the cow to be skinned. On trial: Plea, "heard of Trojan horse and Stich like." Our excellent Col.
