Rebel soldiers tired of the war.

The following colloquy is said to have occurred between the National and the rebel pickets on either side of the Rappahannock:

Rebel.--I say, Yankee, I'll throw my musket into the river and skedaddle, if you will.

Yankee.--Can't see it.

Rebel.--Well, we'll all agree on this side to bite the bullets off our cartridges when we have the next fight, if your boys will.

Yankee.--Can't see it.--N. Y. Tribune, Feb. 6.

Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
