Letter from the Fire Zouaves, [Corrwpondmce of The Press.] Camp Advance, near Chain Bridge, Va., > September 26,1861. $ I smelt powder and, saw blood shed for the first time, yesterday. I had the honor to command a detachment of ten men from our company, who, in conjunction with ten men from each company of our regiment, formed the Advance Skirmishers for the army yester day, (IVednesdav, 25tli). Think oi' that! placing us ahead of men who liavo been here for months; who fought at Big Bethel, Bull Bun, and in all the fights. IVc made an ad vanee yesterday with 15,000 men, for what obieet Ido not know. Wc were thrown out, and with the Seventy-ninth Highlanders and Berdan's Sharpshooters, who took the loft, (we took the right), we advanced about eight miles, driving in their pickets as we went. We finally came in sight of one of their bat teries without being discovered. Wo fell back to the brow of a hill and waited until Gene rals Smith and Baker came up j they then sig nalled our battery, who came up double quick and took a very good position, under the com mand of Captain Mott. We were then sent out again, in order to draw them out, and in scouting through the woods, we came upon a number of their pickets, but having orders not to fire on them, we contented ourselves by taking tbeir captain prisoner, who, by the way, was an aid-de-camp to General Stewart, of the rebel anmy. He would not tell any thing, so we sent him in the lines j the rest of them made their escape. Their battery soon commenced shelling the woods, but the most of our men were to the light, behind the hill. There were four men wounded by them, when our guns opened on them, and completely annihilated their bat tery. They had got our range pTetty accu rately, and their halls were coming uncom fortably near when Mott got his eye on them. When lie fired he knocked their gun all to pieces, killing some men, but of course we do not know how many. We could sec their gun turning a complete somersault, when Baker, who was laughing all the time, says: “Now, you devils, give three cheers,” which was done emphatically, I can tell you. Some of tlieir balls must have come within two feet ©f his head, but he never flinched; never re tired ; stood on top of the hill, in full view, telling us every shot that told. I tell you what, when they burst over your head, within four or five feet of you, it makes you feel queer! And then Colonel Baker would sing out, “ Down, you devils! don't you see that fellow coming ?” And, I tell you, he would be quickly obeyed. We had nobody killed. Yours, O. B. S.
