I insjtantly plunged through the thicket to try and get a shot, hut I was tqp„ late, for they were out of sight. Here no one' was kilted, and wo, again marched on,' until wecometo on old grist mill, about three miles from , our camp. , There we were again and drawn up.in line of bat- no' shots were fired. We might have killed a good lot of them, but we took them to be our friends, until it was to latei It was now night, and we were throe miles from camp, in the woods, and surrounded/ by rebels on every side,, with nothing hut a negro for our guide.— We marched on about, one mile farther, when we were again brought to a stand by the sharp cracking of a few rifles just in front of us, with the balls clipping through the leaves above our heads. Capt. McDonald' wnsj in front, he dis charged his pistol and ordered his men to fire; they did so, but no one was hurt. This was for tunate, for they proved to be our men.- Wm. G. Seely, of Brookfield, informed me that he had good aim at one not more than five rodsoff, hutnris gun-snapped ; this-'seems to have been, controlled by a higher power than that of man. This was the last difficulty, we met with that night. TTo arrived in camp about nine o'clock, and found it in a state of great excitement, for our own pickets who bad fired into us f re ported that a large’ army was advancing upon them.' Cannons were planted, and cavalry, mounted, buf they were rejoiced’ to find their advancing foe, the Buck-tails. ' Long'after 1 bad retired to bed upon my bunk of leaves, when all around was still, and the pale moon was sailing through the quiet Heav ens, shedding her light through the golden forest leave?, and I looked back upon the, dangers of the day, both seen and unseen, I thanked God that we were all once more safo, and guarded by our own friends, while we rested from the toils of the day. ■ The next day we marched back to this camp, having been gone three days and matched’about fifty-sis miles. We’’found orders for us to be again ready to start this morning; but tile rain which has con tinued the most of, the' day, is the only reason why 1 Have had time to rest, arid inform our (riepds at hriino that we still live. There 5» a gre'at movement in'contemplation, and respect that we shall leave in the morning, but' nothing positive. Col. Crocket. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
