UiO corridor of a hotel thie evening, when a
gentleman read aloud to a group oi friends a
ielegraphic account of the tarring and feather*

they all langhed and scented to consider tho

Entering n Confederate Camp to Witness
Mattery Firlr
From tbe New York Telegram.
Last February wbilo in Virginia, I met with
ft gentleman who was In the artillery service
during almost tbe whole of the war, being at
first in field service and then shut up in wor
tar batteries at different places. When Peters
burg was invested, he, a sergeant, and hit
brother a lieutenant, were in a mortar batter;
situated near the old Blandford cemetery, hfi
brother being in charge. Their principal du
ty was to fire at the federal batteriea and draw
their fire.
When tba confederates made a demonstra
tion they had bombproofs to ran into, of
course, but at the same time, and, as might be
supposed, they becamo more familiar with py-
totechnic displays thsn they cared for. There
was ono union battery in particular that al
ways gave them trouble whenever they fired
at it. It was known as the "railroad-iron” bat
tery, and was very heavily armed. Moreover,
the gunners therein bad the exact range of the
Blanford battery, which was twico too large,
and it rarely required more than ten minutes
to run the confederates into their bombproof.
It was in this Blanford batterv that one ot tho
most curious and, at the time, mysterious
events of the war occurred.
▲ DARIXO PIECK or WOK,
"One night," says Sergeant Eggl—
were working tbero in the battery firing away
in different directions, but taking care to keop
our bands off the railroad iron battery, and
watching the shells as they flew around, occa-
sicnallv jumping into the bombproof whon ono
would light in our place, when two fine look
ing mm, whom we all took for general officers,
suddenly walked into tho works. Wo could
not tell their exact rank, bscauso they wore
White waistcoats and coats, but they looked
ts though they were rank officers. Thoy walk
ed up to George, addressed him as lioutenant,
as though they knew him, and said that thoy
had come out to see some mortar firing, and
hoped that ho would accommodate them it it
was not inconvenient. Goorgo replied that he
would bo hr ppy to show them anything in
that line, and turning to me, said, "Touch up
the railroad iron battery, Joe,”
"Well, I wished theso chaps had stayed in
their tents, but I thought that it would not bo
Very long before they would be glad to got in
to tho bombproof, and that the rest of us could
go in also. So 1 commenced to tonch up that
railroad iron place. In less than three min
utes wo had waked up the hornet's nest, and
they were raining shells into ns at a terrific
rate.
SHELLS BURSTING ALL ABOUND.
"Those fellows over thore seemed to know
that tho occasion was an unusual one, and thoy
were determined to givo us all that wo could
ask lor. Tho shells woro droppod into our bat
tery liko hailstones, bursting all around us,
and rolling around liko footballs, but thero
stood those two officers and George, leaning up
against a piece of timber and talking as coolly
as if they wero leaning on a fonco a thousand
miles away from a piece of artillery. A shell
came along and cut thatpieco of timber in two
tnd scattered splinters all over all over tho
place: but all that they did was to lean against
a freah place and go on talking. I don't be
lieve that either ono of the three ovsn winked.
I camo to tho conclusion that they liked that
thing better than I did, and I told one of tho
gunners to shift his gon around and play on
something else, and pretty soon I shifted an
other, and tho fire gradually diod down. I
knew that George would stand there and be
shot at till tho crack of doom before ho would
suggest anything about bombproofs, and the
other chans didn't want to say anything unless
bo did. Well they takod on for ten or fiftocn
minutes after tbo fire had died doin', and then
said they would liko to go on to tbo ukirmish
lino, and sco wbat was going on there, if ho
would show them tho way. Ho told thorn to
} ;oout of tho battery on a certain side and fol-
ow tho path, they could not mil# the skirm
ish lino. They left, after expressing their
thanks for our kindness, hut they did not sty
what their names were, awr George was too
polite to ask them.

"Now the funny r«rt of it comes in. Tho
next day George tried to find out who thoy
were, but none of our officers had boon oat
there. The fact is, 1 don't believe that any of
our officers had any white clothes to wear, and
if Georgo bad only thought a minute he might
have known that none or them would bo roam
ing about at night to see mortar firing. They
could stay in camp and get enough of that.
But he could not find out who those men were,
