Camp Wood, Kkntiti'ky.J January 3, 1802 ( Fbirsd Smith: Itboinga rainy evening I thought I would write to you and give you a small insight into the life of a solJior. We are encamped on tho northern bank o Grcon river, almost In sight of the rebel camp. The bank ef the river isabout one hun 'red foot high, and oh! what rocks. The Green river bridge is about ono thousand' feet long, resting on three piers tho fourth pier and two spans of the bridge wore blown down by the rebels under Gen. Bucknor be fore evacuating this section of tho State It is constructed entirely of iron, and was the second finest bridge in tho United States. There is also a cave near our camp, which extends about one hundred and fifty feet uns der ground. We (a part of our brigido) had a skirmish hero on tho 17th of Decern ber, in which Ihe 32d Indiana (German) Regiment took tho active part the 15th Regiment boing on'nickot duty, and only Company E crossed; but tho 49th Ohio, nnu the 39th Indiana crossed at double quick formed on the south bank, and tlton tho flanking companies of bnth regiments deployed as skirmishers; tho Germans then rallied and "wont in" again, they returned to the place whore the recesh had been, but they wero no where to be found. I have a shell that was thrown by the rebels; it contained twenty four small balls; it had just such a tube and cap as we use for our muskets. Eiclool I send you tho cap taken from the shell, which did notexplo'lo. Tell a'.l of your boys in the office, who have got the war fever, that hugging a cold musket is not in a warm ollira setting type, but I do not regret tho step I have taken, in the least. I have a ''rose" mado on a large piece of paper, and g through the motions, j ust to keep my hand in It is jut pouring down rain, and the tents bak splendidly. I must, therefore, quit writing or get my papor wet. Yours, &c , ,' D. W, Bkacii. Cash- Wood, Decmibcr 2'i, 1861. Mr. L.

I wrote you a lct'or a few weeks ago, and I havo not locoivod ait answer yet. I would '.ike to hear (rotn you. I thought I would writo you a few lines, and let you know about tho light that soino o f our men had hero. Threo thousand rebels attacked oar men who wero across Green river drilling. There was only 300 of our mon, and 3000 robels. Oar men wero not thinking abiut tha rebels, till they begin to fire on them. O.tr men returned tha fi r.i bnt the rebols held on; thevf ought ono hour and the rebols had to ictroat at la.sf Those 300 men belong to tho 321 Indiana, German Regiment- I think that was gocd lighting 300 against 3,000, Tho loss on our side U 11 killed, and soma few wounded. Tho loss of tho robels 122 killed and some wounded. After an hour's fighting, tho rebols had to rotreat like whiteheads; then our cann.in began to play on them. They paid for at. tacking the Dutch, and that pretty dearly, too. I was on pickot guard pretty closo to where the fight was, but I could not seoany thing ol it. I was in the crook bottom, and they wero about three quarlors of a milo from mo. I havo not much to write about. I want you to write soon.

Cakb. 03"It has boen estimated by parties wh have tha d-ita upon which to build accurate conclusions, that the liuaiber of slaves who have esoped from rebellious masters since the secession of Virginia, and tho actual com mencement of hostilities, reaches nearly sixty thousand, valued, in round figures, at over three nillions of dollars! or more than was lost by the slaveholders in all tho previou thirty years of the slavery agitat;on. This simple fact, moro than all tho "inexorable logu" of yeari of 'obate, proves the wetchod folly of secession, and tbe worthless piopho-cies of its leaders. I am exceedingly BDrry to loam that ccr tain New England and one or Uo Western Republican Senators, are exceedingly weak kneed upon the emancipation question. In deed, it is doubtod in some quarters , whether they will vote fur a confiscation act even; fear of consequences being the motives which prompt lla in to such intense "conservatism.' That is lossy, boing Presidential spirint8) thny are disposed i troat 'he tebollio 9 slave holders very tenderly in order that in the future they (ihe aforesaid aspirants) may not be obnoxious to the Southern people!

Camp McClkllan, North Missouri, ) Sturueon, Dec, 28. ( Ono of the sharpest battles of the war was fought about eighteen miles from this placa to-day. Col. liirgo, commanding his regiment of sharp shooters, had learned through his spies that a rebel camp was located at a plnco called Mount Zion Meeting House, in Boone county. Gen. Prentiss having come to (h s place yesterday wiih about three hundred cavalry, under command of Col, Glover, he accordingly organ'zod a command of five companies ol sherp shooters undr Col. Birge, nnd two hundred of cavalry under Col. Glover, nnd moved towards the rebel camp. Arriving within about a niile, Gen. Prentiss ordered Col. Glover to attack a detachment of one hundred, which iind taken position in a lane. He did so with great gallantry, killing a number, and Inking several prisoners. The ethers (led to camp, Tho order of battle wns now assumed. Col. Birge, with three companies of his command, advanced through the Geld, (ak ing the loft, joined tho force of Col. Glover, whileen. Pr tntiss held position ith a reserve of sharp shootcrs and a portion of cavalry. Thi attack was commenced in lull force. The fire from the whole rebel line was terrific upon ihe right wing. For a moment our column wavered nnd fell back. Col. Birge, observing this, rode into tho most perfect storm of leaden hnil that was ever met on battle-field, called upon the men to rally. Col. Glover coming up with Major Tempi", and unitin ' with Col. Birge, soon rallied tho whole line, and the fight hecame terrific. Capt. Bwyd, advancing from the ri lit wing, poure I in from the! rifles at ev. ry lire messengers of de th. C d. Birge, will) a da ing that could not be excelled, led on the left wing. II t-oon saw the enemy on the right giving way, and sounding tha cry of victory, ihe whole line rushed forward, and tli rebels fled in every direction. Col Birge, pursued them with Capt. Boyd 'or two miles, killing four nnd taking five prisoner.8. The rebel battle ground what n sight! After they had taken away before they fled seven wagon 1 ads, it wis then completely cov red with dead end wounded. The rebels had taken chosen ground in '.ho noo ls where cavalry could not operate. Col. Glover, however, dismounted his cavalry, nn I led them forward with his umal bravery The eo Iness nnd daring of Col. Birge in nllying his men in ths midst of a perfect tornado of bullets, is deserving of nil the traie due o a gallant soldier, and j what is more for liitn, during the. three hours ihe battle raged, he never left his I position in advance of the line cheering on his men. The r bels lost in killed, wounded nnd missing not less than one hundred and fifty. Ninety horses were taken, and a load of arms, saddles, nnd all their camp equipage Cuir loss was eight or nine killed and twenty five wounded. -. English Preparations for Sbolling Amorican Citioa. A corps of English engineers hnvo been laying out dofences and fortifica'ions along tho Canadian frontier and in the Canadian cities. Toronto has been stron.dy fortified, the batteries being mounted with ono hundred pud Armstrong guns. Tho engineers vis itcd Sarnia,, Goderich and other lako cities, and planned the defenses of thoso points. But what wo particularly lofer to now in their work, is tho fact that at Windsor, di rectly opposite Detroit, thfy have comroenrad works which will bo ready to ro:civo their guns very shortly. The for; is situated upon a bluff which commands the whole rivor front hi the city of Detroit. The fort i licit ion is rot confined to a de- fonsive work. It is planned and built expressly to menaco, and, if opportunity offers, to destroy the city of Detroit. Is this alow. able? If it is, why does not our Government hasten to construct corresponding forts and fortifications upon tho Amorican side of I be frontier? If it is not, should it not bo pro tested against officially? Would tbe English Government allow us quietly to build a series of 'ffi.-nsive works along the St. Lawrence and Niagara rivers in time of peace? Does not tho same principle of international Intervention which prohibits armed vessels o anv nation cruisim; w thin a leaue of tho shore of another couutry apply to the land limits? Clev. Leader TlioIro'nEntoiing into Thom. In an elaborate revi w of the Southern situation, the Richmond Examiner of ' the 2 3 ill ult., in alluding to the present rebel government says; It exhibits a want of prescience and enterprise, a lack of i he larger statesmanship and ability to co nprehend the nature of the movement they were in. Its policy has been a series of makeshi t, which have b' en nnnilitla'ed by each succeeding wave. A errespundentof t ie R chmond.

Most Melancholy Accident Two mt TLB BOYS BROWNEB ErroitTg OF A LITTL'l HERO TO SAVK 'i IIEM SAOAC1TV OP TUEIB Newfoundland Doo. A most distressing accident occurred, About 8 o'clock yostorday morning, resulting in the drowning of two most intorestng little bDy,-ono, Joseph, aged bout 5 years, son of r. Liwe, tho other, Philip;aged about 7 years,son of Mr, McNary , of this city. Tin little fellows had their dog a Doe Newfoundland pup, haroojsed And hitched to their sled, And wero At play to-gather. They had just been called to pre-are for school, when they concluded to take "just one more lide;" and At the instanca of fcome larger bay, were induced to go upon the ice of the river, near which tbey were At play: The ico broke under thorn and they went down together. The accidont was wit nessed by a young woman on a canal biat, and she instantly gave the alarm. The first to arrive was young Mastor Aston, son ol William Aston, Esq., and he plunged fearlessly into tho stream, and with great effort made his way through the. floating ice, and succeeded in getting hold of one of tbe boys and supported him most manfully; but as he would reach tho icy margin it would break beneath their weight. He thus continu ed to support him, nevertheless, until relieved by others. But when othors came to his rolief tho life of the liitL or.o was gone. The other was carried under the ice, and was not found for some time, perhaps an hour afterwards. When tho littlo boys first fell in, thoir Newfoundland playfellow made most frantic efforts to aro them. In the strueglo, he tore himself loo e from his toy htrqess, and wont cushing a perfect channel through the ice to reach the body of bis littlo master Efforts wero made to resuscitate, but el! availed nothing.
