A Snower of blood. --A correspondent of the Chattanooga (Marietta) Rebel, writing from Gen Lee's army, November 10th, says: Soon after our arrival at camp the first snow storm of the season commenced, and it was accompanied with a phenomenal appearance which is often spoken of, but seldom seen; I allude to a shower of so-called blood. This reddish substance fell over a spot about four or five acres in extent, spattering the tents with large splashes of a fluid resembling poke — berry juice in color, and collecting in considerable quantities in the cups of dead leaves, &c. There was a singular appearance in the north at the same time, resembling the "silver rain" of the pyrotechnist, and which lasted but a few minutes. These facts can be attested by hundreds of persons, officers and men, and 1 enclose you come of the leaves clotted with this peculiar sed substance.
