The rattle of musketry and occasional boom of cannon farther to the right showed that the deadly business had begurn in earnest, and the whizzilng of stray bullets warned us of our nearness to the picket line. A singular incident happened this day on the line of the First Division. This line ran through the yard of the Sheldon House, and behind it were several guns in position exchanging shots with the enemy's batteries. In the house were several ladies who had ref
