The train of peace-makers, bearing palms and singing pastorals, with the venerable bell-wether, Mr. Crittenden, in the van, is halled by a flourish of trumpets from the lips of Major General McClellan.

They went within a quarter of a mile of the place, and found it full of cavalry. Returning, they overtook a party of forty-one horsemen, and at once charged them, routing and driving them back more than a mile, killing eight of them and securing seventeen horses. Corporal Hayes, in command of my men, was desperately wou
