At dark began i digging, sod at 10 P. M. had the satis- ' I 1 1 fact'On of seeing the stars— stars thai ! h»d looked opon us five weary" long 1 ' - weeks as prisoners in tbe Southern ba*- i • I tile.

We feurcd for the j i ' safety of tome of onr men who got out : i i with us, as in crossing ■ field just outside of Richmond, we heard several I ; musket and" pistol ihpts, and think tin y i j ran on a guard or picket, but trust our I I fesrs were groundless. By the disttr.ee we came, we judged ourfclvet outside of I the pickets, as we did not meet any of I them. Thfs I* miraculoas, at we were ; ! entirely ignorant of their location, er the country. The only thing we knew ■ j tree that w« wore traveling N. E. The only thing worth mentioning coming i.j this dittance, was that we met three j rebel cavalry riding along at a break- 1 ! neck gallop, and within five ysrds of us I unobserved, as we threw ourselves flat ! upon the groand. We tho passed | through two forts with uobudy iu them, | ! or if there was we could not see them. This wss rather strange, as the* termed i to us rather formidable works. Getting out of our hiding piece tl dusk, we re- ' j sumcd our jnnrnry and bed gone abont | three miles when it commenced raining : j iu torrunls. We went to a wood sod : stood under a tree about an hour and a ; half, and by that time we were well drenched to the skin, snd shaking ss with ague. Being cflupleiely chilled through, we resolved on lighting s fire, , after much speculation upon the pro pfioty of so doing. Considering onr I position, not knowing hut tho robs were all around a*, it was e bunrdous j h. i We sat around the Ore until morning,: wringing and- trying to dry our soaktd 1 garments.

Thursday 19. h. — Two negroes came siting who cautioned us not to travel by daylight, as this wes tuusler day of the ' Home Guards," and the ctttxme would lie coming from all pert* of the rnunty (King and Queens.) to -he Court Homo, 1 wnd would I M- very apt to .pick us up. We followed their advice, and remained 1 nil dgy in the woods, they promising to return at dusk and hring us something : to ret. At 7 o'clock P.

We thought it wet all ! up with us, that the negro had betrayed ■ at and thol these were tho'*'Home , ' Gourds'' that had come to capture us. 1 Borne of oor boys commenced planning ' bow we shoald again escape, "T»r we ' roltld rather suffer death than to be t . ag-iin lodged la "Castle Thunder, " end exclaiming "WVe gone," "Tits infornal > uigger," etc. Judge how tgrcrtbly sur- , prised we were when on coming close l we discovered them to be onr friends. the negrdes; male snd female, their ages 1 varying from fourteen to eighty yesrs. - They had come, I suppose, for miles ' tmisl our biding jdeec, to bsv# s took

About half a mile from where l»y he met a darkey who told him that the river was not picketed end that ( '! there was not a soldier within mile* ofj | tbe piece.

We moved ^ rapidly as possible to tbe middle oF | the river, and started in an easterly di- r , . rcclion, having been told that our gun*>re lying at Windmill Point, - I about thirty miles from where we started I At daylight we wire beyond pursuit : | We cal.ulaled upon meeting Our gun- i j si daylight, bnt it came and went, undue were still fur from them. At! dark we pullrd avhore. Went to « house and after repeating our old story of > I being Ynnkt-e deserters,, and tilling the ! j folks we were trying to get into Mary- ' j land, obtained information how to avoid i | the gunboat*. We were told they were, about two miles off. It bring *ery j foggy, we thought it prttdent not to try gelt tog aboard of them that night, fearing that we might be Bred into by them i before we conld mske ourselves known ! The reason we hail for supposing this, j was that clave by this polrt the U S j ►teerorrs "8stelite" nnd "Rcli«nre"were enpturvd by the rebels, snd we m!ght be | mUtakco for the enemy. We remsint d | on shore ontil 4 A. M-. when we started, expecting to breakfast undvr the ' old Ihig." But how we were disappeiuted. Such * two miles as we had to go. Two, ; five, right and. ten miles were psssed, j *nd still no host hi tight. It wat rather discouraging. Wc pulled ashore at 10 ; A. M.. and determined to pel information of tbelr whereabouts before going farther, for we were just at the mouth of ike Rhappahannock river, Snd did not know which way to atoer. Two of our party went lo • house for that purpose. They had been gnne about an hour, whsu, happy tight! we taw two of our gunboats rounding a point abont five or six miles distant Our boys jumped for joy, and to bate tern them one would have supposed they were erased, such a waving of bats and handkerchiefs. We tied * hwudketchinf to M po'e and kept waving it until tbey came opposite to ' us and stopped. A boat pot off from them und came to us. Some delay was i occasioned by the non-appearance of tbe . two who bad gone to the house.
