Camp Life and Its Many Incidents. Dangers from the Rebels’ Shots and Ex- posure to the Weather. REBEL PREPARATIONS. THE VERY LATEST NEWS, ‘ &e., &., &o. ‘Cane, Nxdx Youxtown, Va., April 7, 1862. The Rebel Artillery Again at Work—The Irith Regiment at Work—Rebel Deserters—A Comparatively Quid Day—A Dangerous Intruder at a Card Party, de. Abeavy discharge of cannon at ene o’clock Uils morn” ‘ng trom one of the enemy's forts induced a belief that the rebels had been waiting for Sunday to pass in order to renew the attack of Saturday. Only one gun, however» was fired. It broke upon the midnight silence of our camps with the loud boom of a thirty-two pounder. Fol- lowing the report scattered fragments of shell came rat- ‘ling through the trees where a regiment was encamp" ed likes sudden shower of iron hail. Happily, it ex pended its hostile vigor on the tree tops, hurting no one, A feature of the night was the activity of the rebel troops in strengthening their earthworks. It is estima- ‘ed that they had fully three thousand men at work all night. Large quantities of sand bags wero visible this morning on their intrenchments, and there have been changes made in the position of some of their guns: Putting up earthworks on our side began last ovening—a special regiment being detailed for thisduty. This was an Irish regiment, composed of hardy men, accustomed to sevore labor, and the vigor and faithfulness with which they took hold of the work is evidenced in the re- sults visible'this morning. It is proposed, I believe, to extend these auxiliaries of defence along the entire front of the enemy’s works. The shell, by the way, men- tioned above, was doubtless intended for the benefit of the Ninth regiment; but it fortunately overshot its mark. During the night there was a good deal of firing on our | pickets; but no one was hit. Two doserters attomptoa to come within our lines. One was shot through the breast, inflicting a fatal wound. The other managed to make heard the announcement that he was a deserter, and was allowed to advance uninjured. Both say they belonged to the Second Mississippi regiment, that their homes‘ are in the North, ‘and that they had been impressed into the rebel ser- vice. The name,of the one shot » is John McHenry. He gave Now York State as his birthplace, and home, until two years ago, Marshall, Michigan. He was teach- ing school in Mississippi when the rebellion broke out, the com ‘Wgainst our ‘the rebels have no Purpoad of yi but, on trary, or sanguine of holding Cie pesiuod ob with the firing ceusing upon our side they But two of their shells exploded, and no done. One of the shots struck between Captain @fiffin and his orderly. The sand flew up pretty lively, impart- ing undue liveliness of motion to the horses; but Use shell did not explode. One of the exploded shells teil among a party of the boys who were playing cards. Most dropped the pictorial abettors to pleasantly passing awaytime in camp, apd with instinctive naturainess jumped from their seats, as though any other ‘place wasaaier. One of the group stuck to his hand and seat. He said there was ‘not Cannon enough in Secessia to: make him throw down his cards until he had played his hand out.

At three o’clock our pickets heard the tong roll beaten within the enemy's intrenchments.

At the time of the cheering @ carriage, drawn by two white horses, was seen on the right of their breastworks. Theconjec- ture is that this jubilant outburst was called out by the arrival of troops from Richmond—ail the* militia of that city, according to statements in late papers published there, having within a few days been ordered to York- town. Not only is this inference drawn from statements in the papers, but every deserter who has thus far come within our lines tells the same story about expected reinforcements from Richmond.. Jt. is now believed that thereare not less than sixty thousand rebel troops in Yorktown, and some estimate the number even & third higher. But in the power of numbers, as applied to the rebel forces, our troops have no faith. Stories of reinforcements have no intimidating effects on our Fegiments. ‘The weather continuingstormy, has induced another day.of comparative quiet, asfaras from heavy guns, wore thrown over inthis direction about eleven o'clock.
