Camp Acnoss Tar Rarranaxnocn, Brtow Freparicxsxcea, June 12, 1863. ‘The rebets continued the barbarous practice of firing ‘on our pickets yesterday. An additional detail of marks- men from the Andrew Starpshooters were consequently ‘omployed in picking off the pests, and during the day they brought down half a dozen or more of them. ‘The One Hundred and Twenty-scoond New York regi- ment, which for gome days past has occupied ihe right and frovt of our line, is exposed in some degree to an e@nfiladivg fire from the rebel pickets. Yesterday even- tag, while going on picket, three privates were seriously, though not dangerously, wounded, as follows:—John Con- nor, Company E, in the thigh; Dwight Hall, Company K, in the foot; Gharles Everingham, Company C, in the elbow. Aside from the popping of sharpshooters by day and ‘the music of the bands at night, a funeral quiet reigns on either side. Despatch of Mr. S. M. Carpenter.

Since July, 1862, business at Nassau has been very Drisk, especially with the rebel States. Mapy thousand bales of cotton and gallons of turpen- tine have been landed at Nassau from Charleston and Wilmington. From the above month to the month of May about fifty-seven steamers and over ninety-one sailing vescels have left for rebel porte. Of she former fifty-one, aud of the latter over fifty-five have been successful in land- ing their cargoes, which have been of immense value and use to the Southern States, and have realized for the senders fabulous sums. On the other hand, forty-four steamers jand upwards of forty-five sailing vesse's have safely arrived at Nassau from the various ports of the confederacy, with full cargoes of cotton and turpentine.
