James Brown, private of Co. E, Penn 2sth

The movements of troops are conducted with
the least possible parade and publicity affording
astrong contrast to former similar Military pa
rades.
1t is evident that Gen, Mcclellan is sedulous-
ly employed making the best disposition of the
forces under his command, with view TO the
protection Of th- Capital should the confederate
forces relying upon disloyai MAryianders as co

sons command has recently beer within
two miles of the Poomac Great Falls in nearly
a direct line With the tording place. II this be
true 1t can be safely tated that the confederates
would not find their passage unobstructed and
would discover certain arrangements on the
part of the federal Government not inserted in
the disunion programme.
1t is known that there is on the part of our
troops the utmost vigilance, while our lines are
sufficiently extended to guard against surprise
from any quarter.
