christraaa Day In the First Virginia
Regiment.


Christmas morning daWned upon us
brightly here in Romney. TWAS day of
pleasant expectations to the First Virginia
boys. Many of them had an Inkling OF
the kind remembrauces of fathers, moths
sers; and friends, on their way from home.
In. due time the wagon heavily frelghted
with boxes and parcels, under the direction
of Wagon Master Holiday, and escorted
by Quarter Master Singleton, made its way
into camp. need scarcely say that its
arrival was gladly welcomed. u would
have done the aforesaid fathers, mothers
aud friends good. to see, as / was permitted
to see, the eager, happy faces OF their sons
and husbandsas they received, one after
another, and departed TO their quarters
with the gifts nndamementoes from "the
loved ones at home" Aud now the busy
note of preparation for the 'attack on
the said boxes; began to be heard on all
hands. Invitations 10 dinner flew thick
and fast. The day was given up to feast
ing and innocent enjoyment, but not. to
caronsal. ~ 3a az
Captain Donnelly's company was rae
membered with especial liberaIity. by their
Marshal county home staying friends A
table was spread very much after the fashion
of fourth of July occasion, the entire
length of regimenlnl street, ifyour readers
know how long that is, the entire company
and nearly another were fed therefrom;
and the supply was still exhausted. The.
Colonies t'6ox" afforded most sumptnons
dinner to very pleasant party OF members
Of the regiment invited to its discussion.
Similar entertainments were given and re-
ceiyed by the company officers, and by the
men during the day all through the camp;
There was but one essential lack rs com
pared with Christmas festivals at homes
our wives and mothers and children could
not grace with their presence the teasts
which their bounty had supplied; but we
had before us the next best consolation to
the soldier-fhe evidence that they had not
forgotten u.s. After no little inquiry have
neither seen or heard ola single case ofin
toxication during the day. This speaks
well for the morals of the Regiment.
The camp is fast assuming the appear
ance, not only of comfort; but of neatness
aud taste, under the efficient aud admirable
direction of the officers in charge. The
ground is kept clean and well drained; va
rious devices are successfully employed to
make the quarters comfortable for winter,
and forest ofevergreens, planted in front
ofthe tents, is causing the whole camp to
put on very inviting appearance:

II is said that Governor Magoain, Of
Kentucky, has become quite dOciIe. His
former secession sentiments have, in a
great m easure, vanished, or are a droitly hid
beuea tn the cloak of ypocrisy. and he now
announces his intentions to send no more

TERRIBLE E4ploIt Of Rlne oannon-

Dali.
The Boston Courier publishes letter OF
a correspondent, on board the United States
steamer Massachusetts, off SHIP Island,
October 2sth, giving an account of the3af-
fair between that vessel and rebel steam
er, in which the following extraordinary
exploit of rifle cannon ball is chroni-
cled:
During the action think we hit her
four times, and know she hit Us once
with a So pound rife shell, Chat lie the way
we got the exact size of her rife gum The
shell entered on our starboard quarter,
Just above the iron part of the bull: it
came through the side angling aft (as we
were a little abaft his beam when it struck
us, y and took the deck in the passage way,
between two state rooms, and completely
cot off eighteen of the deck planks, aud
then struck t,eam, which cauted it up a.
little, SO that it took the steam heating
pipes under our dining table, cutting Oh
i've of them, and teAring our dining table
all pieces-then went through the state
room bulkhead and ceiling OF the ship on
the opposite side, and struck one. of the
outside timbers, aud broke every outside
plank abreast of it short of, from the spar
10 the gun deck, it then fell down on the
spar deck and exploded, knocking four
Gtate-roOms into one, breaking all the
glass and efockery ware, SCATTERING the
cabin very. badly, breaking upall the fur
niture. and setting Ere to the ship, but we
had three streams Of water upon the hre at
very short notice, and put IL out bAtore u

When he was placedsin his coffin the en-.
tire brigade marched past the corpse, and
had II last look atone who had been but a
short time before one THE gayest of their
comrades. The deceased was native of
louisville, KY, and had wealthy and re-
spectacle connections there. His mother
is the only parent now living. lie was a
young mnn 81 or % years of age, full OF
life and mischief, bu, NOT vicious, unless
under the Influence ofliquor. lheard him
say, when in life. that his father started
him in business By buying him bar on
one of the lower river packets.
With such start, who can wonder at
the ending. There was for while some
fears of an outbreak, but a more orderly
concourse could not have been brought to-
gether. The example will be tasting. An
universal gloom pervades the camp Even
the weather, which heretofore has been
like Spring, seemed to assume M appear
ance suited to tue occasion. Enrly this
morning it clouded up, and thsre has been
n drizzIing rain nearly all day. 1t has
ceased and is now quite cold. :.
The regiments quartered here are well
provided with the Sihley tents and stoves,
which make quite comfortable quarters.

kind. Yours truly, CT. d.

Destruotive FIRE In washington.

Destructive Fire IN warrington
We clip the subjoined from the specials
to the New York press.
At o'clock this evening fire was dis
covered in the government stables on D
street, near the Observatory. 1t spread
with great rapidity, and soon enveIoped
several OF the long sheds. As many of
the horses were turned loose as possible,
but some could not be reached, and others
would not leave the stalls. Upwards of
two hundred were burned.
The destruction of hay and grain was
considerable, and the Ere was only shipped
by tearing down "a number of sheds. Que
dwelling house was burned to the ground,
and another severely injured The horses
escaping the flames were wild with fright,
and ran in all directions at the top of their
speed, causing great confusion among the
firemen and spectators. Many were cap
tured by the soldiers and teNmsters, but
others wandered to distance aud may
never be recovered. and some too badly in
iured to survive, die miserably ia adjacent
lots.
The FIRE, which is said to have been
caused by the overturning of lantern,
illumined the heavens for miles around,
and attracted visitors from all parts of the
city.
The Cd and Sd Regular Infantry and 9th
Cavalry. part of the provost guard, render
ed good service, and, with the mid of the
tevmsters and citizens, the 6remen and en-
gines being useless, arrested the contiagra-
grafton. The total loss to the Government
is estimated at $4,000. au

THE telegraph announces the adjustment
of the Trent affair, by the restitution of
the captured rebels.
While many will think the Government
humfliated by this concession, if tits such,
we are not yet prepared soto regard it.
Not England only, but France. and other
Europesn powers differed from the Ameri-
can construction. Of the act Of Captain
Wilkes, and held that it was violation of
the rights of neutrals. So there is at
least large preponderance of opinion
against us as 10 the legal aspects of the.
case. d.ep
More than that we have confidence in. the
Executive to. believe that nnless it was right
and proper the surrender would not have
been made. Certainly it has appeared TO
us of all things the clearest hat every pre-
cedent and principle Of international law
was on our side, and most desirable among
all other mundane things that the traitors
should not only have been retained but
dealt with according 10 their deserts.
But the legal advisers of our government
may not have 50 regarded il, and having
had no authentic expression Of these oPin=
ions, until the present announcement, we
have no grounds for saying that they at
any time contemplated holding the prison
ers at all hazards, as the great mass of the
people were in favor of doing.
In a ny aspect, if a refusal TO comply with
the demand of England would involve us
in foreign complications that would endan-
ger the int gritty of the government. and
render probable or even possible a recog-
milton Of, and cooperation with, the O. s.
A. by foreign powers, and thus peril the
result of the pres ent struggle, it seems to
us it was best, if not right, to make some
sacrifice Of pride for the good of the coun-
try and tho successful termination of the
war. England an d France will not always
have us onfthe, hip, and this meanness in
taking advantageof our present weakness,
even If we regard the matter III that light,
will be remembered. But five understand
the explanations Of the adjustment flor
those received up to this writing are not
very explicitly there mas been NO sacrifice
of national pride, although some of feel
ing. The Secretary OF State declines
to make an apology, as such. He makes a
simple statement of facts, and says they
leave no occasion for an apology. It is
simply firm and dignifed dIsayowal of
an act which has been decided by anna
jority of maritime powers to have been
violation of an international law.
whatever twipges Of modification We
may feel over this result, they will be more
than counterbalRnced by the agony which
win be experienced by the rebels. The
hope of foreiga interference has long sus-
tanned their dropping standard, and since
the capture; their Ambassadors, who may
Indeed have been thrown out on the ocean
asa bait, as some affect TO believe, their
pulse has beat high with e1ultation. But
thecup is dashed from their lips and they
are left again tor reliance upon their own
resources without even a decent hope toin-
spire their efforts. Certainly this ia some
thing worth considering aud consoling our
selves with: q.
