The burning of the railroad bridge
over the Rapidan River was caused BY a
mistaken idea of some of the soldiers,
instead of any order emanating from
Gen. Banks or the immediate command
er of the expedition, Brigadier General
Hatch. The Rapidan River, however,
Is fordablc at this season, at many points
near the bridge, and its destruction can
be matter of no great importance either
way.
Arrivals from Springv:Ile report al
most daily skirmishing between Sgers
pickcts and the iebet scouts near tho
Gap at Suray, and several of the enemy
had been killed. They also report that
n reconnaissance in force went from
Sigels command on Wednesday towards
Madison, and several guns are reported
to have been heard in that direction by
travellers the same day.
Parties from Winchester, by way Of
Port Royal, report that the guerriliaa
have paid frequent visits to the principal
routes leading thither. and in the vicinity
of Strasburg and Middletown. All tbs
stores at the latter places have been re
moved to more secure places.
Gen. Mcdowell arrived here yesterday
and pitched his headquarters in the
field.
On Wednesday evening Gen. Banks
paid a visit of courtesy to Gen. Hart
scuff's brigade, of Gen. McDowelrs
corps. The brigade was formerly com
manded by Gen. Abcrcrombie, in Gen.
Banks corps. His visit was unannounc-
ed, but notwithstanding the darkness of
the night it was soon discovered, and
rounds upon rounds of cheers greetctI
his presence to each of the regimcnts.-
Gen. Banks addressed q few brief and
pertinent remarks expressive of his past
and present pleasure in meeting them.

FROM TIE TWELFTH REGIMENT.

CAMP BEARDsLEY, NEAR HUMBoLT. Tenn,
July Is, 1862.
The 10Th regiment is near Humboldt Sta
ton, distant 40 miles by railway and 60 miles
By land from Union City. which place we left
the 4th, and arrived here the 9Th inst, passing
over some horrible roads.
We are camped in an orchard, near beauti-
full springs of fine water. 1t is called Camp
Beardsley, in honor of J. w. Beardsley. of
Prescott, who was here few days ago, look
ing to the welfare of the sick and wounded
Wisconsin soldiers. am glad to say the 18th
Regiment is in excellent condition. ] think
there is but one of Company Alb. B. Com
stock-in the hospital. This campaign is
proving that northern vigor can best with
stand southern heat The weather, for the
past few days, has been very warm. We have
plenty of blackberries and apples; we can
soon add peaches, too.
Nearly all of the citizens through here are
pro TEN. union men, though quondam seces-
sionists, and what they are to be in the flu
ture depends upon which army occupies the
oath of allegiance to the Federal Government,
from motives of self-interest. and bitterly
denounce the arming of slaves TO fight for
the union. The unionism at the south is but
a siclsly feeling at the best. Scarcely one
among them is willing to fight tor the union.
They are union men, not because they love
the union and the constitution; but because
they think secession will never succeed, in
their state at least.
1t is supposed that we shall be stationed
along the railroad, to guard it during the sum-
mer. This would suit u.s. during the summer
months, better than active service D.

Correspondence.

PREscoTT, July %. 1862.
Three cheers for Trimbelle, the banner town
in the good cause of Temperance On re-
cent visit to that place. we noticed lumber
being hauled, and preparation being made for
building. On enquiring of Franklin Otis,
Esq, we learned that they were building a
good Templar's Hall. 46 feet by sc. if we rec
ollect right, two stories high, the under part
to be used for public purposes. They have
two organizations, but perfect harmony exists
between them, and each contributes largely to
the good cause.
We also paid a short visit to the County
Seat, and found Judge Wetherbv on the Bench.
All we can say is we are sorry we did not
help, by our vote, to place him there. We
think on the whole, a man ought to have JUS
tce done him, The people seem to be little
nervous yet about The County Seat being re-
moved from there, but l think they have got
a safe thing. 1t is little announcement for
us, but it accommodates mary others. and
think our terms of court are shorter, and the
small, petty cases from this section of the
county, are less. A man had better safer a
little injustice than be dragged into court
where both sides usually are beaten. The
court is held in log house, little beneath
the dignity of the Banner County of Pierce,
but the people will no doubt furnish better as
soon as times will permit

A face that is cheerful. almost gay,
Full of resolve and courage and hope
low brave you are looking, DoUG, to-day'

With your glossy collar ard smell OF musk,
And your necktie knotted with such knack
Talking your nothings with silly bellies
Obedient servant to kerchief and fan,
Elegant, jovial, "a CATCH" to be sure,
But to day you seem to me more of MAN
You know lastspring, when we went one night
To the garden to hear the German Band,
You grew sentimental beneath the moon
And made me an offer of heart and hand.

Well take my first kiss God bless and bring
