Camp near Alexandria,

Sept. A, 1857. J
We are at last in camp on the Potomac
again After having been through the severe
campaign on the Peninsula, we arrived at
Alexandria with the hope that some little rest
awaited us. We had hardly got our camp ar
ranged, when we received orders to re-enorce
Pope. Commenced the march Friday morn
ing, and marched near Fairfax Court House.
Next marched to Centrevile where we arrived
at 5 p NJ. From this high elevation the Ia
nous battlefield of Bull Run could be plainly
seen. The fight was raging and the smoke of
battle rising. We continued our march to
within short distance of the field of action,
only to receive orders to countermarch, and
from the crowded state of all the thorough
fares leading from the field towards Centre
vile, it was plain that disaster and defeat had
again been our sad lot in this memorable loca-
ton.
Our regiment was ordered to march two
miles this side of the Notifications at Centre
vile, and guard the road to stop the stragglers
They had but little to do that night, but next
morning about all of McDowelrs army corps
came struggling along, and were halted, al
though some were very anxious to go to
Washington. From them we learned that
when Longstreet's achievements reached
jackson, that the attack was made in force on
the left where Mcdowell was stationed Banks
holding the centre and Porter the right; that
panic was created, and that general retreat
of their whole corps ensued,
That day we marched to the Works, and
were posted there, where we remained until s
p. NJ, Monday night, when, with the rest of
the whole army, we made tracks for the Capt.
tai of the United States.

Franklin's corps has received orders to be
ready to march at moments notice with
three days rations in haversack. 1t is entirely
uncertain which way we shall move Stone
wall Jackson's headquarters were reported to
be at Langley two miles from Chain Bridge,
last night. A movement may be made for his
rear, or we may cross Long Bridge and 60 to
Harper's Ferry via Baltimore.
1t gives general satisfaction among the
troops that Gen. Mcclellan has command of
the forces for the defence of Washington.
Whatever may be said and thought OF him in
the North, he still has the entire confidence of
his troops, aud many of Pope's late command,
whom we have heard express themselves are
DESTROYS to come under his command. Pope,
they say, said great things and did little.
Mcclellan has said but little, but has done
what he said. Mcdowell seems to have the
united disapprobation of his whole command
who have now lost what little confidence they
ever had in him.
Many hard stories are told of the cowardce
of some of our troops in the late battles, but
we have yet to hear of a Maine regiment or
battery that has not honorably acquitted itself
and conferred honor on the State. So may
II ever be. The praise of the Maine cavalry
is on every tongue. Although reduced in
numbers, it is a noble regiment. OF the bat
teries we know but little, only that there is no
bad report from them. ARoosTooK.
