Special DIS patch to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
WAsHISGTos, Nov. 30, 1862.
We have Trustworthy and important information
direct from Richmond. The people have been in
another panic for the past two weeks, produced by
various causes. The removal of Mcclellan, and the
rapid movement of Burnside; the hurried manning
of the forts around Riehmond the threatened attack
uron the James River with our new Monitors the
failure Of their Merrimac; their pickets being cap
tured upon the Chickahominy by Gen. Dix; Gen.
Lee, from the offensive suddenly assuming the de-
fensive, and telegraphug daily for more men to save
the Capt. all the idea that nearly all our new levy OF
600 900 men are coming down on them at once the
peous appeals of the army for Clothes the loss OF
6O000 to 100 coo men in the last ninety days in bat
tie by deserton and by siekness; the fear of ntur-
rection in the Southern States during the holidays,
and the hopelessness of help from Europe, have
made the hopes Of the traitors grow darker and
darker, day after day.
The Cabinet at Richmond have ordered Gen. Lee
70 throw his whole army upon the Rappahannock,
and dispute every foot Of ground while he has msn
left and Jackson has been recalled with Hill and
Stuart from the Valley to form the left flank of Lees
army. Jackson was opposed to coming, and wanted
to keep up diversion Of our forces, he said, by
making raid into Maryland and Pennsy lvania, but
he was overruled by Lee and Davis.
At the time of Burnsides movement Longstreet
was in Richmond, on his way to North Carolina.
and the campaign supposed to have been over in
Virginia for the Winter. Part Of his corps were
with him. They We're put in the works al once and
he took the cars for Fredericksburg to hold the line
Of the river if possible, and not to reard our move
menis until Lee came up.
There are now from 90, 600 to $1,000 men in the
works around Richmond, and but $4,000 north OF
these, including Lee and Jaekson's forces. They
have plenty Of raw provisions and millions Of pounds
Of beef pork and -four aIe being accumulated II
Richmond Vessels are running the blockade every
week with clothing, but the army is still suffering
terribly Gen Burnside IL aware Of these facts, anC

The following intelligence was received last night
rom one Of vour special correspondents with Burn.
sides army, dated ..,.o-.u.., y. ~ ~ SOC,
Tho PebsIs sill continue TO fortity vigorously on
,ho, second line. 1t is now believed that they have
thrown their infantry forces further to their rear
,ybere their camp fires are not visible, instead OF
syseuatng the position as spoken of in my dispatch
Of yesterday.
Iis believed in our official quarters that the Rebel
force about Fredericksburg and within call near
enough to concentrate against us when we cross the
riyer is from 100 600 to 10, 600.
Mrs. Burnsides visit to the army is referred TO IN
zone newspapers as indicative OF going into Winter
ousrters. This is altogether erroneous. Mrs. Burn.
,ide simply came down to Acquis Greek, and
NAMED but few hours. Her errand was purely a
business one.
The President, the War Department and Gen.
Burnside are united in the view that the army must
lot 90 into Winter quarters. The present delay,
owing to certain changes in the situation, is only to
take such steps as will insure the vigorous and
eessful prosecution of the campaign when it reopens.
M H. c. Hines, for the past year mail agent for
Gen. Sedgwick division, has been appointed Post
master for the entire right wing of tie army. The
appointment will remedy for this part of the army
the present wretched management Of the mails.

First Voyage of the Passaic-Stcering nm
Iron-CInd with N i.oolsing-t.lass.

From Ou! hpcc.ai tOfretyontcnt
OK Board rHK PsrsA'c,
FoRTREss Monroe. Nov. 80, lltlb
We have arrived here safely, and j hasten 10
transmit an account OF the first voyage Of the second
Monitor. | have already teegraphed about the two
bolts starting in our boiler II made it necessary 10
shut off steam, and we were towed up. But the
trial was over-the experiment fairly tested. sup
pose YOU know that, beside the apparatus Tor firing
cur great gun and the small hole n the iurrei, there
were other principles involved in this ship which
needed application TO show their value. They were :
L. The water-tgh, nature Of the iurret.
.. The arrangement FOR using the compass.
,. The sea-going qualities o. Tho ship. -,
In regard 10 the FIRST IL will be remembered that
the leakage OF the original Monitors turrst was
found to be q serious inconvenience. Waior forced
ifssn under the huge " castle Of iron, and In u
heavy sea when ticsc low craft are almost " bun,d
in the deep il WAS thought that this feature would
be fatal to their success. new invention was de-
visei to remedy the difficulty. IL hos worked ard
now the turret il WATERPROOF. There ID even no
use for the little channel made 10 carry Oh the
inevitable leakage, as there lie no leakage at all.
/ The scond principle il n grand one. Ii enables a
TAILOR % steer the heaviest irOn-cad by the MD o.
looking gass. You know tLai no compass can per
form its functions within such an iron PRISON n- "a
tnrret. The ma ghetto needle acts suggifhly and IL
lfeless pointing never correctly. There wa
another difficulty 10 overcome. IL has been removed
in a beautiful manner. The reflection OF the COM
pass movements is conveyed 10 the hemsman
through mirror, tie compass solf being raised
far above the deadeung influence Of the iron house.
In battle the compass is removed, II being only es-
ueuual al sea.
The third principle tried is the general sea-goine
qualities Of the new Monitors. Beng water-iight,
where alone water could always come, they are sale.
If waves reached tho top Of the iurrei they mny
wash over but cannot drown anybody. Tie steadl-
ues. Of the craft il wonderful. Moving through the
rouehesi tide che Is M free from rolling ~ one could
well imagine; with fine engines she might steam
around tie wclld. We are ordered TO Washington.
What il the business on hand for il is not for nc
to eay if / knew. Bat Monitor No. Is successful,
and that il good newf enough Tor one letter.

Special Dispatch to The N. Y. Tribune.
WAsHISGT0N, Monday, Dec l. 1852
The following has been received from one Of your
spec:al correspondents with Burnside's Army:
OPPOSITE FRRDERiCKsBURG Va, Monday, Dec l. 1852
In accordance with orders from Headquarters, the
Ambulance Corps is being thoroughly drilled for
conveying the wounded from the field during battle,
snd is increased by detail of one corporal and six
men from each regiment TO act as liter-bearers.
The order forbiddng any other men, under any pre-
text, to leave the ranks for carrying the wounded to
the rear, il rightly enforced, will prevent great
deal Of Striking and struggling.
No supplies Of vegetables have yet been distpbu.
.ed, though they were promised several days ago.
Some regiments have been without vegetables of
any kind for weeks. The bilious diseases and symp-
toms Of scurvy grow worse. The failure to meet
this simple but vital want is the result Of oulpabe
negligence somewhere in the Commissary Depart
meut The surgeons and officers have been calling
earnestly for them ever since VIC arrived here.
Csnnonadng was heard for few minutes ten or
fifteen miles down the Rappahannock last hight,
supposed TO proceed from the gunboats.
