CAMP GROVER, 23d Me- Regt Mont
gomery Co., Nd, Nov. 25, 1862.
Dear Press:-When our regiment came in
to this region, five weeks ago last Sunday, the
Grand Army had not left Maryland subse-
quenty to the battle Of Antietam, the troops
having commenced crossing the river at Ber-
lin on the 25th, the day we marched from
Washington. There was ae that time much
excitement and an intense anxiety in and out
of camp, to know what was being done by
sour side towards driving the rebels beyond
the Blue Ridge. We heard frequent cannon
aiding in the northwest for while; rebel pris
oners were conveyed on the canal boats past
our camp, and colored contrabands from the
upper counties by hundreds, were also favored
with the same conveyance towards Washing
ton, at the expense of the Government. The
Potomac was then for weeks strongly guarded
night and day to prevent communication from
the other side with the rebels in Maryland, of
which there are "a few more left"
Thus it was while Mcclellan was skirmish-
ing with the enemy on its retreat to the noun
tains, and the interest Of the country was con-
centrated upon Snickers, Ashby's, and the
other "Gaps," and fearing that the ubiquitous
Stuart, or the intrepid jackson would circum-
vent the great "Strategist," and with dash
ing coup create another panic among the in
habtants of the Maryland and Penns ylvania
border.
Now, how changed. We no longer stop our
breathing to listen to distant guns above Lees
burg and beyond Winchester, but from the
southwest, the direction of the present opera
tions of the army, come daily the reports of
numerous cannon. The scene OF conflict is
rapidly nearing the traitorous city, whose his
tory, most probably, is yet to be recorded in
blood and we are eagerly expectant of the
successes which we feel sure will attend the
advance of Hooker, Sumner and Franklin, un-
the Union forces.
Today we have listened excitedly to an inces-
SAINT roar of artillery for hours, which we sup
pose must indicate severe engagement in the
vicinity of Fredericksburg. We may mistake
as to the locality, but from the latest intelli-
gence it is hoped that our cannon are summon
ing the hostile legions to surrender, or evacu-
ate and skedaddle.
1perceive that II correspondent of one fyour
! Journals reports that the removal of Gen. Nc
Clellan had "1ery depressing effect upon this
regiment" That report causes some mer-
riment here, and is considered to be "all in
! your eye" The report may be true, but can
didly, should say that no such effect was pro-
duced by the announcement of that momen-
| tous event in this command. One would sup
pose, to take a casual judgment of the present

EVENING PAPERS.
From Falmouth of the Rebels.

From acknowledgements of the Rebels.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.
The Times Falmouth, Va, dispatch states
that two deserters from the rebels, one a Tex
as Captain, the other a clerk in the rebel Quar-
termaster's department, gave report as fol-
lows The rebel force at. Fredericksburg
numbers from $1,000 to 100000 men, and cer-
tainly does not exceed the latter figure, and
that though suffering for want of clothing and
many kinds of supplies, they are still appar-
emily hopeful of final success. For once how
ever, Gen. Lee and his associates are puzzled
do not seem to fully comprehend, and have
finally concluded the advance on Fredercks-
burg to be a feint, designed to amuse them and
direct their attention from another quarter
Upon this theory they now believe our force
in from of Fredericksburg in reality to be
SMALL and that immense hosts are being EN-
barked at Bellplaine and conveyed in trans
ports up the James river. Acting upon this
idea they have commenced erecting earth
works for the protection of Il garrison force,
while the main body of the enemy has again
commenced moving toward Richmond.
1t is believed in official quarters that the
rebel force about Fredericksburg and within
call near enough to concentrate against us
when we cross the river is from 100000 TO
125.000
A special Washington dispatch says Pub
lie apprehension of insufficient forces ON the
Rappahannock may be relieved by the remark
which Gen. Burnside made in this city, that he
did not need another man for the work he has
to do, and that his confidence of success is
undoubting.

A Washington dispatch to the Times says
the rumors in regard to Gen. Megs' removal
are numerous and positive ON both sides, his
opponents affirming the certainty Of his dis
placement, and he scouting the idea with
characteristic positiveness. Gen. Burnside is
greatly incensed at the delinquencies in his
department, and lays the fault directly at his
door.
Gen. Woodbury. is said to have been placed
under arrest by order of the Secretary of War,
on account of negligence in forwarding the
pontoon bridges for the use of the army of
the Potomac in the late movement.

THE DISASTER ArFRONTR ROYAL

Col. kenley's command, just defeated at Front
Royal, consisted Of his own Maryland regiment
Of infantry, and three or four companies of Col.
Thornton Broadhead's regiment Of Michigan
cavalry. From all we can gather, we are satisfied
that the attacking rebel force consisted Of full
brigade, and therefore out numbered Col. K q
three or four to one Most OF the cavalry are safe
though we fear that mos; OF the infantry were
captured.
The telegraphic account Of the Union victory
at Lewisburg, Va, which we publish this after
noon, affords some consolation for this Front
Royal mishap.
