HAMPTON RoADs, Dec IL. 1862.
The Colorado re ordered to steam away from the
Roads at y o'clock this P. m. She expects 10 pass
Cape Hatteras tomorrow mcning. Beside her
own armameIr, end munitions, she carries hence
large amount o. ordnance stores which she has de-
layed here to .ske in. All is quiet and rather de-
cidedy dull IN and around the Fortress Beside the
troops mentioned in my ktter: of yesterday, there
are several sqnadrons Of New-York and Pennsyl-
vana light artillery encamTed north Of the Fortress
considerable body Of troops arrived here en- route
but whithsr must not yet'se told.
Yesterda7 we buried rom the Colorado young
man who Skipped at Ney-York, named Charles j.
Brown, 20 native Of Connecticut. IL was an impress
siys sight as the two toats containing the funeral
party rcwed sowly landward, over the tossing
waves fer the Roads were very roughh with Tags
indieatirg the sad nature Of their erraud ashore.
The various vessels in the harbor, the English ill.,
claded dropped their flags to hah-mast, IN respect
10 the ssior On account of a misunderstanding IN
regard 10 which q the cemeteries the grave wac
opeue1 in, we pc formed long detour before we
found .le one where we lett the body OF our snip
pIate. As your paper crcuates largely ID Con-
nectc.t have mentioned bis death IN hope that II
may meet the eve Of his friends. He died OF pneu-
mona; was attended assiluously by the surgeons
and chaplains; tied peacefully; and we laid his
body 10 the narrow house In the buryinggroun OF
the Mcclellan General Hospital. 1 understand that
he was m .rried lately in Albany or Troy.
All is now bas,le and expedition on board-taking
10 ordnance and getting ready to move
Is haste, MANIA.
