ably good condition. Your readers would be greatly
as,onished If / could inform them Of the vast
amount Of work done here in one single day.
The awful weather, the ike Of which has not
been experienced here for 20 years-as / am III
formed by Mr. johnson, who is an old resident
and which has retarded TIE movements Of Gen.
Mcclellan, has now taken favorable turn, and we
have been blessed, during tie past week with sue
ccssion Of as fine days as could he wished for, with
every appearance of & continuance.
Prisoners are being brought in every day, by our
cavalry pickets. Six were brought in Last evening,

They will be kept here until the number shall
be increased, when they will be sent on TO
Fortress Monroe.
