mand of Captain Wright, was on her way to
Port Royal, her engine broke down and she
was forced to remain some hours near Bow

Rapahannock river. A party of rebels, prob
ably thinking she was not armed, put off from
the south side of the river in five or six boats,
in which were about fifty persons, observed
and made towards the Dragon. But, before
they had approached too near, Capt. Wright
let fly shell, which exploded in one of the
boats, and they hastily turned and put for the
shore. With glass the officer saw the men
were dressed in various uniforms, and it was
probably guerrilla band. The Dragon was

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
Dec. Last night was intensely cold, and
some of the troops suffered for the want of
blankets. Ice formed in the Potomac and
Aqua Creek from l IL to inches thick.
To-day the sun came out fair and cheering,
but the air continued to be piercing cold. The
roads are hard and very rough.
Officers well informed state that jackson
has arrived near Fredericksburg and joined
his forces with those already there; there also
reports that the enemy have extended their
lines several miles further down the Kappa
hammock.
The report that Maj. Spaulding of the en-
gineer brigade is under arrest for Unnecessary
delay in the transportation of pontoon trains
from Washington, is unfounded. That officer
has been commended by his superiors for
overcoming weighty obstacles in executing his
orders There have been no field movements
