Camp of First Mass. Volunteers,
Fairfax Station, Va, Nov. 10, 1862
Messrs. Editors:-After an absence of near
ly month, find myself again among the ia
miliar scenes of camp and bivouac, exchang-
ing the over-heated rooms and gl0rpy stoves,
to me so suggestive Of headache, ~ the tent,
and the cheerful camp fire. Fresh air, and a
plenty of it, is indispensable to one who has
become accustomed TO it by protracted service
in the field. Our Division, tSickles) has been
guardi.g the railroad from Bucks Station
three miles below hereto Manassas, besides
Fairfax Court House, and numerous commissa-
ry depots, all of which duty was entrusted by
the unfortunate Pope to a few companies, dis
trlbuted here and there. We have thus en-
sured the prompt forwarding of supplies to our
immense army in front, without danger Of
raids from the enemy's cavalry. Such raids
have not been entirely unexpected, but we
have had sufficient force to render them
rather dangerous experiments. Block houses
are in course of construction for the protec-
ion of all exposed points.
Since Sunday, vast quantities of quartermas-
ter and commissary stores have passed from
the front to the rear. This of course fur
nished material for all sorts of rumors of de-
feat, &c, at the front; but intelligent observ-
ers might see that movements of Importance
were in progress there which indicated, not
reverses, but change in front, necessitating
change in the channels of supply.
Before this, probably, the telegraph has in
formed you that our army is massed near
Fredericksburg, thus forcing the enemy to evac-
uate their strong line of defence beyond the
Rapidan, or securing an open road to Rich
mond. 1t was, of course, useless to think of
attacking them in front, for between the Rap
pahannock,and Rapidan is plateau, which
their elevated position on the other side could
easily command. Heintzelman's corps of vet
eran troops has been attached to Hooker's
Centre Grand Division, and portions of it are
already moving to join him. We are all in
hourly expectation of orders TO move. Com
Portable winter quarters are nearly completed
for our regiment, and we had hoped to occupy
them, but if our moving will in any way aid
In crushing the rebellion, no word of COM
plant will be heard.
Mrs. Thomas, whose husband was a LAWYER
at Fairfax Court House, and is now in one of
the Departments at Richmond, came here with
the Rebel advance few weeks ago, to look af-
terher husbands property at the Court House,
aud after acquiring all the information possi-
bic, intimates her willingness to accept pass
back TO Richmond, but as yet our authorities
"can't see it."

derer, is also comfortably situated here, in

The "Pie-Ous COW'' Vindicated,

Being iellow-boarder in the family to which
that 'pie-ous" cow belongs, upon whose epicu-
rean attributes the Advertiser spread itself so
grandiloquently yesterday, with its usual econ
omy of the truth, we feel called upon to refute
the vile aspersions of that vile sheet upon the
head of that most amiable creature. That vii
lifier stated that tAe COW put her horns against
the sash raised the window, and ate up the
pies and cookies; and that last Saturday, be
twixt the cleaning and the mirk, she feasted
on six excellent mince pies.' Doubly false
This peaceable creature, quiet and orderly,
walked into the kitchen, like any other board
er, and ate four mince pies, instead of six, off
the table. These are the facts and we trust
the Advertiser will have the grace to correct
the SANDER We humbly recommend to that
sheet a careful perusal OF the story of Ananias
and Sapphira, recorded in the 9TH chapter of
Acts.
The Courier, innocently misled, may learn a
lesson upon trusting such ambiguous prints.

TELEGRAPH
EVENING PAPERS.
From Fredericksburg.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 90.
A gentleman who left the army of the Poto-
mac to-day at 10 o'clock, says that eleven ad-
ditional hours had been given the authorities
of Fredericksburg to surrender the town.
NEws YoRk, Nov. "a.
The Herald's correspondent says that the
rebels in occupation of Fredericksburg have
demanded further time to consider the ques-
ton of its surrender.
On Friday night, after the interview with
the civil authorities. Gen. Sumner informed
them If they had any further communication
to present Gen. Patrick would meet them next
morning. On Saturday, accordingly, the May
or and Council came over, accompanied by
Gen. Kershaw, Col. Bland and Capt King, of
Georgia.
The officers claimed that the civil authori-
ties could make no proposition unless the
same was approved by them. Gen. Patrick
declined to receive these officers. Subsequent
ly, however, Gen. Burnside consented to their
reception, and the parties returned.
The civil authorities asked for an extension
OF the time allowed for the removal of the
women and children, alleging that the trains
have been frightened oil by our artillery, and
1t would be impossible for a train to leave be-
fore night, the city being absolutely destitute
of other transportation. The request was
complied with, and the time extended until IL
O'Clock yesterday morning.
From Harper's Ferry we learn that the ene-
my is keeping a strict blockade on our 'front.'
but there was no collision between the two
forces yesterday
The Heralds Falmouth dispatch says Fred
erieksburg appears to be utterly deserted, and
last night not a light was visible in the whole
city.
Camp fires indicate the presence of con-
siderable force in our front. Since Friday the
rebels have evidently received large accessions
to their forces, and there is no doubt Lee and
Longstreet are in our immediate vicinity
Both parties have admirable positions for
artillery, and there will doubtless be an aitil-
lery fight before we can establish our positions
across the river
On Friday night last explosions were heard
beyond Fredericksburg, but the cause was not
ascertained.
The inhabitants living along the route of the
military telegraph have already commenced
cutting the wires.
Stonewall Jackson's army was expected in
Salem ou Saturday. Great preparations were
being made by the citizens to feed them.
Gen. Sigel was presented yesterday with five
horses and equipments as a birthday present
from his staff.

President Lincoln firm upon Emanclpation
Secretary Chase's Report.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a
The Times Washington dispatch says: On
Friday President Lincoln, in the course of an
interview with unconditional Union Kentuck-
ans, discussed at length the question of eman-
cipation. He said that he would rather die
than take back word of the proclamation,
and dwelt on the advantages to the border
States of his scheme for the gradual abolish
ment Of slavery, which he urged them to bring
fairly before their people. They assured him
that it should be done.
Mr.. Lincoln also expressed his determina-
ton to enforce vigorous measures to rid the
State OF rebel sympathizers, and for that pur-
pose a new Provost Marshal General will be
appointed.
Secretary Chase's report will undoubtedly
contain an urgent recommendation to Con-
gress to take measures for the substitution of
the government for bank currency by taxing
the latter and making provisions for the cir
culation through the banks Of the former.
The Sturgis Rides. heretofore acting as a
body gnard to Gen. Mcclellan, are to be mus
