A correspondent of the Watchmaa, pn-
der date of Jan. 81, writes: Our camp
presents very lively appearance at pres
ent. Two companies Of Infantry and
the Light battery recruited at Montpelier,
have come into camp within the last three
days, making quite an addition to our
numbers. The barracks were full to over
flowing last night, but two more will be
erected to day. Each one will accom-
modate some sixty soldiers. They are
made of matched boards, which are
brought on the ground in sections, and
readily transformed into comfortable
buildings. Thus far all of them have
been on range running nearly east and
west, but those to be erected are to be on
the western boundary Of the camp, and
at right angles with those already built.
The berths in which the soldiers sleep are
ranged on each side of the room, and are
four to five deep. and from three to four
long; differing somewhat in their con.
struction.

have had two little snow squalls, one
about ten days ago. The snow fell to the
depth of two inches and lasted one week.
Last night we had another fall of two
inches, but it looks now as if it would be
off in less than twelve hours. 1t has been
rather thawey here for the last week which

from "a hours guard duty, did not have
to fall into the ranks till retreat parade,

brigade drill at half-past l o'clock. which
lasts till about shutdown. Many of the

Surgeon,-who, by the way, is the right
man in the right place-and get excused
from drill, until Gen. Brooks called upon
him and told him he would not have it.
But after all we rather like the old Gen.
eral, Notwithstanding he is rather rough
and rigid.
Are you we'll fed and well clothed I? are
questions that are often asked in letters
from home. In reply, would say, We
have plenty Of good plain wholesome
food to eat, and we can now draw any
necessary article of clothing from the
Quartermaster's department except flannel
underclothes. To be sure q part Of the

Jan. 18th, 1862.
EDITOR FREEMAN One of the general
topics of the day discussed in the camps
of the Vermont regiments, is the merits
and dement's of an order issued some time
since by Gen. Brooks, who commands the
Vermont brigade, which is to the effect
that every enlisted man under his COM
mand shall wear shoes on all occasions
The order was issued some time ago, hut
The men were disinclined to throw away
their boots that they had sent all the way
to Vermont for or had paid four or FIVE
dollars per pair for here, to wear through
the mud of the sacred soil of the Old Do
minion, which is in many places four or
five inches deep during the winter season.
But few days since, the old General
pitched into" our Colonel, and gave him
a pretty hard setting up" according to
all accounts, because he had not enforced
his order In the regiment under his COM
mand. Gen. Brooks reasons for such an
order were, that some few men put on new
boots to 90 out on scouts, &C., and conse.
quently they hurt their feet SO badly that
they had to fall out" Some few. also,
would go out to drill contrary to orders
with the legs Of their pantaloons tucked
into their boots.
Gen. Brooks is strict disciplinarian
and knows what soldiers life is, as he
first shouldered q musket as q private,
and served in the Florida war. Some Of
the men under bis command built some
log huts awhile ago to winter in. but be
made them tear them down. and told
them that he would live in tent as long
as he followed soldering and that the
men under him must and should also.
This brigade has gained great efficiency
in drill under his direction. Before he
took the command Of this brigade the

sY A Fort Monroe letter to the Phil
adelphia Inquirer gives variety of South
ern news of questionable authenticity, de-
rived from the prisoners just released from
Richmond. which may be summed up as
follows. That there is reaction going
on in favor Of the Union that the South
erners are very fearful their troops will
not rc-enlist in the spring that there are
but few soldiers at Richmond; that fires
are very numerous in the Southern towns,
and that large numbers Of slaves have
been shot, hung, and burned at the stake
for insubordination.

A Rebel View Of the Necessities Of Theis-
Situation.

A Rebel View Of the Necessities Of Theis-
Situation.
The Richmond Eraminer Of Jan. 10TH.
has review of the campaign thus far. D
summing up Of results, and some sugges-
tons for the future. It condemns the defen--
sive policy, which it says has thus far
given the rebels no material advantage,
while it has given the Federal Govern
ment time to raise immense armies, and
equip great fleets, and threaten the Con-
federacy upon all sides. 1t says -
Generals Joseph Johnston and Bcaurc-
gard are held by Mcclellan on the Poto-
mac as in vice. A gigantic armament
is ready to attempt the descent of the
Mississippi, and their fleets on the Allan
tic sea coast and the Gulf are too freshly
before the public attention to require re-
membrapce, Such are tho fruits Of a
policy purely defensive. Without even
the hesitancy which would come of a pos,
sible interruption, the enemy have thus
surrounded the Southern Confederacy
and it permitted to repeat, as often as may
be desired, their efforts to penetrate its
heart, they will necessarily attain the
place and the time where success awaits
them,
1t then gives its own plan of operations
as follows:
There is now but one chance of escape
from the net that has been coolly drawn
around US it is to concentrate our energy
on one point and cut it through to con-.
vert our defensive into an offensive war,
and transfer the scene Of at least a part Of
these hostilities to the enemy's own coun-
try, Situated as we are, it is only posi-
bic at one point--and that is Kentucky.
If the forces that we are dispensing to the
corners Of the continent every day, "a nee.
new menaces were collected under the.
hand of Gen, Sydney Johnston, till o
column was formed sufficient to enable
him to maneuver with some possibility Of
success over the plains Of that region, he
might hurl back the array in front Of him
at present, and penetrate Ohio"
Isn't it possible that the recent glorious
achievement of the Union troops at som:
erset will disarrangc even the excellent
plans Of tho Erasaiaerf
