Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1862-12-31

A dispatch from the headquarters of the
Army of the Potomac states that matters con-
tinued quiet on the Rappahannock. The Con-
federate cavalry under Gen. Stuart, 1t is said,
were near Chantilly, % miles SOL thwest Of
Alexandria on Monday evening, evidently
falling back towards the lines Of their army
Another dispatch says that Gen Stuart was
at Burke's Station, on the Alexandra and
Orange railroad, twelve miles from Alexandria,
on Monday, and encamped there. We have,
however still later re ports, concerning Stuart's
Cavalry, which will be found under the Tele
graphic head.
General John A. Dix has been assigned to
duty as commander Of the military department
Of New York, vice General X u. Morgan, who
resigns.

Foraging.

! An army CORE spondent Of the New York
/ Tribune, writing from Tobago Bay, thirty
/ miles below Fredericksburg, On Christmas Day,
says: lH
.'Four thousand cavalry are now guarding the
| ri;4er from six miles below Fredericksburg to
Tcbago bay, subssting entirely upon the rich
planters in the valley. Not an ounce of food
of any kind has been brought to them from
the depot at Falmouth. Men and horses are
living upon the very best the valley can pro
duce and I doubt if there is table In New
/ York on this Christmas Day covered with
greater variety of dishes than many beneath the
tents and booth-huts of our cavalry officers. =
The sailors, too, upon the gunboats, are really
getting tipsy upon the domestic wine they
have managed to get hold of by some under
ground transportation.
In the general pillage of hen-roosts and eel
lars. the faithful servants, of which we hear
50 much, are by no means mere idle spectators.
They have always been accustomed to having
at least full wsek for their Christmas sports,
and being fully aware that the First OF January
is rapidly approaching, in many OF the negro
huts they are jubllant beyond description. Our
soldiers are dining finely to-day, but doubt 1t
they are faring more sumptously than their
colored brethren. | passed long row Of ne
gro huts upon one of old Fitzhugh 5 plantations
this morning, and found the blacks enjoying
| themselves hugely. Some were singing and
dancing, others were eating and drinking, a
few old crones, ugly as Satan; were ly1ng, IN
the warm sun, seemingly Indifferent whether
the world moved or not, but the great ma orlty
evidently knew that new day was dawning
for them, and that the presence Of the Nation
al army in their midst would hasten it's ap-
proach. In the negro huts all was joy, and
mirth, and gladnees, but in the big old mansion
not far off, all was darkness, discomfort and
gloom. .
J GEN. BUBLER. R.-It will readily be remember
ed that Gen. Butler, shortly after he took pos
session Of New Orleans ordered the execution
of several men for violations OF military law.
Among these was Clary, who left widow and
four children in East! Boston,; and his widow
has since given birth to another child. Her
great calamity almost made her insane, but
Kind friends soothed her sorrow and provided
her with the means of tiding over her con-
.fnement. Since then she has labored with her
needle to support herself and family, and as
she is a lady Of blalneless character and great
industry, she is well supplied with work.
One OF her friends. percelvlng the ad-
vantage she would derive from sewing ma
chine, wrote note to Gen. Butler, briefly sta
ting Mrs. Clary's wants. The General, trans
| mitted by return of mail, seventy five dollars,
Mrs. Butler was very kind to Mrs. Clary when
she heard Of her great misfortune. Phil. Eng.

Reply From Ex-President Buchanan.
To The Editors OF the National Inteiligencer.
With few remarks shall close the con.
troversy with general Scott, into which
have been most reluctantly forced by his vol
untary and unexpected attack. This has,
nevertheless, afforded me an opportunity of
correcting many unfounded reports which I
had long borne in patience and in silence. In
my answer, have already furnished clear
aud distinct response to all the allegations Of
General Sc,tt and in his rel Under he has
not called in question any of my statements,
with single exceptions. Which Of us is cor
rect in this particular depends upon the ques.
ton whether his recollection of an event
which occurred more than eighteen rconths
ago, or the statement Of Mr. Holt, reduced to
writing on the very day, is entitled to the
greater credit.
AN ALLEGED OFFICIAL REPORT.
The General, in the introduction of his re.
joinder, assigns as an excuse for the criticism
on my public conduct that this was merely
incidental to his alleged official report to
President Lincoln en- the condition of our for.
tificatons, and was not primarily intended
for myself From this statement one would
conclade that he had made sneh report
