Miscellaneous War News.

The Burnside expedition is now entire
" ready and waiting for orders to sail.
Il is stated that its destination has been
changed because of information given to
the rebels Of the point at which it was
aimed. Four or five of the best drilled
regiments of the army of the Potomac
will join the expedition.
The day of speculation in army con-
tracts is gone. Beside making an assign
ment, or an offer to assign contract ipso
tacto forfeiture of it, the new practice
of the war department is to require that
parties offering to make muskets, shall
own machine shops, and possess in money,
skill and experience, the guarantees that
they can punctually and completely fill
contracts.
The prisoners recently returned from
Richmond confirm the report Of negro reg
lments being in the field. They have
white field officers and black line officers,
non-commissioned and privates. They
also state that large bodies of troops have
gone down to Yorktown. and say that
there are over 10000 troops there, besides
which additional heavy batteries have
been erected on both sides of the York
River. '."

LETTERS FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

The writer of the following will be re-
membered by many as young man who
was some time in the employ of R. S.

writes to Mr.. Page:

ness. But now they lie in distant State
far from home and friends. They died
without the soothing presence of beloved
mother or dear sister to make their last
moments easy With sadness | turned
my steps towards my tent, thinking of
how many changes there had been, and
how startling were the events of the past
year. What will the next year bring
forth; will it bring peace and happiness
to our beloved country? 1t is my desire
that in less than one year this rebellion
may be put down and jeff Davis hung.
Col. Hyde does all he can for the CON-

will tell you how our squad have fix-
ed up for mild Virginia winter. Our
first act was to split out quantity OF
chestnut spiles l-2 feet long, fiat like
barrel slaves and sharpened at one end.
We then took down our tent and dug
a ditch on the inside of the circum-
ference IL feet deep and drove the
spiles in it, making a complete circle.
We then dug out the middle and made
solid embankment on the outside, slanting
so that the rain would run off. We then
placed the tent on this parapet leaving us
a basement Of 3 feet which makes quite
an addition to our limited room. We
raised our beds about one foot from the
ground so that We can sweep under them.
The Quartermaster gave US sheet iron
stove that looks like an inverted funnel.
This we set on fiat stone and with the
help of little red oak wood, we will live
comfortable through the remainder of the
winter. Some of the men built log huts
which they covered with coat of " sacred
SOIL" but these are inferior to the tents
properly arranged. There is now but lit
tie doubt but that we will winter where
we are. 1t is as good place as we could
find outside of city.

Mr.. EDITOR These are strange and
surprising times. Last evening it being
the close of New Years day, just as it be-
gan to sprinkle. the writer observed a
strange looking team coming up street
Following it with his eye, as it came
nearly opposite the parsonage, there was
an evident intention of calling up. Next
look and they had actually stopped. Who
in the world could it be. First thought
it was old friends from distance, but the
heads were too numerous for that
there being t,celue. Next thought it was a
company of rowdies out on "spree," but
such are not apt to call on the minister
when on "bender." Well, there was
a bustling and in minute in they come,
stamping and laughing. Have you got
anything to eat? we want something to
eat" fell from dozen lips. AT first they
seemed somewhat unceremonious. In
came the bags and pals; in tumbled a
barrel. and we hardly knew what to make
of such strange movements. However,
on the whole they proved quite civil aud
rather agreeable. About o'clock they
seemed bound on refreshments. To this
we had no particular objections, as they
had brought the necessary implements
with them.
1t was surprise party from North
Wolcott, come down to see the minister
and family. We felt surprised-glad--
grateful. They went away between II
and ~ o'clock, leaving their images
pressed more deeply in our hearts than
ever. They also left benefit amounting
to between SIS and 90 dollars ......

The SECESSION PLOT ELEVEN YEARS OLD.
Som. startling documents have been found
at Beaufort, S. Co. proving the existence
of an organized association to dissolve the
federal Union, fogmed in October, 1860.
1t was called the Southern rights asso-
citation of St. Helena parish" and includ-
ed nearly all the planters lawyers, and
influential reen,. among whom'were Rhetts.
Barnwells, dc Trevilles, and. other :" L.
F.'s." The record Of this reasonable
conclave were discovered IN the Office of
the secretary, Charles E.. Bell, an eminent
lawyer of Beaufort. The closing words of
one of the resolutions adopted betrays the
spirit of this whole association and the OBJ.
jcct for which they labored -" We will
agitate, agitate, agitate this question, un-
til we shall finally dissolve all political
connection with the North. and establish
q government at the South with new
guards for our future security" The al
legged cause of dissatisfaction was the com
promise measures of 1850, which did not
yield enough Of northern rights to satisfy
the southern obligarchy; but there is not
a shadow of doubt that the vipers of Sc,
cession have been warmed and nursed in
to active and terrible life from eggs laid
by the nulli6ers Of l84l. several years
before the anti.slavery agitation aroused
the free states to The nature of their foe.
The prediction of that clear-headcd pat.
riot, Andrew jackson. that the slavery
or negro question" would be seized as the
next pretext for disunion. is verified by
written proofs from South Carolina law
Offices. 1t is q curious fact. indicating
the treacberous hearts of these secc ssion
leaders and the connivances of democratic
administrations in their plots, that sever.
al of them have held federal Offices since
they enlisted in the disunion association.

to place them in the possession of the
guard upon the public square within "a

CAMP GRIFFIN, Dec, 81, 1861.

DEAR FRIEND:-Your kind letter come

nothing new to write about, things jog
along as usual except that sickness is fast
giving place to good health, and livelier
feeling is noticeable throughout camp. My
own health continues good. Time passes

yet. Fine warm days and frosty nights
are still the fashion, with smart rain
and wind blow once in about twenty days

the evening | visited Capt. Benton, and |
believe better feeling man is not to be
found in camp. Lieut.. Sumner looks we'll
and has not forgotten how to get off a
sharp joke. lie practices mostly at the
Captains expense. Phi. Crowell is we'll
and attends to duty we'll. The I'D, 4th
and 9th regiments have changed their
place of encampment, and have gone into
the woods and fixed themselves comfort
ably for the winter. Col. Hyde told me
that he expected to have his family visit
him soon. Our regiment has been mus
tered to-day, and we will be paid off about
the Goth Of next month. We were closely
inspected. and those who had lost any Of
their equipments will have them supplied
and charged to them.
Increasing confidence in the power Of
the government to suppress the rebellion,
makes all feel we'll We are all delighted
with the settlement of the Mason and Sill
