CHARLTSToWE, Va, MACH q
The main body Of Gen. Banks Division rests in
the vicinity of vhaiiestown. No disaster acci-
dent has occurred since the concentration at and
departure from Sandy Hook, to cause any anxiety
to the friends at homs.
Three inches of snow fel! to-day.
The hitherto rancorous secesslonists now pay
merked respect to the Federal uniform. The citi-
xens who have been compelled to succumb to rebel
torco, ea.ed with the prospects OF the future.
1t is gratifying to perceive that the country,
through which the army marched, bears marks
of the usual agricultural industry. 1t is apparent
that the future cereal crops Of this prolific region
have not been neglected. as may be supposed.
Town and country are destitute of imported arti.
cles Of consum ption. There is no lack Of bread,
meat and coarse clothes. Hundreds Of contra.
bands are hourly seeking refuge within our lines,
but they are allowed TO roam at large without
espionage or care in fact but little notice is taken
of them, except to prevent their return beyond
our post.
Tho general reports from Winchester are con-
aic,ing. and bu. little reliance can be placed en-
them. coming as they do from refugees and con-
tYabands. The military commsn1ers are undoubt-
edlv better informed than the public, and are
seauently prepared for any emergency which may
arise.
Considerable -four, accredited to the secession
army, has been seized, but private property has
been strictly respected.
Martusbury has been occupied by Union troops

Many of the prisoners of war at Alton have ex-
pressed from time to time desire to take the Cd tn

ing such desire have recently been examined by a
Commission appointed by Gen. Halleck. This
Commission, after proper investigation and de-
liberation, have decided to release 496 OF tho nrs
oners on their subscribing to the oath. Orders
have been sent to Alton for their rel casa.
The released prisoners are unanimous in de.
nouncing the men who urged them on to rebellion.
A letter fro1, Gen. Halleck to Gov. Ktrkwood.
OF Iowa, is published, in reference to the orler
censufing the I'd Iowa Regiment for the destruc.
tion and pil.sge of the Anatomical Museum in Nc.

iment is chargeabie with the act of its membeIs
until it exposes the guilty parties whenever that
Is done, the order, of course, will be revoked Gov
