or with any one within the euemy's lines.
SecOnd-An investigation Of his conduct
and the policy pursued by him towards
the Inhabitants of the country occupied by
our troops with reference TO themselves or
their property.
This matter, he says, has been severely
commented upon throughout the country
and in both Houses Of Congress, and may
possibly have had much TO do with the
charge of treason.
As to his conduct towards the Inhabit-
ants with reference to themselves he wishes
to offer his general order concerning rape,
robbery and pillage, and those with refer
ence to the interference with the railroad
and telegraph &c.
Third, As to whether he has been faith
ful to those placed over him.
Fourth, As TO whether he failed through
any unworthy personal motive to go to the
aid of or send reinforcements TO his brother
commanders.
Fifth, He asks an instigation into the
charge very generally made against him
and which affects seriously his-charaeter,
that of drunkenness.
Gen. Mcdowell also makes suggestions
as to certain Witnesses, among them Gems.

ACQUlA CREEK, Va, Nov. 25.-There is
little news from the Front to-day that can
be forwarded for publication. The two ar
mics still maintain their relative positions.
Doubtless the rebels are much misti6ed at
the delay in the threatened destruction of
fredericksburg. A few shots were fired
across the river by our artillery this NOR
ming, but there was no regular or continu-
Gus cauuonading.
Railroad communication has been OPEN
ed from here to Potomac Creek, and the
bridge across that creek is being construct
ed as rapidly as possible. The great heighth
of that structere, some 80 feet from the wa
ter, renders its reconstruction moro diff
cult than that of ordinary bridges. 1t will
be in available condition in day or two
more The use of the road even to the
bridge affords great relief to the transport
tatiOn service.
New buildings for the accommodation of
the officers of the Quartermrster's and other
Departmentsare going up here very rapidly,
and this place is assuming something of its
former business like appearance.
