All At once, as if by miracle, the Coined
crate army seems to have been supplied with
an abundance of new wall tents, which they
arc bonr]v exposing to. our astonished vision
al ,]ong the hi]lsides from Falmouth to Fred
ericksburg.
Yesterday, scarcely Confederate flag could
be seen with the powerful glass used by the
signal corps; to-day the encampments OF large
army are ostentatiously displayed, but TOR What
purpose no one on this side has yet been lable
to discover.
In addition to advancing the troops, General
Lee has set them all at work all who have
been brought from behind the hills) digging r.
Aepits, throwing up entertainments, and re-
building and repairing the stone walls directly
opposite Falmouth, and bearing upon Pettlt's
batteries. Not to be caught mapping, General
Sumner has set to work still larger force
upon the same class Of de1ences, and to-day
thousands of spades, shovels and pick axes:
instead of bayonets, glitter in the sun on both
sides Of the river.
Just as the sun was dropping behind the
hills last evening heavy signal gun was heard
fired from the heights back of Fredericks burg,
echoing through the valley, and starting every
one from the repose which they have been
gradually dropping into since the battle At
the the same moment Ing column OF Conted-
crate infantry were seen to emerge from the
woods and move down towards the ford at Fal-
mouth as If with an intention to cross upon
the rocks and destroy the large quantity OF
uuartermaster and commissary stores at the
depot.
For an instant everything was in motion in
and around Falmouth. Two batteries dashed
down to the river and took position to give
them a warm reception if they persisted IN the
attempt The men at the guns on the hills
fully prepared themselves for charge.
Drums were beaten and bug les sounding,
and regiment after regment Of infantry sprang
to their arms, and in few amoments, were
ready orthe fight; but the long column which
looked SO formidable, and threatened SO much
halted long before it reached the river, and in
stead of forming in battle line, or making a
demonstration to cross, stacked their arms,
opened their haversacks sat down upon the
ground and commenced devouring their ra-
tons
Notwithstanding this rather amusing finale
Of the movement strong guard was kept up
on the ford all night in anticipation Of an at
tack This morning dawncd, the Confederates
were still where they rested during the night,
but instead of offering battle were exhibited
their clean linnen and white tents to our aston
ished gaze
THE EXPECTED PpocLAMATIoN- The Presi-
dent has been strongly pressed to place the
proclamation Of freedom upon high moral
grounds, and to introduce into the instrument

employed as an interpreter in New York, has
mysteriously disappeared. He has not been
seen for three weeks, and, as he is known to

is that he has been arrested by the Government

Maintaining the Peace. .---llast Summer,
when Capt g. was at Cherokee, Miss, in com.
mand of three or four Companies, guarding
the railroad at that important point, his COM
mand was greatly annoyed by the Secession
lists in that neighborhood, nearly all Of whom
had relations in the rebel army, and IN the
bush'whacking corps that we're securing
about the country. For his own safety he
was obliged to be very strict in the enforce.
ment Of order in the place aud vicinity
Among other things he issued an order to the
inhabitants to the effect that they should not,
in any way, be molested by his men, on condi
ton that they deported themselves courteous
.ly toward the troops, &c And, further, as
the confederate troops in the vicinity were OF
the families of those who remained, he would
hold the inhabitants responsible for hostilities
in the neighbOrhood. ~ ,,'" ~" 4, @H
d This order no doubt had the effect of pre-
serving the peace in that vicinity, for the rebel
cavalry and infantry were seen every day, but
they Abstained from making an attack on onr
lines, ostsnsibly there was good feeling
between our troops and the inhabitants, If we
may except one family who lived few miles
away. The father and two sons we're in the
Confederte army, and the ladies Of the family
were in the habit of driving by the Station
where our troops were, and Haunting little
confederate flags at them, and yelling, IN a
very unladylike manner, "Hurrah for JEFF
Davis down with the Yankee l''Yu bla
The soldiers got tired of these insults, even
from pretty women, and they applied to the
Captain for an order to stop it. He declined
acting in the case because the male-contsnts
were toomen; but he slyly observed to one of
his men that II he was priUate, he couldn't
say what he would dol lau
This hint was enough for the boys, and the
next time the ladies came along, the boys
gently relieved them of the aags. They made
great complaint about such treatment TO
ladies and their mother demanded Of the
Commander "if he permitted such insults to
defencsless women" Knowing how essen.
tial it was to their safety to secure the re-
spect Tor fear y of the community, the Cap
tain made this reply, in substance, to the
girls; t'a
"Supposing that the Haunting of confsder-
ate flags in the faces Of my men Was foolish
freak Of your daughters, I paid no attention
to the insults but I regret to learn by your
note that if you did not authorize il you Ap-
PrOyeh now respectfully iaform you that
should the insult be repeated, viii have your
family conveyed home, but will order that the
driver, carriage and horses be returned TO
these headquarters"
The Aag-performance was not again re-
peated.
