We are again in our old camp, abouttW
miles northwest from Frederioksbnrg.-
Our forces returned here on Monday night
after the bloody fight Of Saturday. On last
Thursday morning our Brigade was order
ed out and moved to the vicinity OF the riT.
er opposite the upper end OF the towu Of
Fredericksburg, where they lay in line OF
battle until Friday morning, aud then CROSS
ed the river on pontoon bridges, under COW
er of our artillery. Friday morning was
one moot favorable to an undertaking of
this kind, as the smoke completely euvel-
oped our bridges, aud movements, so that
we were only annoyed by a few random
shots from the enemy's batteries. Assoon
as they had crossed the "Rubicon" they
were formed into battle line under cover of
the buildings Immediately on the bank Of
the river, and thus lay until Saturday
morning. During the time that they were
here, the enemy's artillery and Sharp
shooters annoyed them very mueh-the
former by nn occasional shell, and the lat.
ter by firing with unerriug precision on eV-
cry one who dared to show himself on the
streets. On Saturday morning thewished
for order came directing our Brigade to

move in a position which required the
Brigade to move by the right flank for soma
distance, say one or two squares, and then
to go directly forward about four squares,
