The Army again on the Move.

New York, Nov. l8.-A Warren
ton correspondent OF the New York
Tribune says:
Burnside has not disappointed the
army, the administration or the people
at large.
The army of the Potomac is again
under marching orders. Gen. Sum
ner, now commanding two large
corps, is tn is morning en- route for an
important point, which, as it will take
rwo or three days to reach, Will not
name.
The rebels Of this village, in order
to console themselves upon seeing this
great host march through their suee $
are circulating reports that Jackson
has fallen from his mountain nights
upon our rear, and that we are rap
idly fleeing from him. Queer that two
should fly from one, and that in the
direction OF Richmond. All that
Jackson can now get in our rear he is
welcome to have. Gen. Lee will re-
quire the services of Gen. Jackson in
front, if he has not already been order
ed to join the main body of the rebel
army.

Order Respecting the Observance OF

The following general order has
been issued respecting the observance
of the Sabbath day in the army:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D c., Nov. lG
The president, commandments
Of the army and navy, desires and en-
joins the orderly observance OF the
sabbath by the officers and men IN the
military and naval service. The lm~
portance for man and beast of the
prescribed weekly rest; the sacred
rights of Christian soldiers and sailors;
a becoming Difference to the best sens
timent of Christian people, and due
regard for the divine will, demand
that Sunday labor in the army and
navy be reduced to the measure OF
strict necessity. The discipline and
character ofth national forces should
not suffer, nor the cause they defend
be imperiled by the proclamation OF the
day or the name Of the Most High.
AT this time of public distress, adopts
ing the words of W ashington in l776
"men may find enough to do in the
service of God and their country
without abandoning themselves to vice

order issued by the Father Of his

The principal event yesterday worthy Of
mention was the Smelling of York own by
one of the gunboats. She moved up to the
mouth of Wormley creek dnring the morn
ing, opening a well directed FIRE on their
works which was. promptly answered by
the rebels. The boat then fell back a dis
lance of three miles from Yorktown, when
she again opened FIRE, the shell exploding
each time within the enemy's works, but
obtained no response. A few shells were
fred during the day along the whole line
to keep the rebels from strengthening their
works. No one was injured. It is raining
again to-day bat the indications are it will
soon clear up.
The object of the flag Of truce sent to the
enemy's line on Tuesday by Gen. Mcclellan,
was to effect an exchange of four rebel
prisoners for q similar number of our
wounded in their hands, in order that they
might be better cared for. The a1syer
showed they were not disposed to cor1ply
with the request but the wounded had not
sent to Richmond. ~ -

Colonel of the Goth Massachusetts, regiment

and has had his left leg ampptated. He is

CAMP NEAR SPARTA. Va. :
April 18th. 1862


Several deserters and refugees corrobo-
rate previous reports that Jackson, after
flying from our advancing column on Fri
day last, pushed forward to a point one
mile North of Harrisonburg where the turn
pike branches to the left, passing Magaugh-
eystown, on the South fork of the Shannan-
doah and the Blue Bidge, and running
thence to Gordonsville. Jacksons wagon
train had been pushed towards Staunton.
but hearing that that town was in posses
sion Of the Union troops, he remanded it
to Harrisonburg
AT an early hour Saturday morning.
Jackson, with his whole force and train.
took the Gordonsville pike, and at last ac-
counts had reached Msgaugheystown. o.
Saturday night squadron of the Ist Yer
mont cavalry, whilst scouting tie Luray road
beyond Massamittea Mountain, fell in with
q body of the enemy's cavalry. a skirmish
ensued, resulting in the capture of seven of
the enemy and eleven of their horses. None
of our men were hurt, but Lieutenant
had his horse shot under him. Jackson's
retreat from this valley has had beneficial
effect upon the volunteers and drafted men
from Rockingham and the surrounding
counties. Large numbers of them are
daily coming into our lines and delivering
tucuSc1NeS up
1t Is stated that hundreds of them are
now in the mountains, hiding from Ashoy's
scouts, only awaiting an opportunity to
make their escape and claim the protection
of General Banks. One who came yester.
day reported that be found barn some
miles hence, where were concealed 16 refl-
gees and deserters who will probably come
in to-day. A portion of Ashby's cavalry
are scouting on both sides of the mountain
near Harrisonburg, watching our move
meats and endeavoring to catch deserters.
The main body is, however, believed to
have gone with Jackson, wherever be may
be. The refugees and deserters are turned |
over to Lieut.. Col. Bachelor, Provost
Marshal, and examined by General Banks |
staff.
DR.. Baxter, late Asst. Surgeon OF the |
Wisconsin Bird, has been appointed Medical
Purveyor of this Department, and is tenn
porarily stationed at Strasburg. It is a
fact worthy of notice that the rebel hospi- |
tails are models of comfort, convenience and |
cleanliness.

The thanks dispensedsby Gen. Halleck tC
5 Sen. Grant and his officers and men, and
bis continuance in command, established
the fact that the geneEalship was according
to the art of war. 1t was very improper
for the enemy to be out over night, when
honest men ought to be in their beds. Out
for the enemp to attack US when our strate-
gy had appropriated that part to ourselves,
was irregular, and calculated to bring the
art of war into disrepute.
Fortunately, scapegoats having been
made of two regiments, nothing but honor
was lef To give this greater point, thanks
should be given to the General and brigade
that surrendered. They who surrender
easy will never disgrace their State By run
ming. Of course the fact that the men are
volunteers is sufficient to cover all the sins
of generalship. They are exorted to great
er discipline. Perhaps if they had disci-
pine they might meet charge of bayonet
just as well asleep as awake.
Yet the chief blame must fall on the en-
envy who attacked us when our strategy
did not provide for it. How can there be
any honorable, :high-toned warfare, when
me enemy thus abuse our coniding dispo-
'ition? Under the circumstances it seems |
| military necessity to thank Gen. Grant |
md retain him in command. He was but |
arrying out the strategy. If generalship |
8 enqoired into, there is no telling where /

rised, Gen. Grant thanked, and the army

| quarters being in the house OF Mr.. Lacey
an aid to the rebel Gen. Smith.
The hotilla succeeded in clearing the
Rappahannock of distractions and reached
Fredericksburg on Saturday.
Work has commenced on the Acquia
Creek and Fredericksburg railroad which
will soon be in running order.
The railroad bridge over the Rappahan-
mock will be immediately rebuilt. Much
valuable Information relative to the course
and condition of the roads south of us has
been obtained from the contrabands and
residents of Alexandria. An immense
amount of -four remained in Fredericksburg,
and over a thousand bushels of corn are
now at the mills being ground for the use
of the troops.
The cotton factory at Falmouth continues
to run as usual. The report of barbarities
perpetrated on our men at Bull Run have
not been exaggerated. The rebels dug up
the remains of our soldiers, made spurs of
their jaw bones, cutting up their skeletons
into every conceivable form, sending the
trinkets home to their friends.
The rebel army is reported as being
greatly demoralized by the Union victories, |
