a correspondent VI the Columbus ga En-
7pirsT, whiting from Culpepper Court House,
Virginia, 1llh inst, says that the army of the
Potomac broke up winter quarters on Saturday
morning, ana took up the line Of march for Cor
donsville. The weather was fDe, and the troops
got along we'll The writer says:
It-is reported hat the enemy crossed Club
Run bEld s. raIs morning iu pursuit, but whether
they viii dare Hy 80 come ug vi US, is doubt
fui They aEe afraid o. Manassas, and s5 they
will have 70 pass LAT celebrated battle field
should they dcsUe 10 come up with US, we do not
much fear them.
Our regiment is getting along finely, and
seems to stsEd The march very well The Co
iuubus Ga.rds and company from the Georgia
regulars are leading the advance, and we that
are bebild taen have 10 push along and keep
moving 10 stsv ia their vicinity when time to
camp comes. Our tents and all extra baggage
have been burned, with a considerable amount
-Of quaTlrTnEsler aud c5lmissaTy stores, the
transportation not being sufficient TO enable us
to 0riHg them. Several hundred good blankets
were buued by cur regiment alone, and other
regiments have destroyed an equal number; and
al, Bia9g the road you can see blankets and
Bn5PsscKs t1at Eaya been cast Of by our Door,
tooLslrs lg'lisIs. some Who were sick were
allowed % ss Into the aIbUlsuces but were
compelled ta throw away their blankets, etc as
Il vgl5 as much as The teams could do TO pull the
sick.
Quite an amusing scene occurred Yesterday

tigue 20 ''tgls' rails and FIJI Up bad place in
the 1886 when one soldier sgid lie could not tote
