From THE CAMBRIA GUARDs.-We
take the following extract from private
letter, dated Camp on Seminary Hill, near
Alexandria, Va, March %, 1862: "0n
Monday, 10th inst, at liz A. NJ, we were
ordered to pack up. p. NJ. saw the Re-
serve, with light hearts but heavy loads,
marching up the Georgetown and Lees
burg turnpike, from Camp Pierpont We
followed the pike for about eight miles,
then turned to the left along"the Spring
dale road, by-road ankle edeep with mud
Crossed the Alexandria and Heesburg
turnpike about two miles above Ford's
Mills thence through woods, mud and
water till 10 P. NJ, when we encamped on
hill above Hunters Mill, two miles
above Vienna, on the railroad. 1t was a
very severe march, and great number
gave out. Next morning we were up and
had our coffee bright and early, expecting
~ 10 OF
IN early hour, and have brush with the
F.F. VS.. Imagine our disappointment,
then, when a despatch was received in
forming US that such was destined to not
be the case. We laid there until Friday.
1t G7 p. NJ. commenced the retrogressive
march, and marched till 10 or II P NJ,
when we encamped On 4 hill above Ford's
MIL It rained all night. In the morn
ing, it was found that the creek was not
fordable where the bridge had been burnt,
on the L. & A. pike. Next morning we
resumed the march Took back The same
road we had come until within three miles
Of Pierpont. At II M.-the rain by this
time falling in torrents-we turned to the
right. At 5 o'clock, we eucamped in
thicket Of woods along side the Aiexan-
dria and Leesbur pike. Had marched
eighteen miles, and were :hen about thir-
teen miles from Alexandria. The ground
was covered with water, and, although
weary and tired, bit few of US slept any
during the night. The rain ceased about
l 4. NJ. on Sunday. AT 10 O'Clock, we
took up the line of march, and reached
our present camp about 4 P. ". I cannot
describe sle march--sufice it to say, it
was horrible Mud up to the knee al
most every step of the road, the rain fall
ling IN torrents, obliged to encamp on the
cold, yet ground, end no covering but the
little teuts we carry along Seven men
died of fatigue and exposure in the Divis-
ion, but none from our regiment. The
boys, as general thing, enjoy excellent
health We expect to leaTe for another
scene of action to-morrow-going per wa
ter-don't know where to--kave an idea
but presumptions are contraband here
about just now"
At latest accounts, the Reserves were
still stationed near Alexandria.
