cavalry near MirChell's Station, three miles
southwest of Culpepper. The rest OF the
army is quiet.
We now hold all the ground in Culpep.
per county we held six weeks ago.
The rebel soldiers are well ted. Through
new winter camps on the south side Of the
Rappahannock our advance guard found
scattered sbOut numerous tin cans once
filed with prepared meats and vegetables,
and were interested 10 find ON them BAlti-
more and New York labels.
Lees troops are hard up for shoes and
clothing.
Lees purpose to winter between the
Rappahannock and Rapidan is further
proven by their preservation Of the rail-
road connecting the two rivers, but the
rebels on their retreat across. the Rapidan
destroyed the railroad bridge which spans
that stream.
Surgeon General Hammond is wholly
exOnerated from the charges Of malteasance
in Office, and will soon resume charge Of
the medical department of the army.
NRW YORK, November ia headquAr.
tiers despatch dated the 18th, to the Herald

Large achievements of workmen and
several car loads of ties aud rails came up
to-day for the completion Of the railroad to
Culpepper. The railroad will be working
to CulPePPer and the RaPidan by Monday
night.
All quiet at the front except by the move
mentOfOur troops. We occupy with strong
infantry force the old battle field of Cedar
Mountain tonight.
A Herald Washington special says af
fairs at the front remain unchanged. The

evidently awaiting an advance of our

Adviees from Pensacola state that the

The Tribune has the following:

IA few shots were sent after body of |
rebel scouts yesterday, to the lett Of Oul-

There is NO truth in the rumor that Lee |
has left the army of northern Virginia. He |
occupied the camping ground which was |
our headquarters on Tuesday, near Brandy /
Station. Citizens have cOnVeFsed with him, |
aud several envelopes addressed to him
we're also found.
A cavalry reconnaissance was made in
the night TO within a few miles of Madison /
G. II. No live rebels were found; but the /
bodies Of dead ones killed by fitzpatrick in
his late advance upon that village, lay upon
the ground where they fell.
Clark and ThorOughfare mountains are
again occupied as rebel signal stations, and

Not long since, case of suffering and
destitution came to the knowledge of the
pupils in one of tue departments Of the
Third Ward public schoOl Of this city
It was learned that German woman, the
widow of Federal soldier, with Eve help
less children, herself sufferer by sickness,
was living upon the Island, without fuel,
and almost entirely destitute of food aud
clothing. When the facts of the case be-
came known to the aforenamed pupils, the
hearts of the young heroes and heroines
were stirred with compassion, and measures
were forthwith inaugurated for the relief
of the suffering family. Contributions of
money aud of various articles of clothing
were forthcoming,-a load of coal was fur
nished. the children were comfortably clad,
and thus the hearts of the widow and the
orphans were made glad by the efforts of
these juvenile philanthropists.
A small sum of money is still in the
hands of the Treasurer, which will be ex-
pended for further supply of fuel, when
that ION hand is exhausted.
There are doubtless many other cases of
destitution among the poor of our city, aud
the foregoing incident is related, hoping
that it may serve as an incentive to others,
cbaritably inclined, to go and do likewise.
