BFADQUABTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Feb 5-The extreme cold weather of the past
three days has made the roads hard and more
passable, alth (hgh sery rough.
There is every indication that the enemy ha We
very much weakened their forces on the oppo-
site side OF the river, relying upon the impossi-
tility Of any movement being made under er-
listing circumstances. They no longer make
their former display of tents by day and picket
fires by night. There are also but few pickets
to.be seen the opposite side. LAST night,
notwithsta nding the extreme cold, but few fires
were visible, and below fredericksburg, where
heretofore they have been very numerous, only
three W ere to be seen.
This morning a heavy snow storm began,
which towards evening changed To rain, and
the prospect now is that fhe muddy time is to
bP rPinaugurated.
This morning there was considerable ice in
