March 10.
The pickets Of the enemy along certain
portions Of the lines on the opposite side of
the Rappahannook are one half-negroes and
one-half white men. The negroes are armed
and uniformed the same as the whites. The
fact appears beyond question, only 100 to 200
yards intervening between our pickets and
the enemy's, and they are plainly to be dis
tinguished without the aid of glass.
Gen. Ingalls,, chief-quartermaster OF the
Army Of Potomac, has issued circular mod
flying and reducing the transportation OF all
arms of the service, as well as the staff OF
corps, divisions and brigades.
Marriage rights were solemnized to-day at
the camp of the 7th New Jersey, between
Capt. ID. Hart Of that regiment and Miss Sam
mond.
The Times dispatch says that two lieuten-
ants Of the U. S. cavalry, to make assurance
double sure, as to the fact Of negroes being
in the rebel army ON the Rappahannock, pass
sed over a corduroy road, through a marsh,
TO the edge Of the river, plainly saw with the
naked eye negro cavalry to the number Of fifty
apparently doing picket duty, half and half
with white soldiers, who seemed to be regu-
larly distributed among them.
The officers went within one-hundred yards
Of them and only used a glass to render
their examinations more certain.
The negroes were regularly stationed on
posts the same as the whites. The matter
has been communicated to the authorities at
Washington.

nounce the Army of the Potomac the healihi-

army is known to be nearly seventy-iye per
cent. greater than that Of the Union army.

somewhat disturbed by the report Of orders
TO be ready to march. We shall not move,
probably till the weather is drier than Of late,
but the order foreshadows what is not far
distant il the season is an ordinary one
namely, active operations--the opening of the
spring campaign.
As yesterday was the anniversary Of our
leaving our home at Camp Grimm, my thoughts
were led to compare the prospects Of the
coming with those Of the past campaign. Be

we went forth buoyant with hope in the al

for our arms. Now, wiser by sad experience,
with no arrogant selfconidence, with rer-

be disappointed. unless agreeably so. The

suppression now some assume the right to
question its wisdom merely no, but they
denounce, oppose and embarrass it by every
possible means, without thinking it possible
that it has pursued, notthe best but perhaps
the only course to solve difficult national
problem. Let the traitors unmask, if they
will. Such a Union as they would have pre-

ALL HEX OPPOSEltS '--Stsphen a Douglas
This should be the motto Of every Ameri-
can patriot bu. if Douglas were now to rise
from his grave, he should find among the
"opposers" of his country some Of the very
men who pretended to be his strongest admir-
ers, and who followed his able political lead
ership. He would be against them now, and
they would denounce him as an Abolition
ist' for sustaining the war measures of the
Government that is doing its utmost to save
the country from the assaults of an armed foe
which happens to be slave holding Histoc-
racy.
Douglas was too able statesman and too
ardent patriot ever too have sunk down to
the low, cowardly and reasonable position
assumed by clique of the Western Democ-
racy, in opposition to the measures of war for
the preservation of the Republic He was too
much of man, possessing too much heart
end soul, to allow his party prejudices to
swamp his honor and patriotism. - Chicago

The other decision establishes the legality Of

July 10, 1861, the day on which Congress
recognized the war. The dissentients we're
all Of the old court; thus, if it were not for
the new judges, the government would have
been defeated on this great question. The
dissenting judges went upon the ground that
that there could be no legal blockade until
Congress had declared war, although war did
in fact exist much before as after that dec
larAtion. These judges split hairs to save
the property Of rebels, and Of their aiders and
abettors. The President was lucky in his
opportunity to put new judges on the bench.
