ANOTHER "SoUTH SIDE" VIEw.-The
London Times Of December 81 pub
fishes third letter from its correspon-
dent in the South. who dates from the
rebel camp at Culpepper Court House,
Virginia, November a. The cores
pondent. Of course, writes wholly in the
rebel interest, praises all that the rebels
do, and insists that their armies are
incomparably superior to the Fed
eral forces. He admits that Richmond
is open TO attack ''from the neighbor-
hood OF Suffolk or through the coast of
North Carolina" but argues that it
cannot be taken by descent from the
northward; and takes issue with Mr..
Seward in his declaration that the du-
ration of the war is mere question Of
time, and that the superior weight and
strength OF the North must ultimately
prevail. This argument the Times
writer rejects, adding this account oI

mountains resources for making wal
ammunition without stint, and founding
cannon. With the immense amount oI
the latter on hand, it is doubtful whether
any would be Wanted for ten years -
Again, in description of the rebel
army at Culpepper under General J. E

says:
Meanwhile, in the shelter Of the

Dear Messenger We are once more en-
Toying the peculiar luxuries of camp life, IA

this. Such mud can scarcely be found GU

Yesterday we came over portion CT the
Orange and Alexandria railroad, made so ia
mliar to US by the encampments OF last win
ter. We were happy to notice that the re-
peated rumors of the burning of the buildings
about our old quarters, at Union Mills, and
other encampments, were untrue, as we saw
them still marking their old sites, as we
passed along the route, and still doing service
by shelteriDg Union troops.
We arrived here in the evening LIN drench.

ised even a meagro shelter from the incIem-
ent weather, already occupied with those who
had the strong claim Of actual possession.
1t might have been our destiny to have been
" left out in the in cold" but for the good
luck of finding 10 the Telegraph Office, young
mau busy at his machine, whom we had
known in other days, at Montpelier, who did
us the great favor Of securing for US comfort
able quarters for the night.
We learn here that the Sixth regiment is
still some fifteen miles 10 advance of this
point, and as the day has been stormy, we
have spent it at this, for the time being,

picking work he has to do. The Captain

help he has the good fortune to secure in bis
employ. It evident that every man has
bis place, and is expected to do his duty,
and everything seems to move on like the
in government service, and work with an en-
ergy and endurance not to be surpassed BY
white labcrers.
The army, at present, appears to be NOV
ing. We hear of some skirmisbing on the
front, but no general engagement appears to
be anticipated at present. We conjecture
that Lees forces will be held here even if
not defeated, to prevent them from doing ser

As far as we have had occasion TO notice,

to our comfort, but when upon forced marches
under a warm sun, they are burden that

Their Yankee ,eculiarities, which are so often
developed in adapting means for the accom-
plishment of certain ends. This is the very
faculty which we are anxious to see exhibited
in crushing this rebellion.
The men we have 10 the field, seem 10 nave
no great sympathy with those embraced IN
the recent calls for an increase of the army.
They feel that more men are needed, and are
glad to know that the government apparently,
intends the vigorous prosecution OF the war !;
and there is often an expressed willingness
that those who lave been favored with an OBJ
portunity of remaining at home as yet, should
take their turn in trying the stern realizes OF
actual service, in the defense of our common
country We presume that some in the field
conjecture that civilians do pot usually appre-
ciate all of the peculiarltes of pain and pleas
ure. that fall to the lot OF the soldier. 1t is
quite certain, at least, that a class at the
North have been slow to give sympathy and
aid to the men who are periling life III the
defense of our country and this augments
the bitterness Of the soldiers trials. The
men here 10 the field appreciate Northern
sympathy, and often think that the cause they
defend, is no more to them than to others who
are left behind, in more pleasant clrcumstan-
ces, and they fancy that those who do not en-
ter the field should have kind remembrance
of those who are now bearing the burden of
the conflict None here seem to appreciate
the idea that there is any other Way to ma
tionai peace aud safety, but the overthrow OF
the rebellion and they see no way to do this,
bnt oht ~ until n - nrushpd
In our present location, we occupy a
range of hills that commands view of the
valley of the Rappahannock, and gives fine
range to our artillery, if the enemy should
vent nre 10 approach US. Ii would be dlficu
however, for any force TO drive US from oul
present position, and we hardly think that
Lee will venture an attack.

CALUMNY CoNFEssED.-It will be re-
membered what a great outcry was made
over alleged fraudulent enrolment in
New York State. Gov Seymour asked
a suspension of the draft on that account,
and the fact was used both to excite the
New York riot and to justifyit. Finally,
so much complaint was made of unfair
ness, that the President ordered re-
enrolment, which has been progressing
for some time past This new enroll
ment was conducted under the supervi-
sion OF agents appointed by Gov. Sey-
Inonr Tho reeuit rs u great ttfsappofnI-
ment of the men who set the movement
on foot. Instead of finding unfairness
or fraud, the new enrolment, so far as
it has progressed, vindicates the correct
ness of the old one, and has been ordered
to be discontinued by Gov. Seymour, who
publicly states that the old enrolment
F" is as near correct as it is possible to
make one."
