Letter from Virginia.

AcQUIA CREEK, Va, March %, 1863
To the Editor Of the Press:
To-day visited the Army Of the Potomac
among them the Nineteenth, which is station
ed about half mile In the rear Of Falmouth
village, the Third near Brooks station, on
the line of the military railroad, and the Twen-
tieth, near Stoneman's switch. The latter has
the neatest encampment of any regiment in
the vicinity, and is very healthy. was pleas
ed TO meet our old friend, Adjt John NJ.
Brown, in fine condition. Under the excel
lent discipline Of its officers, the 20th Maine
has become second to none in the brigade and
has no superior in the manual of arms. have
heard its action at Fredericksburg highly spo.
ken OF by Massachusetts, officer. The 10th
regiment has had a severe attack of the mea-
sles, but Ia very much better than fortnight
since.
Great difficulty is experienced by Maine
citizens who visit the army in search OF regi-
ments in which they have relatives, arising
nom ignorance of the brigades and divisions
to which such regiments are attached. For
the prevention of such difficulties as far as
may be, give the corps, brigade and division,
to which each Maine regiment in this army is
attached.
The LIST Maine cavalry is in the I'd brigade,
I'd division Of the LIST army corps.
The I'd Maine infantry is in the LIST brigade,
LIST division of the 3D. corps
The 5th Is in I'd brigade, lst division of 9th
corps.
The 9th is in I'd infantry division of Gen.
Pratt, and in the 9th corps.
The 7th is in the Sd brigade, I'd division,
and 9th corps.
The 10th is in the 1st brigade, I'd division
and 9th corps.
The 18th is in the Sd brigade, LIST division,
and Sd corps.
The 10th is in the lst brigade, I'd division
and I'd corps.
The 10th is in the Sd brigade, lst division
ard 9Th corps.
This afternoon ascended hill mile or
two on the right of Gen. Hookers head quar-
ters, with signal corps party, and through
their powerful glasses obtained clear view of
Fredericksburg and the rebel Notifications
thereabout. The streets of the city are dot
ted with tents, and negroes are seen on guard.
In the towers of the rebel churches, we could
plainly see their signal parties, and about
mile to the left Of the city, a rebel regiment
was out on dress parade. You could see each
man and maneuver at the distance of mile
and a quarter, as distinctly as if they were
within ten rods.
Heavy rain has set in, and the roads will be
mnddier than ever, a circumstance which
will somewhat delay prospective army move
ments. You can get some idea Of the mud
when tell you that DIR. Mcdonald of the San
itary Commission informs me, that while going
on horseback from his quarters at Falmouth
to the station, the roads were so muddy, that
he got wet and bedaubed up to his saddle.
Mud here means more than at home, and the
Doctor will vouch for it, MAcHIGoNNE.

CONVERSIONS OF THE RIGHT SoRT.-We
have seen letter written by j. G. Guthrie,
Esq, of Canton, Missouri, in which he says he
had been unrelenting in his opposition to the
present administration, but has now become
its firm friend, and is ready to exert himself in
all the ways in which it is practicable and hon
orable, to sustain it. His brother, too, stands
on the same platform and is exerting himself
and throwing his influence in the same direc-
tion. These gentlemen are highly respectable,
the latter prominent lawyer, and are not la
boring in vain. They were both hostile to the
Presidents proclamation when it was first is
sued, and classed themselves with those who
do more than think and seek for reasons to
sustain their political views They worked
and gave their money in behalf of the cause,
the success of which to-day they regard as in
volving the ruin of the country. This change
in feeling and action was brought about by se-
cession demonstrations and the apparent in
fuence of the proclamation in the State. Mr..
Guthrie married an accomplished lady former
ly resident of this city. and teacher Of one
of our public schools.-Ne,obnrypor Herald.

gB- Poor Pillow Is in bad plight He
made himself stupendous joke by throwing
up the earth on the wrong side of his mill
tary( p ditch, and he has been going down hill
ever since. Unable to endure the oppression
of the infamous "Union,' in which he had
prospered and grown TO be a millionaire, he
took to secession. His own story is that his
fellow-rebels have burnt SS00,0o0 worth of his
cotton, and 400 of his slaves have found out
that they were human beings with legs, and
skedaddled. Notwithstanding these sacrifices,
Jeh Davis does not believe that he is
Napoleon and won't give him a command.
