OUR ARMY LETTER.
Special Correspondence Of the Gazetie.
ARny OF THE PoToMAc,
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Va,
Mar 18th 1863

Nh. EDITOR Perhaps few lines direct
from the seat of war will interest your nu-
merous readers.
On the 9th of April, at daylight, the
long expected order to move was received
we had but FIVE hours notice to make our
preparations. At 10 a. m. the magnificent
Army of the Potomac took up the line Of
march in north west direction, and crossed
the Rappahannock ON pontoon bridge near
Kelly's Ford; thence to the Rapidan,
which we forded at point fifteen miles
distant from the latter place; thence we
made retrograde movement towards Chan
cellorsville. Nothing of interest occurred
on this long, rapid and fatiguing march,
except slight skirmish with few hun
dred of the rebel infantry concealed in
thick forest. One shot fred by them, evil
IDENTITY aimed at Gen. Sykes, killed the
horse of an orderly at his side. The rebs
were soon routed, and we proceeded on our
march without molestation to Chancellors-
VILE Gen. Hooker and Staff arrived dur
ing the afternoon. The enemy had left
only few hours before the arrival of the
advance of the 9th corps,
The next morning Sykes diyision was
ordered to advance on the Fredericksburg
road; when about two and half miles dis
tant from the town it engaged the enemy.
The firing soon became brisk and lively
unfinchingly did this noble little band ad-
vance upon four times its numbers; they
drove the enemy steadily nearly two miles
before them, but reinforcements now arrived
in large numbers for the rebels, and the
regulars were almost surrounded. At this
moment an order was received from Gen.
Hooker for the division to retire; this was
done slowly and in most perfect order. The
wounded were oil removed from the field,
In the afternoon the enemy suddenly
made an attack upon the camp of General
Sykes division; in moment our troops
were in line of battle, and our artillery
opened upon them most effective fire; the
enemy were driven back with great loss.
On Saturday the enemy in force attacked
our centre, held by the 18th Corps, until
recently commanded by Sigel; sudden
panic seized our Teutonic brethren, and
they ran at double quick from the steady
fire of the enemy; nothing but the fixed
bayonets of Sykes regulars could induce
them to pause and reflect. Sickles' Corps
arrived at this moment, and the enemy
were cfectually checked in their onward
career.
During Saturday night our army fell
back about three quarters Of mile, and
drew up in line Of battle for the combat OF

have continually opposed every measure
adopted by Congress or the Administration
for the eiFectual crushing of the rebellion.
Now the question arises, what Is the cause
Of this opposition to these measuresy Is it
the adherence to set principles from which
their sense of justice will not allow them to
depart? That this j. not the case, every
intelligent reader IF ibis portion Of the
Northern press will readily see. When
person or persons are doing all IN their
power for tho future happiness and rights
Of others, it were curious sense of justice
indeed that should whisper in their ears,
This measure is entirely wrong, and you
must oppose it," No, it is not an inward
sense of justice which prompts to the
abominable course which these Northern
comprehend editors have and still are pur-
suing. But again we ask, what is it that
prompts them so perseyeringly to pursue
the shameful course which they have laid
out for themselves. Is it because they de-
sire in their hearts to have the South sue
ceed This we do not believe is the case
either, but on the contrary, would be who'll
Iy adverse to their wishes. They have
no pccuniary interests whatever in the
South, but their wealth is wholly in the
Northern States, and division of the coun-
try would doubtless materially lessen the
market value of their property. so this sure
ly is NOT their policy, for they are misery
set. But what is the power which urges
them on in perseverance worthy of bet
ter cause? We answer, political capital
This is the whole secret of their nefarious
scheme. They do not wish to see divis-
ion, but they have lost their political pres
tige, and have adopted this course Of action
in hopes that by distracting the councils of
the nation, they may prolong the war until
the people will become disguised with the
administration, rise up in their might and
put down the rebellion, then curse the party
whom they blindly suppose has been the
sole object'which prevented its termination
long before, and then after all this is ac-
complished, elect them-these abominable
copperhcads, than whom the most degraded
criminal is more honorable-to lucrative
aud influential Office. This is their course,
and so far they have succeeded amazingly
well. True, they were defeated in most of
the late elections, but still they made heavy
gains. and in one State, New York, actually

General Orders No. 7.
L. 1t having come to the knowledge of the
Lieut. General Commanding, that Guard Duty
within his command is performed in most
careless and inefficient -anner, the attention
of Division, Brigade and Post Commanders is
particularly called to this most important
branch of a soldiers duty, and to the necessity
of strict and rigid performa nee thereof. To
this end, they will see that the regulations o f
the army, prescribing the duties of Guards and
Sentinels, are posted at the headquarters of all
Guards, and that the officers thereof be held
strictly responsible for the enforcement of the
same.
Ill. Complaints are constantly reaching the
Commanding General of this District, of depre-
dations on the property Of private citizens,
committed by troops in passing through the
country. and also of impressme1ts of property,
in gross violation of positive and repeated or
ders from these Headquarters This is shame
full and must be corrected. Every commanding
officer is ma de responsible for the conduct Of
his men, and will accordingly be held to
strict account. Reference is here made par
ticulally to Bufords Regiment Texas Cavalry.
