reached the Regiment Dec. Goth, at their
camp about miles from Falmouth, and found
them preparing for winter quarters and nothing
important occurred, except our reconnaissance in
force, and one grand review, till the 18th of Jan.
u4ry, when the 1st Regiment was divided, and
the lsc Division, under Ljeut-Col. Tapp, was
detached and sent to Summers Grand Division.
Ihe detachment consisted Of five companies, viz :
a, T, c, | and II. We encamped near Gen.
Summers Headquarters on a high table land, d.
rectly opposite The city OF Fredericksburg, The
next day Burnside's second advance ucon Fred
ercksbugs commenced bat o severe rain storm
coming o., which made the roads impossible, it
was abandoned, and The troops which had started
were rec He'd. We stayed IN this camp week
when it was found to be so very muddy that
new campng-grounl was selected, about half &
mile away close by the Railroad, with the city of
Fredericksburg and the works beyond il foil
view, where we were directed to build cabins SUIT
able for winter quarters. We, therefore, laid out
our streets, and commence our houses, which
are about by Is feet, built Of hewcd timber and
rooted with Our tent cloths, six men to occupy
one shaEty. Bat in the meantime the command
of the army has passed from Burnside to Hooker,
and, of course, everything has to be remodeled-
Accordingly, day before yesterday, Just as our
houses were nearly finished, the order came to 90
back near the Old camp, and rejon the Regiment
and commence another winter camp. Most Of
the Regiment went to prepare the ground. The
I'd Regiment Of Sharp Shooters, | understand,
are to be camped near US. How long this ar.

Lieut.-Col. Trap. and Capt. Winthrop, of Co.

against them do not know, but Ihnk nothing
very serious. The detachment is commanded,

official quarters, that evidence is at hand leaving
little or no doubt that an evacuation Of the old
rebel line on the Rappahannoek is going on, or
is about to take place The late articles ia the
Richmond papers, stating that their railroads are
unable to supply their a.mies as at present work
ed, would seem 10 confirm this.
tits likewise alleged that Southern circles in
Baltimore are Of opinion hat a general evacua-
ton is an immediate probability.

Late hicnmOnQ papers continue 70 speak OF
the scarcity Of provisions in the South, one Of
them actually recommending the people to live
on but two meals per day. The EIaminST says
that points now held by their armies may yet
BE- abandoned for want Of food for men and
horses.
TTGsten Polk, ex-senator from Missouri, has
been appointed by the rebels to Judicial Office

Representative Hooper, of Massachusetts, led

the intention Of the ebolitiouists to iniroducs

extend this courtesy to all representatives Of
foreign nations soon after their first arrival, and
the President is no doubt following precedent
more willingly than inclination
The following incident shows which way the
Haytiens themselves are inclined. A fsy~days

of Democrats Of Montgomery county, Illinois,
held on the 10th Of March. The following rsso-
lutions were reported by the committee and
adopted without dissenting voice:

RssolUsd, That, in the opinion of this meeting,
no war should be wsged or prosecuted by any
