headquarters ofthis brigade have been re-
moved to Union Mills, where also have

er, is at this point, viz, three regiments
and a battery. Col, Randall OF the 10Th,

Adiutant Peck, of the same regiment, is
Post Adutant. The Colonel is an ex-
tremely vlgilant officer, and keeps his
command quite busy in keeping sharp
lookout for the rebels, who, on the for.
ward movement of the Army Of the Poto-
mac, will uuquestionably endeavor to make
in large force raids into the Department Of
Washington.

lheutenants Hooker and Prentiss were
formerly attached to Gen. Stoughtou's
staff
Concerning Gen. Stoughton's capture
he writes s"Had he established his head
quarters at Fairfax Station, among his
brigade, and not four miles away, he
| would have inspired more confidence and
respect for himself among his men, and
been safe from all the Vaccinations OF
Ford and Mosby. As regards the COM
ments of the State and metropolitan press
in relation to the intimacy between Miss
| (Maior) Antonio Ford and Gen. Slough
ton, think it a gross libel upon him. |
am told on the best of authority. that his
ACQUAINTANCE with this secesh sister was
but slight, and that he rather avoided than
courted her society"

: OF the Rutland Light Guard, he says
The resignation of Capt. Landon was
sore blow to the Rutland Light Guar
with whom he was extremely popular, a.
! greatly regretted by the regiment. Cal
Landon stood in the front rank OF o
r Captains, and it was only imperative bu
ness matters which needed his presence
o hons that forced him to resign. His ST
cessor, Capt. Staley, is quiet, cool, re
able man, commanding the respect OF
= entire company. He is every way qua
g fed for his position.
