lowing extracts from RlcnmOnd papers 10 the
29th ultimo
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF N oRTHERN Y VIR-
GINA, January 22.-General Order No. l.
The Commanding General considers it due to
the army to state that the temporary reduc-
ton Of rations has been caused by circumstan-
COS hevond the control Of those charged with
lis support. It's welfare and comfort are the
objects of his constant and earnest solcltude,
and no effort has been spared to provide for
It's wants It is hoped that the exertions now
being made will render the necessity but OF
short duration; but the history of the army
has shown that the country can require no
sacrifice too great for it's patriotic devotion.
Soldiers you tread with no unequal steps
the road by which your fathers marched
through suffering, privation, and blood to in
dependence.
Continue to emulate in the future, as you
have in the past, their valor in arms, their pa
tient endurance of hardships, their high re-
solve to be free, which no trial could shake, no
bribe seduce, no danger appal, and beassured
that the Just God, who crowned their efforts
with success, will in His own good time send
down His blessings upon yours
r. ID. LEE, General.
The Petersburg Register gives the following
account Of the destruction of Brandon on the
James river:
What we published in our last paper as
'srumor' about the iron-clad raid on Lower
Brandon has turned out, we are sorry to say,
to be sad reality. In fact, for this time, reality
has put rumor far in the background. There
is no doubt that all the buildings, negro
houses &c-save the mansion have been
burned that all the slaves but one, who Sc
creted herself, have been carried off; that
thousand barrels of corn, all the long forage,
together with a large quantity OF meat,
have been destroyed, and that all the mules
have been carried off In one word, we may
say that this old estate has been deprived or
all but house, now rendered valueless to It's
owner Loss some $3.50, 900.
The Enquirer says The letter we publish
ed yesterday gave sad but truthful pic
ture of the worthlessness Of our cavalry with the
army of Longstreet. We can imagine moth
ing more distressing to a soldier like Long
street than to have his plans thwarted by the
stupidity ct subordinate; and General Long
street is cursed with just such subdrdinates.
Reformation is sadly wanted. A man like
Hampton is sadly needed.
The Richmond Enquirer says "A gentle
man direct from Wilmington reports that the
eneay now have twenty six vessels blockading
that port. These vessels are scattered for a
mile or two off the mouth of the Cape Fear,
and guard all the avenues Of approach with
the most sleepless vigilance. The consequent
ces are that the chances Of running the block
ade have been greatly lessened, and it is ap-
pretended by some that the days not far dis
tant when it will be an impossibility for a yes
sci to get into that port without mourning a
hazard almost equivalent to positive loss.
