horses. the ciwing of crows. and the laughter nf children in the yard, and the Il.wo-haw' of the plow driver. are no longer heard in this blasted region. All is still as death for miles and miles, under the sweet autunnal sun.
 Fredericksburg itself is torn as by a hurri- cane Much of 1t has been burnt, and the tall chimneys standing all alone tells woful tale of ruin. Pa,t of the town is destroyed by fires cause by shell and part by the torch applied by Yankee hands, All the lower aud the up per portion of the town have been so shattered as to be uninhaLitable; the stores have been snited of their shelving aud counters to make dry places for the countless thousands of Yan- kee wounded at the Wilderness and Spottsyl- yania to lie on. The churches have been re- peatedly struck and so have most of theprivate dwellings. I counted twenty or thirty holes in the fine mansion of Douglas Gordon, which was nearly complete before the war broke out. A shell had passed diagonally through and through the house in which stayed, and one had exploded in the parlor under the room in which slept. Looking out of my bedroom window I saw naked chimneys aud deserted homes in every direction.
 The store is at the bottom of hill, and on that hill is the fine old homestead of the Mar yes, now gone to wreck, with countless aper- lures made by shot and shell. and open to all the winds that blow. Ah it was a sad thing to tread the deserted halls and chambers of the old house. and hear only the echo of your own footsteps. Not even a rat squeaks behind the wainscot. The silence is awful.
 A number of refugees have returned to Ere dericksburg, which contains now some six or eight hundred souls, principally women and old men. ....

BErHLEHEM.-Mr. Editor :-The Uuion men of this town met at our village hotel, last Fri day evening, to celebrate the triumphant suc- cess of the Union cause at the recent Presi- dential election. A supper of oysters and other good things was prepared by our hostess in her best style, and of which some forty or fifty partook, after the invocation of the Divine blessing by Rev. A. G. Loomis. After supper the company were entertained for an hour or more with patriotic and congratula- tory remarks by Rev. Messrs Wright and Loomis, Messrs. H. w. Peck, L, P. Judd, Wm. R. Harrison, and others. The hymn " Ny Country 'tis of Thee;" was then sung, and then, after three hearty cheers for Abraham Lincoln, the company dispersed, rejoicing in the renewed assurance given by the result of he election of the loyalty and patriotism of an overwhelming majority of the American peo pie, and with more confiding trust in the all. wise and over-ruling God of our fathers.

The New Haven Journal says that '' George Miller of Hartfo d. said to have deserted from his regiment and entered the rebel ser vice, and been captured by Sheridan, escaped from his guard in New Haven, Friday, while en route to this city for trial The guard had brought him safely all the way from Indianap- oils.
 The Chicago Tribune, Nov. 18th. says that Sherman has started for Savannah with his whole army. It also has also St. Louis dis patch, stating that said army consists of the l4th, 18th, l7th and 10th corps, with I5.O00 cavalry and brigade of artillery, in all 50, 900 men.
 The latest information about Gen. Shermsn is from fAe Cincinnatti Gtxette of Friday, which says the army left Atlanta in two col umns, one on the 9th and the other on the 18th. moving eastward, the former via Macon, and the other directly toward Augusta The Ca sette adds that the first column was heard from on the l4th, and had then advanced seventy miles on the road toward Macon, driving every thing before it, and destroying everything as it went.

TRAvEL1Na IN DfxIE.-Railway fares in the South are so enormous that a soldier, officer or private, cannot afford to go home, even when he is'so lucky as to geta chance. A resolution has been introduced into the rebel Congress proposing to regulate this condition of things. In connection herewith the following letter from rebel officer was read ::
 How can we, who live some six or seven hundred miles hence afford to pay the railroad charges. According to present rates,, Briga- dier Generals monthly pay will carry him from Richmond to Augusta Colonel could not go further than Charlotte, North Carolina; a Lieutenant Colonel would have to lay over at Raleigh; Major would not get further than Danville and as for poor Captain or Lieut. enaut, after paying for a bed in Richmond, they would have just about enough left to buy a ticket to the first water station"
 We have an idea that Sherman will furnish these rebel soldiers with some ideas of the way to travel cheaply and expeditiously, without any interference of the rebel Congress.
