HDoRs. ARMY OF THE PoroMAc March I. 1865
A SUDDEN REBEL MOVE EXPECTED.
. There is no sign yet that any large body OF
the enemy has left 'front.' though all goes show that
they intend TO make move and they will make II sud
deny but they very wary. grave has their case
grown Under Of o strong picket line this last
great move will, think be tried in few more days.
CHECK TO DISCRETION.
Tn the last few days the flow Of desertion has de.
creased and learn that the means taken by the Rebel
generals to check it are first by giving thirty days fur
Tough to all men who shoot down others In the act OF
deserving and by placing patrols outside Of the line OF
vedettes to lie in wait and fire at any men VINO ma! Vo

THE REBEL coMMIssARY.
Men are the first want Of the enemy and the next is
food How TO get enough Of that is the question; ana
Rebel paper tells US that they have commssary
with some elementary ideas about food" In TACT
they seem TO make merry at their own wants and exc
tremity; but it is bitter sort Of railing, coming from
few Thersites
ORR oBsERvAToRIEs.
At points Of our line, (Which will not menton) We
have two obseryatories. They their tall tops
above the strips of wood that partly hide the Rebel line
from view, and give good insight into its dispose
ton. From these two points Of view the enemy are
watched as closely as Indian on tho war.path
watches the movements Of his enemy, ready to follow
upon their trail. 1t will be easy matter for tho
Rebel army to steal away from 'front.' yet 1t must
try IL; but unless 1t gain sno days march upon u.s.
leaving the two corps the right to check US and
mask the operations Of the Others the object will be
lost.

For two DAYS we had as lovely weather Qor this
season as man could wish for but to-day are again

tered in the hedge and in the evening the frogs added

For some distance around stone is to DO found.
