Amy or THE POToxAc, March 9.--Quiei
continues in this department, and is likely
to do for some time, SO far as any move
ments are concerned, for the roads are ia a
very bad condition, owing to the recent
heavy rains. The troops are being drilled
..siIy, and new arms, clothing, ETC., issued,
preparatory to the coming campaign. The
men are in excellent condition.
Deserters continue to come in, although
they are not 50 numerous as heretofore.
About thirty arrived to-day through the
lines Of the 5th and 9Th corps. It was re-
ported that four were shot on their way
over.
The first corps advanced their picket
lines short distance this morning, and It
is reported 10 have found rebel colored
troops on picket line in their front. If this
is true it shows that the rebels have at last
adopted'the policy Of arming their slaves

contract of Juarez with Messrs. Halliday &
Co., owners of the line Of steamers running
between San Francisco and Mexican posts
These steamers must sail under Mexican
colOrs, as those running in the gulf on the

WAssiSGroS, March 1.-THE Richmond
Examiner of the eth inst, says: All re-
mains quiet along the lines Of Goa. Grant.
In fact, for the last week everything has
been mud bound, and rain fell almost in
cessantly yesterday, which tended to ma Ike
matters decidedly worse in that respect. 1t
is not probable that Gen. Grant will at
tempt any movement until there Is a
change Of weather, and the country and
roads are in q better condition. The milf
tary authorities should be none the le Is Wig
liant, however, for ne may attempt 10 adj
vance his lines when least expected.
Northern papers continue to report
number Of deserters from our lines, and
their columns are filed with the stories
they tell. Grant has tboRght thesestories
of sufficient importance to forward them to
Washington, and the whole North catches
at them, and great exultstion has ensued
for some days.
Parties in this city have been snding
ing large quantities of manufactured to-
baeeo to Fredericksburg. Report says that
this tobacco was to be traded with the
Yankees for bacon, and that Gen. tingle-
ton was the prime mover in the arrange
ment, this bsing the business that brought
him again to Richmond. The tobacco was
transported to Hamilton Ferry by railroad,
and then hauled to Fredericksburr, Eve
miles distant, In wagons. The -Ysnkees
were expected TO come up in vssssls to
Fredericksburg and bring the bacon with
them, and carry of the tobacco ON Monday
last. Two hundred th0usand pounds Of
tobscco had been sent up towards FEEDER
icksburg, 10000 pounds Of which had been
hauled 70 fredericksburg, and stored in
a warehouse on the RapPahsnnock, csnye-
nisnt for shipping, and the other Ito,oOo
pounds was in thirty box cars at Hamilton
Crossing. t@ if &li
The enemy came up to Fredericksburg
in guRboats, on Monday night, but brought
no bacon that we have been able to hear Of.
Their first step was 70 send party Of cav
airy 70 HsmiltOn's crossing, who set to and
destroyed al the cars And tobacco there.
This party also barnsd the bridge ofer
MAssafanOx creek, short distance this sde
OF Hamiltone crossing. There are two re-
ports as 70 what was done with the tobacco
st Frederic ksbarg, one that the enemy ear
ried it Of, and another that they fred The
warehouses aud destroyed both houses and
tobacco.
The railroad company regret losing 81
cars, As they believed an arrangement had
been made with the enemy that hey shlnid
not be molestOd.
