He was a quiet; ediratryfied man, whs had no dt ln ' bringing on the rebellion, and appeared withoat \ : tive feelings against the North.

Eveiy family around Warrenton has been pillid by the army of nearly aU its eatables. Bat a few thegbt it worth while to complain to the provost marshal These were a Mr, Paget, a Mrs Stmma, a Mrs. Bogeraknd a Mrs. Cooper. The last cried bitterly at the mihal’s office. These are all -persons of property, bnttheir sources of Inocme having ceased at present, they rff for food simply oh their poultry and ;hog»,-hndinpo|jWhat' the land around their houses has produced’this year*' They will how find great difficulty m.llving throtgh the winter. A Mrs: Bcott, living three. mUes fcom flarren ton, wife of the late Bobert K.

The prize was wreeted from her, - 1 A FIRST FAMILY OF VIRGINIA. The man at whose residence I staid, in Warrenton, belonged to a Virginia “firstfamily,” but said “thar” for there, “kin” for can, and “mo" for more. This pronni elation is very common in Virginia, among men passing much time in the country, but does opt detract from their ‘-first family” assumptions. Nearhnate re latives, who have '.passed more time in cifiea, maybe guiltless of the peculiarity. Moreover, the lafiiei of eaoh family take pride in speaking @ammattbaHy,~tli>ngh the universal Biave-State-srccent is common to thim. My, host had been a private in the Southern army for fifteen months, but was discharged last June, as being over the age of thirty-five. His occupation was to stand kt atreet corners ail day with his hands in his pockets and smoke a pipe, accompanied by congenial feiends. He wasa good, easy fellow, with no. ill feeling to the North, and a strong, d6sire to see peace return. His pa*Blon was to hunt or fish, and he was versed in ail the mysteries of netting game. His grand misery appeared to be that no shot could be bought to kill the partridges, which wete most abundant, and filing boldly among the housss with impunity. His wife "was a slight, pale, Southern beauty, with dark lustrous eyes, who had life. tie to say upon the war, or upon anything else, but her mother poured an incessant volley of in dignation against the North. She was a nervous little square-headed woman of fifty; who, with a New England training, would have exhausted her restlessness as a lec turer on anatomy and female health. But she lived in a land of mental dullness. Her husband was dead, lovers came-no more, and she soothed her vitality by smoing. A pipe is a frequent solace of female middle age in slave States, more especially in the country, where the digi traction of gossip Is not fonnd, and where the labor, which should legitimately employ time, is performed by slaves. The old woman’s tongue was my bane; There was no end to the citations she made of people who hid been pillaged at different' times by enr army,-’and the tried very bard to make gentral assertions 'of personal rudeness, but could give no cases in point,‘except a vague Btaiemeht in regard to a certain Mrs Brown, who had been kissed in the, streets of New Orleans by an intoxi cated Union officer, and who' immediately -shot him. Also of a young lady in Alexandria-street, who was si. milsrly treated, and who spit in her admirer’s face. The old woman was a diligent reader of Southern newspa pers, and’an anxious inquirer for news.' That these are the’only cases of,violence upon the fair sex that she can bring against onr immense army, is very creditable to it. Her grand indignation story was upon an event asserted by her to have occurred, bnt which did notj as I am informed, at Front Royal last summer, when the place was oooupied ,by ; Brigadier. Nentsi Steinwehr. Two young ladies of the place asked for a written protec tion from Bteinwehr’s Provost Marshal for their home. The Provost Marshal said they were laughing at him, refused them the .protection, and revenged, himself by ordering a written order posted at various public points throughout the town, giving soldiers the right to “treat the young; women sw they pleased.” Notwithstanding the liberal latitude of this permission, the old lady could not learn that it had in any way-been availed of, f The old lidy endeavored to impress me with the gen tillty|ofber connections. Shejwas more or lew connected with every tamily of social note. Her maiden namehad been Sane, and she claimed a distant relationship the Miss Lane of White House celebrity, 'notwithstand ing the odious Northern birth and Union principles of .that lady. The distant connection, however, proved to be through the medium of an original ‘ * three brothers',” The ladyis claims, also, were very extensive apon tbei Jennings estate, in England, throngh her descent from "Sarah Jennings, Duchess of Marlborough.”. To all this gentility a moat brutal blow was one day given by a: matter-of-fact Hew England soldier. Two yonng niece* were visiting at her bouß#, and the*man inhooehUy Abed why she did not pot them 1 Into a factory.; Jffit' sisters worked in one, and it was better than doing nothing. The old lady collapsed. How dare bel Low bred, vul gar creature! Eer niece* to he couplcd-with persons that worked in factories! The Impudence of the “ fellow” was a theme for ehdlesa invective. ON THE MOVE. Generate Halleck and Bigel both paid visits of consulta tion to General -Burnside, and on Snnday morning .the' latter broke camp, and followed the army towards Fre dericksburg. On Sunday night the army encamped* near Oatlett’s Station, the locality where Pope lost his persona) bag gage by a cavalry raid of the enemy. It is a lonely spot, environed by a wood of oaks, whose leaves are now withered A email detachment of Massachusetts infantry guard it. Ths soil between Warrenton and Fredericks burg is very poor, and farms sell ror ten to twenty dollars an acre. Houses are'unwhitewashed, few and far be tween, often tenantless or partially demolished, and the land hasjn great.part been uncultivated.this year. Ho cattle are seen upon the farms; Luces have long been rued for camp fires; fields present hat weeds' and dead grass, and desolation is everywhere. ARRIVAL AT FALMOUTII. On reaching Falmouth, opposite Fredericksburg, on Tuesday afternoon, we- found that Conch’s army corps had preceded ns the day before, and, by means of Pettit’* Hew York Ba'.tery, had eholled the rebels out of,an earthwork to the right of the town, compelling them to take refuge in the town itself.

In the course of an hour or two the enemy were repulsed from their new. locality of assault, and followed np by our'oavalry, and lost Berne ten or fifteen more prisoners. THE WOMEN IN ARMS AND EAGER FOR THE FRAY; . During the progress of the engagement, which occurred just outside of the corporation, the peop-e became reso lute in the determination to stand by the town, and even the women, in many instances, appeared in the streets, oh horseback and on foot, armed with revolvers, and in spired with alt the enthusiasm of war. At the conclu sion of the fight, a number of avariciouelv -disposed in dividuals endeavored to lay in stocks of cheap tobacco by fishing forlhe “ weed” which had been consigned to the waters, but the demonstration coming to the knowledge of Colonel ’Bail, that officer made a descent upon the speculative piscatores, and lodged abont forty of them in the gnard-honee. .

JACKSON IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF WINCHESTER, A correßpondent of the Bichmond Enquirer give* the following rebel account of the whereabouts of the übiqui tous Stonewall Jackson: - Wincjikster, Nov. 12,1862. Without giving General Jackson’s exact whe eabonts, I will only say, for the benefit of those interested in the fate of this place, that “ Old!

The Kaneas ruffian, Geary, is at Har per’s'Ferry, occasionally sendiog out a bend of pilferers to frighten old women and children, and steal and destroy the few remaining necessaries of life from the helplesa -and .defenceless- A dash was made, by a band of these outlaws a day or.two since into Charlestown.

He almost, doily sends up from fifty to one huedred Yankees, taken oh the mountains, h. H. Hill is not very farfrem.Front Koyai. The sentiment of thoee among us, whose opinions are best entitled to respect, is decidedly adverse to any movement across the Potomac. Let; us leave the North to become still more entangled in their wrangfings and 'political feuds, 'and hot seek to unite them by threats of ah invasion; Let ns act upon the defensive, and then, although the road- be long and painful, the end must sooner or later be.reaohed, and liberty and independence secured.

Robert Toombs, Senator firom Georgia, having resigned, an election w'af held to fill.the yaoanoy, and one despatch says that Judge Jenkins was ‘ elected, while the other stabs JBerscbel V.'

Jenkins to the < Confederate States Se nate, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Gin, Toombs Since that resignation and to the present time the vacancy has been filled pro tempore by Senator ’ Lewis, on the appointment of Governor Brown. Judge: Jenkins, as a politician, belonged to the old Whig sohooi,; snd enjoyed a national reputation... He was tendered, we believe, a position in Fillmore’s Cabinet, but declined it. As Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court, Judge Jenkins delivered the recent decision in favor of what is known as the eonßcrlpt law.—ididimorid Enquirer, 19!A t HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSTON. The following telegraphic despatch appeared in the columns of the paper tiro same day as the above was Milledgeyille, November 18,1863. Herschel V. Johnston was elected Confederate Senator io day. ' . Herschel Y. Johnston wee one of the most prominent' men of the South, and was s the candidate tor Tice Presi dent of the United States, on the same ticket with Judge Douglas at the last Presidential; election;' During; that canvass he delivered several speeches-in thie city which abounded in Union sentiments, but when Georgia seceded he went with her, and ever since lias -been one ol the staunchest friendß of the rebellion. FOREIGN RECOGNITION HOPELESS. It appears Ironi the following, that the speech of Sir G. C. Lewis, England’s Secretary of War, fell as a damper on the fond hopes expressed by the rebels, that they will soon be recognized by the Bnropean Powers. The En quirer, in .the course of a long artlole on the subject; ways:" ' The accounts from abroad seem all to oononr in-the statement that the leading Governments of Europe have not yet deeided to recognize our independence.

While Mexico was yet claiming ' ownership, and continuing hostile manifestations, Texas was recognized as independent by the most prominent oflheSamily of nations;’!:’- It was after this recognition that Mlkicb asserted the earnestness of her, claim by waging Obstinate war npon the United Btates sooner than reilruuish it. The* doctrine advanced by Sir G. O. Lewis is as cold blooded as lt la unreasonable. It har never been the policy of civilized nations to encourage a prolongation of ' a hopeless struggle, but to favor its cessation eo soon as the reshit was manifest England sees and declares that 1 our Independence is secure, but yet virtually encourage* Lincoln to continue h's mad attempt as long as he is able' to prodttoe a gnn-or a man .

He represented' the Biohmond district in the Ur-lted States Congress, frjm 1845 to 1817, and Iron 1849 to 1861. < - A SALT EXCITEMENT IN GEORGIA. ‘ A letter frem Dalton, Ga., states that a number of ladies in Mtht place bad gone to the State' depot' and de manded of the agent some salt. ‘ He directed thtm to the commissary’s office, when,l hey repaired thither and de manded Salt, or, Mood.

THE FORTIFICATIONS- OF VICKSBURG. The canal dug by order of General Batter, last Bummer, will be of no advantage to ns in an attack. Gentlemen who have lately bee s'with the transports carrying rebel prisoners to Vicksburg, say that since the abandonment of the work by our, troop* the enemy have erected very tormidable batterieß there!, commanding tho dtbouche of the canal, and had taken sill the precautionsof filling up the channel,’eo as to prevent the washing out of the canal when the river, rises And even should the water rise sufficiently to'wash out a channel, the gun* ef the enemy would still command the canal. ‘ -WHEN THE ARMY "WILL MOVE; ■ The expedition of Geni'McOlernand will be ready to move by the 10th of December at farthest, perhaps mnoh earlier.

Chaplain J Eaton, Jr., of the 27th Begiment Ohio infantry volunteers, Is hereby appointed to take charge of all fugitive slaves that are now, or may from tame to -time come within the military lines ot-the; advancing army; in that vicinity, net employed and registered in ac - cordance with general orders No. 71, from headquarters district of West Tennessee, and will open a camp for them ’at Grand Junction,-where theywill be suitably cared tor, and organized into companies and set to work picking, ginning, and baling all the . cotton now-, out standing in fields. ~ -"'"V - ; ; t - officer** of troops ; will send all fugi tives that come within the lines, together with such teams, cooking utensils, and ether baggage as they may bring with them, to Chaplain Eaton, Jr., at Grand Junction. , . HOW THEY WILL BE USEFUL. . Hitherto the only .work performed by negroea in-the Mistlssippi valley has been that of loading and unload ing, steamboats, cars. Sad wagons, driving teams, building fortifications, repairing toads, -bridges, and! other labor usually devolving on the, soldiers. This is the first in stance wherein the contrabands■ are made to produce ahs thing for the. Government. The fields around La grange and Grand Junction are: full of cotton that was abandoned by the' ownersof the plantations at the titno our. army approached. If all this is properlycollected and, sent to market it will create a revenue of no incon siderable importance. Cotton raising is remunerative at ten cents per pohhd. Cotton ploking will certadnly he profitable at fifty cents per pound. It is highly necessary that the negroes should be placed somewhere in employ ment, snd the present opportunity has been well improved by Gen. Grant. MINOR CHANGES.
