Our Army Correspondence.
HEADQUARTERS 53n PA. VOLS.,
Camp near Brandy Station, Va.,
December 8,1863.
MR. EDITOR :—The army of the Po
tomac has made another of its grand
movements. There has perhaps not
been as much accomplished as some
desired, yet we have no doubt that all
was accomplished for which the move
was intended. On the morning of
the 26th of November we received or
ders to march at daylight, and at the
appointed time were on our way. Our
corps, the second, crossed the Rapidan
at Germana ford. The pontoons not
being thrown across the river as soon
as desired, the Ist and 4th brigades of
theist division forded the river. The
water being waist deep and very cold
made it exceedingly uncomfortable for
the men during the night, yet you
scarcely ever hear any complaining in
this army, and consequently nothing
was said. On the morning of the 27th
we left the plank road and took the
direction ofßobertson's Taverns where
the enemy was found drawn up in lino
of battle ready to receive us. Contin
ual skirmishing was kept up during
the remainder of the day, in which a
considerable number were wounded in
the 8d 'division.
On the morning of the 28th the en
emy was found to have fallen back.=
Our corps immediately followed them,
and found them strongly posted on a
high range of hills some two miles from
the Taverns.
On the morning of the 29th the sec
ond corps was taken from the centre
and moved to the extreme left which
had heretofore been held by the sth
corps and Gregg's division of Cavalry.
When wo arrived on the plank road
leading from Fredericksburg to Or
ange Court House, skirmishers of the
Ist and 4th brigades were immediate
ly thrown out and the whole corps ad-
Vanced. At about 3 o'clock we came
upon the enemy very strongly posted
on a range of mils The left was fully
as hard to carry by assault as the cen
tre, which, no doubt, accounts for hes
itancy which General Warren had, for
ordering a general assault. As soon
as the enemy saw our skirmishers ad
vancing they opened on them with
several batteries. The skirmishers of
the enemy were, however, driven back
to within a few hundred yards of their
rifle-pits and batteries. The skirmish
ing continued pretty severely until
late at night. In this skirmish, Sergt.
Henry 1.3. Geissinger and private Oli
ver Lease of Company C, 53d Penna.
Vols., from Huntingdon county, were
severely wounded. With the 29th
most of the skirmishing along the en
tire lino ceased
On the morning of the 30th a gene
ral assault, was to have been made on
the enemy's works on our loft, but it
was given up for reasons which your
readers litive no doubt long since hoard.
On December Ist we were engaged
in building breastworks, which in our
army augurs well for a retrograde
movement. At about 10 o'clock on the
night of the Ist the order to pack up
came along the line. Everyone know
what it meant and soon all stood ready
with knapsack on the back and rifle in
hand. Then commenced one of those
long tiresome night marches, which
wears out men more than 'bird fight
ing. All night long and the nest day
till sundown, we marched through mud
and woods ; crossing the river this
time at Gold Mine ford. Arriving at
our old camping ground, tents were
soon put up and a fire made in the
old fire places, a good supper cooked
and ate, and all lay down to take a
good rest, the first we had for a week.
This move of the army has been
made, and a great many cannot see
why it was made, or why we did not
have' a general engagement when wo
were across the river. This question
we aro not able to answer, but we have
not the least doubt but what General
Meade knew what he was. doing and
why ho did not engage the enemy.—
Newspaper correspondents of some of
the New York papers are already coin- !
moncing to raise a great howl against '
General Meade for not attacking the
enemy. Why is it that our Generals
must always be slandered by these
men ? Is it possible that our Generals
must, be removed when they do some
thing that does not please these men ?
They declare that General Meade had
"well matured plans to go to Rich
mond" and being he did not go, must
he on that account be removed, as they
think he should, and will be? low do
these men know that General Meade
had intended to go to Richmond when
he started ? If General Meade told
HUNTINGDON, PA., WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1863.
them so, then we must be greatly mis
taken in the General, because we think
he generally kelps his own counsels.
We have not the least doubt that Gen.
Meade would have gone to Richmond
if he saw that it was possible to break
the enemy's lines; but we have more
confidence in General Meade than to
think that he did not know the strength
of the enemy, and what he could do
with the number of men at his dispo
sal. Supposing General Warren would
have made a charge with the 28,000
men then at his disposal, against Gen
Hill who was said to have 25,000 men
strongly entrenched. General Warren
made calculations how fin• he would
have to charge, the number of shots
the enemy could fire in the time he
was making the charge, and conse
quently the number of men he would
lose. General Warren was confident
he could carry the first lino of works
with the loss of ten thousand men;
while the enemy would lose compara
tively nothing. He would then have
had to fight 25,000 men with 18,000,
while three miles to the rear the ene
my had another lino of works strong
er than the first. Who that has the
good of his country and the welfare of
the army at heart can blame our Gen
erals for not making this assault ?
What would these war-bounds have
said if General Meade had been defeat
ed ? Then they would have had him
removed immediately, wo suppose.—
The country can ill afford to lose a
battle at this time or have the army
unnecessarily slaughtered. Let the
men why rttiely ouch whowl take a-mns--
ket and swell our ranks, and we will
take Richmond by superior number,
which is the only way by which it can
ever be taken.
These same mon are urging a vigor
ous winter campaign. This is just as
impossible as anything can be in the
world. Wo agree with them that
something should be done to end the
war as soon as possible, but a winter
campaign is utterly impossible. It is
not near so cold now as it will be when
the winter commences in good earnest,
yet a number of. men froze on the
skirmish lines in the late move. If
these men were compelled to lay on
the . picket - line without a fire, not tick
ring to raise their beads, unless a ball
from the rifle of some rebel sharpshoo
ter came unto mfortably close to their .
cranium, they would give up their fa
vorite idea of winter campaigning.—
Yet this is not as great a considera
tion, as how we should get supplies up
for the troops, and get our heavy
trains of artillery with us. Even in
this late move, after a day's rain we
could hardly get the artillery through
the mud, while at the same time we
had a good road compared with many
or indeed most of them in this country.
When we came back to our old camp
it was almost impossible to get rations
from Brandy-Station a digtnnor of two
miles. Consequently, the whole corps
was put to work to make a new road.
If the roads are so bad now, how will
they be in mid-winter 7 This war
would have long since boon ended if
paper battles could have given us vic
tories. Some ill-affected men, half
Copperhead, and the other half some
thing else, sit back, with their foot
cocked up, and dictate to our Generals
how they must act. They tell of vic
tories that might have been won, and
of defeats"that might have been avoid
ed, while•in truth they were, perhaps,
not within (Cu miles of the scene of
operations. They can fight mighty
battles on paper, but hate most abom
inably to hear a shell singing through
the air. Let these men keep quiet.—
If our Generals are not able to do the
work, we have indeed poor hopes of
over having it done by their aid. If
there is any removing of Generals to
be done, we have no doubt President
Lincoln's judgment will be sufficient
to see when it shall be done, without
their assistance.
The troops have all moved their
camps, and are now putting up com
fortable quarters. The weather is
getting very cold.
The enemy is quiet on the south
side of the Rapidan. They crossed a
small force a few days ago to recon
noitre our position, but were quickly
driven back by our cavalry. Our cav
alry do picket duty on the Rapidan,
so that all the movements of the ene
my will be strictly watched. We
have no idea that Genl. Lee will at
tempt any movement against this ar
my. We think ho will- remain quiet
in, his winter quarters. PILUAL

-PERSEVERE.--
A Vie of the south as it is.
The exhausted condition of the
States in rebellion, and their titter in
ability to long maintain the struggle
upon which they madly ventured, is
strongly exhibited in a letter from a
lady "whose name would guarantee
at once her patriotism and her truth
fulness," which appears in the World
his morning.—The lady. it is stated
in the World, has spent a year in the
most prosperous and wealthy part of
Alabdma, and her statements are the
results of her own immediate observa
tions, extending not merely over Ala
bama, but throughout, other States in
which she was permitted to travel. Of
all these States she writes: "Their•
desolation beggars description, desti
tution is everywhere; mon that were
worth hundreds of thousands are re
duced to utter poverty. As for the
luxuries of life formerly so abundant
in the South, there are none. Persona
formerly the wealthiest have nothing
to sustain life but what the country
affords, and not enough of that, for by
impressment it ie taken from them for
the army. Their garments, even
their shoes, the families have to make
themselves; they spin, weave and dye
their cotton, and homespun clothes
rich and poor. Tea, coffee and sugar
are not to be had; milk and water aro
the only bererages;.lndian corn is
their principal food." This, as a pic
ture of the retribution which has over
taken rebel passion and slaveholding
treason, is in itself sufficiently conclu
sive and terrible, butt; -0 writor_clooo
not stop here.—Not only is society
compelled to fall back upon the rude
appliances and barbaric life of the
dark ages, but even the domestic con
dition, the fountain head of life in the
State, has ceased to exist. "The fam
ilies," says this writer, "are broken
up and ruined.—You seldom meet with
a mule inhabitant, and if you do he is
either infirm or a cripple.
A large part of the Male population
are killed in battle, many more crip
pled for life-time; many patriotic Uni
on men died of a broken heart. What
remain aro in the army or in the em- ,
ployment of the Gov&rument. Neva.-
arestgLim3 crops the country
in all directions in search of men for
the army. All tics of social life are
completely dissolved. No courts of
justice and equity are held- 7 -justice is
meted out by the military. Universi
ties, colleges, and schools, are all sus
pended. The country in many places,
resembles a • wilderness. Wherever
the armies march there everything is
ruined—the crops destroyed ;, fences
burned; trees cut down; domestic an
imals killed, stolen, or taken for the
army' •
Truly this is a terrible picture. The
fiery sweep of Attila loft in its track
no greater desolation than this rebel
lion has bequeathed to every State,
every town, every acre upon w ich ft,
has set its foot. Yet these are the
horrors which our Vallandighams and
Seymours and Woodwardites are will
ing, if not anxious, to bring upon eve
ry northern community in vengeance
for our refusal to accept them as ex
positors of our• determined thought and
purpose.
One other significant remark Is made
in the letter from' which we have quo
ted, namely, that "the southern peo
ple have little hope of success." Those
among us who insist that the rebellion
is still sustained by the hope of tri
umph will find in this statement from
one whose oyes have seen whereof she
writes, ample food for reflection.—.y.

Why the Late Campaign of Meade's
Army Failed.
For some time the public has been
waiting for'an explanation of the fail
ure of the late campaign of the Army
of the Potomac. A. correspondent of
the N. Y. Times, who is editorially en
dorsed as having the highest sources
of information, has furnished such a
statement, which appears to be truth
ful in the main. He states that bo
foro the late advance General Leo's
forces numbered. about 50,000 men,
while General Moado's army probably
outnumbered Leo's. On the 24th ult.
(Tuesday) Meade ordered-the adVance,
hut a rain-storm prevented any move
ment until-Thursday, the 25th. At
dawn of the latter day the march be
gan, and nightfall found all the corps,
save the First, across the Rapidan.—
The First Corps would have crossed
that night had it not been that delay
On the part of the rest of the army
had blocked up tho roads near the
fords, thus making them imprudent for
the First Corps to follow closely. On
Friday morning the entire force was
on the south side of the Rapidan, and
under the sternest orders, as to speed,
the different corps were pushed for
ward, General Meade hoping to make
up by haste for the delay in crossing.
According to the Times the Third
Corps, under General French, was re
epuneible for the various delays ; inas
much as it took the wrong road twice,
. and then the commander had to send
UtJa - o,c,
its artillery strOund by a ford different
from that at-which the corps crossed.—
"Again under way, it had not advan
ced fur before it had the misfortune to
take the wrong road which passed too
far to the right, and of meeting John
son's division of Ewell's corps, which
force held it in check, and again de
layed its progress, while it. enabled
Ewell to concentrate "rapidly the re
mainder of his corps on the old turn
pike road leading front Robertson's
Tavern toward Mine Run, thus pre
venting the advance of Warren.—
Scarcely was it out of this mishap be
fore it again mistook the road, and
night coming on found it two or three
miles distant from the 2d Corps."
To repair the delay, Gen. Meade
directed the Ist Corps, under General
Nowton, to come to the support of the
2d Corps, under Warren, which was
then . nearest the enemy; but Newton
could not roach the ground till night,
and the fighting of the day was over.
In the meantime all the corps, save
the 3d, had arrived at the' designated
' positions. The next morning (Satur
day) it was found that the enerhy had
abandoned his lino of defence before
the 2d corps, and had fallen back to
the south side of Mine Run. Their
second line of defence extended along
a prominent range or series of hills for
a distance of six . or eight miles. This
series of hills formed all the angles of
a complete fortification, and comprised
the essential elements of' a fortress.—
The centre of the lino preSented four
or five well-defined facings of unequal
length, occupying a space of more.than
3,000 yards, with such angles of de
fence that the fire of the enemy was
able to enfilade every avenue of ap
proach, while his right and left flanks
were not loss protected. Stretched
immediately in the rear and on the
flanks of his position was a donee forest
of heavy timber. About 1.200 yards
Tifirotit - Of hIS - II tie - watt - Mine - u
stream of no great width, but difficult
for infantry to cross, from the marshy
ground and dense undergrowth of stun
ted timber With which it was frequent
ly flanked on either side, as well from
the abrupt character of its banks In
addition to these natural defences, the
enemy had felled in front of a large
extent of his position a thick growth
of pine, as an abattis, while he had al
so thrown up earthworks of great
strength along his entire line. Thus
the position was much stronger than
ours at Gettysburg, and much more
formidable than the enemy's at Fred
ericksburg.
General Meade was anxious to at-.
tack on Saturday or on Sunday, but
riot until Monday could the engage
ment be ordered. General Warren,.
who had been transferred -from the
centre to - the extreme loft, reconnoi
tered the enemy's position and declar
ed he could carry it.. General Meade,
on hearing this report, strengthened
Warren by giving him in all 28,000
men, and the dispositions for an attack
wore made. The close of the story
is thus narrated:
"Early Monday morning, the army
was under arms, waiting impatiently
for the signal gun. At last the sound
of Sedgwick's cannon came rolling a
long the lino, when the entire artillery
of the right and centre opened upon
tho works of the enemy. But not a
sound came from Warren—not a gun
was heard on the left. Is the army a
gain' to be disappointed? Yes. Up
on a more careful and thorough exam
ination of the enemy's works, without
e.ntmitir.a. with General Meade—with
out consulting with a single - ciffieer - -=.
but assuming the entire responsibility,
General Warren deciied not to attack.
He immediately reported to General
Meade the reasons for his failure to
attack; that ho had misjudged the
strength of the enemy's position, and
that he was willing to sacrifice him
self, rather than to sacrifice the army.
General Meade at once ordered a post.
ponemont of the assault on the right
and centre, and galloped to the left to
ascertain if it was possible in any Way
for Warren to be successful. Ile de
cided that success would be at an im
mense sacrifice of life, and that the
defeat of Warren would bo disastrous
to the army.
"It was too late now to change the
programme of the battle. It would
consume another day to transfer the
troops to the centre and to the right.
The supplies of the army were nearly
exhausted, and one day of rain would
have caused the roads to be impassi
ble. The army was safely withdrawn
to this side of the Rapidan."
The above seems to be a clear and
reasonable account of the failure of
the campaign, though it has not the
absolute weight of entirely Official au
thority.
MEMORABLE; WOnDS.—When Darius
Nothus, an ancient king of Persia, was
upon his death-bed, his son Arsaces,
(called Artaxerxes itnemon,) who was
about to ascend the throne, approach
ed, and asked him, a few moments be
fore he expired, what had been the
rule of his conduct during so long and
so happy a reign, (of nineteen years),
that he might make it his example.—
"It has been," replied the king, "to do
always what justice and religion re
quired of me." These are .words that
should not only be sot up in letters of
gold in the palaces of kings, but should
also be inscribed on the mind of all,
and be strictly adhered to by us

Caledonian supper General Roseerans
exhibited the photograph of a boy who,
ho said, was the youngest soldier in
the Army of the Cumberland. His
name isJohnny Clem, twelve years of
age, a member of Co. 0, 22c1 Michigan
Infantry. His home is at Newark, 0.
He first attracted the attention of Gen
Roseerans during the review at Nash
ville, whore he was acting is marker
for his regiment. His extreme youth
(ho is quite small for his age) and in
telligent appearance interested the
General, and, calling him to him, be
questioned him as to his name, ago,
regiment, &a. Gen. Roseerans spoke
encouragingly to the young soldier,
and told him to come and see him
whenever he came where ho was.
He saw no more of the boy until
Saturday last, when ho wont to his
place of residence—the Burnet House
—and found Johnny Clem sitting on
a Befit, waiting to see him. Johnny
had experienced some of the vicissi
tudes of war since they last met. He
had been captured by Wheeler's cav
alry near Bridgeport. His captors
took him to Wheeler, who saluted him
with—
"Wbat are you doing here, you d—d
little Yankee scoundrel 1"
Said Johnny Clem, stoutly, "Gene
ral Wheeler, I am no more . of a d—d
scoundrel, than yon aro, sir."
Johnny said the rebels stole
_fle . vit
aluthatte had; iballidirielitiliocket
book,. which contained only twenty
five cents. "But I wouldn't have car
ed for the rest," he added, "if they
hadn't stolen my hat, which had three
bullet holes it received at Chickamau
ga,
He was finally paroled and sent
North.—On Saturday he was on his
way from Camp Chase to his regi
ment, having been exchanged. Gen
eral Roseerans observed that the
young soldier had cheverons on his
arm, and asked him the meaning of it.
He said he was promoted to a Corpo
ral for shooting a rebel Colonel at
Chickamauga. The colonel was moun
ted, and stopped• Johnny itt some point
On the field, crying "Stop yen little
yankee devil!" Johnny halted, bring.
ing his Australian rifle to an "order,"
thus throwing the colonel off his guard
cocked his piece, (which ho could eas
ily do, being so short,) and suddenly
bringing it to his shoulder, fired, the
colonel falling dead with the bullet
through his breast.
The little fellow told his story slut
ply and modestly, and:the General de
termined to honor his bravery. He
gave him the badge of the "roll of
honor," which Mrs. Saunders, wife of
the host of the Burnett House, sewed
on Johnny's coat. His eyes glistened
with pride as ho. looked upon the
badge, and little Johnny seemed sud
denly to - have - grown an inch or two
taller, he stood so erect. He left his
photograph with General Rosecrans,
who exhibits it with pride. We may
again hear from Johnny Clem, the
youngest soldier in the Army of the
Cumberland.
A VALUABLE BOOK.—The materia
from which the future history of the
war for the Union is to be written, is
accumulating abundantly, and there
has been no more valuable. contribu
tion to it than the "Annals of the ar•
my of the Cumberland," just publish
ed by Messrs J. B. Lippincott & Co. It
contains a full account of Gener
al Rosecran's campaign down to the
advance toward Chatanooga, with des
criptions of all the battles, skirmishes
and expeditious, biographies and por
traits of all the principal generals and
the officers of their staffs, and much
other interesting matter. We find that
there aro no less than 73 portraits
of officers, engraved on steel, besides
other fine illustrations. The volume
is a large octavo of 671 pages, superb
ly printed and richly bound. Its au
thor is an officer of Rosecran's army,
but his name is not given. He has
done his work well and produce& a
most interesting and valuable book.
Since it was written, a number of those
whose lives he has given, have proved
their heroism anew on thebloody field
of Chichamauga. • Every one who had
relatives or friends that were in that
and the other battles of the Army of
the Cumberland, should procure a co.
py of this really elegant and valuable
work.
