X, diefs from* *mg. FROM THE 151st P. V. . _ -NEAR UNION MILLS,. Fairfax co..Va.,'Deci 17, 1862. Entron :—Dear Sir: .In compliance -*ill the' wishes of many, of my friends in your county, I take the liberty of,ventur ing to intrude myself upon your attention, and-through the columns of your valuable: sheet', upon that of the •publie. You, are doubtleSs awaVe that the 15Ist. composed..in ~part of _two' companies 'froth Susquehanna county, un der the-command of Cants._ Stone and Crandall; and that-it is encamped on the iacred soil" of the Old Dominion ; and I will further state, that its tents are-pitch ed on ground 9ccupied by the southern troops last_ Winter:im der Jackson and Hill, on the road leiling from Centreville to Union .Atills; and the impression seems ,to be very general that we have taken up - . Winter quarters: However that may be,• One thing is certain—the regiment has been very.assidnously employed. since we carne here in constructing and re-eons-true -ting all manner of edifices for the comfort and convenience Of its members. - Igany log-huts which sheltered one year ago the forces,liere - nathered together to give bat tle to . the .-iN s T)rth, now protects from 'the -inclemency of the weather many sons.,of . the - old Keystone, - stopped to take a breathing spell on their " forward to Rich mond" march. ' Thinking thus, I am TC,-, minded that only a few _miles from us in northerly direction, is the celebrated run ning gr ound where the speed of our north ern troops was most signally exhibited, and their bottorri tested, one fine summer day ;in the month of June, 1861; and, where also, on a later occasion, their he roic defence and obstinate resistance to superior nninhers, has contributed to ren der it Memorable in the annals of the great rebellion ; and hard by is the _ground! occupied by Ranks" when the en • gagement took place between his forces-! and those -of Jackson -and Longstreet, which resulted in' the masterly retreat of, - the former to Leesburg; while farther off in the distance lies Fairfax C. IL and its, surroundings; suggestive of Jnany __episodes connected with our civil brawl ; and'nearer by are the ruins of Centreville, and the long line of forts frownig defiance ..to . the armed legionTof the sunny south. • I visited ; the ground a few days ago , where, the engagement took place 'between : the detachment of MCDowell's brigade under Hughes; and that of Beauregard un der Ilillzwhicll resulted in 'the shellino• of the town, its consequent burning, and the - retreat of thersouthern farces from Cen . ti•eville to Manassas jubetion; and I could not restrain an emotion of tender ness at thethought, - that I was. standing upon consecrated soil—upon groundnar tured with heroic blood, and sprinkled - with heroic 'bones, while the very atnios pliere itself seemed redolent with thespir it and fire of patriotic devotion. I only Wash that I had the imagination of some " reliable historian"-:--for instance, the Tribune's" special war correspondent," in Which to dip -my pen ;' I would try to re-, produce some of the most stirring acts in the drama of which Fairfax co. has been the theatre; but my brain is too dull, and I shall therefore wander out of the realms where the , . "Heroic fancy tunes its lays," and enter upon a prosaic review of men • • and things.in general. • - . - . - In the first place, then, our regimeht be fOngs to,the first provisional brigade, corn :manded by' 8.,5. d'Utassy, a Hungarian • by birth. and education, who served under - Garibaldi in the wars'of Italy. Those best licquainted with him' say that he unites ivith his soldierly bearing the attriGutes of kindness, condescension, and social in tercourse, with the men under his-com-. mand. . • The 151st regiment is commanded by Col. Harrison Allen, of Beaver co. Pa.— He is a lawyer by profession, and has dis tin,guished himself by - teal and energy in the sacred canse of upholding the - Uni6n. The Lieut.-Col. is G. T. 'McFarland, 'a teacher, from Juniata, co., and a brave and effidient officer. Major John W. Young, • of Susquehanna county, is a naive of Scot land. He joined the English army in the year 1847 ; served intbat capacity in Eng land, Ireland - and Scotland, for a period of six years; was then ordered to the West Indies, where. he 'served on the Islands of Grenada and Trinidad, for two years, :when be was ordered back to Londonder ry, (Ireland,) _on the service; and retired therefrom in March 1854, af ter a period of 8-years service_under the British flag. , Major Young has brought from Susquehanna county as fine a body of men as the regiment can boast of, and .if his military deportment toward them, and those under him, as well, as those as , sociated with him in command, is a ,fair critetion.by which to judge the man, he could not have failed in centering in him self the prayers for his, individual safety of 'every man associated with - him on milita ry fields'in foreign climes, as he most un questionably has here. His appointment to the rank of Major is a high tribute to his Military qualifications, his pr(triotism,. and =his untiring energies in - the cause which ham brought hiM into the fields Considerablel sickness is prevailing_ in camp. Capt. qrandalrg.Companylmiklost two. men, . oneln •Harrisburg and one in Wakhingten - , and S our hospital . tents'here shelter 10 or 12; victims to the small-pox bid the'extraordleary exertions made - for their recovery 121 Dm. Blakesley, of '-Luz 'erne 'county, and UnderWood,_of York co., gentlemen of uncinestioned attainments in their profession, are a . sufficient giaranty that if scient,i4 and medical skill is ot any avail; deaths fr i bm-like causes will . be few here. All, in. )fact, are doing well, with :one exception:l • • .We have had; and are h - aving some very Cold Weather here. • -, • P. HAYWARD._ • , . , MR.

Crandall's company."- To reliete the aux. ietr of friends and relatives, I will state, ttat I meant to convey the idea `that there 'ere about that imbiber of cases in the regiment. - • Four of our company have died with it, and singe I last wrote you, Capt;•Stone has lost a man with it.

The Rebels have strong breastworks and our troops tried to take them, but the Rebels had a cross fire on them; and they bad to fall back out of rangtof their guns. They killed and wounded about five thousand of our 'men. lam tired of this war ; it is a sickening sight to see men shot to pieces as I hgve seen them.
