NOVEMBER 25, PONTOON BRIDGE BUTLDtNO. The 15th New York Regiment this after noon made their first at pontoon bridge building,- on the eastern branch of tb» Potomac, near their camp. In .33 minutes they inflated the India-rubber pontoons,, and laid abridge 188 feet long,.over which .50. men marched at common , and double-quid^time and on the ran, and two Jtanea crossedwith out trouble. The regiment has the pontoon train'which has been at Whst Point for-tome time, and.is well supplied with engineering tools and implements. They, hare- also fas cines and "other materials for "fortifications. Two-fifths of-tbe-men : are : skilled mechanics, and the camp gives .evidence bf their manual skilL Although they have been but' two weeks in their present location, they have constructed a bnek raage-and oven --for each company, and ..made many other improver ments. In their four months of not one man has died of disease, and there is now. but one in the hospital. Washington news and gossip. Nothing is. talked:-of to-day but the review yesterday, and the probability of tho advance of the grand army. There is every indication that an important, move ment is.about to take place, and-the-remark made' bn tho review ground, yesterday, by one of onr Generals, that the next “review oC onx troops will:take place in : Richmond," .may mean something. Yesterday General HhClellan gave the Cabluet and his staff regular “steeple chase." He i? one of the; best horsemen in. the country, and .mounted,: as he was, on a superb charger, he outstripped: jhem ati. The only two wh'o.kcpt up with : ‘Him wore -President. Lincoln and Secretory Cameron.. Secretary Seward came in third; 'host. His horsbSeemed to beTeligiously • op-; 'posed to jumping ravlnoitt .One of- the'Cabi— net officers faeetiouslyre marked 'that Mr.i ‘Seward was not riding his own hobby."- WINTER QUARTEBS. Smalt wooden houses, large, double canvas tents, of heavy material, and comfortable log fauts;-are going up in all the localities occupied,; or likely to be oecupied.dnring the wintety or a portion of it, by our.troops.in the vicinity of Washington. Onr soldiers will all be well Srovided for; but there is some difficulty inj eeiding how the, large number of cavalry; now. here can bo comfortably cared for. Dif-j ferent plana are under consideration, and it la probable somo decision wilt be made in a fow days. The horses have, so far, been ex)K>sed to the weather. CAPTURE OK THE MOUTH CAROLINA SECESSION ORDINANCE. Ut\jor Pangborn states that Com. Dupont sent homo, and that the Navy Department is now in possession of, the original South Car olina ordinanct.of teegmon, beautifully en grossed npon parebment, with the autographs of the South Carolina seceders,headed by Gen, Jameson. The photographs of all the mem bers were also found, at Beaufort with the or dinance, and a large number of other import ant documents; which will 'seriously interfere with Boqlh Carolina's prospects for an unmit igated sovereignty. THE FEDERAL ARMY — COO, OOO VOLUNTEERS IN THE FIELD. ft has been officially ascertained that the Government has now in the field and camp, and in process of formation, 600,000 volan tesis ; and the enlistments for the regular ser vice numerous than heretofore. FROM THS UPPER POTOMAC. A letter from Darnostown,- dated to-dajf, says nothing has been heard for several days of any movements of the enemy opposite our tines. Everything is apparently quiet io their encampments. This may be canted by the withdrawal of the .weight of ; their forces for the defence of Winchester, which they consider in jeopardy. REBEL HEATHENISM. - Two more bodies of tho Now York Four-, teenth -were found where tho late skirmish ooenrred. They were nude, and showed evi dence of the most shocking brutality on the part of the rebels. It appears to-day that not , an accident ooenrred yesterday mom ing among the seventy-five taen and horses whoso ex tensively maneuvered: OSN. KELLY’S COMMAND. Private letters from. I Gen. Kelly's command say the troops at Romney soon expect to march on Winchester, which is reported to he strongly intrenched. There are rumors that the rebels have a large army ready to defend that place or attack Romney. COSTRABANDd. ThaJteamer Stepping Stones ran the block ade last night, bringing fifty-eight malo and female conttubanda,besides ten children, be ing the last invoice from Virginia. Ouk last advices, through Rebel sources, were that the village of Beaufort had not yet been occupied by Gen. Sherman. Gen. Robert Lee has been appointed to command the Rebel forces in that quarter, and he is said to -have commenced fortifying the vil lage. In leSs than five days aftef Hntteras was taken, when the State of North Carolina was at out feet, the Rebels had 3,000 men and a battery of 15 guns on Roanoke Is land; We failed to follow up the important advantage, and within one month's time we were on the defensive at Hatteras. This piece of experience makes one restive at any apparent delay in improving advan tages at Beaufort or elsewhere. I presume that it will turn out. that Gen. Sherman did not find himself at the bead of the troops that warranted him in pushing ahead as fast as, at this distance, would seem desira ble. If there is any particular thing that the loyal people of the country,, and 1 believe very many of the people of the revolted States also, desire more than anything else, it is to see, Charleston in the possession, of our troops, with the Stars and Stripes wav ing from .the place from which they were first torn. Ended whenever and in what ever way it may be, if the history of the rebellion does not - record this much, it will record- a grand omission, a humiliating failure in the cause: of justice. You can to-day raise more troops and get more money for such an expedition than any Other you can name. The Government will stand In danger.of beingaccusedof awant of energy and tlio right sort'of Uetermma : tibu and purpose, so. long“as it postpones this blow. Let .it fall—fall with terrible, oruahipg energy—noil as an. act of yen geauct, though it could! be justified on that groundj but simply as an act of justice and right In the hignest sense—an act that the . whole world expects and would approve;; and one that would at; the same; time do. mon'.thhs any other.to- oruah out the re bellion. ‘.'Will'the trains in less than a month. *' Tbo loyal East -Tennesseeans were hourly expecting a Feder al army to force its way through Cumberland 'Gap, and if a vigorous advance hud been made there, the capture of Zollicoffer’s army would’have been absolutely certain. "Not a man eonld have escaped. Zollieoffer’s effec •Uvo force in Kontuekybas not anytime ex ceeded. soven thousand men. : The secesh troops guarding the East Tennessee railroad when the bridges were burned was loss than eight hundred* If alter the battle of Wild Cat, oar troops had pushed vigorously forward; the loyal East Tennesseeans would havo taken .possession of the railroad, and held it for their own use in stead of destroying it; and they .would have taken a largo amount of provisions and mili tary stores collected at Knoxville and other points for the use of the rebel army. The fall ing back of tho Cumberland Gap Expedition will have a most distressing- effect, and- will probably cause the ruin of-many'of those who have committed • themselves in arms against-the Jeff. Davis despotism. At the very time when the devotetL Unionists were expecting to see tho bayonets of the United States troops glittering in tha passes of their mountains, they will hear of the. disastrous march away from them, which has already been described at length in these columns. The sturdy loyalty of the East Tennessee ans appears in the returns of the recent Con federate election for President and Vice Pres- ident and. members of Congress; In fioane county, where two thousand votes are usually givcn,less than three hundred and fifty, were polled. John Baxter, a Submission Union man, (that Is, one who is in favor of the Union, but looks upon the rebellion as an accom plished fact,) run for the Confederate Con gress in Maynard's district, thinking the Uniynists would support and elect him, rather -than permit the election of. an ultraEeceSeion iat. xhe Union men bad about; eight thous and majority in the district; but refused to vote, and the Secessionist had a .very small; but nearlyunanimous vote. In Knox county, -whore the Union men had throe thousand two hundred votes, Baxter, the Submissionist, re ceived but, 80 votes. The Union men would havo nothing to do with tho election, bdt treated it with oontempt.r~ln many places the poles wore not opened, and tn someWJrble counties not a vote was cast. The lines between the Union men and tho secesh aro very sharply' drawn. Every man knows, whom he may trust and whom he must distrust. The devotion of the Union people to the Government is unalterable, and many touching proofs of are givon. We are told of .men more than seventy years of age, acting as guidos on tha mountains, in the night, for those whom they know to .be. the friends of the Government. The women will not bike money for any assistance they may render the' Union men. Coses are mentioned in-which poor women whose husbands are exiles, have, with tears in their eyes, refused to touch gold offered and. urged upon them for provisions furnished thoso who were laboring in tho eanso of the Union. Ono lady who was rout ed at midnight to prepare a meal for a party of Union men, was told, in order to induce her to accept a gold piece as compensation for her trouble, that tbe gold was not from their own pookots bnt from the United States. She burst into tears and refused to accept it more earnestly than ever, saying she could not take the money of the Government for any poor service she could render. This poor woman's husband and sons were exiles. Are these people to be tbeirenomies now in the hour of their Uhnoet need ? There is undoubtedly a .powerful reaction in North Carolina against tho Disunionista. It would not bo surprising to hear at any time of a most detormiued Unioh movement in that quarter.
