Black Forest, Pa. : OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. CAMP CALIFORNIA, 'lead Quarters, Cu. U. 53d lie, P. V. Dec. 6, .1661. FRIEND MAC: As uur Cympliny is now elan erratic nature, often changing its 11,- 'ration, I thought to spenda few moments to writing to you Since urititr, you last-wehave moved quite often. I pro. - pose to give you and you'r readers an: abrid , ed detail of our various movement,: since that tithe At dismissal of "dress parade" on tha 27th of November, our Colonel informed us that he mid orders to strike tents'at 6 o'clock A. M next day, and to report at the earlies.l possible motuent to Gen. Sumner, at Sw im;field Station, on the Orange and Alex:m(lin, Railltuad, some nineteen miles distant' (rota .Washington Pursuant to those orders, on the following morning- we "struck „tents" and took tip the line of march fOr " Sacred Soil," passing ~v'er" the Low , Bridge at about tin o'e!,. e k A. M.. We arrived at Anlesondrsa a lit tle past noon.. We had ekpected to have taken the ears for the remainder of our journey, bur for some reason as }et not fully explained, our first orders were eoun• tertnanded and instead of proceeding, wel • were ordered to encamp fur the niglit on the hist suitable ground to which we should come. In accordance with these last lostrtietions we proceeded about two; miles this side Alexandria and, pitched,' teats on an eminence known - vs "Oaktiltee' Farm." This eittinence lies directly and about midway between Foal Eilswurth and Fairfax Seminary. It was last 81111/- m'er occupied by the Fourth Regiment Maine. Volunteers. Strolling nut back of this Camp a distance of perhaps hall a utile we come to what was formerly a ,beautifel residence, but is now a wreck The design was a good 'one and the finish excellent:. I was informed that the Pit.. oiture was magnificent almost beyOud deicription;.-But. when' _the three month's men came on, the .owner (a Rebel) mi. grated to a more congenial climate, and the exasperated volunteers' cut down his orchard, ruined his furniture, tore the partitions and.floors from - Out the house, and defaced the wails in a inost shameful manlier ' wantonly destroying about ten thousand !worth of property ;'and this, I - ani informed, is only one instance of many. While I have no sympathy fur those desirting . men who have so wick., dlybrought,untuld misery and destrue..l lion npou. themselves, still 1 could mist, that uur own soldiers of the free North'` might :conduct thetusefves in .a manner! setter suited to the cause in which we are engaged, and to the age in whicliwe live. I • Gotog over the hill and walking a Mile I we came to' Fort Ellsworth. 1 am not sufficiently versed in the structure of Forts ti be able to describe it yr.u.' My' conclusions, however, after ramblitn , thro' it a halt hour were, that with its .defences , properly maimed Jeff..would have a sorry time should he be hardy enough - to at tempt its capture. There art', mounted I .spore it sixteen sixty-four pounders. twOl -heavy rifled cannon, and four smaller bra. ss.pieces.'",in addition to these 'de fences, situated at. a few naves from the Fort is a strong masked battery. The Ithole'etructure, to !the inexperienced eve of one uneeustottied to such arrange ments, conveys an idea of strength, and , causes - him! to he would not like to be of the number who should attempt to test its capiicities for dealing death to die' creamy.. Stepping upon the parapets, we behold in the distance up the- Potomac, the. city 'of "tuaMnitieent distances" 'and looming .up, far above the rest, the Capi tol and the,Washington Monument. It beautiful sight indeed. • Lying down the river .we see Fort Lyon, a structure Which vie judge to be considerably-larger 'thin Fort Ellsworth; and 'just beyond it a rge encampment said to contain u'r-i thousand Union tops: Tito .nerstaodiog at oar alk fo diet ev'erbeYOrid !and -- near , I to' the.'s . etntintry arerPorts - Warrl;'Beirtietitind:tithers,'Mul in that direction too we observei large encampments. - So you see Mr. .dito - r, if the l'otter,boys..are,in...“,.lDixie Land'' they are .not alunp..ti .L_ ::` . 1 Returning to our quarteri at neon we were just .preparing , to write you while having limiting better to do, when we were ordered to pull up stakes and again nuke. .

The other,"or Golf squadron, operating how Cale Pfutida we.-sward to the Rio Grande,l-was conitnauded,b) Fiag Officer Nei vine. • Thestl two squadrons have rendered the blockade as effective as the eh eunistances of their ilnisty rquipment at.d the peculi• arates of the coa s t would allow. .The. Potomac Flotilla is briefly men tiOned, and isi said to have acconi plished thei purposes tOr which it was in-I tended, 'until tne close of October, when the insurgents erected batteries at• sun dry, points on the Virginia shore, there by rendering passage on the river danger-, ous. f MIZI mum In September it Was found that the du ty of gtiarding the coa...t had become very arduous, on ;kennel. of the great increase of the vessels etigis;red and the continued efforts Of the rebels to elude the blueittide, pressedby. the necessities of the people. Two squArons were therefore owanized on the Atlantic coast. `.Captain Louis M: Goldborough was appointed to guard. the shores of Virgini..and Novth .The residue of the South( rn Atlantic! ceasti - commencing at the line which sep• arates the.two Carolinas and extendim , " to Cape Florida, was intrusted to CaPtain SatiMell F. -Dupont.. j Since the, institotir.n of the blockade! one hundred aid fifty-three vessels paved been captured sailing under various flags,l most of which were attempting to violate{ the blockade. Must of these will be con deemed by the courts as prizes. A seiz ure of some of the important ports on the coast 'received the early attention of the Department. Two combined naval and milker% expeditions have already been or ganized and put in action. The. expedi. iions to Hatteras and Port Royal are then briefly noticed b 2, the Secretary, who says that the latter expedition was intended tä halve:sailed in, September ,- but .owing to causoa independent of the Navy De; Pertinent it was unavoidably postponed' until ilfh - '29th'of October. A natal force, susiljary to and 'eon peered with the army movements - on the MissiSsipni and its tributaries, - has : heeni nreanized, and is under the. command ofa Andrew H. Foote. The summers. which_have been. built. 'or pur chased for tl.is service by the War De pant:lent are of a formidable Character, and manned by a class of superior sea men:and western. boat men.
