IThen approach the shades of even s
Add Me'stars aboVel
Deck the mighty arch of heaven
•As with gems of love ; •
Then my spirit, ever free,.
Holds communion sweet with thee.
When the breeze is•softly sighing •
Through each leaf-crown!d tree, .
and the lingering. sunbeams lying
On the scented lea; •
'Thoughts of thee du Throng my breast
'Robbing me of dark unrest. . , ;
As I take my morning ramble .
Through the grassy lawn,
Climbing over brake and bramble
At the early dawn;
Every zephyr seems to bring
Thy tweet voice, upOn its wing.
'noughts of thee dear one, shall guide me
All life's paths along ;
Aahi thy gentleness shall chide me,
When I think of wrongs
Ever shall th; memory be
Kept a sacred trust by me.

OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.

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

The fUrce thus gathered was, placed a

Irons, on of which, designated as the At
lantic blockading squadron, had for its
field of operation tl a wlrult. coast. extend
fion the easternmost line of Virginia
to Cape ,Florida. and was under the cOlll
- of Flti:z Officer Silas 14 Stringbam.

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

the insurgents erected batteries at• sun

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.
The Secretary maltes.a statement of
the coAlition of the, navy on .the .4th of
March last, froM which it appears...that
