ll cross the Rapidan at Raccoon Ford, and move in the direction of Culpeper Court-House. General Jackson's command, constituting the left wing, will cross at Summerville Ford, and move in the same direction, keeping on the left of General Longstreet. General Anderson's division will cross at Summerville Ford, follow the route of GSummerville Ford, follow the route of General Jackson, and act in reserve. The battalion of light artillery, under Colonel S. D. Lee, will take the same route. The cavalry, under General Stuart, will cross at Morton's Ford, pursue the route by Stevensburgh to Rappahannock Station, destroy the railroad-bridge, cut the enemy's communications, telegraph line, and, operaemy, you will endeavor to cut him off; otherwise, make for Kelley's Ford, over the Rappahannock. Send back all information you can gather. I shall cross at Summerville Ford, and follow in the route of the troops toward Brandy Station.

On 15th marched through the city, and continued the march until 17th; went into camp near Hanover Junction and remained until 2d June. The enemy reported in King & Queen, the regiment with brigade proceeded to New Town; finding no enemy, marched on 5th to Reedy Mills, on 6th to Aylett's and returned to Hanover on 8th; marched to New Market 10th, crossed the Rapidan at Summerville ford, and rested on 11th near Culpeper Courthouse. Left on 15th with three days cooked rations and ten days on wagons. On 17th the sun was so excessively hot that many of the men who had never failed to keep up fell on the road exhausted. Passed Ashby's Gap on 18th, and on 19th crossed Blue Ridge at Snicker's Gap.

He was the right-hand man of Jackson, in his corps, and the right-hand man of Lee, after Jackson had fallen, and he enjoyed the abiding confidence of both. He was successively a colonel, a brigadier-general, a major-general and a lieutenant-general, each promotion coming to him

The middle of August, 1862, found Jackson's Corps camped at the foot of Clark's mountain, in Orange county. Here he was joined by General Lee with Longstreet's Corps. After a few days' needed rest, the army broke camp on August 20th, and marched in the direction of Pope's army, Jackson's Corps marching over Clark's mountain and crossing the Rapidan river at Summerville Ford. As Pope had retreated behind the Rappahannock river, we made direct for that. After trying several fords along that river with the seeming intention of crossing, the morning of the 25th of August found our corps near the village of Jeffersonton in Culpeper county. Orders were given the men to cook three days rations and be ready to move as soon as possible. A short time after we were ordered to fall in, the time was so short that none of the men had cooked all, and many none of the

[from our own correspondent.] Army of Northern Virginia. Near Orange C. H., Nov. 27, 1863. There was cannonading for several hours yesterday in the direction of the lower fords on the Rapidan, to wit: at Raccoon, Morton's, and Summerville fords. At these points it is understood that the enemy made demonstrations as if intending to cross. It is now believed that this was a feint, whilst his true purpose has been to cross in force at Ely's and Germanna fords, which it is now believed they accomplished last night. This morning everything is astir, and it is generally supposed that a fight is imminent, and that it will occur somewhere in the vicinity of the old Chancellorsville battle ground. Our troops are in fine condition, and you may rely upon it will give a good account of themselves. S<
