Bull Run, Va. (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 4
s that public opinion is strongly urging the army on, and it remains to be seen whether McClellan is strong enough to resist the tide that is bearing him towards Bull Run. He has publicly boasted that the next fight will prove a victory to his arms, and that there shall be no more Bull Run defeats. As long, then, as he can commaBull Run defeats. As long, then, as he can command confidence it is natural to suppose the people are anxious for him to advance, and if he does not do so without showing good cause for delay, it will be naval to his reputation. Another consideration presents itself. The Yankee Congress meets in December, and some report is necessary from the General in command of the armin the advance, there was a large amount of sickness, and the army was nearly defeated. This was observable also while near Manassas. Since the removal east of Bull Run on the high ground by Centreville and Union Mills, the general health has increased at least per cent. This is observable among all the troops and not confirme

Some objection has been made to the system, but only in such cases, I believe, where some favorite officer has been transferred, as in the cases of Gens. Walker and Ewell.

Yesterday there was a cavalry review by Brig-Gen. Stuart, and in the presence of the Generals and their staff. Everything went off very well, and to the satisfaction of every one. Gen.

Stuart is still the commander of the outposts, and has his headquarters a short distance this side of German town. He is seen frequently in Centreville, and every day or two has a batch or Yankee prisoners to turn over to the authorities here. After the cavalry review a section of the third company of the Washington Artillery under Lieut. John Garnett, went out to practice and to test some projectiles. The firing was excellent, every shot but one going near the target, the shells exploding with great accuracy. A tree, distant about a thousand yards, was completely riddled with spherical case shot

The faulty shot spoken of above was caused by a bad fuse, the shell exploding a few yards from the gun. Had the shot been fired at an enemy advancing in column

ficers have built little cottages that look very cosy and comfortable. Among these, of Major Walton is the best I have seen, a small board house with three windows, and large enough for all practicable purposes. It contains a dining table, a stove, writing desk, bed, chairs, camp stools, &c. If allowed to remain here any length of time, several plans for amusement will be put in operation in the artillery camps. I understand that a Thespian Association is being formed, and that Sergeant L. M. Montgomery is engaged in writing a suitable drains upon the current events of the war. As soon as it is known the army will remain here any length of time, there will be amusements enbuga, in while away the tedious hours of camp life. On doubtedly clubs and literary associations will be formed that will be very pleasant. In this connexion, I may mention the fact that our army abounds in literary and educated men, and it is remarkable to notice the extent to which the press is represente

shall make a note of as soon as the full facts can be obtained. The idea of having the different brigades composed of regiments from the same State, seems to me a good one, and I believe is generally regarded with favor. The change does not necessarily apply to officers, although thus far, many of them have been changed with the regiments. Some objection has been made to the system, but only in such cases, I believe, where some favorite officer has been transferred, as in the cases of Gens. Walker and Ewell. The latter had become very popular with the Alabamans, three regiments of them being in his brigade, and they of course were unwilling to loose him. Gen.

Army of the Potomac [our own correspondent] Cainsville, Nov. 14. One of the most frequent questions asked here is, "Do you hear any talk of going into winter quarters?" Every one seems to be of the opinion that within a few weeks military operations will have to be suspended on account of the severe weather, and that our army will desire to Richmond or behind the Rappahannock, and go into more comfortable quarters until spring. The great expectations if a fight have gradually given way, until now but few entertain any hopes of one or, at least, believe the advance of the enemy exceedingly problematical.
