Orange Court House (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
Army of the Potomac. [our own correspondent.] Manassas, Dec. 27th. Today our whole army is engaged in building log houses for winter quarters, or in moving to sites already selected. Several brigades will remain where they now are, near the fortifications in Centreville, and the remainder will fall back a mile or two upon Bull Run. --Gen. Kirby Smith's brigade is at "Camp Wigfall," to the right of the Orange and Alexandria road, near the Run. Near by, the whole of Van Dorn's division are making themselves comfortable in their little cottages which rise rapidly day by day, under the diligent hands of the soldiers. A few brigades are scattered down towards the Occoquan, where wood and water is plenty, the farthest being by Davis's Ford. The artillery, with the exception of Walton's battalion, has already been located between Cub Run and Stone Bridge. The cavalry has fallen back a little and they are now building stables and houses near Centreville. Gen. Stuart will remain

Johnston will occupy the Lewis House, on the battle field, and Gen. Beauregard Wier's, his old headquarters before the 18th and 21st. Longstreet's division will, if I am correctly informed, occupy the advanced position, and will remain near where it is at present. The artillerists, detailed to man the guns

nal signs. A competent draftsman was employed to give an exact delineation of the surface of the grounds in hill and valley. The context is compiled from the reports of officers. If this book and the maps prove correct, it will meet with a ready sale, and I shall take the earliest opportunity after its publication of examining it and of giving my opinion to those who choose to receive it. Christmas eve I made a flying trip up the country, and spent a few hours with some friends at Front Royal. Starting late in the evening, we arrived at nine o'clock, and after spending a few happy hours, returned by the train at three. Riding entirely in the night, I was unable to learn much of the country or the town, but fancied it very pleasant. The journey back by moonlight was delightful, and I was reminded of a little German poem which I have translated, and beg to introduce here. The Midnight ride. I ride the cold and dark night through. No moon, or stars, to point the way-- T

Near by, the whole of Van Dorn's division are batteries, will also remain by the fortifications. In case of an attack by the Yankees, it will take about two hours to get the main strength of the army across Bull Run. Information of an approach would be given at least two hours before an enemy could come up, and in that time we could be well prepared to resist any force thatill be issued at an early day. Messrs. Warder and Catlett, both practical surveyors of this vicinity, are preparing for publication maps of the battle grounds of Bull Run and Manassas Plains. They have both spent many days in taking the bearings and distances of all the roads, the meanders of the streams, the position of every pi

e expedition was abandoned, and we turned our horses towards camp. I would like to give a description of the present appearance of the battle- field, but mere words would fail to give the correct idea of it to be gained by accurate maps and drawings. Up to this time none have been issued worthy a glance, or that are not better calculated to mislead than to instruct. I am happy to learn, however, that a book, with maps to fold in it, is now in press, and will be issued at an early day. Messrs. Warder and Catlett, both practical surveyors of this vicinity, are preparing for publication maps of the battle grounds of Bull Run and Manassas Plains. They have both spent many days in taking the bearings and distances of all the roads, the meanders of the streams, the position of every piece or body of woods, and the location of every house. To this is added the position of the troops during the battle, given in conventional signs. A competent draftsman was employed to give an exact delin
