Warrenton (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 3
From the North. We continue our extracts from Northern papers of the 21st inst.: The Yankee march to Fredericksburg — Incidents on the Route. The army correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes the following account of the advance on Fredericksburg: As we stated in a previous dispatch, our forces passed through Warrenton in three columns, Gen. Hancock on the right, Gen. French the centre, and Gen. Howard on the left. This constitutes Gen. Couch's corps. The ninth army corps, commanded by Gen.--and Couch's corps, are under the command of Gen. Sumner. The troops took the direct road to Warrenton Junction early on Saturday morning, and encamped on the evening of that day in the vicinity of the Junction, and again started early on Sunday morning, making the next camp near the Spotted Tavern, in Stafford county, Fauquier being the county we had been passing through. Nothing of any great moment occurred during the march, except that it was conducted with gr

ssippi regiments and Major Crutch's rebel cavalry brigade in Fredericksburg to dispute our crossing. The 30th Virginia, Col. Cary, is also supposed to be there, or ready to come, as houses have been cleared to be used as barracks for them. Falmouth is a very old town, some of the houses dating as far back as 1717, and some claim a greater antiquity. A portion of the town has a neat air about it, while the mass of the houses are old and ill-shaped. There is not a public house in the wholeuring the silencing of the batteries across the river the utmost consternation prevailed among the inhabitants. The children seemed very much frightened. During the early part of yesterday morning a ferry scow, belonging to Mr. Fichler, of Falmouth was destroyed by the rebels to prevent our crossing. The river is fordable in many places, and this will have very little effect in keeping back the troops of General Hancock's Division and the remainder of the column. This morning has ope

Nothing of any great moment occurred during the march, except that it was conducted with great order — few or no stragglers to be seen — and such was the rapidity of the march that the citizens of the very few houses to be found were taken by surprise, not dreaming of an advance of our forces. The countenances of all whom we came across plainly told of their astonishment. The first place of any name, after leaving the Jun

and causing one of the most fearful wounds ever recorded. The brave and unfortunate young man lay in most horrible agony, raving from pain a great portion of the time, from the moment of receiving his wound till 8 o'clock this morning, when he was relieved from his sufferings by death. He said to a friend, as he lay writhing in agony, that he was not afraid to die; he only wished that death might come soon to rid him of the dreadful pain he suffered. The deceased was from Reading, Pennsylvania, and had been in service since the opening of the war, having served with Capt. Durell in the three months volunteers. In September, 1861 the present Durell's battery was sworn into the service of the United States, and has since been constantly employed. All who have come in contact with Lieut McIlvain pronounce him a young man of remarkable promise and most excellent qualities, social and otherwise, and one who would have made a noteworthy mark in the world had he been spared.

st accounts we heard from the Springs, Gen. Burns still occupied them, and there was no enemy in sight. It was a little singular that Gen. Sturgis had not been informed that Gen Doubleday was at Fayetteville, and, upon our hearing drums in that direction, we marched in some expectation of meeting the enemy in our front. Below are the casualties in the fight of Saturday: Killed.--Junior 1st Lt. Howard McIlvaine, Durell's battery A, 104th Penn. Artillery. Wounded.--Henry Ives, of the same battery, arm badly shattered, amputated on the field; private Amidon, same battery, contusion of face by piece of shell; Charles K Darling, Sixth New Hampshire Volunteers, wagoner, leg fractured below the knee by a shell. I should have stated earlier in this letter that the conduct of the drivers in the wagon train, when exposed to a very hot fire, was most excellent.--They were aware of an order to shoot any man who abandoned his saddle or seat. They all kept their places.

With these exceptions the entire train was got off in safety, having been extricated from an exceedingly unpleasant predicament. The second brigade, General Ferrero, being nearest the train, had meanwhile been ordered back to its protection.

The second brigade, General Ferrero, being nearest the train, had meanwhile been ordered back to its protection. General Getty, of the third division, followed closely by General Burns, of the first, arrived on the ground about half past 9 o'clock, and by 10 o'clock Benjamin's famous battery R, Second U. S. Artillery, took up a commanding position on the hill above the ruined hotel, and opened on the enemy with his six 20-pound Parrots, silencing their guns in about half an hour. One of his shells, I am glad to say, entered the house where Conuth had been betrayed, and beside which the rebel battery was planted
