eration. It is not necessary to speculate on the subject. I suspect, however, that this is but a brilliant cover for the ridiculous termination of the great Cumberland Gap expedition. It may have been devised, also, as a decent apology for recalling the Tennessee regiments. After the march. Crab Orchard, November 15. intentions to return home. Our march has temporarily disabled the entire brigade, and large numbers will be in hospital in a day or two. So ends the "great Cumberland Gap expedition." Last night, the Thirty-eighth Ohio encamped five miles south of London. During the night a decayed tree was blown down in camp and severalthe worst features. The mountaineers of Kentucky regard it as a retreat and the prestige of the victory at Wild Cat turned against us. And so ended the great Cumberland Gap expedition. But I beg you to wait, readers, for an ache from the Wild Cat brigade. If I mistake not, there will be a fierce growl are long from the Tenn

g enough to invade Tennessee. To be sure there is no enemy at the Gap, excepting a small garrison, and if we should move forward it is not likely there would be much fighting at that point. Our latest information from the Gap — believed by the General to be perfectly reliable — is that the rebels have obstructed the Gap with large masses of rock and fallen timber, to an extent which makes it impassable, either by us or by themselves. Advices are also received that they have obstructed Big Creek Gap, below Williamsburg, in a similar manner, and that the main portion of Zollicoffer's forces have moved to some other point not known. A change of Destination. An order has just been issued ordering every regiment in this brigade to move at eight o'clock this evening. The object of it is not generally understood. Those to whom it has been explained are surprised and chagrined. The column is ordered to move back as rapidly as possible to Crab Orchard, and to transport all the s

p. Many of our poor fellows are still struggling and straggling along the road, painfully striving to reach a harbor of rest. This march was as disastrous as a battle and defeat. I have no time now, even if I were not severely fatigued, to depict the wretched picture. I will do it hereafter. The 14th, 17th, and 38th Ohio will encamp here. The Tennesseeans and 3d Kentucky regiments were ordered back to London, after the advance of the former had reached a point three miles beyond Mount Vernon.--Many of the Tennesseeans went back before orders were issued to that effect, proclaiming their intentions to return home. Our march has temporarily disabled the entire brigade, and large numbers will be in hospital in a day or two. So ends the "great Cumberland Gap expedition." Last night, the Thirty-eighth Ohio encamped five miles south of London. During the night a decayed tree was blown down in camp and several men dangerously wounded--one said to be fatally. The same c

If the noble hearted ladies intend favoring them again with an expression of their kindness and sympathy, no present would be more highly appropriate or cordially received. Being a soldiers on the Peninsula, and observing closely the respective duties of the companies, I am fully confident that no company has done more valuable services, or undergone greater hardships; hence rises my warm interest and solicitude for their good. Permit me likewise to say that the General commanding, so fully sensible of the important and hard services rendered by them, has had the company detached, placing it under his special charge, thus paying them a deserving and distinguished compliment. I hope this may meet the eye of some fair lady whose heart and soul are engaged in the noble cause of adding to the comfort and health of an exiled soldiery. I believe the company numbers sixty men. Any articles sent should be directed to Capt. Wm. R. Vaughan, care of J. B. White, Yorktown, Va. Observer.

the brigade. The Kentucky 3d, (Garrard's,) I believe, did not move that night. I know not why. The 38th Ohio and the 33d Indiana pushed forward to the summit of Wild Cat, and halted not long before day. The teams were also moving all night long. The necessity to carry the sick obliged us to leave much stores and ammunition. I am told we left twenty-two tons of ammunition at London. And yet, readers, we are making a forced march to prevent the enemy from cutting us off, or to save Blue Grass. Strange that soldiers should leave their ammunition and march to meet the enemy. At Pitman's we met thirteen wagons loaded with commissary stores, en route from camp Dick Robinson for London. These were unloaded immediately, and proceeded to London for patients and stores. Some of the regiments had necessarily left their tents and camp equipage, so that even had fatigue permitted them to pitched tents they could not have enjoyed the luxury.

The Ruins of Hampton village. General Wool a few days since allowed several visitors at Fortress Monroe to cross over to the village of Hampton, or what remains of it. One of them has furnished the following account of its present appearance to a Philadelphia paper: The first objects that strike the eye of the beholder are scores of blackened and tottering chimneys, standing like mournful monuments of the desolation and ruin beneath.--Passing the outer picket guard of the Union troops at the opposite end of the bridge, we followed a scouting party to the distant end of the town, and observing that the coast was clear, proceeded to explore the ruins.--Hampton was a place of some importance; there is the Richmond turnpike which went through the heart of the place and formed the principal street. On this are the ruins of a bank, fine brick residences and spacious hardware, grocery, and other stores. On the outskirts of the town, on this street, stands the old Episcopal churc

es lying around in the ashes. Each house had its well of pure water, bricked up to the surface; these are now about half filled with dirty water and rubbish, and as they are mostly covered up with ruins, one is as apt to step into as over them; so, should any other person visit Hampton, Virginia, we would advise them to be as careful of these wells as they are told to be of the lizards that infest the ruins of Jerusalem and Nineveh. The Baptist Church is in ruins, although only built in 1846. It must have been quite a spacious edifice for a country town. It has a graveyard, but the gravestones are of modern make, and our "Old Mortality," did not linger long. Almost in the centre of what was once Hampton are the ruins of the Episcopal Church of "Elizabeth City" county. If, in the scene of desolation, there is any one object more prominent than its associates, it is this relic. The walls yet remain, but the interior is a blackened mass of rubbish.

Almost in the centre of what was once Hampton are the ruins of the Episcopal Church of "Elizabeth City" county. If, in the scene of desolation, there is any one object more prominent than its associates, it of a distant picket. It was almost sunset as we strolled into the antiquated ruin. At that time, it happened that small parties of soldiers had ventured to Hampton. Some were seated upon the graves near the church, some climbing to almost inaccessible places on tottering walls, and some seeking for roses in the deserted gar

At the western end of Hampton there are a number of frame sheds standing, which are said to have been occupied by the rebels abundance, and are of excellent quality. To the west and north of the deserted village of Hampton we can see nothing but woods and rolling lands. In these woods the rebels are posted, and occa
