The people here begin to murmur at the idea that they are questioned about their loyalty, and often arrested, by Baltimore petty larceny detectives, who, if they were patriotic themselves (as they are all able-bodied men), would be in the army, fighting for the redemption of Maryland.

Gen. Lee has now been ordered South for the defense of Charleston and Savannah, and those cities are safe!
Give a great man a field worthy of his powers, and he can demonstrate the extent of his abilities; but dwarf him in an insignificant position, and the veriest fool will look upon him with contempt.
Gen. Lee in the streets here bore the aspect of a discontented man, fo

There is a rumor to-day that we are upon the eve of a great battle on the Rappahannock.

There was no battle yesterday, only heavy skirmishing.
Both armies were drawn up in line of battle, and the front lines slept on their arms.
Some froze to death.
This morning the enemy opened with artillery-but no battle ensued that we are aware of.
At the last accounts from Bragg he was still retiring, near Dalton.

Bright and warm.
It is said there is a movement of the enemy menacing our works on the north side of the river.
There was shelling down the river yesterday and day before, officially announced by Gen. Lee-two of the enemy's monitors retired.
Gen. Longstreet says over 100 of Gen. Pickett's men are in the guard-house for desertion, and that the cause of it may be attributed to the numerous reprieves, no one being executed for two months.
Gen. Lee indorses on the paper: Desertion is increasing in the army, notwithstanding all my efforts to stop it. I think a rigid execution of the law is mercy in the end. The great want in our a
