lowing (Sunday) morning. No order as to regularity of marching could be maintained, each getting along as best he could. My captain, myself, and several others were amongst the first to get to camp-how glad were we to get there. We found hot coffee and warm fires. So, drinking the coffee and toasting our feet, we retired for the night. We got to camp about eleven P. M. R., Eighteenth Virginia Regiment. --Richmond Dispatch, Dec. 30. Another account. camp Centreville, December 27, 1861. Editors Dispatch: Several communications have been published in your columns recently, describing the battle at Dranesville, but none of these contributors have been explicit enough to describe the positions and conduct of the South Carolinians in that engagement. We do not wish to claim for the Sixth South Carolina regiment any unmerited honor, but desire simply to place her position and conduct fairly before the public, and to correct some erroneous statements previously made wi

Abe Lincoln and Queen Victoria.--We mention as one of the on dits of the day, by the flag of truce, that Abe Lincoln, the President of the Rump, has been prevailed upon to sue out a writ of divorce from his Polly Ann, for the purpose of marrying Queen Vic., and thereby secure the interest and assistance of Great Britain in suppressing the rebellion; and it is said the Yankees are greatly rejoiced at the opportune demise of Prince Albert, as it thus opens a road to them to effect so desirable an arrangement.

an act we may be forced to disavow. A war with England would be nothing less than self-destruction on our part, amounting to madness. Our only course is to yield to England's demands under protest, as to an acknowledged superior force, settle the rebellion, and then, when our hands are free, call on England for an apology or fight her. This course will not dishonor us, and will enable us to continue operations against the South unembarrassed by a foreign war. camp Pierpont, Va., December 27, 1861. You have doubtless seen in the papers the enemy's account of the Dranesville fight. From their own showing they had a larger force than we, and chose their own position and time of attack, and yet were not only beaten, but most ignominiously driven off the field. It is without doubt one of the most brilliant and successful affairs of the war, and the only success that has been accomplished as yet by the Grand Army of the Potomac. You are mistaken in calling Ord a civilian. H

ome either for General Johnston or Smith, G. W. and Kirby. It might be well for me to enclose to General Johnston (unofficially) the two orders, and state the circumstances of the receipt of these packages; or, you could do it. I send you a paper for General Hill. I also send a package of envelopes which I had ready done up to send you, when your message was delivered. The pencils were sent at request of Colonel Chisolm. Yours truly, Thomas Jordan. Summers House, Dec. 27th, 1861. Dear General,—It is so bitter cold in the wind, to-night, that I shall not go over. I would have gone over this morning, to consult your wishes as to some office matters; but, just as I was about to leave, I was informed you were not at home. I submit to your consideration the rough note of a letter to General Johnston, on a subject really of importance. The War Department persistently ignore the existence of corps commands, and address you as Commander of the Potomac Distri
