of Northern Virginia and of the Potomac are no longer in hybernis, with pickets walking dull and monotonous beats. Everything is life, animation, and activity, Burnside, after a long season of preparation, has quit Annapolis, and is once more about to essay the fortunes of war with the ill-fated Army of the Potomac. Hooker has 000 infantry. It consists of the First, Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth corps, which have been consolidated into three corps, the old Ninth army corps, formerly Burnside's, the Eleventh and Twelfth army corps, which have been merged into the Twentieth army corps, and placed under Hooker, also six thousand negroes — these latter forming Burnside's corps d'armee. From all that I can gather, the Yankee army comes entirely in obedience to the behest of power, and have little hopes of success. Our army is hopeful and buoyant, and will no doubt add another to their many and well earned victories. At this writing, 10 A. M. at Orange Court House, no firing

er yesterday, we learn that the enemy have advanced a cavalry force to New Kent C. H., within six miles of the York River Railroad, and drove in Col. Shingler's pickets. The force at West Point having completed the repairs to the wharf are busily engaged rebuilding the railroad in this direction.

Official information was received yesterday afternoon of the advance up James river of thirty four gunboats, monitors and trans ports. At last accounts they had reached Bermuda Hundreds, on the south side

Such an event was a Godsend! The nation was happy! Now, what sort of honor is this for a General! If Grant accepts it, he is nothing but a Yankee after all. He certainly can have no lofty ambition and no very elevated notions of true honor. Such a sword might do honor to Fremont, or Burnside, or Milroy, or even Butter; but we had thought a little batter of Grant. But McClellan's friends, although out jockeyed in the great sword race, are determined that their own Mac. shall have a sword too.

Lee can never be defeated in the field by men who wear such swords as these!
