The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1861., [Electronic resource], From Centreville. (search)
among my friends, neighbors and kinfolk, who have come up here to fight the battles of us who stay at home, and perhaps think and say, too, what lazy fellows the soldiers are. Could the grumblers come and see for themselves, as I have done, the five miles of fortifications and breast-works which the army has thrown up, they would never utter another complaint during the war. This morning it was rumored that a fight was expected by the picket, (the 15th regiment is now on that duty,) and that Gen. Stuart intended making an advance on the enemy. As the 8th regiment was also sent early this morning on picket, it gave some color to the report; but I find rumors and reports here are like those which float about in the cities and towns — they have no good foundation. This evening I learn the enemy at Evansport are constructing pontoon bridges to cross the Occoquon. This, too, may be mere rumor. It is evident that the Yankee nation are anxious for a forward movement. Monticello.
