self, with a choice that marks the soldierly habits of the man, lives in a tent in front of the building, in which he messes and transacts the ordinary business of the post. On an opposite hill, about half a mile distant, is the encampment of Col. Leibal's rifle regiment, from Alabama, and a little farther on, but concealed by a thick wood, is the 12th and the 5th Alabama. The latter is now away on special duty, but their tents are still standing, and their encampment kept up. Scattered arount. I have several things on my note-book — facts gleaned while on a visit to this brigade — which I shall reserve for another letter. Something about the cavalry, the arrangements of the camps, the police regulations, the excellent bakery of Col. Leibal, and the daily detail of camp life, may prove interesting matter for a future communication. Yesterday a map seller — a man with a decided Hebrew cast of countenance — came into camp with maps of the battle of Manassas. At the first gla

rooms, are the present quarters of the General. Beyond it, and but a few yards distant, are the tents of the staff, and a little farther on, fastened to the trees, are the horses used by the officers. Gen. Ewell himself, with a choice that marks the soldierly habits of the man, lives in a tent in front of the building, in which he messes and transacts the ordinary business of the post. On an opposite hill, about half a mile distant, is the encampment of Col. Leibal's rifle regiment, from Alabama, and a little farther on, but concealed by a thick wood, is the 12th and the 5th Alabama. The latter is now away on special duty, but their tents are still standing, and their encampment kept up. Scattered around in the thickets are several troops of cavalry, some of which have made themselves well known and dreaded by the valiant Yankees, who sleep with nightly visions of "BlackHorse Cavalry" and flashing sabres, and instinctively keep as far out of their way as possible. Gen. Ewell,

n, very nicely and strongly constructed, with good springs and an elegant cover, is seen standing before our hotel, waiting for the passengers for Manassas. It was a present from the "New York Defence Committee" to one of the regiments from that State, and was captured July 21, 1861, on the "Plams of Manassas." A fine ambulance marked "Second Rhode Island Regiment," is also frequently seen together with others taken from the Massachusetts, Vermontland Connecticut volunteers in the fight at Bull Run. A number of the old forage wagons of the United States Army are in use here, to which horses are attached with U. S. branded upon their haunches. These wagons and ambulances are now in constant use, and are very much admired by our men, as McDowell's legacy to them. By his kindness in furnishing such a goodly number, we have been spared many of the evils that occur from want of sufficient transportation. Among the many encampments in Virginia, there are none more beautiful or more
Fairfax, Va. (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 9
e requisitions for warm clothing and for heavy blankets grow more frequent. The health of the troops gradually improves under the kindly influences of the genial weather, and the hospital beds, which have so long borne the weight of anxious sufferers, are being rapidly vacated. The indications are now very cheering, and we can but hope the next two months may be as propitious to our cause as the past two weeks have been. Nothing of particular importance has occurred in the village of Fairfax or in its immediate vicinity. Matters are remarkably quiet, especially when we consider that this is the centre of the Confederate army, and that within a short distance are the headquarters of both our commanding Generals. For a few days we have been deprived of the usual number of rumors and reports, which, by the way, has deprived newsmongers of their useful occupation, and saved the correspondents many miles of hard riding to ascertain the truth of them. Along the outpost all is quie

The Reorted Mutiny in Washington. --The report of the shooting of four hundred Federal soldiers, in Washington, noticed yesterday, was brought to this city in a letter to a distinguished Marylander, by a gentleman who managed to elude the vigilance of Lincoln's hirelings, and escape into Virginia.--The story goes that McClellan contemplated an advance movement a few days ago, when one regiment mutinied; that they were tried by drum-head court-martial, and the ringleaders shot, as above stated.
