Yankee Morality. --The following letter, directed to "Lieut.-Col. Joseph Dickinson, A. A. A. C., Centre Grand Division, Army of the Potomac," was captured in one of the enemy's wagons near Chancellorsville a few days since. The tenderness of the allusion by the writer to her husband is inexpressibly touching: Washington, Jun. 14, 1863. My Dear Friend: I received your note to-day, and I was delighted to think you still remembered me. I hope you are well, and are enjoying yourself in Boston. I think it a charming city in winter. I hope, when you return, you will come and see me often? If my husband should be killed some of the battles please consider me as engaged to you.

An interesting Affair. --Quite an interesting scene, in connection with the Christmas holidays in Richmond, was presented on Sunday last, at the Bethel Mission Sabbath School. The opening lesson for the day was the 2d chapter of Luke, which was read in concert by the entire school, after which all united in singing a few appropriate pieces. The Superintendent then distributed a Christmas gift — a beautiful and appropriate book — to each child in the school, to the number of some one hundred and thirty.--Several addresses were delivered, and other appropriate exercises indulged, when the pleasant scene close

Rucker, (of Island No.10 memory,) made a brief stand, but being overpowered by the superior numbers were compelled to retreat, and the town once more fell into Federal hands. Our long wagon trains were now hastily set in motion, and on the night of the second moved around Knoxville, and traveled several miles on the Morristown turnpike, at which point they subsequently halted and awaited orders. Burnside meanwhile was firing signal guns to notify the advancing Federal that he still remained in possession of Knoxville, and would hold out until their arrival. Under these circumstances nothing remained for Gen. Longstreet to do but to quietly remove his army, and transfer his base to a point where he could threaten Knoxville from the opposite side of the town, and establish communication with Bristol, Lynchburg and Richmond. These intentions were known to President Davis in advance, and if I

His reference to the barefooted soldiers of the command cannot tall to elicit the sympathies of our people, and some effort should be speedily mush to furnish these gallant soldiers with shoes. The letter is dated near Rogersville, East Tennessee, Longstreet's corps, December 11. We make the allowing extracts: The failure of our troops to capture Fort Sanders on Sunday, the 29th inst., as demitted in a former letter, necessitated a speedy change in the position of the army. At this time Knoxville was invested on nearly every side, and the Federal ware restricted in their rations.

Communication with Gen. Bragg had been severed, and London was threatened. A large amount of stores accumulated at the latter point, consisting of Hour, beef, provisions, (supplied by friends at home,) boots, shoes, and clothing, were accordingly distributed to the cavalry at that point until every man was beautifully supplied. The remainder was then destroyed by fire, which also consumed about ten bushels of letters — the accumulation of two weeks. Four valuable locomotives and a great number of box-cars, loaded wit
