g the cold and stormy night. This morning the 1st Virginia started, also, for picket duty, and at an early hour we were roused by the music of their band as they passed through the town. They will bivouac near the Accotinck, about a mile from Annandale. Yesterday some scouts went into Springfield, but found none of the enemy there, nor could any signs of them be seen in the vicinity. His principal strength seems to be in the direction of Munson's hill. The fine grove of trees I mentioned ibuilding resounded with their "ba gorras," and "arrahs," and fairly trembled at the violence of their hand-shaking. --Both men are now on duty in our ranks. This evening the gallant Captain Rosser and his company of artillery returned from Annandale and reported to Major Walton at the main encampment of the Washington Artillery. He left everything very quiet below. The object of this visit is, I understand, to form a more perfect organization of the battalion, after which Captain Rosser

The heavy rain of last night caused such a rise in Bull Run that it was not thought advisable to run the stage to Manassa. I am of opinion, however, that the mall, or a portion of it, went down on horseback. A splendid military bridge is being constructed over the run at Blackburn's Ford, the site of the battle of the 18th July, The work is under the superintendence of Major James, of Louisiana, and will be completed in a short time. It is very ingeniously framed, with piers and abutments of logs, and covered with heavy plank. This bridge will be of great service to the army, to the people of Fairfax and Prince William counties, and will reflect great credit upon the skill of the engineer.

ylor's hill has been destroyed, and the fortification on White's hill, which we called Fort Walton, extended to that point. The pickets on each side remain as they did a week ago in the vicinity of Falls Church. Sometime ago the ladies of Warrenton completed a box of clothing for the soldiers, and forwarded it to the 17th Virginia. The articles were well chosen, well made, and of excellent material, consisting of jackets, pants, shirts, and other substantial wearing apparel. As cold weather was close at hand, and as the boys were not in good winter trim, the box and its valuable contents was voted a God-send. The scene which occurred when the clothing was distributed was pleasant, and could the kind ladies of Warrenton have been near enough to have witnessed it, they would have been amply repaid for their trouble, setting aside the feeling of duty that prompted their labor. On some portion of each jacket and pair of pants an inscription had been written by the maker, and th

Last night the 19th Mississippi, a very large and fine regiment, passed through the village on their way to do picket duty some four miles below here.

The principles of meum and tuum are not very strictly adhered to. Chaptains, in their sunday sermons, are accustomed to call these little elips of the fingers "stealing;" but that seems a harsh term.

Exemli gratia--mith has $10 while Jenkins is completely "strapped." Smith being rich and Jenkins poor, the latter illustrates the principle by taking the $10 and spending it for his own royal comfort. Smith objects to the transaction, but Jenkins does not "peach" on himself, and finally the case is dropped for want ofSmith objects to the transaction, but Jenkins does not "peach" on himself, and finally the case is dropped for want of evidence. Some take property because they are soldiers, and think themselves entitled to everything within reach; others because the imp of mischief is in them, and others because it is natural to them. Undoubtedly there ought to be some classification of the individuals who possess these little weaknesses, but for the present I class them under two heads--"thorough rogues" and "entire rascals" Among the latter can be placed the man who has descended so low in the scale of rascality as to st
