Burnside (search for this): article 1
From Fredericksburg. All that we heard yesterday from this town, upon which is centred the great interest of the war, was that all was quiet to a late hour in the day. There were reports that the enemy were leaving their position opposite the town, and as no active movement has taken place in front of our lines, it is not improbable that their forces are being withdrawn for embarkation at Aquia creek. The condition of our men is spoken of as being good, and it is likely that Burnside was not eager to risk a fight with the army he found confronting him. The concentrated effort of the enemy will no doubt be made from the South side.

Jefferson (search for this): article 2
Investing in bonds. In some parts of the State there is a patriotic disposition manifested to invest money in Confederate bonds, in preference to indulging in speculation in the necessaries of life. The county of Jefferson has within the last three months, as we are informed by one of her principal business men, sent to Richmond nearly five hundred thousand soldiers to be funded in eight per cent bonds, thus relieving the circulation of the Government to that extent. If every county in the Confederacy would do as well, there need be no apprehension of a depreciation of the Government currency. Jefferson is one of the counties, too, that has been in possession of the enemy nearly one-half the time since the war commenced.

August (search for this): article 3
markable promise and most excellent qualities, social and otherwise, and one who would have made a noteworthy mark in the world had he been spared. He is universally lamented in this corps, with which he had been connected since the 11th of last August, and Capt. Durell mourns in him his best and most trustworthy officer, which is saying nothing derogatory to the other brave men in his command. While Capt. Plato (to return to the attack) was turning back that portion of his train which hadthe enemy with his six 20-pound Parrots, silencing their guns in about half an hour. One of his shells, I am glad to say, entered the house where Conuth had been betrayed, and beside which the rebel battery was planted.--It is singular that last August he occupied the same position with his battery, and fought the rebels over the same ground. At the last accounts we heard from the Springs, Gen. Burns still occupied them, and there was no enemy in sight. It was a little singular that Gen.

With these exceptions the entire train was got off in safety, having been extricated from an exceedingly unpleasant predicament. The second brigade, General Ferrero, being nearest the train, had meanwhile been ordered back to its protection. General Getty, of the third division, followed closely by General Burns, of the first, arrived on the ground about half past 9 o'clock, and by 10 o'clock Benjamin's famous battery R, Second U. S. Artillery, took up a commanding position on the hill above the ruined hotel, and opened on the enemy with his six 20-pound Parrots, silencing their guns in about half an hour.

The troops took the direct road to Warrenton Junction early on Saturday morning, and encamped on the evening of that day in the vicinity of the Junction, and ing seem to be nothing but muddy pools. Water is very scarce, and the troops, after the long march, were suffering for the want of it. At the headquarters of General Sumner there is a well of good water. The advance guard placed a sentry over this well, ordering him to allow no one to get water from it except an officer from headquarters. When Gen. Sumner heard of this order he went to the sentry at the well, in person, and gave him instructions to let all get water who wanted it, at the same time stating that he would rather go without water himself than to let his men go thirsty. Some of the inhabitants of this almost deserted region have been in

French the centre, and Gen. Howard on the left. This constitutes Gen. Couch's corps. The ninth army corps, commanded by Gen.--and Couch's corps, are under the command of Gen. Sumner.

The troops took the direct road to Warrenton Junction early on Saturday morning, and encamped on the evening of that day in the vicinity of the Junction, and again started early on Sunday morning, making the next camp near the Spotted Tavern, in Stafford county, Fauquier being the county we had been passing through. Nothing of any great moment occurred during the march, except that it was conducted with great order — few or no stragglers to be seen — and such was the rapidity of the march that the citizens of the very few houses to be found were taken by surprise, not dreaming of an advance of our forces.

Howard (search for this): article 3
From the North. We continue our extracts from Northern papers of the 21st inst.: The Yankee march to Fredericksburg — Incidents on the Route. The army correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes the following account of the advance on Fredericksburg: As we stated in a previous dispatch, our forces passed through Warrenton in three columns, Gen. Hancock on the right, Gen. French the centre, and Gen. Howard on the left. This constitutes Gen. Couch's corps. The ninth army corps, commanded by Gen.--and Couch's corps, are under the command of Gen. Sumner.
