Falmouth, Va. (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 4
horseman, single or in pairs, and sometimes half a dozen, ride over the hills and stop to gaze upon our lines; the cats utter their shrill scream or intermittent whistle, and wagons or smoke vary the aspect of the hills, now bare of trees. To the eye and ear, then, the town is not monotonous; while almost daily some cheering news enlivens the quiet scenes. To-day we hear that Fitzhugh Lee crossed the Rappehannock on Monday night, some miles above, and scouted down to within three miles of Falmouth, taking 150 Yankee prisoners, killing 40, and having only six men wounded. I hear no other particulars.--Another report says a Yankee picket asserts that the New York Herald says the Conscription bill will cause a revolution in the North unless France, by intervention, unites them against a common foe. Of any further intelligence or particulars you shall be duly advised. I see much complaint among you of high prices; but Richmond, as usual, is behind Fredericksburg, and your suffering

From Fredericksburg.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Fredericksburg, Feb. 28, 1863. Existence in Fredericksburg has decided novelty, at least, although the spice as expressive. By day the ruined houses, burned sacked, and robbed, and gardens denuded or ordinary ornament and inclosure, and trampled in uncouth segments by unusual pains, are sights which bring sickening sorrow to these citizens who see them for the first time. Custom deadens the sensation and blunts the grief. The streets are lively with a larger male population than usually stirs through its walks. To-night the moon pours her light like a flood of radiant pity over the grotesque shapes of her disfigured residences, while belts of unmelted show glisten like borders of ermine upon the edge of ascending and descending slopes.
