Gen Doubleday (search for this): article 3
e threatened to become a really serious affair. The first and second brigades broke camp at about 7 o'clock A. M. yesterday, to move from the camp at White Sulphur Springs to the neighborhood of Fayetteville, then and still occupied by General Doubleday, of Franklin's corps. There was a choice of two roads, one of which led back from the Rappahannock, and was therefore safe from the shot and shell of the enemy, while the other — the most direct route, and considerably more convenient for 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. Sturgis had not been informed that Gen Doubleday was at Fayetteville, and, upon our hearing drums in that direction, we marched in some expectation of meeting the enemy in our front.

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. 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.

the rear of the house, formed in a hollow square, protecting two pieces of artillery, which were planted by the house. A moment more, and a 20-pound rifled shell from a Parrot gun came whizzing along over the line of wagons approaching the river, exploding in unpleasant proximity to the train. Capt. Durrell, battery A, 104th Pennsylvania Artillery, immediately took up position, and opened as soon as possible, being assisted toward the close of the engagement by two or more guns of Captain Romer's battery, L, 2d New York Artillery. The rebels now got five guns in position, three of them being 20-pound Parrots, and a hall of shot and shell flew over the heads of the train, the troops having got beyond range. Capt. Plato, seeing the danger to which his wagons were exposed, many of them containing ammunition, turned back that portion which had not reached the turn, and they moved to their destination over the more difficult but less dangerous road.

aving 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-puth 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. Sturgis had not been informed that Gen Doubleday was at Fayetteville, and, upon our hearing drums in that direction, we marched in some expectation of

Wounded.--Henry Ives, of the same battery, arm badly shattered, amputated on the field; private Amidon, same battery, contusion of face by piece of shell; Charles K Darling, Sixth New Hampshire Volunteers, wagoner, leg fractured below the knee by a shell. I should have stated earlier in this letter that the conduct of the drivers in the wagon train, when exposed to a very hot fire, was most excellent.--They were aware of an order to shoot any man who abandoned his saddle or seat. They all kept their places.

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.

The river is fordable in many places, and this will have very little effect in keeping back the troops of General Hancock's Division and the remainder of the column. This morning has opened again threatening rain, but our army is safe, the mass of it having got over the roads; in fact, the roads have been first-rate for the artillery and teams. During

He immediately rode up to the officer in command and ordered him back. ½By whose authority?½ inquired the officer. ½By authority of Gen. Sturgis,½ replied Capt. Plato. ½But there will be a shell here in a moment!½ said the officer. ½I know that,½ replied Capt. Plato, ½and it's for that reason you are me ground.

a shell in the trains. The enemy succeeded last night in getting their battery away. About dusk they brought a limber over a bridge that spans a branch stream, and our battery gave them a parting shot just as night came on. The Harris Light Cavalry arrived in town this morning, and it is presumed they will cross over the river and examine the country. The First New Jersey Cavalry is also on the scout in this neighborhood. No sign of an enemy is visible on the opposite shore. Gen. Lee telegraphed to the citizens of Fredericksburg yesterday that we were coming in two columns. He was mistaken, as we came in three, with the artillery on the road, making the fourth.
