. Notwithstanding the existing state of quiet on the Southside, the interest which for two weeks has concentrated upon that point has by no means abated, nor is it believed that the excitements of the campaign there are over. The gallant Beauregard is silently, but skillfully, making his preparations to give the enemy a hot salutation whenever he shall see proper to leave the protection of his fortifications; and whenever that time may come, we entertain no doubt of the result. From General Lux's army. All eyes are now turned towards the heroic army of General Lee, which lies in a position to intercept the enemy's approach to Richmond. It was the general impression that a beside would be fought yesterday, but the quiet of the day was unbroken.

Our troops are in the best of spirits, with a morals unbroken, and a discipline unexampled. From Fredericksburg. Persons who left Spotsylvania county on Tuesday last bring interesting intelligence from Fredericksburg. They learned that pickets had stated that the whole of the enemy's force there was under marching orders. The town was only held by cavalry, who were moving everything away as rapidly as possible. The railroad bridge across the Rappahannock has not been rebuild. It is represented that the people have been treated tolerably well, but the whole country in the vicinity has been rendered a desert.

McClellan (search for this): article 1
had been a part of his original design to make West Point or the lower James his base of operations, then he has committed a great blunder in marching across the country from Culpeper at a cost of forty or fifty thousand men, when by following McClellan's route he could have reached the same destination without the loss of a single men.--Grent is a hard headed man, however, as well as a hard fighter, and, like most hard headed men, he has come very near having his head broken. It remains in brticular, but I may venture to say that the army, including officers and men, was never more satisfied with the situation, never more resolute, and never more confident of success.

Nor is it probable that there will be a battle very soon. Yesterday evening there was a severe engagement between portions of Hampton's and Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry commands and the Federal cavalry, but I am not informed of the details, and shall not attempt to go into details. I only know that it is reported that the Fifth South Carolina, Colonel Dannovant, and the Twentieth Georgia Battalion, Maj. Miller, a portion of the new cavalry forces that come on recently from the South, were engaged, behaved very handsomely, and suffered considerably. They repulsed the enemy's cavalry and drove them back upon Warren's corps, which they also attacked. It was here that they suffered most. It is said that Major Miller was killed, with many others, and that Colonel Dunnovant lost an arm. Sallust.
