he army took place, which seemed to furnish material for supposing an advance about to be made. I must repeat a previous assertion, that the only, basis for the belief that there will be a fight on this line, is the supposition that McClellan will be forced to advance by public opinion at the North. Yesterday Capt. Rosser, with the 2d company of Washington Artillery, was relieved on the outpost by the 4th company, under Lieutenants Norcum and Battles. The 2nd company reported to Major J. B. Walton, at the headquarters of the battalion, and are now on duty at Camp Hollins. The 1st company, Capt. Squires, and the 3d, Capt. Miller, are also here. I am very much pleased to learn that Major A. M. Barbour has been recently promoted, and is now Quartermaster of this division of the Army of the Potomac. This appointment has given general satisfaction, I believe, for I have heard him highly spoken of as an efficient and satisfactory man for the position. Major Barbour now has his

boy, the servant of Captain Miller, of the Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, now in the Confederate army in Virginia, having made his escape to the Federal lines, has made his "statement." He claims to have been at the battles of Bull Run and Ball's Bluff, and alleges that he left Centreville on Saturday, the 7th inst. We extract the following: He says that on Friday there was a grand review at Centreville of seventy-five or eighty thousand troops. He heard the list read by Major J. B. Walton, of the Washington Artillery. There were at the review, also, one hundred pieces of artillery — all light, except two 24-pound howitzers. General Beauregard commanded, and President Davis reviewed the troops. Generals Johnston, Longstreet, and Stewart were also there. On the 24th of November Gen. Beauregard gave orders to prepare for winter quarters, and on the 29th they commenced cutting logs for houses. President Davis came two or three days after and countermanded the order

e learned their sentiments and condition. Passing this night in the headquarters near "Camp Hollins," the camp of Major Walton's Artillery, I am placed in possession of the following extract of the report which was submitted in November last to Artillery, which (being mustered into service as a battalion) happens to be commanded by a Major, it is found that Major J. B. Walton, whose services have been conspicuous in that arm, and whose promotion has been recommended by his Generals and is leading artillery companies. From information I conclude that the commander of the Washington Artillery Battalion, Maj. J. B. Walton, who is now chief of artillery of this army, will be the first on the list of promotions to the highest rank named ch a promotion is, alike merited by the metropolis of the South, New Orleans, as well as by the battalion commanded by Major Walton. This, from all I learn, is the desire, nay, in fact, the request of the President and the Chief Generals of the

nd white. Picayune ordered them to indulge no more in such demonstrations of rebellious sentiment, under penalty of condign punishment. How many oboyed and how many were punished, our informant does not set forth. But she does state that Mrs. J. B. Walton, the lovely and accomplished lady of Col. J. B. Walton, of the Washington Artillery, is now in close confinement, because she refused to remove the little flag which formed part of the trimming of her boune. It is thus that the valorous PiCol. J. B. Walton, of the Washington Artillery, is now in close confinement, because she refused to remove the little flag which formed part of the trimming of her boune. It is thus that the valorous Picayune avenges so much of the rout at Bull Run as was due to the well served guns of the Washington Artillery. Persons were being arrested and consigned to dungeons at the whim of the Yankee despot. Our intelligence from the above-mentioned source is to the effect that fifty thousand men had been landed in the city, and were now quartered within and about it, and garrisoning the works of the coast, lakes and rivers. A great deal of sickness, and of a very fatal type, was prevalling among
