they destroyed two large tanneries, a fine flouring mill, and some Government workshops for the manufacture of harness. From this point Gregg returned to his old camping ground, near Warrenton. But for the high water and bad weather, General Rosser would have been able to have accomplished much more. The only change in the situation on our front is the fact that the enemy advanced one of his infantry corps as far out from Culpeper C. H. as Mitchell's Station, four miles beyond the Rapidan river, on Thursday evening last. This is not believed to be indicative of any intention on the part of the enemy to advance, but rather to put infantry on picket on the front in order that their cavalry may be sent back to recruit. Gen. Lee means to give his boys a Christmas treat in the shape of rations for the week of coffee and sugar. Supplies for that purpose have been received, and will be issued by the Commissaries to-day. None will be sold to officers, but all will go to the men

Finding themselves balked in their efforts to overtake and capture Rosser, the enemy turned his instruments of malice, as usual on their route, upon the noncombatant citizens — stealing their negroes, carrying off their corn and meat, and destroying several tanneries filled with leather at Sperryville, in Rappahannock county.

Leaving Fredericksburg on Thursday week, he passed through Stafford and Prince William on to Fairfax, in which county he struck the Orange and Alexandria Railroad at Pope's Head Run, near Sangster's Station. He engaged the guard, both at the station and the one left to protect the bridge, capturing some and dispersing the rest, and burning the bridge. From this point he moved on, swimming Bull Run, and attempted to cross the Shenandoah river near Front Royal, but was compelled, on account of high water, to go farther up and cross the mountains at Conrad's Store.

mond Dispatch.] Army of Northern Virginia., December 26th, 1863. Christmas has passed away marked by few events of interest in the lines of this army. On Christmas eve at night a party of soldiers, about one hundred in number, entered Orange C. H. and made a descent upon the sutlers' tents, destroying and carrying off everything valuable contained in those situated near the depot, including, it is said, some $20,000 in Confederate money, $500 in gold, and some eight or ten gold and sliver watches.--The guard captured some five or six of those thus engaged, and they will be held for trial before a Court-Martial. Divine service was held Christmas day at Orange C. H., Rev. P. Slaughter officiating. After preaching, the solemn and impressive sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered to a large and attentive congregation, among whom was no less a personage than the Commander-in-Chief of this army.

gs, and lasts, and captured the hides from the Yankees which he has thus far used in the manufacture of shoes. I am told that every brigade in the army might organize a shop for repairing shoes at an outlay of $500, and the capacity of half a wagon for transportation when the army is in motion. Ought not every brigade to have one of these shoe shops for repairs? In my last, in mentioning the members of Gen. Lee's Staff, I omitted the names of Lt. Colonel Smith, Chief of Engineers) Capt. Johnson, Ass't of Engineers; and Capt. H. B. Young, Judge Advocate General. There is now no doubt of the escape of Averill but it ought to be borne in mind that be made no raid on this Department, but on that of Gen. Sam Jones. Fitz Lee, I am persuaded, would have begged him but for advices received, via Bonsack's, urging him to take another route from the one he was pursuing. The result was, Averill got clear.
