The battle oouiiiie:u‘.ed on our right, the enemy
making the attack. Burnside’s advance forces
reaching the ground iu good time, rendered the
resistance of the Federal army, against our ad
vancing columns, an impediment to speedy suc

created snch a profound regret throughout the

ifications v.ere added Those who iuforiued us
of the 1 inji s expression, added that lh*» whole
tone of the article was that of disappointmeut
Court House, and the banks of the Rapidau, where are
pouring in and emptying out the immense stores of
supplies upon which this wonderful Hiiiinal, ihe army,
is to subsist. It he couj l lopk in at “headijiitvrters, ’
he would tind a calm, dignified gentleman issuing his
orders for the day, his stati' busy, his couriers gallop
ing to and fro, and his body guard awaiting the moment
when he shall himself take saddle, and commence the
out door duties of hi.=! position.
Vou cannot imagine a plainer or more unostenfalic>u3
looking man than the Commander in-Chief of the Con
federate armies—tleu. Lee. Take a human form, say
five feet ei;jht inches in height, its constituents well knit
together, full in its proportion!?, and yet without super
fluity. .\dd to it ^ well shaped, squarely built i»ead,
with a front whose every line is marked with energy
and genius, a pair of keen, dark eyes—brown in the
parlor, but black in the tieM—that seem to embrace
every thing til a glance; a handsomely shaped nose, such
as Napoleoo liked to .see on his Generals; a mouth'indi
cative ot an iron will, and a countenance whose natural
expression is one of gentleness and benevolence; cover
the hea'l. month and lower part of the face with a heavy
growth of short grey hair; invest ihe whole figure with
prace, and an unassuming consciousness of strength,
purpose and position; let it speak to you in a voice whose
tones of politeness never vary, whether uttered to the
highest or the lowest in rank, and you have as full and
cotnpleie a description as I can give of the distinguished
msin. who, at this moment, holds in the hollow of his
hand the destiny of his country.
After being iu motion all day the army is now com
paratively at vest, but ready, to commence an attack
upon the enemy at any moment. The roads are blocked
up with quartermaster and commissary trains; the dri-
ve»s are asleep upon their wagons; tht> woods are thick
with soldiers, and five thousand camp fires are already
cooking the evening rations. We are upon the banks
wJ. 1 dir..,tly opposite the town of
Waterloo. Th- enemy are strongly poated on the hill
sides across the nver, and with the naked eve we can
plainly see them nroving to and fro—cavalry infantry

In the S.)(i’s the hair on the right side of the

streak of li^ht upon it iu the counterfeit, which
gives it more the appearance of a churn-dasher;

feit between the 1’ and T in the “except” in the
words “receivable for all dues except export dues.”
In the genuine 6lM>’s there are two ships in the

W e have received some intelligence from a pri
vate letter relative to aflairs in Norfolk and Prin
cess Anne counties. 'I'he enemy continues to
rob the citizens of their slaves. Gen. V'iele al
lows no negro to return who comes into his lines.
1 he picket.s, however, stationed at the sally port
of the entrenched camp have arrested and re
turned .several runaways to their ma.sters. This
may be umicrstood, however, by the fact that
they are well paid for it. The negroes are ship
ped ofl to unknown ports every week. Many of
the negroes have returned to their masters be
cause they were fed badly and had to work. The
letter above referred to gives some account of the
brutality of the \ankees towards the negroes. A
large number were killed at Old Point during the
last of J uly, for insubordination. It is also stated
that one of our batteries on the James river sunk
a barge in tow having OSO negroes on it, mostly
from the lower counties, all of whom were lost
except four. The captain of the stom tug, when
the barge was tired into, cut her loose, thinking
that our men would endeavor to capture he^
knowihg that there were slaves on board; but
they continued firing until the barge and all in
herwas^unk. None of our good citizens have
yet taken the oath, nor will they ever do so
Only fifty have taken it in Norfolk, none of
whom were citizens of any re.spectabiiity or in-
flueuce. Property has not been much troubled.
