F. Tracy, Traveling Agent. ~C0MMUNICAT10NSr~ Inttlcr from the Army ol the Potomac. Rappahannock Station, Va., ) August 17th, 1807!. ( 7 o the Editor t\f the Press: The weekly visits of the “Tress’’ make me feel as if much nearer Portland than I really am. The visit of our Western friends, the Cat meeting of the true meti of Portland to r Gen. Shepley, are matters n Itich many of us iu the army feel a deep interest in. We are now Keeping as quiet as tins very hot weather will allow. 1 never saw anything quite equal to this for heat. The drafted men are coming in. Stragglers are returning, and some who were taken pris oners at Gettysburg have returned, and our ranks begin to have the appearance of former days. Do not for a moment suppose we are idle, for this army is very far from Unit. The 1st Army Corps, now commanded by Maj.Gen. John Newton, is at this place, on both sides of the Rappahannock river. YVe have a strong position and can hold it just as long as we wish to do so. We now occupy ground almost sacred in the history of this war. Here was quite a battle between “Stonewall Jackson’’ and our army under (ien. Pope. Gen. Ranks was en camped in a beautiful oak wood here, but the rebels getting a battery in range on a bill on the other side of the river, soon compelled our troops to fall track towards Realton. The Railroad bridge over the Rappahannock was destroyed, but was rebuilt last week in the short space of two days, and this a bridge of 250 feet in length, and our cars are now run ning to the South side of the river. We see all around here tire great destruction which brxe. us piaiuly Uiat once Uiis was quite a village, and now not a family remains here. Any one has only to ride on the cars from Fairfax Station to Manassas Junction aud so on to Carthletts and all the way to Warrenton Junction to see the wreck of cars and all the apparatus (or doing a railroad business in one common mass ot destruction. The whole dis tance of 26 miles you will see strowu on either side of tire road car wheels, whole truck frames, broken engines, smashed up cars and the half buried remains of those loaded with Quarter master aud Commissary stores, which were burned on Pope’s retreat. The few inhabitants who remain are sick at heart of their folly, and all whom I have seen wish themselves out of tliia, “the worst fix they were ever in,” as one ex pressed it to me the other day. Not withstanding the hard fighting and long marches we have had, we are ready to move forward at an hour’s notice. We have court dence in Gen. Meade and believe be will yet lead us on to greater victory. There are many Ihiugs we love—our friends at home, our dear old flag, a brave and true man, Are., aud some few things we hate; and among them our enemies at home. We do from the bottom of our heart hate (that word don’t ex press ill despise, loathe those beings, (not men) who are seeking to counteract our ef forts to put down this uugodly rebellion; and while we feel anxious to see this war closed that we may be at home once more with loved ones, we also feel that we have an account to settle at tire ballot box with the traitors at home. We have a thousand times more re gard for the prisoner*" we take from the rebel army than for the miserable sneaks North. Look out, Mr. Copperhead, the day ofjudg meut will soon be upon you and no space left you tor repentance. A sad accident occurred here yesterday. Charles Small, a Sergeant of Co. C, Kith regi ment, was drowned here, while bathing in the river. Sergeant Small was from Wilton, Me., where bis parents reside. He was a very fine young man. and few had more personal friends than he. No less than eight have been drown ed in tire river at this plaee since we cainc here two weeks ago. Sergeant Small’s funer al was attended at five o’clock on Sunday, P. M. Religious service was suspended in the other regiments and all attended this service which was conducted by Rev. George ltiillin, chaplain of tire 14th regiment, assisted by .J.in PaaL- nf tlir* ‘Lilli Vnrk mifi Chaplain Ward of the 104lh New York. The 16th regiment Maine Vols. is the only Maine regiment in this whole Corps, while the 3d Corps and some others have as many as three or four Maine regiments each. Yours, &c., Kenton. Stops and Mark*—No. 6. “Beer Slough,” 1 Uppkb Mississippi, Aug. 12. ( To the Editor of the Prose: We transferred ourselves at 10 o’clock las evening to tire smaller steamer, Jeanette Roberta, aud ware presently oblivious to al tbe beauties of nature, which our route inigli have disclosed by daylight An extra moliot and commotion with louder pulling of oui high pressure engine, waked us occasionally to remind passengers that we were hatigiu; upon a sand bar. Soon after daylight we Uis cover ahead two boats fast aground, and an other just pressing on toward the same shoa or slough (pronounced aloof. She U>o grounds The snxious question with us is, whether wi shall share the same fate. Our pilot provin more skilful, or our boat of lighter draft, w shoot past them without grounding, and wit three cheers for the pilot, and a wave of kei chiefs to the tad-looking people on the imai which we leave beliiud, we pass “Beef Slougli with great pleasure aud soou make a landin at Wabasbaw, a smart little town ou the Mil ne9ota shore, situated ou the river bottom, ui der the hills. ^ “JStarage, Fortrardin;, anil Commission” is the ng* osi nearly ail the business houses c the river. The wheat from the back-lyin farms is brought in to these landings for shi] menu, and the business of transportation transacted by ageuts or merchants under the •igns. The wisest is tran»i>orted in sacks, < in bull, in light, clean barges, from which it raised into tbe elevators at Dunlelth, Dubuqi or elsewhere. We haul up at tbe entrance Lake Pepin to repair our little steru-whe which has taken a lee lurch, iu virtue of co tact with some snag or other obslructic Near this point comes in tbe Chippewa ri\ on our right. Large rafts of Wisconsin tii ber—in the log. Large cranes are floppi about me sand bars, with their awkward leg dragging and dangling like a boy's arm at hi first declamation. A turkey-buzzard wheel r, a"/‘-v tlle distance, and a white crane i, pututed out as a rarityrara arts in gurgll, ratio. Immense bass or other fish leap froti the river as we pass, to remind us of fresh fisl Tor dinner. And so here we enter Lake Pepin Let us go up to the pilot house to observe, y Magnificent! Tin* bottom lauds are gone r ! , ou*' siglit; and wide across from e bluff to bluff, some four or five miles, thf waters spread into a lake-like expanse, said tc be in many parts without fathomable bottom, 5 thirty miles long. Half way up the lake e is a Isold headland called Lover's Leap. Lake City on the opposite shore is a place, of con siderable pretensions, where we laud and take a mail, drop a few passengers, and then push k on across the remaining half of the lake. The difficulties of steering for a while dis i appear, and a green hand from Maine is al lowed to relieve the pilot, for an hour, while r the said pilot instructs a Scotch lady in the legends and history of the various points : which we pass. The lady in question lias , traveled much in Europe and entertains us with her observations upon the people and the ! lands she lias seen abroad. We are over the lake, and by a very narrow passage again wind into the river proper, with high lands on one side and low wooded islands the other. Here innumerable snags are born. i lie low lands nre washed away, and the trees that grew upon them full into the river, to tie carried into the channels and anchored by their roots, to ensnare some ill-fated boat. \Y e passed two or three wrecks yesterday. Which have been sacrificed in this way, within a short time. Dinner relieves the monotony of sight-sec Ing. We apprqprh the little town of Red-win", where we leave an intelligent family emigrat. ing from Canada, to the richer fanning lands ol Minnesota. His hundred acres of Canada farm purchased for him three hundred in the new state; and his boys are with him to assist In opening the new farm and work it up to the rich estate of ten years hence. “West ward the star of empire takes its way.” P.
