ng the upper furnaces with fuel. From this destruction the lofty trees of the forest have given place to a stunted though very thick vegetation, consisting of dwarfed oaks, thorny plants, and juniper trees, among which vines and creepers of every description are intertwined, thus forming an impenetrable thicket, across which sinuous paths are winding—a perfect labyrinth, known only to the few inhabitants of that miserable region. The forest is bounded at the north by the right bank of the Rapidan, then of the Rappahannock after their confluence, from Ely's Ford as far as United States Ford; at the west, by a tolerably fertile valley watered by the Wilderness Run; at the south, by the slopes which reach down to the Mattapony; at the east, by a well-cultivated district, where the woods are intersected by large and numerous clearings dotted with farms and dwellings. The southern portion of the forest is traversed from west to east by a large highway, being the road from Orange Court-h

Another division followed it closely; the Third, under Hood, was already on the banks of the Rapidan, and the whole army corps, crossing this river, reached the neighborhood of Culpeper Courthouse on the evening of the 7th. A portion of Ewells corps had started in the same direction on the 4th; the remainder moved forward on the morning of titants, all in sympathy with the cause of the South, was naturally very imperfect.

Consequently, he could not yet fathom the designs of his adversary. Did the latter intend to make a descent into the Valley of Virginia, supporting his cavalry with a corps of infantry, or did he propos

ws. That inaction had been a very fortunate occurrence for the Confederate army. It had returned to the banks of the Rapidan, very proud, no doubt, of the manner in which it had been fighting, but it had lost the illusions which until then it haconceal still longer the movement of the Southern army, will not allow the Federals to reconnoitre the right bank of the Rapidan. Calling together his division, much superior in numbers to that of Buford, he compels him to return to the other bank,ederate infantry has been executing the movement which we have before indicated. Whilst Ewell, leaving the banks of the Rapidan, reaches Madison, Hill, who has been camping near this town, has moved toward the north, as though he intended to reach ht in it for a year, is familiar even with its smallest paths. The two opposing armies once settled on the banks of the Rapidan, Imboden contents himself with occupying the upper part of the valley: his force does not allow him to watch the main pa
