Editorial Correspondence.
Camp 8th Georgia’ Regiment
Near Fredericksburg, Va.,
Decombcr 10th, 1802.
Deau Courier : The situation of our
army and tlmt of the enemy, also re
mains ns it was when I wroto you lust,
and "camp life” is as dull and monoto
nous as it well can be, considering tho
proximity of the two grand hostile
armies. There Seems to be no appre
hension of an immediate fight. What
ever opimViis may be -entertained, or,
however, men may think in regard to
an enrly conflict here, they nil. have
a sort of instinctive feeling in their hearts of
safety, that gives entire quietude on
(his subject. If however, Burnsides
should have the hurtlihooU- to attempt
to'cross tho river, it s.-ems that, by a
judicious arrangement of Our battci-ic;
and ihfun try forces,' We could "ridd le hi m
into Ueihrags” .before he could estab
lish a line of Buttle on this siile.-ir
Of course lie lias'a vast army, hut from
tho best information I can get, if ho
fights us hero, wo will come nearer
meeting tiio enemy with- cquuk num
bers, tiian we over.liuvo in any great
battle, before. And bcsides.our troops
are in excellent health and spirits, and
they will, if called upon, Vput up, at
least, as. good a fight” us they over havo
done. Many think they see -the "be
ginning of the end of the wr.r,” and
are persuaded in their own minds,
that a gonerul victory here, would,
probably induco old Abe to give up
his "big job” of subjugation.
Although- it has been clear with
bright sunshine every day sine'e, the
snow that fell last Friday has not all
meltod, even in the fields, yet. So you
can judge how cold it is.
On last Sunday our brigade moved
camp about a mile, for the purpose of
getting firo wood convenient. If. by
the way, the army remains here much
longer, fuel will become scarce. Al-
eady the farmers in this vicinity
think they are ruined. They did not
have much woodland when the array
came, and on many farms moro than
half of what they had is already cut
down and consumed. Provisions and
forage arc also becoming hard to get
at.. One Quartermaster now hauls corn
22 miles, and the whole country is
cleaned of beef, pork, wheat and any
thing else soldiers can eat. It is no
small amount that satisfies 100,000
men and 15,000 or 20,000 horses,—
Those states and sections that have

Recognition. ; u . .
Tho Richmond Dispatch says: A
gentleman of tho liigheit reputation
for talents and lorcisicht returned to
this city some months ago, from a rosi-
denco of several years in Paris, from
which point lie had Watched wiLh in
tense care tho movements in the politi
cal world on both sides of the Atlantic,
As the result of his observations, tho
predicted six weeks ago that-the Empe
ror of the Fronali would in a short'
time propose to England to offer tho
joint mediation of Franco and that
country, with a view of bringing about
an nrmcsticc, preparatory^ to a final
settlement of tho ‘difficulties between
tho belligerent parties in tho present
war. lie was sure it would bo rejected
by l ari Russell in the nnme of Great
Britain, and he prodiotod that tho Em
peror would then proceed onjlus own
responsibility lo make tho otrer in his
own name. Thus fur he lio3 proved
himself to bo a truepropliet, anda very
little ttmo will determine whether he
is so throughout, Of course it wus un
derstood by both himself and those to
whom he spoke, that recognition was
to be the result of mediation, '
Crimes of commission and permis
sion always moot with retribution in
the political world. Perhaps. England
may yet repent of having made ene
mies of those who earnestly desired to
bo her friends.

“Every day tho enemy sends out a
