TOPOGRAPHY OF VIRGINIA. The Field of War in Eastern iene That of Eastern Virginia which may pespnteias called the field of war embraces nearly the whole of the tide-water and Pied- mont mns—bounded on the east by the Atlantic and the Chesa; e Bay, on the south by North Carolina, on the north and nertheast by the Potemac, and on the west by the Blue Ridge. Hi "s Ferry and Winchester are beyond lue Ridge, in what is called the Valley. This is the oe Banks, that of the Shenandoh, and comprises a belt of country about fifty miles wide, and running the di of the whole State ina westerly direction, between the Blue Ri and the Alleghanies. Beyond Banks, on the west, is Gen. Fremont's department. Eastern Virginia bas been divided oy the President into two departments; that of the Rappsbannock, under Gen. McDowell, com- prises, besides a part of Maryland, the District of Columbia and that part of Vi: between the Biue Ridge on the west and the Freder- ieksburg and Richmond Railroad on the east. Gen. McClellan’s department consists of all the ares east of the Fredericksburg Railroad. It is probable that McClellan extendsas far ashe chooses to operate to the south, in Virginia, and that Gen. Wool’s department, at and about Fortress Monroe, is within the command of the superipr general. = JAMES RIVER. The rivers of Eastern Virginia nearly all empty their waters into the Chesapeake Bay, the only exceptions being the New River and Holston, in the southern part of the State. Leaving out of view the Potomac, the Jamesis the principal river of Virginia. It meets the tide at Richmond, 100 miles from its mouth, and is navigable to that place by vessels of 140 tons. e only considerable tributary of the James, below the Blue Ridge, is the Ap- pomattox, which flows into it at City Point, and earries seven feet water to Petersburg, capital of Dinwiddie county, 10 miles from City Point, and 22 miles south from Richmond. The James is navigable to City Point, 19 miles southeast of Richmond, for large vessels, and to James- town Island it has water enough for a frigate. On m’s Bar, afew miles below oY Point, there are 15 feet water at low tide. It flows into Hampton Roads, near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, and its entrance is closed by Fortress Monroe, Newport News and our cruisers in that neighborhood. THE YORK RIVER. The York river, on which lies Yorktown, is formed by the junction of the Mattapony and Pamunky, and falls into the Chesapeake Bay, above the mouth of the James. Its appearance is rather that of an estuary than its mouth —— thr wisn forty miles long. It is navigable for large ves- poy and is po mile widenat Yorkiows. On the —- formed by the near approach of the ‘ames and York, in their course, are situ- ated Yorktown and Hampton; its southern ex- tremity is Newport News, and at the south- eastern point is Fortress Monroe. Yorktown is a east-southeast of Richmond, and the latter city is one hundred and fifty miles from the sea by water. YORKTOWN. Yorktown is situated on the right bank of the York river, seventy miles from Richmond. It is an old town, settled in 1705, and now has about fifty houses. It was the theatre of one of the most important events in American his- tory—the surrender of Lord Cornwallis to Gen. Washi , Which occurred on the 19th of October, 1791. The rebels are reported to have erected strong fortifications along the river ago Boe works at Gloucester Point, o] ite Yorktown, are represented partic- oe to be very formidable. THE RAPPAHANNOCK. The Rappshannock enters the Chesapeake Bay twenty-five miles south of the mouth of the Potomac, and is navigable for vessels car- rying ten feet water 7 to Fredericksburg, where, it is supposed, the enemy is strongly posted. This place is forty miles from river’s mouth THE ELIZABETH RIVER The Elizabeth river, on which lies Norfolk, rises in Norfolk county, and flews into Ham: ton Roads. It is connected with Albemarle Sound by the Dismal Swamp canal and Pas- uotank river. On its right or north bank is Korfolk. This city is eight miles from ra ton Roads, and 106 miles by land from Rich- mond, with which place it is connected by railroad. At Portsmouth, opposite Norfolk, is the navy-yard. approaches to Nortolk are defended by fort on Craney Island, at the mouth of the river, which mounted some months ago thirty-four guns; by Fort Norfolk, afew miles below the city; twenty guns on Sewall’s Point, opposi! ress other works of which we know nothing. . THE NANSEMOND, ite Fort- The Nansemond river rises in the Dismal and isjnavigable from Suffolk, on the and Richmond railroad, to its entrance —— Norfolk into Hampton Roads, for vessela of one hun- dred tons. Suffolk is seventy-two miles south- east by south from Richmond, and is a vill of about 1,500 inhabitants. From Suffolk it would be ieable to make a demonstration in the rear of Norfolk and Portsmouth. It was at one time that Burnside would do this. The Pig Point and Fishing Point batteries were erected by thejrebels to defend the entrance to the Nansemond. The first- named has recently been sayogthensé it is said, and a rebel encampment is now visible there. On James rive Jamestown Island, thirty- two miles above the mouth of the river, is a fort, and another called Fort Powhatan, about half way between Jamestown Island and City Point. It is said that the rebels fortified a place three miles below Wyoming Creek and other points on this river. mens tases te see ss jorfolk, jes ant; wil 2, from which it is 130 miles, by rail; aa ees is also a railroad connecting it with the head of the York river.

Bissell’'s Engineers Forced Their Way te Genera! Pepe. . A correspondent of the Rochester Union, with Col. Bissell at New Madrid, informs that journal how the steamboats were carried through the bayous and sloughs to the relief of Gen. Pepe. We quote: Col. Bissell stated that he could by hand labor get steamboats and flatboats through the woods and bayous, and by that means land our forces nearly opposite New Madrid, and take all the enemy’s works in the rear. Gen. Pope at once gave him a carte blanche, and he t to Cairo -for four steamboats, six flats, and such guns as could be spared. aoe, sent four steamers, with the bar; & quantity of lum- ber, &c., and one 8 inch columbiad and three 32-pounders. Tools we did not need, for the maaleont carries everything, from the heaviest ropes and screws down to steel drills for unspil guns. Our route is about twelve miles long. of which two miles were through thick timber, and the remaining ten through narrow, crook- ed bayous grown up full of brush and small trees. We cut our way right through, the track being fifty feet wide, in which thirty feet are required for the hulls of the boats. The timber is cut four feet below the sarface of the water. In one short stretch we cui seventy-five trees thus deep, not one less than two feet through. The machines were rigged from rafts and our lowest flats, and worked each by about twenty mer. first place large launches went ahead te cut out and push out of the track the underbrush and driftwood, then the rafts fol- lowed on which were the men who cut down and cut off the trees; then the saws, then two large barges, then one of the steamboats. Very large lines were provided te run from the capstan of the steamboats and haul out by snatch blocks what the men could not handle. Then followed the rest of the fleet, men being sngaged all tno time converting the flat boats into floating batteries. From the river to the levee the distance is about 500 feet; here the water was shallow and the route full of stumps; it took one whole day to pass this—then the out in the levee. Here the fall was over two feet, and the rush of water was tremendous. The largest boat was dropped through with five lines out ahead. Then a cornfield overflowed from a vent in the levee. Here was something of a channel cut by the swift water, and we got along well nearlya aaah of a mile to the woods; here was the labor—two goes) and long miles to the near- est point in the ‘ou. This it took eight days to get Limi oe ‘hen Wilson’s bayou, then East bayou, then St. John’s bayou,which emp- ties into the Mississippi at New Madrid. If you have never seen a southern swam you have no idea how thick it is; a New Yor! elm swamp does not begin. It sometimes took twenty men a whole day to get out a half sunken tree across the bayou. Such a place as that kept us back, as none of the rafts or flats could get by and all had to wait. The water, after we got into the woods, was about six feet deep, with a gentle current setting across the peninaula. In the East Bayou the current was tremendous, and the boats had to be checked down with heavy head lines. Here we found some obstructions, caused by drift heaps, but cutting off one or two logs would start all dewn the current. {17 The late General Lander, a short time be- fore his death, was requested to furnish materials for bis biography, to published in the forth- coming work, entitled “The Officers of the Union Army and Navy, their lives and portraits” In ep ne: he wrote the following characteristic 2 Heapguarrers, Camp Kewry, January 24, 1862 Dear Sirs: I do not know sy See of my life that, in public opinion, would worth noting. i have no time to write history, though 1 am obliged for the kindness which Prompted you to ask me to do so.
