The Daily Green Mountain Freeman

New York, Dec. 27. A special Washington despatch says all our sick have been brought from Falmouth. The request for transportation is so great that outside supplies cannot be forwarded to the army.

Our troops have already made many rude wooden structures for shelter. An old lady arrived here yesterday from Fredericksburg, having passed into our lines under a flag of truce by Gen. Longstreet, to meet her husband, who is a Union refugee from that city. She reports that the rebel soldiery treated the property of the citizens quite as badly as the Yankees, and that only one person not connected with the army was killed at Fredericksburg—a woman who was enceinte. She says that the leaders of the rebel army are constantly promising the soldiers to lead them through Maryland and go into winter quarters in Philadelphia. She was in Richmond not long ago, and represents the scarcity of shoes and other necessary articles of wearing apparel as almost incredible.
