Camp Dupont, Jan. 3, 1862.

Correspondence of the American.

We are in camp on the same old place, and nothing of any interest has transpired since I last wrote. We have had very disagreeable weather for the last three three weeks, it having rained nearly three-fourths of the time. As the getting about is very bad, we have been obliged to stay in camp nearly the whole time, without harnessing out. The roads are in a very bad condition, and it looks to me as if there could be nothing done at present in the way of making a forward movement, and should there be one now the artillery will be obliged to remain behind.
