The Daily Dispatch: December 5, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Fredericksburg. (search)
Latest from the North. Charleston, S. C. Dec. 4. --The New York Herald, of Nov. 29th, has been received here. It says Burnside did not advance because his pontoon bridges did not arrive in time. Burnside intended arresting the parties responsible for the delay. The rebels were busy fortifying the south bank of the Rappahannock, in plain view of the Unionists. The railroad between Aquia creek and the Rappahannock is completed, and trains were running on the 28th. An arrival from North Carolina announces that Newbern had been attacked by 4,000 rebels, under Gen. Martin, who were repulsed. The yellow fever had ceased at Port Royal, and active operations would soon begin in that department. Fitz John Porter's trial before Court-Martial was progressing at Washington. The Herald says McNeill, the Missouri, butcher, was merely a militia General, not a Union officer, and presumes that President Davis will therefore withdraw his threat. All the State pris

transportation. It is rumored that Gen. Meigs has been removed and Gen. Woodbury arrested for causing the delay. It is stated on good authority that 180,000 soldiers are now absent from the Federal army without leave. Gen. Blunt, after a forced march, on the 20th, routed 8,000 rebels at Cane Hill, Ark. The battle lasted several hours. The Federal victory was complete. Sixty rebels were killed and the same number wounded. Blunt thinks the rebels will not again venture north of Boston Mountain this winter. The New York Herald of the 3d, also received to-day, contains nothing of interest. No news from Falmouth. The railroad from Aquia Creek is in complete order. A reconnaissance on Sunday discovered no rebels in a certain direction. The rebels were still fortifying, and show no signs of retreat. The Hibernian brings European dates to the 21st. Another Confederate steamer had left Liverpool, and still another was nearly ready. Nothing looking to intervention.

s of travel increased by the passage of every successive vehicle. We are only in the beginning of our troubles now, with the roads converted into mud of putty consistency, and varying in depth from six inches to two feet. The once dry, and, in some places, almost parched surface of the earth, is converted into a grand plateau of streams and rivulets of dirty muddy water; rills have become brooks; brooks have become creeks, and creeks rivers, under the inundation from the clouds. An Aquia Creek correspondent of the Tribune, writing on the 22d, says: Supplies of provisions and forage for the army are landed both here and at Belle Plain — the mouth of Potomac Creek. The distance hence to Falmouth is fifteen, and from Belle Plain nine miles.--Owing to the want of a good landing at this point, most of the transports proceed to Belle Plain, whence their cargoes are hauled overland to the army. Only Franklin's grand division is supplied from this locality. If the tales of
