ever dreamt of danger in the thickest of the battle, and never lost his courage, even when his leg was amputated. The Surgeons say that he cannot survive many days, and that the operations they have performed can only prolong his agony a short while. But I am digressing from main facts. The obstinacy with which the rebels held possession of their ground rendered Gen. Franklin's task a very difficult one indeed. He had to cope with Stonewall Jackson and the veterans of Cedar Mountain, Bull Run and Antietam — troops who understood their business thoroughly, and were not to be scared by trifles. Hence the task of turning the rebels' position on the Massaponax was no ordinary one. Still, the Union commander was not discouraged; he had driven the enemy back several rods and was determined to drive them further.--Old Stonewall had met his match this time, and, notwithstanding his troops fought with their usual bravery, they were gradually pushed southward. At sundown Franklin had s

The city has not only been in part burned, but ruined beyond almost all hope of recovery. All who passed through the village of Sharpsburg two days after the battle of Antietam thought it would be almost impossible to make a town look more desolate and forsaken, but the appearance of Sharpsburg, as compared with that of Fredericksburg, is comely and pleasant. The Character ofSharpsburg, as compared with that of Fredericksburg, is comely and pleasant. The Character of Saturday's battle. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times writes: Accounts received here of yesterday's battle at Fredericksburg leave no question that it was the most terrific artillery combat ever fought in the world. An officer of high rank, who was witness of the spectacle, states that the number of pieces of ordnance employed on both sides amounted to several hundred, and under such circumstances it cannot be doubted that the list of casualties is very large.

osses: The occupation of Fredericksburg having been successfully accomplished, the next move was to drive the rebels from their strongholds in the rear of the city. The lines of the rebels, which extended in the form of a semi-circle from Port Royal to a point about six miles above Fredericksburg, were strongly fortified and protected by a range of high hills. Stonewall Jackson occupied the right wing, extending from Port Royal to Guinney's station, (a station on the Richmond and FredericPort Royal to Guinney's station, (a station on the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad,) Gen. Longstreet the centre, extending to the telegraph road, and Generals Lee and Stuart the left west of Massaponax creek, while General A P Hill's corps acted as a reserve. Lee's reason for occupying the left was because he could be on his guard against Sigel, who threatened to outflank him by way of Culpeper. The entire rebel force is estimated at 200,000 men, and occupied a front of not less than twenty miles. The troops were for the most part veterans who had fought thro

It was arranged that General Franklin's corps should cross the river two miles below the city, with the view of turning the enemy's position on Massaponax creek, while Hooker would engage the rebels nearer the centre, and Sumner would turn their right. By this arrangement it will be soon that Franklin was opposed to Stonewall Jackson, while Hooks and Sumner attacked the centre and the left of the r

d about ten o'clock, and aged furiously all day long. The enemy occupied the wood and the hills in the rear of the city, and in point of advantage the odds were decidedly in their favor. The courage of the Union troops was unbounded, however and every inch of the ground was hotly contested. It soon became evident that the first ridge of the hills on which the enemy were posted behind earthworks could not be carried except at the point of the bayonet, and accordingly General Sumner ordered French's division to charge upon the batteries.--General Howard's division acted as a support, and the troops sprang forward to obey the order with much enthusiasm. By this time the atmosphere was clear, except from the smoke of artillery, and a good view could be had of the rebel position and the adjoining country. It was a grand sight to see the devoted column, Seeking the bubble reputation even at the cannon's mouth. Steadily they marched across the plain, and never faltered until th

The Third and Fifth Army Corps, under General Hooker, formed the centre and co-operated with Sumner's column during the battle. Gen. Burnside was anxious that a movement should be made as early as possible, ando were the victors. Of the killed and wounded there were probably as many on the side of the rebels as on ours. No correct estimate can be formed of the loss in Hooker's corps, but it was pretty heavy. The firing of musketry ceased about half-past 5 o'clock, but the rebels continued to cannonade the city until long after dark.

Viewing with Butler — more Assessments. The Yankee papers, under date of the 13th, have the following dispatch from Nashville. How the prophecies have been realized our readers best know: Skirmishing in front for the last week or ten days has invariably been with the rebel cavalry. No infantry force this side of Murfreesboro'. No doubt the rebels will fall back on our advance to a line beyond Dusk river, where they may dispute the crossing.

During the fight nothing was seen of General D. H. Hill's command, and much anxiety is created as to his whereabouts. It is supposed by many that Hill has gone to intercept Sigel, who is probably on his way to Culpeper, and by others that he may be working around in our rear.
