and that Burnside, or his directors will throw everything upon the hazard: expend every man and every round of ammunition upon an honest and resolute attempt to take Richmond, whatever be the result. We hope and believe that with this determination, and only thus, we shall rout the rebels, take Richmond, end the war, and restore peace, prosperity and happiness to this now most unhappy country. Among the casualties we have the announcement of two deaths which will cause great regret--Gen. Jackson, of the Pennsylvania Reserves, and Gen. Bayard, of the cavalry. The former is very favorably known as a gentleman and a gallant soldier — The latter was a remarkable officer. One of the youngest of the Brigadier-Generals Geo. D. Bayard had gained his military experience at West Point. He was wounded in an Indian fight at the West. At the beginning of the rebellion he was commissioned by Gov. Curtin Colonel of the first Pennsylvania cavalry, in which position he proved himself as chiva

ast summary of intelligence from the seat of war announced the successful construction of our bridges and the crossing of Sumner's and Franklin's divisions over the Rappahannock — the former at the city of Fredericksburg, and the latter about three miles below. That no stronger resistance was offered to this crossing than the infantry fire upon Sumner's bridges led our Generals to suppose that the rebels did not design to offer battle in their position below the city, but meant, after a show of defence, to retreat towards Richmond, or at least there were many opinions on this point. But when Sumner's grand division, of a portion of it, advanced to try the experiment practically, they found them in steadfast purpose to contest our advance. the enemy's position could not be clearly discerned, but at about 11 it cleared away, and then the work of death began. Sumner's troops advanced at a double-quick to capture the enemy's batteries on the first ridge. Undeterred by the terrible arti
