Ist. It is a relief to the hardegt part of washing-dal'.
2d. It enables the washing to be done in one-third less
time.
It saves clothes from the 141:ay always given by
twisting.
4th. It helps to wash the clothes as well as dry them.
WE BELIEVE IT ADVISABLE TO PROCURE
ONE OF THIS KIND,
BR.CAIISE,
FIRST. The rolls being of vulcanised rubber, will
bear hot and cold water, and will neither break nor tear
OE buttons.
SECOND. The frame being of iron, thoroughly, gal
vanized, all danger from rust is removed, and the lia
bility to shrink, swell, split, Itc., so unavoidable
in
wooden machines, is prevented.
THIRD. The spiral springs over the rolls render this ma
chine self-adjusting, so that small and large articles, as
well as articles uneven in thickness, are certain to re•
ceive uniform pressure,
FOURTH. The patent fastening by which the machine
is tightened to the tub, we believe to be superior in sim
plicity and efficiency to any yet offered.
Finn. It will fit any tub, round or square, from one
half to one-and-a-quarter inches in thickness, without
the least alteration.

MEDICATED SAFEGUARD.
SOMETHING FOR THE SOLDIERS !
AN ACCEPTABLE HOLIDAY PRESENT!
A PROTECTOR AGAINST DISEASES INCIDENT TO
CAMP LIFE! THE SOLDIER'S "BEST FRIEND"
WHEN FACED BY HIS." WORST ENEMY."
DR. D. EVANS' PATENT ABDOMINAL SUPPORTER
AND MEDICATED SAFEGUARD, WITH "MONEY
BELT" ATTACHMENT! THE "MOST USEFUL SANI
TARY DEVICE OF THE AGE! APPROVED BY THE
PRESS, THE PUBLIC, AND THE FACULTY!
It is at once light, simple, cheap, comfortable, durable,
and reliable, acting not only as a remedy for disease, but
also as a preventive! It is endorsed by the highest autho.
rity in the land Among the eminent practitioners who
have examined and approved its medicinal properties are
Surgeon General Hammond, U. S. A.- Surgeon General
Dale of Massachusetts ; Dr. Hall, of "'Hatt.'B Journal of
Health, ;" Dr. John Ware, of Boston; Drs. Bellows and-
Mott, of New York; and all the prominent members of
the faculty- of Philadelphia, -
The Safeguard is composed of Red Flannel, medicated
cotton being placed between. two thicknesses of, flannel
and quilted in small dianionds. The elastic fastenings,
and whalebone are arranged so as to prevent the Safe
guard from - wrinkling or rolling up, or getting out of
place when the wearer is in motion. It does not take up
room in e.e knapsack, as it is worn on the march, and.
gives strength to the soldier. -
The "MONEY BELT" ATTACHMENT is made of fine
water-proof rubber cloth, stamped with a patriotic de.
vice, and affords a safe and convenient redeptacle for the
soldiers' bills and Private papers.

An Old—Fasbioned Se torial Debate.
CSPecial Correspondence of The .ss:.3
WAsHITA 1 or, Dec. 10, - 1862.
It is not often in these days f written speeches
that an impromptu debate a es in the United
States Senate. On Tuesday, ho ever, one Caine. It
was unexpected, and unpreparel or. Every Sena
tor woo spoke (lid it upon the, pulse of the mo
ment, without apparent forethou ~and the speeches
were most interesting, not only oil their matter
and sentiment, but from the earn tness of their de
livery. The question discussed w one of great Im
portance. It was upon a resoluti I introduced last
week by. Senator Saulsbury, of Del rare, asking in
formation from the SecretaiT of Ar about The ar
rest of two citizens of Delaware i •isoned in Fort
Delaware, and theJesolution, of c rse, opened up
the entire question of the habeas rpus, and the
nailitary arrests made by the United tates Govern
meat. Every Senator had his opini of the action
of the GOvernment, and though atong majority
were in 'favor of supporting the , Ad istratiou in
those Measures - taken for the'preSerim on of an irri 7
perilled country, yet an ardent - minork questioned
their pOlicy, and were ready at the- firabpportunity
.- . -
to teat their merits. • _
,' .
.
t On the 3d of December Senator. San bury intro
duced the resolution; Objection": bet. at once
made, on the Republican side; it Waef 1 over,and
was not called , up, owing to- other bu ness, until
Monday. For a _half hour on that day it ms argued,
but the expiration of the morning liou cut off' the
debate while Senator Doolittle Wa53,.4 %king, and
the bankrupt bill intervening, the res•ution waS
over ov r until the next day, when fo , orelhati
three hours it was ardently discussed. I a not my
i f
intention In this sketch to give you the: eches of
'Senators. Such a course would weary yur read-
era, and all I'could write haaheen anticipat 1 by the.
telegraph.
telegraph. I only Wish totlescribe some of .he men
who debated, and to give you a little episotl which
occurred a short time after the debate began'
,
Saulsbury and Bayard, of Delaware,cand . owell,
of Kentucky, were the principal advatoi i i i ? ' the
resolution. James A. Bayard is one 4f the ldest
men of the Senate. He is rather large, somcwhat
stoop-shouldered, and, like General FremoiltOrts
his long, straight gray hair very nearly in the fiddle
of his head. I - iis voice is clear though not Jouand
1
is distinctly heard all over the Senate; He wa very
earnest in his remarks, and gesticulated strenuntsly.
When not speaking he paid much attention ta the
progress of the debate, and often nodded asset or
dissent to the sentiments of h is colleagues. Saulsbury
is a middle-aged man, rather over than under. ;ire.
He has black hair and marked eyebrows, and lets
his whiskers grow at random. When speaking; he
lashes himself into a phrenzy, and brings his 'arms
down fiercely, but always accompanies the tekure
with that peculiar spring of the body which fart tells his hearers that some little fart .at
least of•his ferocity is not genuine. Mr. Saulsbury
is a loud speaker. Senator Powell, of Kentniky, le
slightly bald, and that, connected with the frilge of
whiskers encircling his face, gives him that oval
countenance which always betolcens a mart who
likes peace far better than war—both in nationid and
domestic Rifkin. Powell is not the deepest thjnker
or the strictest logician of the Senate. He talks a
great deal, and his speech rushes swiftly on—kh,
low, grand, heroic, sympathetic, patriotic, and peace
ful—and, excepting his immediate neighbors; but
one-fourth of it is heard. .. _ .
The little episode I wish to chronicle intimately
concerns the Kentucky Senator. His speech kraal
been rushing on, half-heard and but half-heeded for
some time, when Senator Fessentlen, of Maine, lose
to ask him a question. Fessenden is an old man,
tall and commanding, with a head and face and fcirm
which show those qualities of mind which make
him the acknowledged leader of the Senate. He
slowly rose from his seat, took off his eye-glasses,
looked at Powell until that gentleman stopped, and
then, stretching out his hand towards the Demo
cracy, in a calm, kind voice, asked the Kentuckian
a question: "Will the Senator tell me, if he r+e
at the head of the Government, and he were satisfied
in his own mind that an individual, in a time like
this, was about to commit a crime, the consequence .
of which would be exceedingly injurious to the Go
vernment itself, and would strengthen the arm of the
rebellion, and there were no other way in which he
could prevent it, would he not arrest the individual
without law, and hold him by the strong hand for
the safety of the people ?" and having asked the
question, the Senator sat down as slowly as he had
risen, and: awaited a reply. Powell coughed, ex
plained, and apologized, and his speech ru,shral. •
Fessenden again rbAlN A oi.rirmgr r: The ;Oen
tor from Kentucky has - answered a great many
questions, but not Ille,6inf e lyao.2.ask a llini s e l yi n t
LI , C , O4 l tyTo Powell, who, good-natureary, chtirgen
the qiiestioner with making a speech instead of
asking a question, and then rushed - off with the
remainder of his speech. Fessenden looked around
him, and the smile on his countenance told how
well the Kentuckian had been cornered.
Sherman, of Ohio, advocated the resolution, but
for a different reason from that given by Powell.
He supported the Government in its action, but de
sired the information which the resolution called
for. Sherman is very tall, and has a most com
manding presence. Hisstyle of oratory is pleasing.
He is forcible, precise, and always ready for his op
ponents. His remarks had an interest which was
enhanced by the peculiarity of his views.
The opponents of the resolution were numerous.
Judge CoHamer, the elderly Senator from Vermont,
sound in all his views, and with an experience
known to but few on that floor, explained the ha
beas corpus. Senator Hale, of New HarrilTshire,
with his eccentric speeches and his peculiar looks,
walking and standing as straight as a martinet
would require, also gave a word of wisdom now and
then. Wilson, of Massachusetts, and Doolittle, of
Wisconsin, however, were the leading opponents of
Saulsbury and Bayard.
Henry Wilson is one of the hard-working men of
the Senate. Never hire, never backward, never un
interested, he was prepared at once to sustain the
Government to the extent of his ability. Wilson
is an earnest talker; he can scarcely be called an
orator. He commands attention not by beautiful
language or graceful gesture, but by strong, clear,
straightforward argument. The military vest he
wears adds to the force of his speech against the re
bels. When he begins he stands beside his desk,
one hand resting on it, and the other on Senator
Wade's desk, and alongside. This is always his
manner of exordium. As he warms he steps out in
front, and then speaks steadily on till he is through,
and when he is through (unlike some of his brethren)
sits down.
Doolittle is of a different type. He is an orator.
He is .oneof those earnest-looking. men .that bring
back solorcibly to mind the history •of •Lecompton
and the steadfastness of the Republican handful who
resisted Democratic encroachment in days gone by.
Dark hair and whiskers, and a keen, bright eye,
mark. the countenance .of the. Senator.. Mien' he
rises to speak he steps out into the centre aisle, and,
standing on the edge of th e highest step, gives f ull play
to every feeling and full motion to every' limb. His
voice is loud, and is a most sonorous bass. It rings
through the chamber, compelling universal atten
tion. He is one of the best speakers of the Senate.
How soon we will have another grand debate I
cannot tell. The shortness of the session, happily
for the country, precludes long speeches; but these
earnest, sprightly, searching debates, which tend so
much to develop the policy of parties, are always
welcome. J. C.
ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
(Special Correspondence of The Frees.]
There are probably more soldiers encamped in and
around this city than ever before. Upon all the
southern pikes are thousands of United States
troops, and daily alrirminhea occur among our 'ad
v_Anno -rioketa and. those of the enemy. A large
number of soldiers must yet arrive before a forward
Movement can be made; besides, we are yet in need
of cavalry and artillery, to say nothing of supplies
and other necessaries which must be massed at this
point.
CONFIDENCE IN GEN. 120SECRANS.
Unlimited confidence is reposed in General Rose
thins, by the soldiers and people, and, from what can
be ascertained from shadows, he will not move until
he can do so with success. First, he will place in
the field all the soldiers under his command not
otherwise imperatively engaged. Then, the river
must be swollen enough not to endanger the transr
portation of supplies by drawing from the line of
the railroad three-fourths of the troops there doing
guard duty. He will also place his troops under
strict discipline and drill, watching, at the same
time, their comforts and conduct, and guarding
against privations and neglect.
WHEN WE SHALL ADVANCE.
In the second place, General Rosecrans, probably,
will not deem it expedient to move until the river is
of a sufficient depth to admit the floating about of
one or more gunboats. For two reasoner—it will
keep the people quiet, and he can draw from Nash
ville all but a brigade without jeopardizing the safety
of the city. Lastly, the able commander-in-chief will
not move until he knows just where he will move
and what will be the result. ' A_nd when such an
event transpires he will superintend everything,
whether it be a fight or a race.
CONDITION OF THE ARMY
Already his army is getting into fine condition,
and will be able, I . think, in a few weeks, to cope
with all the troops which the enemy may deem pro
per to oppose him with. That the rebels will stand
at Murfreesboro , seems to be an opinion generally
concurred in by every one. And that troops are daily
arriving at that point, and fortifying the whole coun
try around, is a fact which Gen. Rosecrans is well
acquainted with.
A MAN WITH A ROMANTIC NAME *AND
PROOLIVITIES.
Did you ever hear of "Ogilvie Byron Young?"
Whether you' have or have not, such a personage
exists in'theee parts, and is the heroof quite a ro
mantic life. In the last Presidential campaign he
was quite an active Douglas Democrat; and acted
some time ae correspondent of one of the New Or
leans newspapers. After the election excitement
he resided In New Orleani, where he led quite a
fast life, and became the bosom companion of con
spicuous members of the sporting . fraternity of that
city. When the rebellion broke out he was made
a' staff officer under Beauregard, and has the
"honor " of giving the order for:the . attack on
N.A.snvILLE, Tenn., Dee. 6
Sumpter. Later, he turned up in Cincinnati; but,
his antecedents being known, he was arrested, and I
tried as a spy and traitor, but was declared " not
guilty," after an interesting trial. During the oc
ctipation of Bowling GLeen by the rebels, Young
officiated in several capacities, and was generally
known as a shrewd, competent, cool sort of a fel
low, willing to embark in any enterprise realizing
pecuniary emoluments.
When the National troops took possession of
Nashville, Young was caught in the net of getting
away, and placed in custody. Subsequently he was
paroled, and then his troubles commenced: He is a
person who would naturally attract attention—tall,
sliin,iong, greasy hair, heavy moustache, and impe
rial, etc., etc. He is particularly easy in his style,
and .urbane in his manners, and would do no one
harm, unless well paid fgr the act. •
In March last Byroh found grace in the eyes of the
ladieit of Nashville, and received good . treatment at
their hands. He was .well dressed, and took his
meals at a first-class hotel, and discussed the affairs
of .th'e day with Union officers, who seemed to culti
vate his acquaintance. '
But after 'a while . " Ogilvie" fell from grace. First
he left one hotel, then another, and then his clothes
becarne slightly fatigued. He received from the la
dies no more bouqUets, or platters of calves-foot
jelly, and his pecuniary condition waxed queen
As far as my knowledge extends, has never
'violated-his oath and parole of . honor. But, being
a 'Cliaracter possessing enemies a wellasrfriends,,
poOr 'Young managed to get_birnself under arrestat
thelinstapmof eVerEnew.comman der.- Abonf two
morklis ago_he arid,tlieproprietor of a :hotel had a
contrdversfovhich.terininated in the upsetting
_of
Orrilviekuon Young. The ease went to court, and
seteral allegations of a grave nature were brought
ago v insOim.. -- But bis.wit and eloquence again kept
hini . froin the clutches of the turnkey, and again he
Pepinbillated the streets, as happy as though he
weie monarch of all he surveyed. Last night; how
, ever,he was snatched up by-the new ,provost mar
shal general, and sent to the penitentiary. He as
serts that he hai done nothing, but is very jocular
over his misfortune. He says it is all right, as it
was his week to be arrested. Poor Ogilvie, I rather
pity him than otherwise, for he is no more or less
than an adventurer, with more generosity than dis
cretion. ,
COL. H. B. REED, OF INDIANA
I copy the following from the Louisyille Journal,
and trust that it may find a place in The Press. I
am well acquainted with Col. Reed and his gallant
regiment. .The following is a brief, correct little
sketch. Every correspondent gave honorable men
tion of the valor of this regiment In their reports
Of the Shiloh battle: .This regiment did outside
picket duty in front of Corinth, upon the night of
the evacuation. By his brother officers Col. Reed is
regarded as one of the bravest and best soldiers in
the field; 111-health, however, has at last compelled
him to surrender : ' .
"Colonel H. B. Reed, of the 94th Regiment In
diana Volunteers, having
.resigned his command,
arrived here last night from Nashville, on his return
to his home at Fort Wayne,lndiana. The Colonel
bears with him the colors of gallant regiment, on
which Governor Morton purposes to have inscribed
Donelson, Shiloh, and Corinth, the names of the
bloody fields on which it was triumphantly borne
and gallantly defended. The honored old emblem
looks faded and worn. It bears evidence that at
least twenty•four of the enemy's missiles passed
through its folds, while the staff has been fractured
in three places. Nine men who carried this flag on
More hardly-contested fields were either killed or
wounded. Indiana is justly proud of the efficient
and gallant officers, and the brave men of the 41th.
No regiment has done better service nor acquitted
itself with more credit than this. It pursued the
enemy from Corinth to Boonville, Miss. ; thence it
marched to Huntsville, Ala., and to Battle creek,
Tenn. It made the long march from Battle creek to
Louisville, and from thence back again through
Rentucky to Nashville, participating in all the
skirmishes with the enemy during the march."
THE 19TH ILLINOIS
'lt is generally believed that the 19th Regiment Il
linois Volunteers are a hard set of boys. I believe,
myself, that it is not the most moral regiment in the
servioe. But, somehmi or other, they may be com
pared to a bad boy in a neighborhood of better ones
—everything of a villainous nature has to be fathered
by the bad one. In point of drill, however, probably
this regiment is second to none in the West r and the
best i he Zourvve tactics. Many of the officers
w4enbers of the famous Chicago Zouaves, and
the lo'imer colonel (Turchin) was a splendid Euro
pean officer. For the past three months the 19th
has been commanded by Captain Hayden, whom you
may recollect as the orderly sergeant of Ellaworth's
company. Captain Hayden was, a day or two ago,
detached from his regiment, and is acting as military
judge uj,on some complicated cases of a civil-mili
tary nature. He is assisted by Captain Counsellor,
of the 69th Ohio Regiment.

NEW BOND AND OATH.
NASIITILLE, Tenn., Dec. 9, 1862
You have probably seen. some papers containing a
style of bond and oath, signed by Governor Johnson;
and if you have happened to come across any copies
of Nashville journals, you have doubtless ascer
tained that this same instrument occasioned some
talk, etc. The fact is, it was a very discreditable
paper, and the Governor's name was signed to it
without his knowledge. Accidentally some misun
derstanding occurred between the chief of Rosecrans'
- staff and the editor of the Union, and finally the whole
affair Caved in. As everything was done with the
best intentions, it was deemed expedient by the au
thorities to do something for the protection of all
who were loyal, as well as to encourage an increase
of Union sentiment, and the following oath and
bond, and guarantee of protection, was got up, a
true copy of which I send you;
United States of America, State of Tennessee, County
of

Convention or Legislature to the contrary notwith
standing ; and further, that I will well and faithful
)y perform all the duties which may be required of
me by the laws of the' United States ; and I take
this oath freely and voluntarily, without any men
ital reservation or evasion whatsoever.
[SEAL.]

THE AFFAIR - AT HA.RTSVILLE.
Another of those painful " accidents 1, occurred
Sunday which seem to be connected with the Army
of the Cumberland. Early in the morning John
Morgan, at the head of about three thousand cavalry,
two thousand mounted infantry, and a battery of
artillery, dashed into Hartsville, a small town
about fifteen miles northwest of Gallatin, and sur
prised our brigade doing duty in that place, and,
after a short engagement;sueceeded in capturing the
whole force, consisting of the 104th Illinois, Colonel
Moore, (commanding brigade); 106th Ohio, Colonel
Toffel; 108th Ohio, Colonel Peofoe ; two companies
2d Indiana Cavalry, A. Captain Slater; 11th Kentucky
Cavalry, Lieutenant Colonel Stuart, and section of
artillery (13th Battery), Lieutenant Greene, in . all
about three thousand men. Although our forces
were not prepared for any such demonstration, they
faced the enemy for an hour and a quarter; but were
obliged to succumb to the guerilla chief at the ex
piration of that time. Our • lose was twenty-two
killed and between Sixty and seventy wounded, all
of which fell into the enemy's hands.
MORGAN FOILED.
Morgan, after this exploit, ventured towards Gal
latin, but did not get close enough to give Gen. Fry
a chance at him. The whole affair Is very much
like that which occurred at Murfreesboroiast sum
mer, and our loss about the same. We lose in this
defeat nearly three thoimand men, twenty-eight
hundred stand of arms, two pieces of artillery, a
thousand horses, about forty wagons, and a small
amount of"cutup equipage and stores. Morgan
will now attempt to get in at the railroad, but not
at Gallatin, probably. -
Gen. Buell, and staff, arrived in the city last eve
ning; also, Generals Wallace, Ord, and Schoeptr,
and took quititers at the St. Cloud Hotel. Gen.
Buell is looking very finely indeed.. His examina
tion will take place at the capital, I understand. It
is intimated that the General, thus far, has had
matters all his own way, and that his chances for
dismissal are few. However, a bombshell or two
will fall before the caseis concluded.
FLAG OF TRUCE.
A flag of truce was seat out yesterday by order of
Gen. Rosecrans, to convey a number of ladies to the
Confederate lines, who desired to go South; also,
the Rev. C. D: Elliott, whOgoes' South for the pur
pose of effecting an .exchange of Dr. Charlton, of
this county, arrested some time since and paroled by
the Confederates for hirruseif,
A hack, containing two of the ladies, was brought
back after having got out several miles, it haVing
been discovered that a small box, containing contra
band articles, was concealed ,
under the Seat. The
driver—a colored man, named Ike Harris—subse
quently ' admitted that he was the one who en
deavored to smuggle the box through, and . he was
sent to the penitentiary to await further action in
his case. The authorities having become satisfied
that the ladies were innocent of any participation in
this attempt to smuggle through contraband articles,
sent them forward again under a 'flag Of truce, and
the whole party is probably now in Dixie.
PIERS BLOWN 'UP
The rebels have blown up the piers ofthe railroad
bridges, heretofore burned at Duck river arid Har
peth, on the Nashville and Decatur Railroad, and
are removing all the iron rails between Columbia
and Franklin to some point South, and destroying
the cross-ties.
FIRE IN NASHVILLE,
Quite an extensive fire took place in this city on
Saturday morning, between I and 2 o'clock, at the
carpenter shop of Mr. William Simmons, on Spring
street; near the corner of Summer. .An: alarm was
,
• instantly given, and the engines were speedily
brought out and on the spot, but the. flanies mean
thne spread rapidly, enveloping the entire - Shop in a
few minutes„, and communicating thence with
-the shop - oPPI.r. W. N. Dobson, sculptor and
Carver,. onAthe :,:corner of Sumner and Spring,
and ..:to the.Avorkshop of Mr. James Stevenson,
strine:'eptfer; in the rear of Mr. Simmons.
,With - little delay the engines were.put to work, but
the flames had spread so far thatit was imposeible to
stay their progress until they had communicated
with the former residence of Mr. V. K. Stevenson,
on Spring street, and with the residence of P. O'Con
ner and J. J. Figg, on Summer street. Mr. Steven
son's house was so much damaged that the whole
interior may be said to be destrOyed,,with the valua
ble furniture, etc. All the other buildings were
totally destroyed, with nearly all their contents.
- The entire loss will reach from $1.,000 to $15,000;
none of the property being insured. The night was
cold, and the firemen suffered considerably, but they
persevered, and worked energetically for the preser-
Tation of the property. There is little doubt the
fire was caused by incendiaries, as there had been no.
fire in the shop during the previous day. The St.
010141 Hotel is directly opposite the ruins, and the
house was in great danger during the fire: 13. O. T..

SOME DETAILS Or TEE 'BATTLE
HEADQUARTERS, IN THE FIELD
OPPOSITE FREDERICKSBURG, Dec. 11-3 P. AL
Between 4 and 6 o'clock this morning, the pontoon
train, in charge of the 17th and 50th New York
Engineers, and under command of General Wood
bury, proceeded to the river bank, where, with in
fantry supports, an attempt was made to throw
three bridges across the river—one at the point
where the railroad bridge formerly , crossed, and two
more opposite the city, but nearer Falmouth.
A dull haze so obscured the movement that for a
time it was not discovered by the rebel pickets. The
pontooniers had succeeded in partially constructing
the bridges when the rebels suddenly opened a very
brisk and deadly fire of musketry from along the
banks of the river and the windows of the houses,
compelling a cessation•of the work. Some of our
men were shot midway in the stream, and,. falling
overboard from the boats, floated down the river.
Returning to the cover of the surrounding hills,
the men were again formed, and about six o'clock clock
the attempt to bridge the river was renewed; but the
rebels had now been thoroughly aroused to a sense
of what was going forward, and with reinforcements
of sharpshooters swarmed the opposite banks and
houses. Nothing daunted by the hot fire which
they poured in at the reaunearance of our troops,
the pontoonierst went gallantly to work. But in
vain. A storm of bullets envelopeorthem. The air
was alive with the leaden messengers of death. The
planks and boats were riddled by every volley.
Once more they were compelled to withdraw, and
they fell back to the cover of the ridge of hills run
ning parallel with the river. As it was evident that
the rebels were determined to use the houses of the
city for a defence, contrary to an implied agreement
in the correspondence which recently passed by
flag of truce, orders were given to our artillerymen
to open fire upon-the city. Accordingly, Benjamin's,
Edwards', Muhlenburgli's, and other batteries of the
Ninth Corps, together with the batteries of the corps
to the right and left of the city, commenced an al
most simultaneous bombardment. The fog was so
dense that it WAS impossible to see but a short dis
tance beyond the edge of the river. The houses,
however, in which the rebel sharpshooters ensconced
themselves were plainly visible, and to them the fire
was for a time particularly directed. The effect was
their partial demolition in a short time. After the
first fire they became untenable by the rebel rifle
men, who retreated to the rear of the town, where
they took shelter behind the, as yet, unharmed
buildings.
By seven o'clock .the bombardment had become
MI6 r e
--From the vicinity of the Lacy House, a brick
building overlooking the centre of the city, the bat
teries of the Ninth corps raked thestreets with shell,
shrapnel, and grape. Though the fog still continued
to obscure in a measure the results of these dis
charges, yet the wails could be heard crumbling and
the timbers crashing. The rebels, with the greatest
stubbornness, still kept within the city, and at times
parties of them could be seen going from one point
to another on the double quick. The carnage cannot
but be fearful amongst them.
It is somewhat singular that the rebel batteries did
not return the fire of our guns. Up to the present
time they have not opened in response.
About ten o'clock tne engineers were formed for a
third attempt to construct the bridge. The Eighth
Connecticut, under Major Ward, was lying at this
time near the river bank, in support of one of our
batteries. After the previous ineffectual attempts
on the part of the engineers to cross, a party of
eighty men from the regiment, under Captain ➢ larsh,
volunteered to assist in this new endeavor to finish
laying the bridge, and once - more the column, with
this reinforcement !started down to the river:
•
Under the direction of. General Woodbury, they
seized the planks and carried out some dozen to the
end of the string of boats, Placed a part of them, and
were then compelled to retire, under a very gal/ing
fire from the rebel sharpshooters, who were ensconced
securely in rifle pits below the range of the artillery,
and within fifteen or twenty feet of the river's edge.
Two of the Eighth Connecticut were wounded in
this attempt, and the engineers suffered severely.
• The movement having been thus interrupted, the
whole party were ordered back to their original po
sition.
At 11 o'clock it was discovered that one Of the
houses was on fire. The flames, which commenced
in the westerly part of the city, soon spread, and
Fredericksburg is now enveloped In fire and smoke.
An enfilading fire has been opened upon the rebel
rifle pitsfrom our batteries up the river. It has been
successful so far in driving the sharpshooters from
the vicinity of the railroad depot.
The - engineers are now constructing the bridges
without interruption. In this work they have been
earnestly and gallantly supported by the 89th New
York, Col. Fairchild.
The rebels still maintain their ground opposite the
upper bridges. The cavalry are now passing Gen.
Sumner's headquarters, en route to make a charge
across the river at one of the fords.

SKETCH OF FREDERICKSBURG.
Fredericksburg, the city bombarded by the artil
lery of Generalßurnside,. is the chief town of
Spottsylvania county, in Virginia, and is situated
on the right bank of the Rappahannock river, at the
head of tide water. It is between arty and sixty
miles from Richmond by railroad; and sixty-five
miles by the turnpike, in a northerly direction.
Turnpike roads connect it with Falmouth and New
port—the former by a ferry across the Rappahannock
—and another turnpike leading through Wilderness
to Orange Court House, where a railroad connects it
with Gordonsville. The town itself is pleasantly
situated in a fertile valley, and has advantages for
commerce and manufactures. The railroad from
Washington, via Acquia Creek, passes through it,
and thereby a large traffic and trade was done pre
vious to the rebellion. As the through trains gene
rally stopped at Fredericksburg Station for about an
hour on each trip, a not inconsiderable chance trade
was caused thereby in the immediate locality of the
depot. It is distant from Acquia Creek by railroad
about fifteen miles, from which point part of the Pcs
tomac river traffic used to be carried to Fredericks
bum
A good canal has also been contructed from the
town to a point on the Rappnliantsock river, about
forty miles above, by which large quantities of
wheat, flour, and tobacco were formerly received for
exportation. The river affbrds extensive water
power, which, however, has not been much used.
The hills in the neighborhood, varying in height
from forty to one hundred feet, abound in fine granite
and freestone. About thirty years since the prospect
of Fredericksburg being a rapidly rising town was
very great; but it suddenly stopped in its prosperity,
and after, as it were, standing still for about twenty
years, it gradually retrograded in its importance. In
1840 its population numbered nearly four thousand
souls, and in 1850, ten years after, it had only in
creased eighty-eight persons—less than nine each
year, and being about two per cent. in a decade—a
remarkably small increase. Before the rebellion it
contained five churches, one orphan asylum, two
seminaries, four newspaper offices, and two banks.
' The county in which Fredericksburg is situated
has an area of • four hundred square miles, or two
hundred and fifty-six thousand acres. The Rappa
hannock forms the boundary on the northeast, the
North Ann river on the southwest, and the Matta
pony rises within - its limits. The surface is diver
sified by hill and dale. The soil is generally fertile
iri the vicinity of the streams. Two gold mines were
worked within the county in 1850, and, as before
stated, free stone and granite are abundant. The
canal; running northwest, carries the river trade far
above the falls, and the country is interspersed by
the Richmond and Potomac Railroad. Spoftsyl
vania was organized in 1720, and named in honor of
Alexander Spottswood, at that time Governor of
Virginia. The - capital of the county is Spottsyl
venni Court House, a post village on the Potomac
river, and situated over sixty miles nearly due north
from Richmond, with which it is connected by a
turnpike road. The last return of the population
gave over sixteen thousand persons,' about oneshalf
' of-whom were slaves. '•

FalmOuth is a post village of Stafford county,
Virginia, and is situated on the Opposite shore of
THREE CENTS,
the Rappahannock river to Fredericksburg. It is
sixty-six miles north of Richmond, and lathe largest
village in the county. The water power of the river
is employed in two cotton factoriesand two flouring
mills. The river is navigable for vessels of light
draught of water to this point. The county has an
area of 260 square miles, or 160,000 acres, and the
surface of the land is hilly. The capital of the
county is Statibrd Court House, a post village of no
very great importance in a commercial point of view.
At the last returns the population numbered about
eight thousand, nearly one halt' of whom. were
slaves.
The adjoining oounties of Stafford and King George
min along on the opposite - aide of the Rappahannock,
and, together, have an area of four hundred and
twenty-six square miles, or two hundred and sixty
eight thousand six hundred and forty acres. The'
surface of the soil is hilly, partially fertile and par
tially arid. Their united population, at last returns,
amounted to 16,126, about one-half of whom were
slaves. Granite, freestone, and gold have also been
found here—the two fire) in great quantities. The
former is a very old county, having been formed in
1676, and.named after the English county of the same
denomination. The water power and drainage of
Staflbrd are very good, and, if properly used, would'
have been sources of wealth to the inhabitants of the
neighborhood. The before-mentioned railroad also.
interaects Stafford county. Fauquier county adjoins
Staflbrd county on its western border. •
THE ItAPP4HAISTIOCH RIVER. •
'The Rappahannock is a river situate in the east
ern part of Virginia, and is formed at the eastern
extremity of Culpeper. county, by the confluence of
the North and Rapidan rivers. Flowing in a-south
easterly course, it falls over the primitive ledge and
meets the ocean tides at Fredericksburg, where it
affords extensive water power. It now becomes a
navigable stream, and, after forming the boundary
between several counties on each hand, enters
Chesapeake Bay between Windmill and Stringray
Points. Its general direction • is -southeast, and its
whole length about one hundred and twenty-five
miles. A canal, forty-five miles long, has, within a
few years, been opened along the river above the
falls, to the mouth of Carter's creek.—N. Y. lihrald.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
THE MONEY MARKET.
PHILADBLPHIA, December 12, 1882.
The delay of news- from Fredericksburg, Va.;
would have brought street operations to something •
like inactivity, had it not been that news was ex
peeledof the most cheering character. Gold suf
fered a decline on a very . weak market, 131 being the
best bid at the close. Old demands fell to 1253‘,• and
closed at that figure. Government securities were
firmly held, a brisk inquiry being observable for the
certificates of indebtedness. Money is in active de
mand at 5@611 cent., on call, with-almost an entire
absence of good commercial paper.
The new national loan sold at the Board of-Bro
kers, to-day, at one-half per cent. above par, which
is a sign of the value set upon it by those desiring it.
At the office of Jay. Cooke, Esq., the subscriptions
amounted to over one hundred thousand dollars.
The pause in the receipt of intelligence from the seat
of war in Virginia caused a slight disinclination
among those desiring investment, as many believe
we are on the eve of important events, which may
affect the market value of securities.
The stock market was quiet but- steady, - a - very"
fair amount of business being done. Government
bonds ruled at yesterday's figures. State fives were
held at a higher figure. City sixes, new, were steady

111.ANT3FACTURED IROX.—The .Glasgow. 'Ad
vertiser, November 18th; says : The demand for rill
kinds of manufactured Iron continues good. parti
cularly for plates,and . other shipbuilding iron. The
late sale of so many of our Clyde steamers to the
Confederate Government- and others. concerned in
running :the bloCkade, has caused a great demand for
new ateamers, and given an impetus to this branch
of trade. I, common bar there is an unusual trade
at this season of the year ; makers are fully em
ployed, and prices steadily maintained. IVT..ost of the
makers have orders in hands to cern - them well
over this yeitr. - For first-class bars the:price is still
.f. 7; second-rare: brands generally 460:0- 6d. 41 1 1 ton,
usual discouiit f. o. b. here. A few of the second
rate makers are booking orders at .4g. 158.,"and we
believe even at these pikes it is diitleuAt to contract
forward to any extent, makers generally believing
in higher prices in the spring. -
