The greatest, saddest, and most
heart•sickened blunderer the,Wl,l`r, has
just been committed, and thousands
mourn the dread catastrophe.• Urged
by peremptory orders from the War
Office, and against his own better
judgment, Gen: 'Burnside has been
forced to cross the Rappahannock
with the gallant Army of the Poto
mac, and give battle to the enemy in
his entrenchments near Fredericks
burg, only to discover that his posi •
tion is impregnable, and to retreat
with aloes of nearly 15,000 men !

eitai of carnage and deata which
comes to us from the scene of battle.
A rasher venture, a more reckless ad
vance, or a more wanton sacrifice of
precious human life, was never known

In the face of such a reverse, the re
sult, not of faltering or want of cour
age on the part of our brave soldiers,
but of sheer incompetency in those
who have assumed the direction of
the war, one is almost driven to de
spair of the Union cause, and to ac

A Cabinet Resignation. -
There is a break hi the Cabinet—
the political waters at Washington
are moving. It appears that on the
ltth (Wednesday) the Abolition Sen
ators held a. caucus, the...final result
of which was the adoption of a rose
lotion recoil - unending to Lincoln a
partial reconstruction of the Cabinet.
The President. was informed, of-the.
action of the caucus by a committee
who waited upon him for that pur
pose. The Secretary of State, Hon.
Win. IL Seward, on being notified of
the' fact, immediately tendered his
resignation, as did also M.r. Freder
ick- W. Seward, Assistant Secretary
of State. It is 'rumored that resig
nations of oilier members of the Cabi
net would follow,but up to this wri.
ir A
tin none have oen nnounced. On
Saturday e evening the rumor was ex
tensively cireillitted in this City that
lion. Simon Cameron had been ten
dered the position vacated , by 'Mr.
Seward, but we do not credit it. An.
other rumor, that lion. Charles Su M
net' had been chosen, was also afloat.
Should this prove correct, the change
would prove - injurious to the country.
A. crittrtg,e lof Cabinet at this time will
be productive of'no good without a
change of policy; and; with Cameron
and Sumner, or either of.' them, in
the' new arrangement, no- change
vonld be expected, as both arc :mew
ed Abolitionists; and
for
the
President in clamoring for emaricipa.
lion as a feature of the War policy:
- The opportunity offered Mr. Lin
coln is 'a favorable one, if he had the
sense .and patriotisfn to improve 'U.,—
Ile might immortalize himself and
save the country ADY ( remodelling his
Cabinet in accordance with;' pablic
sentiment, as expressed in the late
eleetiOns. But he will' not do it:—
.
He is a weak, vain fanatic,- lacking
both firmneis and, honestyed'that
the country has much to fear and
little to hope from the Changes he
may make.—Patrid'and' Union.
Senator Fessenden, of Maine, and
Speaker Grow: of thellouse are' also
spoken of in connection with seats
.
in the new Cabinet. Secretaries
Chaise and Bates are •also said to
have. resigned, and Blair,, who is very
objectionable to, the ex Temists,
fuses to resign, but will- be removed
if a reconstruction takes place.
The latest accounts, howeVer. are
that the President-refuses to receive
any of the,resignations, and , that the
Cabinet Wilt protably' remain as 'it
now is for the present.'

this Matter clearly before your minds,
gentlemen,l would go on to remark
that no doubt you haVe heard retriarks
about one of our` military Generals.
Now I ant not going to make. the
slightest statements regarding this
individual gentleretin,,,bat perhaps it
would not be a violationi of state se•
crets to remark that the press and
the country Seems to be down- "on

If I were to say that General Pope is
that individual Yotrwould hare an
idea that-I was telling the truth, hut
I hope Yon will not have that s
Now, there is a great deal that might
be said with regard fo Gen, Pope, as
I, suppose 3-ou are aware, but you
should remember that any one of
you,,, acting as be
. did, Would in all
probability s have met precisely simi
lar results. In"fact, so powerfully
does this last argument seem tome.
1 am almost willing to assume ,
the
responsibility, and would do so, were
it, not that, to become responsible, for
another person's responsibility' is a
good deal like becoming reSpensible.
But again : there has been a great deal
said about a certain address made by
Gen Pope and he has'been blamed for it.
Now, I think that be s ought not to be Wain •
ed for making it, for if he had not made
it, it would not have been made; which.
as I suppose you all know. is 'an entirely
different thing. Furthermore; this is not
alt. I think I can say, gentlemen, that
Gen. Pope has followed out completely
every important idea in that address, that
is, according - to his idea. For instance
he says his "headquarters are in the sad
dle"—riow, if they have riot been in the
saddle where haVerthey been? Again: he.
says "let us leave our lines of retreat 'to
take care of thernselves"—l put it to vou
gentlemen, if Gen'. 'Pope has not dime so,
and With'what result? Why, as he did
not take care of his lines of retreat, the
rebels took care of them, and be took
care of the rebels, that is, to get out of
their way, as ' fast aaTossible, which was
certainly kind of him, and both together
they manifested an interest in each other,
-the one taking care of the lines, and the
other getting out of the way, which ought
to and I- believe„w ill gentlemen raise both
of them in your opinion, and in my opin
idh and in everybody's opinion.
tut furthermore, the address goes on
to say, let us look before us and not be
hind : success and glory are in advance ;
disaster and shame lurk in the rear.
Which looks very much like verse and
reads full as well, which is another point
in Gen. Popes's favor. But with regard
to the sentiment conveyed by'these lines,
has he not been true to them? Did he not
lonic before and keep, looking that ,way
until he found the rebels looking behind
for him rt And were not "success and
glory:' in the advance, and did not "dis
aster and shame," in the shape of Stone
wall Jackson, "lurk in the rear'!" Cer
tainly they did, and they have been lurk
ing there ever since, and if any gentleman
put his nose outside of Arlington Heights,
he will find it so. No ! gentlemen, per
mit me to say you are wrong 'hen you
find fault with the Generafsaddress, there
is as much, truth as Poetry in it, and more
to, and with regard to, himself, he only
needed success to have been successful.
In fact gentlemen, as-I reflect upon it, I
feel that having taken the responsibility
be lore, I shall do' so in this case, especial
ly when ',remember my fellow Republi•
cans do not hold me responsible for, any
thing, and that, as for the Democrats, they
do, not

Withdrawal or the Army
from Fredericksburg.
INACQUARTERS, ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
PALMOUTSE, Tueplay. Dec 16-1:45 P. H.
During last night the Army of the
Potomac evacuated their positions
on the opposite side of the river.—
The movement was aTerdous one,
6ut it was conducted in safety.
The artillerywas the first to cross
the river. -
The last of the infantry brought
up the rear shortly after daylight.
Tho enemy never discovered. the
movement until it was too late to do
us any harm.
As soon as the last man had got
safely across the river the poritoon
bridges were removed, thus cutting
off all communication between the
two shores.
Our wounded are all safe and on
this side of the river.
There was a beau wind all last
night, accompaiiiedivith considerable
rain, which assisted us' in our-move
ment, as it preveLted the rebels from
learning onr,ltitentions.

YE§tprday morning, when daylight
appeared, the enemy seemed to he,
as they no doubt were; perfectly as
tonished that our army had succeed
ed in returning to this side of the
Rappahannock River.. ' •
We returned without losing a - sin
gle man or a gun in the retrograde
movement.
A few soldiers who had straggled off
_made their appearance on the river bank,
alter the pontoon bridges had been re
moved, but they were subsequently
brought over in small boats.
A few privates who were guarding a
house inhabited by a private family, were
not, during the night, aware of our re
crossing the river, but in the morning
becoming aware of this fact they safely
swam over.
The pickets of the contending arthies
being separated by only a few yards, ren
dered it neccessary that everything on
our front should be conducted with the
'utmost cant ion.
The pickets on our outposts were un
aware of the movements we were .tnak
ing unti just before daylight, when an
officerment to each individual man, and
in a low tone of voice, ordered him to
fall back
,
After they got 'sufficiently far away to
be out oldanger they were ordered to
quicken their pace. and reach the bridges
as quickly as possible.
About 9 o'clock yesterday morning,
the enemy advanced their skirmishers
along their entire line, and by noon had
established their pickets near the bank of
the river.
We had a large number of dead on
what was regarded as "neutral ground;"
and as soon as it was known' our forces
had evacuated the city, the soldiers of
the enemy commenced' robbing the life
less bodies. This was plain* seen
through a field-glass as welfas indistinatly
with the naked eye.
About 10 or 11 o'clock ladies very
neatly dressed were seen walking the
streets -of -Fredericksburg.' They had
doubtless been concealed in their houses
during the thne•the city was occupied by
our troops, and - doubtless availed Mein
,aelves of -the - first opporOinity__ to make
their reappearance after our retreat.
On Monday, the pickets of the contend
km armies fronting - the left wing, mutually
P
aareed`upon an "armistice" among them=
selves, and- freelylriterining , ed with each
other, exchanging. their dead , friends and
comrades Whaley on "neutral ground."
During this time, an officer of our army
rode by and put a stop to these proceed
ings. The result was that bop parties
immediately- commenced firing, when
nine of our men were killed. After our
General had lea the friendly -demonstra
tions of our pickets 'were, renewed, and
butternuts and blue uniforms freely min
gled. , .
About this time Gen. Franklin dis
patched a flag of truce, which the enemy
immediately recognized,and the exchange
of dead bodies, was resumed, and continu
ed until complete
Yesterday C Lee sent a flag of
truce to Gen. Burnside, asking him to de
tail men to bury his dead in front of Gen.
Sumner's Grand Divtsion.
This was, done, the wounded, with ; the
exception of those wham the enemy ob
tained, haver aft been brought to this side
of theßappahannock r and as rapidly as
possible.are being,sent to Washington.
Our entire, army .is, now
,encampgd an
the same ground, which they ,previously
occupied.
'.the soldier are as comfortable fOr thg
present as-they can , be in shelter tents. ,
Our army has been , considerably reen
forced since the. battle, .and no danger
whatever attaches to our present position.
it is the opinion' of military men that
even if we had succeeded m taking the
4rst riage . otthe Rebel works tt;e oppor
ttinity for slaughter by the Rebels Would
have been greater than previously
Our soldiers, it may be repeated, be
hayed with the greatest gallantry, cour
age, bravery, and, determination, but no
troops in the , world could withstand such
a concentrated fire of heavy ordnince
and musketry, under cover of fortifica

The estimates of our losses in the

as far as made out; and upon the "es
tiinates of those who have the best
fa'eilities for fudging, is as near cor
rect'as, can be obtained up ; to: this

is believed that these fig ures
will fall under rather than exceed
the official reports.
The severity of th_ battle may be
interred from the fact that while But
terfield was engaged but half an
hour he lost nearly three thousand
men.
"COIN' PERMISKUS."—During the
time w h Kirby Smith was supposed
to be beleaguering this city, the col
ored population were in a condition
of agitation : not second in demonstra
tiveness to that prevailing 'among
White folks. An incident took. place
at one of their "war meetings" which
should be recorded. -The able bod
ied colored men were debating the
propriety of tendering their services
to the Government as volunteers for
the war. The prevailing impression
had been that they ought to do italid
their patriotic emotions were at high
African temperature. But before the
vote was taken, a tall and very black
fellow produced a sudden revulsion of
feeling by, delivering himself as fol.
lowa in favor Of goin', and will
go'in a
,minit it we : go permiskus
with .white men. IN tall you why
I'm for goin'
,permiskus. if w e g o
permiskus, have fair play, liut
let. 'em get a re.Xmet all , of niggers,
:and dey pOt 'ern in de fore front of de
battle, and bote sides kill every one
of I say so, sal);(rolli tip! his eyes
around the . audience,) and I go
in' dat way sah. I ain't goin' a step
!less I go . permiskus. No, sah." Arid
the Able arid elciquelit, Ethiopian sub
sided and a Solemn sensational
,pause
followed. The eyes of the asEein bled
darkeys snapped white and wild at
the idea that to go in any. other way
than "permiskus"was certain. death:
And, as they thought the. chances of
"goife permiskus" were not brilliant,
the meeting adjourned without tak•
ing action.—Cincinnati Commercial.
Stir The latiest people on the earth
a sprightly and intelligent lady, re
cently remarked at a social party,
are "Horace Greeley and his 900,000
men.
KrGovernor .Seymour,-after his in
auguration .on . the Ist of the ensuing
month, will issue a requisition demanaing
the surrender of Mr. Stanton to answer
the charges against him.—As the Pres
ident has sworn to obey the Constitution
which requiresthe surrender _of alleged
criminals, and as Mr. Lincoln is Governor
of the District of Columbia, he will, of
course, feel bound by his oath to deliver up
Mr. Stanton to the officers of justice, to
be dealt with according to law. There
is a good time coming. So says the H.
Y. Herald.
