Hxadqitabtsbs Abut of the Potomac , December 11—9 A. M. Everything last sight was in a bustle and activity, at t<MUj was the time fixed on for crossing the river. During the night the pontoons were conveyed to the river, and the artillery of 143 pleoes were placed In position opposite the city. At 3 o’clock this morning the rebels fired two sig nal guns, while during the latter part of the night rockets were frequently seen within their lines. At 6 o’clock tne construction of three bridges in front of the city was oommenced. When about half completed the enemy opened a murderous fire of in fantry from the houses on the river bank. Up to this time not a shot had been fired from onr side.— The engineers were driven from the pontoon bridges and everal killed and wounded. At 6 o’clock Gen. Burnside ordered all the guns opened on the city. The cannonade, which has continued without in terruption up to the present time, is terrible. The city is on fire, and its destruction appears to be certain. The enemy, about 7 o’clook, opened with their heavy gans from their works, bat so far have done no serious injury. General Franklin constructed his bridges about three miles below the city, meeting with but slight opposition. His troops are now crossing. The gunboats are now shelling the enemy, about fifteen miles down the river, where they have been concentrating their forces during the past two dyas. The concentrated fire of our batteries on the city has had the effeot of driving back the enemy’s in fantry, and the work on the bridges has again been commenced. The troops are all under arms, near the river, pre paring to march over as soon as the bridges are com pleted. Later from Headquarters. Thursday Noon. —On the attempt being made to finish the bridges, in front of the city, the rebel infantry again opened their fire. Our artillery iu position, fire was again opened on the city ; the result being that it was fired in several new places. The enemy have used very little artillery up to this time, as it would endanger their own men, who are holdiDg the river front. General Burnside has just issued an order to con centrate every available gun upon the city, under oover of the fire of which it is believed that the bridges can be finished. The killed aDd wounded, so far, do not amount to more than fifty men', f " • Headquarters, December 11 —Evening. But little firing took place between one and three o’clock, during which time all the available batter ies were placed in position, which then numbered one hundred and seventy-six guns. At a given sig nal all the batteries opened on Fredericksburg.— The fire, was terrible, but the rebel sharpshooters could not be driven from their hidiug-plaoes. The shot and shell went crashing through the houses, in many cases setting them on fire, causing a dense smoke to gather, which, with the explosion of so large a quantity of powder almost hid the city from view. It soon became evident that the bridges could not be built except by a bold dash. V olunteers were called for to cross the river in small boats. This order was no sooner givetlAhan hundreds of brave men stepped forward, but aIT could not go. About one hundred were selected. These were soon on their way, while the artillery threw a perfect storm of iron hail on the opposite bank. They reached the opposite shore, but not without loss. With fixed bayonets they rushed upon the rebels, killing several and taking one hundred and one prisoners, who were safely landed on this sido. At half past four o’clock two bridges were finished opposite the oity, when the troop 3 immediately be gan to cross over. The enemy were soon driven from the city back to their line of works. The two bridges in front of General Franklin’s Eosition were successfully laid early in the morning, ut his troops did not cross until the two upper ones were ready. A sufficient force is now on the opposite side of the river to resist any attack that is likely to be made. The rebels fired but few guns in the morning, and none in tho afternoon, although their works were in easy range. During the forenoon the rebels burnt the railroad bridge just outside the city. Between thirty and forty houses were burnt, mostly in the business part of the city. During the day between 8,000 and 9,000 rounds of ammunition were fired by oar artillery. Everything is quiet to-night. The indications are that a battle will be fought to-morrow.

The fog began to disappear at 11 o’clock this morning, affording an unobstructed view of our own and the enemy’s position ; it being ovident that the first ridge of hills in the rear of the city, on which the enemy bad his guns posted behind earthworks, could not be carried, excgpt by a charge of infan try. General Sumner assigned that duty to General ; French’s Division, supported by Goneral Howard’s. | The troops advance to tho works at ten minutes j before 12 o’clock, at a brisk run. The enemies guns opened a rapid fire upon them —when within musket range of the base of the ridge, they were met by a terrible fire from the rebel infantry, who were posted behind a stone wall; and some houses on the right of the line. This checked their advance, and they fell back to a small ravine, but not out of musket range. At this time another body of troops moved to their assistance in splendid style, notwithstanding tbe gaps made in their ranks by the fire of the rebel artillery. When they arrived at the first line, they advanced on double quick time, and with the command of “fixed bayonets,” endeavored to dislodge the rebels from their biding places. The concentrated fire of artillery and infantry, 'which they were forced to face, was too much, and Che centre gave way in disorder; but were after wards rallied and brought back. From that time the fire was spiritedly continued, and never ceased until some time after darkness set in this eveniug. Gen. Franklin who commenced the attack on the left, met with better success. He succeeded after a hard day’s fight in driving the enemy about one mile. At one time the rebels advanced to attack, but they were handsomely repulsed with terrible slaugh ter, and a loss of between four and five hundred prisoners, belonging to Gen. A. P. Hill’s com mand. Gen. Franklin’s movement was directed down the ! river, and his troops are encamped to night, not far from the Massapooix creek. Our troops sleep to night, where they fought to-day. The dead and wounded are being carried from the field of battle to-night. The following is a list of the officers killed and wounded as far as known. Gen. Jaokson of the Pennsylvania Reserves is killed. Gen. Bayard was struck in the thigh by a shell, and afterwards died. Gen. Vinton was wounded in the side, but not seriously. Gen. Gib boDS was wounded in th# hand. Gen Kimball re ceived a wound in the thigh. Gen. Caldwell was wounded in two places but not seriously. Col. Sin olair of Penna. was dangerously wounded. Capt. Hendrickson, commanding the 9th New York Militia, was wounded severely. The following is the loss of officers in the sth New Hampshire Regiment, which was actually engaged in the battle: Col. Cross, wounded in the abdomen. Maj. Sturdevant, and Adjutant Dodd, killed. The firing of musketey ceased at about 6 o’olock, but the rebels oontinued throwing shell into the oity at 8 o’clock this evening. The position of the Rebel forces was as follows : Gen. Longstreet was on the left and held the main works of the enemy. Gen. A. P. Hill and Gen. Jackson were in front of Gen.'Franklin with Jack son’s right resting on the Kappahanuock. General D. H. Hill’s forces acted as a reserve. The losses cannot be accurately estimated at this hour. The War in Arkansas—The Victory at Fayetteville Confirmed—Heavy Loss on Both Sides—Official Keport of tten. Cur tis. The official dispatch of the battle of Fayetteville has been received at the headquarters of the army here: j St. Louis, Dec. 9. Major-General Halleck, General-in-Chief, Washing ton : My forces of the army of the frontier united near Fayetteville in the midst of a hard fought battle. General Blunt had sustained his position at Cave Hill until Saturday night, when the enemy, twenty five thousand strong, under General Hindman, at tempted a flank movement on his left to prevent the arrival of General Herron’B forces, which had been approaching for four days by foroed marches. On Sunday, about 10 a. u., the attacked General Herron near Fayetteville, who, by gallant and desperate fighting, held him in check for three hours, until General Blunt’s division came up and attacked him in the rear. The fight continued desperately until dark. Out troops then bivouacked on the battle-field, while the enemy retreated across the Boston Moun tains. The loss on both sides is heavy, but it is much the greatest on the side of the enemy, our ar tillery creating terrible slaughter in their greater numbers. enemy had greatly the advantage in posi- Among the enemy’s killed is Colonel Stein, formerly brigadier-general of the Missouri State Guards. Both Generals Blunt and Herron deserves special oommendation for their gallantry in the battle of Fayetteville, Ark. S. R. Curtis, Major-General, Commanding. . Ten Thousand Barrels of Oil Lost.-A dis patch received from Oil Creek, reports anoth er calamity in that region, which is fast becoming famous for its misfortunes. On Sunday the creek was putting out ioe rapidly, which gorged near the mouth, and resulted in the destruction of about 10,000 barrels of crude oil, valued at $lOO,OOO. Of this amount 4,000 barrels, valued at $40,000, belonged to Shreve, Tilson & Co., the extensive shippers, who lost heavily by the late pond freshets. Every day only proves more conclusively the necessity for a railroad from the principal oil producing farms to the mouth of the creek. At a mod erate calculation $225,000 worth of oil has been destroyed there within the last three weeks, all of which, had there been a railroad b operation, might have been saved. THIRTY-SEVENTH CONGREBS-BBCOND SESSION. Mosdat, December 8. PetitioDß were presented to the Senate to-day in favor of a general bankrupt act. A memorial from Gov. Morton, of Indiana, praying for. an increase in the pay of onr common soldiers was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs.

The resolution’respectiog arbitrary arrests, offered by Mr. Saulsbury, was taken up. Mr. Hale believed that the writ of habeas corpus was alive yet, and was unwilling for the Senate to interfere with other de partments. Mr. Bayard said the President had as serted the rightto suspend the writ of habeas corpus , and be thought it proper for the Senate to inquire into tbe matter. Mr. Wilson thanked the President for making arbitrary arrests. After considerable discussion by several members, the question pending, the Senate adjourned. The House considered the Senate bill for the ad mission of tbe State of West Virginia into the Union. Mr. Conway would vote for the measure if it came in a constitutional form. The bill was not bo much for the admission of a new State as it was for the division of an old one. West Virginia was not a lawful State. He wished that a territorial government had been organized there at tbe com mencement of the rebellion. Mr. Brown argued that the act would be lawful, and that Kentucky was formed from Virginia in the same way. After some discussion the House took up the special order authorizing collectors, etc., to administer oaths. The orde'r passed.

The consideration of the Virginia bill was resumed. Mr. Noel stated his reasons for supporting the bill, and would save the life of the Union, whether constitutionally or not. Mr. Segar spoke against it, and in the name of the loyal people of Eastern Virginia protested against the injustice now sought to be inflioted upon them. What would become of the loyal people outside of the new State? He wanted the Wheeling govern ment to remain as a nucleus around whioh other counties might rally. Mr. Sheffield favored the bill The Senate bill for the admission of West Vir ginia into the Union passed by a vote of 93 against 65; after which the House adjourned.

The House ad journed to Monday. Havana, Dec. 6. By the Conway came a colonel in the Mex ican arm; Jon some Governmental business. Colonel Orapesa and Mr. Beojaman Russel, bearer of American dispatches, both of whom have come from Vera Cruz and Orizaba, place the position of the French as very critical.— They have no fodder for their few mules and cattle and have do fresh food for the troops, who are getting sick with dysentary from hav ing to live on canned provisions. Those who are at Jalapa have been cut off £rom their supplies at Vera Cruz by the retaking by the Mexicans of Puenta and Nacional a part of which has been destroyed. The Mexicans are working continually on the fortifications of Puehle and Mexico, aDd the roads between them. The determination at tbe capital is to open the retaining walls and sluices of the lakes in the heights around the oity. in case the French get possession of Puebla, and thus flood the whole city and whole valley, rending it impossible for man or beast to approach the city, save by the turn pikes, which arc very high, and which alone will be above water, save the second stories and roofs of the city. These turnpikes are to be defended. Colonel Orapesa and two others passengers per steamer Conway, succeeded in evading the brigand guerrillas, and arrived in safety. TERRIBLE COLLIERY EXPLOSION, Washington, Deo. 10 On Saturday, November 2, an explosion took place in the Walker Colliery, a pit about three miles from Newcastle. Sixteen men and boys wero killed. The London Times says : “ The appearance above ground was that of the eruption of a volcano. The spectators board the sound of a tremendous rush of air up the working-shaft, and. on looking in that di rection. saw steam and a cloud of fragments flying from the pit's mouth. Below, the first warning they had of the explosion was like the sound of a hurricane, and its effect on themselves was to throw them violently down. The seam of coal itself was set on fire, and charred dead bodies were close to the part which had ignited. Io other parts of the pit, the hewers were struck down at their work, and five bodies were found in the ‘broken.’— One man had been blown a distance of thirty yards from the face of the seam. The scene which presented itself to the exploring party afterwards was that of a wreck. On\he one hand a man lay dead, on the other was a horse on his knees, his ears pricked up, his eye-balls still appearing to glare with fright, though be was quite dead, and had probably been killed instantaneously by the first and only shock of the explosion. As soon as the shock was heard, men in the remote parte of the pit ran for their lives, but the fire-damp overtook them and strnck them down like a shot.” The Secretary of War in bis report states that the total Dumber of officers and pri teB m field at the present is over 800,000. When the quotas are filled up the total ■will be increased to one million. Under the calls for troops in July and August four hundred and thirty-two thousand were enlisted for three years. Within a fraction of fifty thou sand recruits have been added to the old reg iments. The number In general military hospitals at the date of the Surgeon General’s report was fifty eight thousand, but the whole number of soldiers nnder medical treatment, including hospitals in the field, was not less than ninety thousand. Tuesday, December 9. Wednesday, December 10. Thursday. December 11 NEWS FROM MEXICO THE PBBBIDBHT’S PaOCIiABATIOS. In an article on the Emancipation Procla mation of the President, the Louisville Jour nal oi Saturday week says: “ The policy announced in the proclamation not merely violates the Constitution, hat as sumes a principle which abolishes the Consti tution altogether, and substitutes therefor the uncontrolled will of the President. President Lincoln, as we feel assured, could not have been conscious of this fhet when he consented to issue the proclamation, but the fact is never theless true. We, several days ago, demon strated that the proclamation is not legimate ly an act of military necessity. We need not now repeat this demonstration. No man both sane and intelligent will gainsay the eonclasion. If, however, the proclamation is not legitimately an act of military necessity, it must depend, for justification, on the broad principle that the President has a right to do whatever in bis discretion may best preserve the nation, regardless of the Constitution and the laws. And this is, in fact, the principle on which the radicals seek to justify the proc lamation. Yet what is this principle but the principle of a Dictatorship f Nothing less It is the principle of a dictatorship cf the most absolute description. It clothes the President with an authority more absolate than that of Cincinnatus. It clothes him with an authority as absolute as that of Caesar or of Sylla. In plain terms, it makes his uncontrolled will the supreme law of the land. There is no possible escape from this conclusion.” Dr. Olds Chosen to the Ohio Legislature The Illegal Arrests Condemned . —One of the most significant indications of the signs of the times is contained in the following from the Cincinnati Enquirer : Dr. Edson B. Olds, who has been for some months imprisoned in the political Bastile at New York, has been chosen to the Ohio Leg islature from the county of Eairfield by 2,500 majority. This is by far the largest Democrat ic majority ever given in Fairfield county.— At the last election it was 1,800. The people are becoming aroused on the illegal arrest system, and are expressing it in thunder tones. Dr. Olds was denounced as a “ traitor,” and ho is endorsed by 2,500 majority in the coun ty where he lives ? The election was a spe cial one, to fiill the vacancy occasioned by the death of’Mr. Jeffries. LOYAL ABOLITIONISTS. The Milwaukee News asks to what Aboli tionists are loyal? To the Constitution?— They have suspended it. To the Union ? They boldly proclaimed that they are not for the Union as it was, but for “ a Union as it ought to be.” To the States ? They propose to blot out State lines ! To the Government? They ignore the laws of Congress, and scorn the decisions of the Supreme Court? To the President ? They propose to depose him if he does not obey them ?

For the speedy and eflectnal relief and cure of all SEXUAL DISEASES, it may justly be considered one of the greatest and most valuable discoveries In the annals of medicine, frequently effecting a cure in three or fonr days. In its preparation as an extract or a paste, the usual nauseous taste is avoided, and it is, consequently, never fonnd to interfere with the digestion, while, from Its greater on centration, the dose is mnch reduced. It may be relied on as the best mode for tbe administration of these remedies in the large class of diseases of Doth sexes to which they are applicable. N.

THE AMBER BASE, - A RIW AHD ®OPEBIQR METHOD 07 K MOUNTING ARTIFICIAL TEETH.H*ZHff I would announce to my patrons and others requiring the services of the Dentist, that I am about Introducing tho AMBER BASE into my practice. The advantages of this method of mounting teeth over the metalie base have been fully established in the five years In which it has been subject to the severest tests, with the most satisfactory results. It is fully as strong and durable as either silver or gold —more easily kept clean, more natural to the touch of the tongue and Ups, and it is firmer and more serviceable, in the month, In consequence of our beibg able to obtain a more perfect fit to tbe gum. This work is not so expensive as gold, but a little higher in price than silver. It will be warranted to give satisfac tion, or be exchao ged for gold or silver work as the patient may prefer.
