, Particular" of the Terrible Battle at Fredericksburg, Va.. . , I fth.—The battle of yeeterd'ay at - Fredericksburg, was one of the most des perately and severely ConteSted of the whole war. It,ragiel fiercely all dab and even after darkness-had surrouded the field it was keptup with a determination that seemed as if it was to last till one side had become so exhausted as to be able to fight no longer:. The fighting on our front and right and beyond the city, was carried on by Sumner grand division, comprieipg, ed and Otle'army corps. - At O o'eloek the 241 borps, Gen. Couch, the right wing OfThe attacking forcesono: veil out-from the neper part of the city, with strong. detachments of skirmishers. The enemy Nioida . ci gradually,t hough they contested our progress with great stub ` brininess, and for some time the rattle of musketry wits incessant. At the same time, the batteries of the division station ed on the bluff across the river, opendi with shell . to aid the exit of, the rebels and cover our advance. The rebel Infan try-having fallen backto their first line of intrenehments and title pits,theirbattenes opened with* vigorous and rapid fire on our columns, Wlnch had now come to a tempore knit, a waitipg the result of the Artillery fighting - . For some -time our ar tillery on the bluffs kept up'a heavy fie on the rebel batteries with ..such success that the batteries on Taylor's Inn, nearly opposite Falmouth, and commanding our ` right flank, were finally silenced. During this time the artillery of the rebels was almost entirely - devoted to the shelling Of our advanced troops. 00I3asionally they would. sendet shot tiswardslour batteries, but they fa short or, dodged. in 'the town beyond. Hancock's division had the ad vance, supported by the other divisions of the eorpsi while the ;ad) corps, Gen.. Wil cox, remained under arms in town, in read iness to obey the signal to advance to the assistance and support.of their comrades . Wherever they could effeetually do so. Soon after, the whole corps deployed into line of attle, with Hancock's . on the right, and in this order Moved-fer ward to attack and storm the rebel right batteries,wliile from all the enemy's works a terrible shower of shell, grape and shrap nel tore through their bleeding ranks,nO• : withstanding which they steadily pushed_ on to the rifle pits e within a short distance of the first line of entrenchments. From the former they drove the rebels, wahine. prisoners of some, while the remainder took refuge behind the earthworks. This was accompli;hed after the most heroic and long-continued efforts, under - a galling and murderous fire. roman nature was unable to hold, out against the terrible fire which they now cricountered,-and -they finally retired; bet-in good order, carrying with them their wounded comrades. • • They fell back to their original line of pickets, thus;holding the ground which they firscoccnpied, and which they held this morning, when they were-relieved by Gen. Stoneman's command. Just previous to the advance of Couch's corps e heavy fi ring and a dente smoke on the left indica ted the fact that. Franklin, with leis grand division, was advancing and had engaged the. enemy's right flank.. To open coin mu nicationS with him,therefore, Gen. W eo x - detached his division tinder Gen. Bikns and sent it to the left by the edge el' the river, with instructions to advance untiei cover of the riter bank until he co'd place 1 • himself iu close proximity to Gen. Frank lin's right. - tI e Gen. Burns accordingly moved hie div isied forward, srossdd Haeld'rnit and took position with Ins left resting on Deep run, to the opposite hank of which Fraeiklin's right extended. From this location he ! was al - So enabled to snpport, if necee a-y, 1 any demonstration having for ite field of operations the - space of ground lietween Deep'run and Conch's corps, and though' the division' didmot take part in the day's engstement, it 'rendered valuable assistance otherwise. ,About 11001, Gen. Sturgis was , ordered • to-the support of General Couch. So forming th e division with Gil Ferrero's brigade, in advance, he moVed obliquely with-and on the het flank of Gen. Couch, with the intent.ime of attacking the batte ries which had been enfilading Couch's from the right and centre of the rebel po 'sition.- He opened the attack with Ferre ro's brigade, which depeiyed into line of, battle peraliel 'to the enemy's works, with, Gen. Nagle's brigade formed" iri the rear, and within easy supporting distance. Ferrero then advanced, pouring terrible volhee of musketry, and driving the rebels back. To totard - t his movement the'rebs opened a raking fire on his Yell hank- opon discovering which S . tiillye7‘ ordered Nagle to edvance by the left Bank, and forming into line of battle attacked' the . eneny-s battery on the left. 'T.,110 movement was , accordingly attempted; but in consequence of ravines which it wee iro`adicious to leer, in their rear, Nagle was unable to refry out the order, and he then fhll back to the direct support of Ferrero: Couch's corps was falling back, while this was tianseere ing, and by the, the time Gen. Nagle had resumed - his orieinal positiOn, was nearly off the field, leaving Sturgis alone in the advance, and ttpon 'his commend the ene my now concentrated almost their 'entire force, and the fight now became one of the most desperate character. _Despite the storm of bullets from the numerous rebel works ' , Ferrero confirmed to advance, !supported now also by Dicit erson's battery, which-was disabled in 15 minutes after coining into action, when its place was supplied by another attery.— At, last, by a• dashing charge, the brigade carried the crest of the tiia , r.nd approached .witlin -- 80 - paces of the enemy's intrench ments.• Their success, however, was not" of Fong duration, as the tremendous fire. of the rebel batteries soon rendered it needs `teary for them to retire, which they did when the order to. do so heel been given a third t ime. It was now dark fold the di vision tell back into position, after being GI hours wider fires • Gent.

Their batteries - were on, the crest of rising ground, well atiipor ted.by infantry. The batteries-, mutually bazed with fury. Stoneman crossed the river to support the left, and .Doubleday 'cloie to the river on thelekfiankadv'ned his lines gradUally with Tittle opposition. ''At one, Mead and Gibbons advanced in fine style, and became actively engaged in the works at the foot of therange while from near where their artillery was planted on the crest,an additional infantry fire-waa poured-into .our men. They still advanced, however, to the woods, took a hundred. prisoners. The.artillety and mus ketry fire at this time was incessant.

' . 1 "The recent success of the conservative sentiment oftlio North '(for - it is'a misno mer to sea- of 'it as a Democratic or paitY tri mph,) in obtnining control of the next i v ederal Congress, is probably too partial to - bring about any refotni in the mode and spirit of hostilities on the 'inn of the North: - Congress may. be able is but a limited control upon the ex ecutive in this particular. But; to the ex tent that wise and elevated measures shall be infused' into-the • management of the. War, thelSonthern cause will suffer from the accession of conservative men to in fluence in the government. - A vigoroni prosecution of the war, coupled with a constitutional administration or do r feller alsovernment, attended by conciliatory Words, and appeals for 'harmony and good feelog,' would demoralize the south. ern cabs more than all the rant kid in eendiari , malignity aud'lirlitality and a l li knavery that have oharacteris i ed the pro, -ifeedingsl oldie radicals." • -, ' —, .
