TEE BATTLE AT TBKDBBIOKBBUSO. \ The faoT'that the long egpeeted battle at Fredericksburg had opened this after noon, has speedily become public here, and general interest in the. matter has gradually developed into intense anxiety, as it became known that the fight had continued through-, out the day without any results sufficiently I decisive to warrant in Claiming a victory. No I serious apprehensions, however, are enter tained, and every oonfidence is felt in the fighting powers of our army.' Special provis- ion is being made here for the wounded, and tho War Officers abstaining from the trans- action of general! business as far as poulM© ta devote itself more thoroughly to the im- mediate wants of the army. YBAXAX , S r RISOLUTIOH. Several Republicans and Union men who Toted against, iaaying Teaman's resolution, condemning ’the President's proclamation on the table, would also have* voted against the resolution itself, but desired a direct vote. Among them are Horace Maynard, Harrison, of Ohio, Sheffield, of Rhode Island, Odell, of New York, and others. BBIGADIIR-GEKXBAL KIMBALL WOUXDSD. Brig.-Gen. .Nathan Kimball, of Indiana, got a ball through the right arm, at Freder icksburg, to-day. He will arrive here to morrow. It is impossible to learn the other casualties yet. h Col. Denuis, State agent of Indiana, and Gov. Morton's private 'Secretary, Holloway, bleave on the morning boat to look after thfi Indiana wounded at Fredericksburg. Ohio I which fras an equal number of soldiers there, Is too poor to have anybody to care for them. POSTAL CUB&IVCT. Eighty thousand, dollars worth of postal oumnoy, for Cincinnati, goes West ub the : first train. The Secretary has made arrange ments for sending one million of this currency West for distribution among the post-masters ; throughout the country. JESSE D. BEIGHT Is here to-day. Ho denies being a candidate for the Senatbrshlp. It is generally under stood among the Democracy that matters are sot np in Indiana for theelection of Hendricks for the long torm, and Bright to succeed Gov. Wright, la filling out the onexpired portion of his own term, from remaining in which, origl : nally, he was prevented by expulsion, i m’oowell’s abd porter's trials. In the McDowell Court nothing was done. In Porter's testified in substance that if Porter had obeyed orders, and attaoKed the enemy on tho 29th, the rebels would have been defeated.

FROM PHILADELPHIA. fgjpieciarDispatch’ to the Pittsburgh 1 Garrtt*.] pßiT.tDKipgiA t Pco. 13.—The JVms of this morning says.that J. Wesley Greene, who has been pTiotliing the confidence game on the Chicago.Koirt, and the eeeossionlstff generally, is known in this city as a consummate sooun drei. Early in 1852, he made his appearance in Philadelphia and preached in a . number of Methodist churches. He was eloquent, and crowds flocked to hear him. Ho claimed to bos confidential agent of tho Pestmaster.Generai,-aud had a large num ber of offices to give oat. He iuducod many young members of the Methodist Church to give up their situations and accept-an office B ih the postal department, in almost every part of the country. They did so, and previous to their'going on'their Journey io exaoted a bonus from each them, running from ten dollars to one hundred-dollars. He then, sud denly decamped. lie was subsequently arrested in Baltimore, triod la this clty oa twa indictmonts, and sen tenced to twenty-ene months imprisonment in the Eastern Penitentiary, where ho served the full time. I ‘ Ho is koown in our ppHco records as Ji Wosloj Greene, aiiai Leonard Williams, olios Benjamin Grier. 1 So it will be seen that this democratic cbick on will not fight. f Southern News. * Baltimore, Dec. 14.—-The Richmond En? jufrtr, of Dec. 12th, bee following: 'There was heavy fighting at Fredericksburg tq-day.

Oa Thurs day last our batteries, stationed above and below the opened fire on the ganboati anchored in the stream, consisting _of the Freeborn, Anaooita, Live Yankee and Reso tnte. The firing lasted from an' hoar to an boar and a half, and was very rapid. Eleven houses were struck, and four of the best in the villago completely riddled. .Ho notice was given of this intention to shell Port Royal. After thebombardment, the ganboats dropped down the river sevon miles. The people of the town are now scattered like those of Fredericksburg 'in farm houses and cabins of adjacent counties. Truly, tho Yan kees are waging a war of extermination. Abraham Lincoln is a fit compeer for Nona Bahlb. Col, Luolus M. Lamar will visit Europe, accompanied by Col. L. C. Lamar, of Missis sippi, who goos with Instructions to Messrs. SUdeli and Mason. ' ' From North Carolina.—lmportant move ments are on foot in eastern North Carolina, Twelve regiments left Newbern on Saturday. Some think their destination is Wilmington. Tho more general belief is that they design an attack on Weldon and Petersburg. On Sunday two transports and. five gun boats ascended the Chowan river, and a land foree of !10,000 men were seen in force . from Suffolk, indicating a move on Weldon.
