FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 49 BLUNDERING AND FALSE . 1100 D. The only departments in which those who have the management of the war en trusted to them have made themselves a name to be remembered, are obstinate, blundering and persistent falsehood. From one disaster - they rush the country upon another, and then resort to false hood to conceal their guilt from the peo ple. In some instances thePhave attempt ed to silence criticism of their conduct by arrests and imprisonment of men having courage to expose their imbecilities. They trifle with the patience of the people with day increasing impunity. Here we are now receiving from newspaper corre spondents tire details of the late battle at Fredericksburg, which prove it to have been the most disastrous for us since the rebellion began. In conception and exe• • cution it has the most stupendous and la mentable undertaking; and yet the genius who directs the war arm of the.govern meat, and shapes telegraphic reports of • battle for the people, would have them be lieve that our late terrible losses at Fred ericksburg are not losses at all. The patience of the nation under such provo cation is truly extraordinary. Here 'are from thirteen to 6fteat thousand of our countrymen, among them friends, neigh borsand relatives, slaughtered and wound ed, and in order to mask the extent of the calamity and escape public condemnation the powers which planned the battle resort to most transparent falsehood. But the truth can not be concealed, in these cases, and it is now revealing the magnitude of our late disaster. For some cause or other, which is in comprehensible to us, some of the Abell t ion papers of the country not only extuse the blundering of these incompetent men who are sacrificing our armies, but resort to the flimsiest twaddle to justify it.— Those who have read the leading article in yesterday's Pittsburgh Gazette must have been struck with this exhibition of fanati eal folly. We can• not account for such conduct upon the part of our contempora •ry, except upon the hypothesis of mono mania or insanity. Its Abolition frenzy hss grown into an incurable malady and the wildest hallucination pervades its edi torial performances. The article in yes terday's Gazette to which we have alluded commences by excusing the late slaughter or tea. troops by styling it a "repulse" and nI DI h "defeat." It was, it continues, "an earnest, honed and well planned effort to ettkilt the rebellion by one tremendous blow, but it pleased God to ordain that it should be unsuccessful." Has not the result of the battle shown conclusively that the rebel General most completely bambooreled General Halleck, in inducing him to order our forces to cross the Rap• pahannock 7 Lee absolutely coaxed our iorees across the river, and then, after murdering thousands of them from behind his impregnable fortification, he quietly permitted them to retire again. This is what the Gazette terms "a well planned battle," had not "God ordained" that it should be a failure. Had it not been a failure, those who believe in foreordina, Lion might have seen the linger of the Almighty on our, instead of the rebel side. Nothing but the aid of something not human could have rendered our forces victorious in the late engagement. The strange admixture of stupidity, frenzy and impunity, which constitute the ii -ii It chief productions of our leading Aboli tion journals, is one of the most alarm. iog indications of the times. We are ri engaged in the prosecution of as just a 14 enure as men ever contended for, and I , yet we are told that we have been tinsuccesful, because the Almighty Id ordained that we should he! But the se si reason given by our neighbor why P; the Almighty was orpodtd to us in the late engagement is given in its concluding paragraph, here it is : tit "But he must be blind indeed who sees not the band of God in this thing—holding us back from eneceas, yet suffering us not - „I ‘ to be • seriously weakened—baffling the wisest counsels and best laid plaus—curb !l log the hot zeal of both statesmen and sol diers—casting down, but not destroying— thus trying the fidelity and-patience of the nation until it shall - be edlicated'up to the ilgraud work of its own enfranchisement, by i4the proclamation of "Liberty throughout ;klll the land, to all the inhabitants thereof." ;j; Phis sort - of useless rhapsody might he I:rezpected from some pretender like Rev.

Frederick Staith has been convicted at ilagerstown, Md., of murder in the first de. gree, for killing Idles A. Tracy, in February 11*. The motive for the murder was Aiwa to have been jealousy.

The wholesale slaughter at Fredericksburg was nothing short of de liberate murder, and is at this moment so considered by the American people. Who is to answer for all this? Burnside, or his superior who fights battles by telegraph, and rushes blindly against stone walls and impassible barriers Let the trial go on and the verdict be rendered. A patient but outraged people have about leached the limit of torbearance. !'),n Europe, we believe, when na tiona are at war, the immediate collection and publication of the names of killed and wounded in battles is a part of the duty of governmrnt. Not so here. We are left to the enterprise of individuals to furnish these records, and hun dreds of thousands are left pulsating between hope and fear for weeks after every engagement or battle before they can learn the fate of those .most near and dear. This should be among the earliest efforts'of the government, and would, be sides giving certain information, exhibit a commendable sympathy for those who have certainly the largest interest in the war. ARMY CORRESPONDENCE From the 188th Pennsylvania. NEWPORT I s TENTS% VA., Dec. 16, 1862. ERIT.Ott Pcitrr :—The 168th Regiment, Pennsylvania,. drafted men, left camp Howe. on Monday evening, Ist inst., and arrived in Washington city on Wednesday; were put on board the steamer - South America" the same evening and left the next morning for Fortress Monroe, And disimbarked at this post on Sunday the 6th inst. The passage down the Potomac and through the bay was unusually bois terous, with the weather very wet and cold. The men suffered much, being without fires, and-the consequent expos ure has produced 'a good deal of sickness, but the health of the regiment is fast im proving. We have had two death's since we landed here, James Erret, of Co. H, Westmoreland county, and James Leech, of Co. 0, Beaver county. They lie buried here, a few hundred feet from the surging waves of the James river. They were both excellent men and much esteemed in their respective companies. This regiment is now fully officered, as follows: Col. Jos. Jack, Westmoreland co.; Lieut. Col. John Murphy, Weshing ton co.; Major duo. J. Cree, (;reene co.; Adjutant Isaac Beazle, Fayette Co.; Sur• aeon R. W. Christy, Blair no.; Adjutant. F. F. Davis, Beaver co., Quartermunter, Jas. Haymaker, Westmoreland-county. CAPTAINS—H. H.

Lauffer, Co. K. The regiment is composed of five com panies from Westmoreland, three from Fayette, one from Greene, and one trom Beaver, and certainly no better material has yet gOlle into this. war; comprehend ing within it a moral and patriotic ele ment that must obtain for it a deservedly high position in the service. The officers are all men of character and integrity, and highly esteemed in the coninianities front which they came The entire drafted force of Petitsylva nia appears to be coneentintiPg at this point. There are now fifteen reginients here. CAI- or THE:4h P.l..tois. CAVALRY, December 11th, Isntl. .1 Editer—Since my last we hare had another brush with the enemy's pickets, near New Kent. The scouting party was commanded by Capt. A. Faith of company M, instead of Major Kleintz, as stattd in the Philadelphia hiqujr,r, who was camp at the time. We succeeded in killing two, and capturing six men and 12 horses, with their equipments and arms. Our men escaped without a scratch. The men captured belonged to Col. Shingle's city . airy, which is a part of the Holcomb • Le. gion,from SontliCarolitl. Much credit is dae to Capt. Faith for his bravery on this occasion. This, however, is not the first time he has displayed these qualities. The Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 10th lost.. gives Lieut. Tatou the credit of the expe dition, which is a mistake, as he was on duty in camp at the time. The principal part of the regiment being front the Ext ern part of the State the sixth squad ron, which is from West of the mountains has beeh rather slighted by the different correspondents of the Easternipapers.— There have been several promotions in the regiment lately: Lieut. Col. Lewis, for merly Captain of company D, has now command of the regiment; our former worthy Adjutant, G. W.;McCandless, has been prontoted to the rank of Major, as has also Capt. E. Kleintz, of company E. Thomas Little, Jr., of Pittsburgh, formerly Sergeant Major of the 3d battalion. has been appointed 2d Lieutenant of Co. M. P. S. Three days ago two squadrons were sent across York river to join with an expedition of some kind ap the Glou cester,side of the river, which we expect will give a good account of themselves. Weare impatiently waiting to hear from Fredericksburg, and from the paymaster. A Pertinent Question Dr. H.—, of the pleasant city of Elms, has been noted for many years - for always driving the gentlest and most so ber, and at' the same time most fearfully "homely" of horses. His steeds will al ways stand wherever he pleases to leave them, but they have rather a venerable and woful aspect, that renders them any thing but pleasant objects to the casual ob• server. A few years ago there came a care van to town, and several horses were badly -frightened by the elephants, so that anum ber of accidents occurred. A day or two after, old Dr. Knight met Dr. H—, and speaking of the accidents, Dr. Knight re marked that he had not dared to take his horse out while the procession was passing through the streets. "Oh, ho!;," said Dr. A—; "why I took my mare and drove right up alongside of them, and she wasn't the least • bit scared!" - "Ham—yes," says Dr. K., "bid how did the elephant stand it ?" The question, though pertinent, was barely complipientary to the Doctor's beast.

Happily., though they fall all found-the bridge and kill sortie men on the hanks, they do the structure no harm in case they do, however, a corps of pontoniers stand ready to repair any damage. "At 4 o'clock, Gen. Hooker, who had not yet been across the river, proceeded over, remarking to a friend,, that he 'was going to put this thing through.' "In half an hour, prodigious volleys f musketry announce that Hooker, with he Reserves, is engaged. This last as saulting column consisted of th 4 divisions f Humphrey, Monk, Howard, Getty and Aykes. They had, hoWever, hardly got •airly engaged before the sun went down and night closed around the clamorous wrath of the combatants. At this time, Gen. Burnside, who had remained all day at the Phillips House, came down to the Lacy Houses and, in the garden facing the city, followed the progress of the fight.. Externally calm, the leading player in this tremendous game was agitated by such intensity of feeling as one can conceive, and he paced the garden gloomy as night. "That crest," he exclaimed, pasSionate ly, "must be carried to-night ! The brevity of time into which the stu pendous issue of the day had to be crowd ed seemed to add redoubled energy to the fury of the combatants. Not "Night or Blucher," as Warrenton exclaimed at Waterloo, but Ajax s prayer "for more light," was the prompting of every heart. Creeping up on the flsuk by the left la etry's men succeeded in gaining the stone wall which we had been unable all day to wrench from the rebels. The other forces rushed for the crest. 'Our field batteries, Which, owing to the restricted space, had been of but little use all day, were brought vigorously into play. 'lt was the-fierce, passionate climax of the battle. From both sides two miles of batteries belched forth their Grey missiles athwart the dark background of the night. Volleys of musketry were Poured forth such as we have no parallel of in all our experiences of the war, and which seemed as though &lithe demons of earth and air were con• tending together. Rushing up to the Wrest, our troops had got within a stones throw of the batteries, when the hill, too, swarmed forth in new reinforcements of rebel infantry, who, rushing upon our men, drove them hack. The turn of a die de cides such situations. The day was lost I O u r men retired. Immediately cannon and musketry ceased their roar, and in a moment the silence of death succeededthe 'stormy fury of ten hours of battle. As Geu. Burnside, turning, walked off thrOugh thegarden,and mounting his horse qiilloped back to his headquarters, what though is and feelings passed through his mind 7 No illusions could make him be lorve that a' victory had heen achieved.

Let us hope that, when fully pre pared, the assault may be fenewed with new tactical combinations,thepositioncar ried and the day retrieved. If it be not so, Saturday, the lath day of December, must be accounted a black day in the (sl ender of the Republicans. If you are disposed to indulge in criti cism on the plan of the battle of Freder ickaburgh it will not be difficult to point out its great and radical detects: To have hurled forward masses of men against the fortified works of those terraces was cer tainly a manifekation of daring, untem pered by the slightest prudence. Was it not, also, a fatal error to have risked the whole success of the plan on the aecom• plishinent of a certain mancenvre ( Frank lin's ability to swing round the rebel flank, namely,) where all the elements of the problem were completely wanting? What a fearful fatality, too, that our accumula tion of artillery was all but entirely use lees to us, owing to the distance of the range and' the exposure of our own troops. And what a misfortune, equally lamenta ble, that the approadh to the rebel posi tion back of Fredericksturgh was an area so restricted that our field batteries were almost equally useless, owing to the idipos sibility of manceuvring I In the course of this correspondence, From the time of our first occupation of Falmouth, I have informed you of the rebel position, from an absolutely defence. less condition to the time that it becanie another Gibraltar.

With fifty. thousand men they should easily hold it against three times that number of assail ants. And indeed they appear never to have employed more than about that num ber. h very time we ponred forward fresh men. they had ready reinforcements to match. Froni prisoners taken, I learn that on the right, command by Jackson, half of the force only-(a7tid' chiefly the di vision of A. P. Hill, and Early's brigade) was engaged.

McDowell Court of Inquiry NEW YORIC., Dec. 18.—A Washington dispatch says : • Public temper is deeply aggravated by the rumor of the introduction, as testi mony in the Fitz John Porter case, of the telegrams sent. by the accused to Generals McClellan and Burnside, and which Por ter endeavored to destroy, and supposed he had destroyed. They had been sent from the field over the military telegraph. When Porter heard that Pope was going to bring him to trial, he went to the opera tor for the original. He, of course, re• used to give them up. Porter then sent a peremptory order for the dispatches, with soldiers enough to execute it. The operator was compelled to surrender them. Porter did not know that every dispatch was transmitted by the wires to the ofli• cials ot the War Department and was then put on record. Copies ot these, sworn to by the opera tor in the field, to be those that he sent from General Porter, were offered in evi dence yesterday, and are said to contain startling evidence of hostility to Pope and contempt for the plan of campaign, in which he was expected to ioyally partici pate. The only portion of these dis patches accessible this evening, are the following : "Pope himaelf has gone to.Centreville today, with two corps as a body guard. I hope Mack is at work to get us out of this. I hope McClellan is satisfied with what we are doing." In a dispatch, written at the time of re ceiving Gen. Pope's order to march to the support of Gen. Hooker at Kettle Run, Gen. Porter speaks sneeringly ofthe order, and sends it as a specimen of PdPe's management. NEW YORE, Dec. 18.—The steamer Lize Chucu, which put back to this port for re pairs, arrived this morning, from Bermuda on the 14th inst. She reports the British neutral steamers Phoebe, Hamet, Pinckney ' Justitia and Merrimac, as in port, all loaded with arms, ammunition and stores for the rebels. The British neutral steamer Coronby, which was boarded by the United States gunboat Tuscarora, near Fayal, sailed from St. George, ostensibly fur Trinidad, but undoubtedly to run the blockade. She is a very fast side. wheel steamer. Her hull, manta, .rigging, &c., are painted a lead color. WASHINGTOY, Dec. 17.—Today a high ly influential delegation of members. of both Houses of Congress, with Vice Pres ident Hamlin at their head, waited on the President with a request numerously sign ed by loyal men of Florida, asking for the appointment of Hon. Eli Thays as M Hite .y Governor of that State, with authority to raise . .!0,000 loyal emigrants. They also presented to the Presideut a paper sigqed by 134 members of the Senate and House, earnestly concurring in the request of the loyal men of Florida, and a paper • fro•n Major Gen. Hunter, commander of the Department of the South, to the same effect. The Committee were well satisfied with the interview. The McDowell Court of Inqniry receiv ed the testimony of Gen. Rufus kong. He contradicted a portion of the testimony of Peleg Clarke with reterence to the alleged spy Little. He stated also that he was in structed, by Gen. McDowell to preserve the growing crops in order to seize them for the use of the army. He thought they were subsequently harvested for our army. He further proved the good effect Ceti. McDowell's orders ir, this particular had on the discipline of his troops, and that the subsequent change in the policy had a very bad effect on the discipline of the army. Brig. Gen. Wadsworth testified to Gen, McDowell's efficiency as a corps com mander. He did not believe General McDowell was instrumental in having the Department of the Rappahannock formed, for he had expressed to him his regret at having his command separated from the Army of the Potomac. The reason why General McDowell did not join the Army of the Potomac at a subsequent period, as witness was informed, was, he did not think the number of troops which would thus be left for the defence of Washing ton would be sufficient, The Court then adjourned till to•mor row morning: STRICTLY PURE ARTICLES Low Prices, PITTSBURGH DRUG HOUSE TORRENCE & PIoGARR, APOTHECARIES.
