The Battle at Frederieksbusg
We 'devote a large portion of our paper
to day to correspondence and reports relative
to the recent great battle near Fredericks
burg. The events of that terrible day have
seared a page in the history of this nation
which centuries will not efface. The story
of how our brave volunteers strugled and
died in their herculean charges upon the re
bel centre are tragic enough to freeze the
blood of the most stoical, and as our readers
cluster round the warm hearth stone of the
old home et Christmas time, and listen to
the recital of the terrible repulse, let each
warm heart offer up its earnest pet iti t to
the Great Father to give us victory. God
speed the day.

The _,Administration.
The late occurrences in Washington t says
the Philadelphia Pres„l, involving the resig
nation of The Secretary of the State and the
Secretary of the Treasury, have been Much
misrepresented by designing men with aview
of dishearten the friends of the country and
unite its enemies. Whatever may have led
to the course of these ministers, we feel cur
min that their compliance with the wish of
the President is the bent evidence of their
patriotism and the absence of titth in the
absurd stories that have been overburdening
the newsp iper press for the last four days.
Those who regarded these resignations as
the lieginning of the long-looked for political
revolution that was to destroy the Admin
istration and brims, the sympathizers with
the rebellion into power will s,ie in the nc
lion of the Secretary of State and the Secre
tary of the Treasury a disappointment of
their treasonable hopes We are told that
there was a Senatorial eaueni, aid elaborate
reports of such a ineetii.g have horn pub
