'Atwater Soldier Falleri.—A letter from
Capt. W. W. Walker of Co. E., with several
from members of the company were received
in this place on 3londay evening, all con
taining 'thetad announcement that GEO. N.
P. BROTHERTON, youngest son of Dr. Broth
erton of this place, was among the number
' killed upon the Rappahannock during Sat
urday's fight. The account we have is that
young Brothorton bore himself nobly in the
fight, displaying the gallantry end heroism
of a true patriot sad soldier. He fell as
thousands of brave spirits before him, j ust
in the bloom and vigor of young life, a sac
rifice for his country. The morning after
the reception of this intelligence W, H.
Brotherton for Fredericksburg, to pro
cure if possible, his remains for interment
here. We deeply sympathize with his aged
patents and other sorrowing friends, and ac-
qunintances.
P. S. It will be seen from Capt. Walker's
letter, handed us since the above was writ
ten, that S. P. HOUZER, of the same com
pany also fell whilst gallantly charging upon
the enemy. Several of the letters received
herehighly compliment the bravery of young
Romer, which must be gratifying to his
afflicted parents and other friends.
The Waynesboro' institult.—Tbe Waynes
boro' Classical and Colaniereial Institute ha •
een in successful operation for fourteen or
fifteen months, but we regret to learn that it
is not pitronized by our citizeng as liberally
'it 'should. Every good eitiaen must see the
imsurtance of sustaining in our midst such
an institution. The advantages which it af
fords are numerous. It is both a greateen
venience and a saying in a pecuniary point
of view. Whilst many are saved the ex
pense orsending their children to distant
institutions,' it--affords educational advanta
ges to others which_ they could obtain in no
other way. For the't!redit of our town we
hope to. see the institution more liberally
pat - ionized than at preserit.,,

Gen. Burns:de, however, has chosen no such

that any such applause would give him, and
assumes, from first to last, the responsibility
for the defeat on. the Rappahannock. He

$25; a soft felt hit $8; and a pair of. com
mon shoes, worth in the North about nine
or ten Airings, $25. Ladies' dresses were
selling at $lOO and upwards. Gold is worth
two hundred and fifty per cent. Persons at
tempting to enter the rebel lines with articles
flora the North for sale, are now arrested,
and their goods confiscated. as they charge
such exorbitant prices. 'The people in RioL

READ0411:118, Dec. re.—Yolfterdny
the rebels sent, under a flag of .truce, a re
quest that we would bury our dead. A bu
rying party accordingly went over and con
tinued their labors to-day. During the truce
Col. Wallen, chief of Longatrect's artillery,
informed some of our officers that the rebel
infantry force engaged on Gen. Sumner's
front was only two brigades, but that they
had a largeoteserve near by. He said our
men exhibited the greatest bravery, but he
considered the rebel position impregnable,
and that a force of 600,000 men would find
it impossible to carry the beightl in face of
their batteries.
The rebel loss was small, compared with
ours, from the fact that they were prltemed
by a stone wall and r;fle pits; Our losses as
heretofore reported, have been considerably
decreased by the arrival of stragglers in
°imp.
The enemy took bearly 800 prisoners from
us, a considerable proportion of which were
absent from their camps when we evacuated
the south side of the river. The prisoebro
taken on both sides have been paroled.

11ott near we came to: the accomplishment
of our object future "report will show.
But for the fog and iinellected and mia=
veidable delay in building the bridges, which
gave the enemy twenty-six bouts more to
concentrate his forces in his strong positions,
we would almost certainly have succeeded- -
in which ease the tattle Oreuldbare en; in
my opinion, far more decisive than if
Nwe had
crossed at the places first selected. -
As it was, we came very near success.—
Failing in accomplishing the main object, we
remained in order of battle two days—long
enough to. decide that the enemy would not
come out of his strongholds to fight us with
his infantry, after which we reeroned to this
side of the river unmolested, without the loss
of men or property.
As the d ly broke, Our long lines of troops
were seen marching to their different pbstions
as if' going on parade. Not the least demoral
zatioti or disorganization existed.
To the brave Alters aud soklierir who ac
complished the fent of thus recrossing in the
face of the enemy, I owe everything. For
the failure in the attack I ant responsible, as
the extreme gallantry, ()enrage and endurance
shown by them was. never exceeded, end
would have earried the point had it, 'been

for the wounded I can offer my earnest prayer
for their Comfort and final recovery.
The foot that I decided to move from War
