The Recent Pattles...-The acootinta pub
lished of the recent battles at and lied', Fred
ericksburg, show that the ighting was the
most Ciesperate' at the War. After "EleVi;io:
lywo;ating Leb iri several successive battles'
Gen. IXooker was coupe led to retire to the
Worth side-of the Rappahannock.. 'nik retie ,
ile — arretipondent thus relates the facts in
dueing this retrograde movement
Gomel Hooker had -no idea of tnaking
the movement twelve hours before effecting
it. But the awful deluge shelling the Rap
palutenock to a, turbulent flood; which' no
pontoon bridges could withstand, thiyatened
to eut off his supplies and his lines of cote,
munication with the rear. These untoward
and unforseen circumstances rendered the
movement to this side of Rappahannock im
perative. It was no - sooner resolved upcw
than executed, and with' Such'scereey, celer
ity, and skill that the 'enemy did not diseov,
it until the rear guard-was nearly aeross,and
it was then too tate to *dolim any material
damage.

The country may congratulate itself tlfat

tories of the-Revolution
and the tories of` our day, says the Jiiiloniae,
are as alike in all important qualities, as two
eggs. In the Revolutionary days they de
famed Washington and denouncei every
man who was true to the country; in our day
they defame President Lincoln and spit out
their spite against every man 'who is known
to
. be loyal to the goiernwent. They had
their traitorous secret organizations, as they
have now. They, then carried all the impel.-
tartt news they could pick up to our British
of the count!'
e-4rtrvo-trot—bee
tiona to encourage the British, as Choy now
do Jo encourage, the traitors., They then
lauded the 8U $ erior _inius_of—British-Graticr
a s and the greater prowess of British sol
diers as they now laud rebel Generals and
rebel soldiers. They then rejoiced over a
British victory, as they now do over a rebel
success. But for all this, our patriotic fath
ers were - successful, and•the name tory be
came a reproach too disgraceful to bear, So
will the tories of our day become a stench in
the nostrils of honest men, and their child
ren, instead of cherishing k:ld honoring their
names; will deny and denourike them.

The Battle on Sunday.
We make the following extract from a
correspondent a account of Sundays fight on
the Bappahannock-:
The rattle of musketry soon became a long
continued crash, and in a few moments as
battalion after Battalion became engaged,
iar-surpassed-all-conception;riii 1-
eated• that the fight would be one of the most
terrible nature.,Gen. Berry's Division,
which hadThheekec . the enemy's advance the
night before, engaged him again, and jf it
wore possible for-them to 'add, more laurels
to their fame, then they did it thrice eve
again. The enemy advanced his infantry
overwhelming numbers,, and seemed . d er
mined to crush our forces. But the brave
men of Sickels and Slocum, who fought
their columns with deiperate gallantry, , held
RFR - c•bels in cheek, and—inflicted dreadful
slaughter among them. Gen. French's Di
vision was sent in on the) right flank of our
line at about 7A. M., and in a short time a
horde of ragged, streaming Rebels running

dark, tangled, gloomy woods may never be"
brought to light; but they would :fill a hun
dred volumes. It was a deliberate, despe

was perfectly, frig,htful. Coo: officers say

Rebels seemed utterly regardless of their
lives, and literally threw themselves upon
the muzzles of our guns Many desperate
charges were made during the fight, partic
ularly by Berry's Division. Mott's Brigade

seven stands of colors, 'the 7th New Jersey,
Colonel Francine, alone, captured four stand ,
of colors and five hundred prisgners.
