FrOm the n. Y. Tins.)

There is an amazing degree of apathy
on the part of the public IN regard to the
present face to lace Rntagonism of the Ma
tiOnAl Aad rebel armies, on the Rappahan-
mock. We cannot account for it on the
ground of Inconsistencies Of the position.
Every citizen of the loyal North who reads
know that Gen. Burnside has led his grand
army, by a sudden Oblique movement.
from the line of the Blue Ridge toward
Fredericksburgh, and that Gen. Lee, not
at all blinded by the strategy. immediately
began TO concentrate his whole army at
Fredericksburgh to oppose him. For ten
days the two armies have been confronting
each other in force, only a narrow stream
dividing them and the Pickets indulging 10
cuilOquies, not unfTequently within fifty
yards of each other.
Two such bodies cannot remain as these
two are now situated, almest 10 actual con-
tact, without the early and inevitable con-
sequence OF deadly conflict. Each army is
charged 10 the muLzle with wrath, and the
other knows it. Burnside holds command
of the National troops because Mcclellan
WAS TOO dilatOry in Offering fight. His very
presence at the head Of the army is tauta
mount to immediate wager OF battle. Gen.
Lees inclination for decisive struggle is
the result equally of policy aud necessity.
His army Is larger than be can ever hope to
have it again, and his men suffer more than
il is safe to make them suffer, from the lack
of suitable protection Hgaiust the winters
cold. Every consideration of policy, pres
sure, and duty is urging each side to the
attack. Aud there they stznd, face To face,
with only the narrow river between
Burnside ought to have $50, 600 men. Lee
is believed by his Baltimore friends, who
keep communication with him, TO have
10000, including StonewaIl Jackson's
corps.
Yet, with the campaign in Virginia
brought to this imminent verge, there is
no emotion, no excitement 10 catch the first
booming Of cannon in the fight. There was
never SO great "A degree of popular uncon.
Germ on the eve of gigantic battle II
there were u universal superstition that the
cOuvergiug of the two armies toward Fred
ericksburg were all sham, there could
hardly be quieter lookout on their meua-
cling positions 10 front of that venerable
town. We will not attempt to explain the
singular phenomenon we have described.
But certainly''a deeper public interest would
be more becoming at such a critical mo.
ment. Battles do not always nor oftenesi
begin by premeditation. They frequently
commence most unexpectedly to both COM
batants. A stray shot-a misunderstood
m0Temeut-Rn erroneous order BY a subor-
dinate-any trifiing error, may precipilaIt
conflict when opposing hosts are placed
| MS the two armies are at fredericksburg
Any moment we may hear that blood is
| flowing ia torrents and the fate of the
Union hanging on the issue of the most
| sauguinarY battle of the war No potriol
has excuse to forget the prayer, "God save
the Republicr'

The Coal DIEEers' StrIke-Letter from
John Nolan.
Editors LntelligeMeer:
Some evil disposed persons have been
for several days past iudustriously circu.
lating malicious report, 10 the effect that
was the occasion of originating the late
strike among the coal diggers, and cor
respondent, who signs himself zone in
need of Coal, endeAVOTs in to.day's issue
of your paper to confirm the falsehood, by
asserting that prominent coal merchant
had urged his men to stand by their COM
rades, and that no coal should be dug in
his bank until their demands were satisfied.
IL is true that your correspondent does not
directly allude TO me, as the prominent
merchant who is said to have urged his
men to strike, but his remarks taken 10
connection with rumOrs circulated on the
streets, induces me to be believe that NAV
assume that am the one to whom he has
reference. Now assert, without fear of
contradiction, that had not the slightest
intimatiOn that my men had any intention
of striking until they had laid down their
tools and come out on the platform, having
been persuaded to pursue that course by a
gang OF miners that came from Fulton
When discovered that they were deter
mined TO strike, advised aud urged them,
as the following certificate will abundautIy
testify, to resume their work, aud l would
pay them whatever price other merchants
consented to pay. JoHS NOLAN.
