The following is description Of the
battle Of Frsdsrieksburg. which tool
place on Saturday Of last week:
The fog began TO disappear in the
forenoon. sfiording IN unobssructed
view Of our own and the rebels position
l, being evident that the 6rst ridge Of
hills in The rear Of the city .on which the
enemy had guns posted behind works.
could not bs carried except BY an in
fanrry charge. Gen. Sumner assigned
that duty 10 General French's division.
which. supported BY Gen. Howard's
troops. advanced 10 their works At ten
minutes past l2. at brisk run. The
enemy opened on them . very rapid Gre.
When within musket range At the base
Of the bill. our troops we're met BY ter
rible FIRE from the rebel infantry. which
were posted behind stonew all and some
houses on the right Of our line. The
checked the advance Of our men. and
they fell back 70 small ravine, but not
out OF musket range. At this time an
other body Of men moved to their assis-
lance in splendid style. Notwi.hstaud-
ing large gaps weIe made in their ranks
BY rebel artillery. when our troops ar
rived At the FIRST line Of rebel defences,
they double -quicked, and with fixed
bayonets endeavored 10 dislodge the rob.
els from their hiding places. The con.
concentrated fire Of rebel artillery and
infantry. which our men were forced to
!ace. was too much for them, and the
center gave way in disorder, bat were
afterwards rallied and brought back.
From tina. time the firing was carried
on, and never ceased until after dark.
Gen. Franklin who commanded the a.
tack on the left. met with better success.
He succeeded. after hard days fight
in driving the rebels about one mile.
At one time the rebels advanced to at
tack him. but were handsomely repuls-
ed With great slaughter. and loss Of be-
tween four and Eve hundred prison srs
belonging to A. p. Hills division. Gen.
Franklin's movement was directed down
the river. and his troops ere encamped
tonight not far from Aassaponix Greek.
Our troops sleep tonight whore they

1t is notable fact that the rebels
regard the proclamation Of Prssidsoi
Lincoln with the most intense hatred
and SO do all those in the North who
sympathizs with treason.
Now there 10 reason for this. If.
as many seem to think. the Proclama-
ton is as harmless as so much white
paper, why do the traitors regard it
With so much bitterness If it is not
going 10 hurt them, Why do they raise
such an outcry against it! 1t seems 10
US that those WHO claim that il is HARM
less. and yet raise howl over it. act
withou, reason. They must be either
insane or insincere.
Ii it is . measure that will hurt the
rebels. then every loyal man should
seize upon and hold fast to it. The
rebels are fierce, furious and determin-
cd. and scruple not to use every weapon,
lawful or unlawful, which they can
WELD. At this writing. our latest ad-
vices indicate the repulss Of our forces
from fredericksburg. and that the trail
tors are strongly posted. we'll armed
and vast in numbers. Hence the neces-
sity on the part of the government TO
put forth al its energies. to use every
means God has placed at its disposal.
and to strike at the life Of the rebellion.
The rebels fear the Proclamation. lst
them also feel it.
Mr.. Lincoln has pledged himself to
the nation before the world. and now
there is nothing left for him to do but
honorably aud honestly to
carry out hi. pledge. No backing
