Everything last night was hustle and activity,
q to-day was the time fixed for the crossing
Sf the river.
During the night the poptoons were conveyed
70 the river, and the artillery of one hundred
and forty-thrce pieces placed in position oppo-
site the city.
Att o'clock this morning the rebels fired
two signal guns, and during the latter part OF
the night rockets were frequently seen to ascend
within their lines.
At five O'Clock the construction of three
Bridges, in front Of the city. was commenced.
When the bridges were about half completed
The enemy opened murderous dre of infantry
from the houses on the river bank.
Up to this time not shot had been fred
from cur side.
The engineers were driven from the bridges,
and several killed aud wounded.
At six o clock General Burnside ordered al
Sne guns 10 De opened ON tne CITY.
The cannonade which has continued mp to
the present time, is terrible.
The city is on fire, and It's distraction sp-
pears 10 be certain.
The enemy about seven O'Clock this morning
opened with their heavy guns from their works
but so far have done no serious injury.
General Franklin constructed his bridges
about three miles below the city, meeting with
but slight opposition.
His troops are now DRESSING. The gunboats
are now shslling the enemy about fifteen miles
down the river, where they have been concsn-
trating their forces for the past two days.
The concentrated fire Of our batteries on the
city has had the effect Of driving back the
snemy's infantry, and the work on the bridges
hes again been commenced.
The troops are all under arms near the river,
prepared TO rush over - soon rs the bridges
ere completed.

Dee. l1-Noon.
On the attempt being made to finish the
bridges in front Of the city the rebel infantry
again opened their are.
The artillery in position again opened on the
city, the result being that II was frsd in several
new places
The enemy have used very little artillery up
10 this time, as IL would endanger their own
men, who are hodingathe river front.
General Burnside has just issued an order to
concentrate every available gun upon the city,
The New York herald., 1862-12-12

The bali has opened on the Rappahannock.
One hundred and forty-three guns opened
st six o'clock yesterday morning on the de-
voted city of Fredericksburg, and up to the
latest moment the firing continued without in
tsrruption.
Its destruction appears certain. The enemy
opened their fire at seven o'clock, but thus far
have done no serious injury.
Gen. Franklins grand division was crossing
the river three miles below the city, having
constructed bridges there with but slight oppo-
xltion from the enemy.
The gunhoats were shelling the enemy fifteen
miles down the river.

under the cover of the fire Of which it rs De-
lieyed that the bridges can be finished.
The killed and wounded so far do not amount
70 more than fifty men.

CINCINNATI, April I2.-The Ga.
z,tte's Pitssburg correspondent says,
The sum aud substance at the battle
is, on Sunday we were pushed from
disaster to disaster till we lost every
Division Camp we had and were
driven within hall a mile. OF the
Landing where the approach ofnight
and the timely aid Of the gunboa's
and tine tremendous efforts OF our ar.
,illerists and Buell's approach saved
us
On Monday, after zine hours hard
fighting we simply regsined what
we lost on Sunday. Nota Division
advanced half mile beyond our
camps on Monday except Lew Wall
lace's
The lowest estimate places our
loss in killed and wounded at three
to four thousand and the prisoners
from three to tour thousand. The
rebel loss in XII led and wounded is
probably a thousand more. Tne
rebels in their retreat left acres GOV.
cred with their dead whom they had
carried to the rear and destroyed the
heavy supply trains they had
brought up.
