Prsssntment of the Grand Jury of the Confederate

PRESENTMENT.
The Grand Jury Of the District Court OF the Con-
federate States, for the District of Pamco in re-
Spouse to the charge of your Honor, to inquire and
present to the Court all abuses and evils, which we
may believe threaten the good of the country, do
most earnestly represent that in their opinion the
various speculatons and unconscionable extortions
every where carried on and practised, is great
evil that ought 20 be speedily corrected.
We cordially adopt the language of an eminent
Jurist in an adjoining State Judge Gholson, which,
in our opinion, does not too strongly characterize
the spectators and extoStoners and which forciby
and truthfully represent the evils with which the
country. is now cursed.

The Fight at Fredericksburg.

The extravaganr calculations of the Abolition
presses upon the anticipated of Burnside in
his ION to Richmond" ola Fredericksburg, have
been signally disappointed by merciful Provi
dence the skill of Gen. Lee and the bravery of
troops. Recent intelligence indicates that vic
tory has been signal than at first developed.
The success of Burnside in crossing the Rappahan-
mock, to have been looked for by those acquainted
with the position of both parties Gen. Lee, there
fore, allowed him to without risking too much,
in order to invite Burnside to- position more IA
vorable to our success. The result has proven his
sagacity.
Our limits forbid detailed account of the great
battle of Saturday last 1t opened as carly as
o'clock in the morning add continued during the
day. The corps Of Gen. Jackson occupied the right
and that of Gen. Longstreet the left. A portion of
Gene A. P. Hills, McLaw's, and Ransom's divisions
bore the brunt of the fight There were instances
of desperate bravery not surpassed on any field
The night closed with our troops in possession of
the battle-ground and the enemy driven back
A renewal of the fight was anticipated on Sun
day and Monday, but the latest information shows
that Burnside had been so roughly handled he was
in no temper to renew it
The following official dispatch from Gen. Lee, re-
ceved at Richmond on Tuesday night indicates a
change of base on the part of Burnside:

As far be ascertained this stormy morning the
enemy has disappeared in immediate 'front.' and has
recrossed the RappahannOck.

point. K. +. LEE Gen. Cong.
Much of the time of the enemy since the battle
has been occupied in burying his dead and caring
for his wounded. The estimate of his loss is said
to be between 5000 to 5000 killed and wounded,
and about 900 prisoners. Our own loss as esti.
mated by Gen. Lee in his official report does not
exceed 1900 during the operations around Fred
erickSburg.
