FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Particulars Of the Recrossin3 Of the Kappa
hammock.
From the Government Dispatches

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF The IOlon~A',
December l7,-Y esterday morning, when day
light appeared: the enemy seemed to be, as no
doubt they were, perfectly astonished that the
army had succe eded in returning to this side
of the Rappahannock We returned, as al
ready stated, without losing single man or
gun in the retrograde movement.
4 few soldiers who had struggled Oft made
their appearance on the river bank after the
pontoon bridges had been removed, but they
we're brought over in small boats and few
cavalrvmen, who were guarding house inhao-
tied by private family were not during the
night aware Of the crossing, but only became
aware Of it in the morning: and safely swan
the river
The pickets of the contending armies being
separated by few yards Of space only, rem
dered it necessary that everything on the part
Of the Federals should be conducted with the
utmost caution. Those Of the troops on the
outposts were unaware Of the movement until
lust before daylight when an officer went to
each individual man. and IN low tone ordered
lin to fall back
After they got sufficiently far to be out Of
DANCER, they were ordered to quicken their
pace and reach the bridges
About Q clock yesterday morning the enc
nv advanced their sklrmishers along the entire
line. and By noon had established their plchets
near the river bank.
The Federals had large number Of dead on
what was regarded as neutral ground: and as
soon as II was known that the forces had evac,
uated, the soldiers Of the enemy commenced
robbing the Iifeless bodies THIS was plainly
seen through field glass, as we'll as lndlst1nct-
" with the naked eye.
About 10 or Ii clock, females, neatly dress
ed, were seen walking the streets OF trederlcks-
burg. They had doubtless been concealed IN
their houses during the time the city was occu7
nied BY the Federal troops, and had awaited
themselves &C the first opportunity 70 make
their temperance. r.,
On Monday, the pickets in front Of the LETT
wins aoreoii anon an armistice among them
SELVES. and freely intermingled, exchanging
their dead comrades. who lag upon their neu-
tral ground. During this time a general OF the
Federal; army rode By and put an end to these
r,ro9n3f2ings The result was that both parties
Immediately commenced firing; when nine OF
the Eedora1s were killed.
After the general had left the locality, the
friendly intercourse Of the pickets was renew
ed, and butternuts and blue uniforms, freely
MINGLED About this time zen. Franklin dis
patched fag Of truce: which the enemy IN
mediatfIv recognized, and the exchange OF the
dead bodies was resumed ard continued until
On 81 nday afternoon, Gen Lee sent flag
of truce 70 Gen Burnside, asking him to de
tail men to bury his dead in front of Sumner $
9rand division. This was done.
The wounded with the exception OF those
whom the enemy obtained, have ali been
brought 10 this side Of the Rappahanno3kk: and
as rapidly as possible are being sent to Wash
