OPPOSITE FREpzRicKsBuRe Va. Friday. Nov. a. 1862
In statu quo still looking at the Rebels across
the Ra?pahsunock. They are vigorously terrifying
all the roads leading out of Fredericksburg and the
hills facing u.s. On the latter they are building
second line of works inside the first. Desertsrs say
Braggs troops are arriving from the West but TINS
lie not fully accredited All our information, how
ever agrees that the Rebels have concentrated @
very formidable force to dispute our crossing the
river. 1t is variously stated at from 4O,OOO to
100000. Their aim seems TO be TO gain time for the
Indictment weather and bad roads of Winter TO re-
tard our advance.
The cheers and yells of the Rebel troops in their
camps scross the river can be heard daily with great!
distinctness on our front and right flank. They
differ from those Of our men by irregulaTity aud
peculiar sharpness and shriness.
Gen. Sumner reviewed this grand division on
Wednesday. He ranks next TO Burnside, and in bis
Absence or incapacity would take command of the
entire army.
Alazge number Of Colonels in this army have
been officially recommended for Brgadier. Generals
ard Brigadiers for Major-Generals within the past
week. Under the present organization, four corps
are commanded by Brigsdier- Generals and several
divisions BY Colonies. Brig. Gen. Wilcox still CON-
nands the Ninth Corps. Gen. Sturgis, now COM
saanding one Of bis divisions is reported to have
rent in protest against this claiming to rank him,
on The ground that the action OF the President in
dating Wileoxs commission back past a regular
session Of Congress to the period of the first Bull
Run engagement was illegal. The question excites
much interest among officers.
The Rebel pickets continue to face our own with
only the river between but there has been no firing
Tor several days. They extend down the Kappa
hammock FIVE or six miles, but not Ear above us up
the stream.
Thanksgiving was observed yesterday by religious
service in most Of the regiments, and turkey en- the
dinner tables Of most of the officers. TIE weather
10 plesssnt but tho roads are still somewhat muddy
and greatly cut up.
