GENERAL INTEaaasENGE.

During the afternoon the rebels came to
stand.still and for time assumed the often.
Give, but were brayely met and repulsed with
heavy loss. II was at this time that some
300 Of Hills command fell into our hands.
The enemy contested every foot Of ground,
and II was only by the hardest kind Of fight.
ing that he would be compelled to change
his position.
The obstinacy with which the rebels held
possession Of their ground rendered Gen.
Franklin's task very difficult one. He had
to cope with Stonewall jackson, but the
Union commander wac not discouraged.
He had driven the enemy back several
rods, and old Stonewall met his match this
time, and at shutdown Franklin had succeed
ed in driving the enemy nearly mile. and
his troops occupied the field during the TO
mainder Of the night. Tho movement on
the left was complete success.
The right, consisting Of tho 18th and 9th
corps, under Gen. Sumner, got into action
at 10 o'clock. the battle raging furiously all
day. The enemy occupied tho woods and
hills in the rear Of the city, the odds being
decidedly In their favor. The courage Of the
Union troops was undauned, however, and
every inch Of ground was holly contested.
Il soon became evident that the first ridge
Of hills ON which the enemy was posted be-
hind earthworks could not be carried except
at the point Of the bayonet, and accordingly
Gen. Sumner ordered French's division TO
charge on the batteries. Gen. Howards d..
vision acted Ms support.

The War News.

Since the last issue OF this paper, the wal
news has been very important. Gen. Burnside
has crossed the Rappahannock, taking Freder.
icksburg. aud fighting one Of the severest bat.
ties Of the war.
The rebels, IL would seem, made no serious
resistance to the crossing OF the river. They
pursued this course because the nature Of the
country In the vicinity is such that, with our
forces across the river, the advantage in posi-
ton would be entirely on their side. As soon
rs our forces were on the southern side Of the
river. they were within shelling distance Of the
rebel batteries, which, with more or less vigor,
began to FIRE upon them. Indeed. the Federal
troops were within range Of the euemy's guns
from the moment they reached the opposite
shore. The lines were formed under FIRE, pre-
vious to the attack on Saturday.
OF the battle. Saturday. we can safely say
that the fighting Oft the Union troops was brave
and daring. They marched up, time after
time, into the very lannon's mouth, and did
not retire till the rebel showers ofshot and shell
hal 50 thinned their ranks that further advance
was known to be useless.
The Union artillery could not be used to adj
vantage owing TO the nature Of the ground
and so far as this arm Of the service was con-
cerned the rebels had Il all their own way. In
the advance to storm the works our troops were
exposed to the Gre OF two lines Of batteries in
the front, and to one line on both right and

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM New ORLEANS.

MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM NEW ORLEANS.
An election for two members Of Congress
to represent the two Districts, embracing
New Orleans took place the Cd inst.
The successful candidates were Benjamin
F. Flanders, elected in the first, and Mr..
Hahn for the second District.
The Delta says that Mr.. Flanders is a ma
tive of New Hampshire, but has resided in
New Orleans for thirty years. He was among
tho first to welcome Gen. Butler upon his
arrival in May last, and is for the Union ut
any cost. His chief opponent was Mr.. Bou.
ligny. the staunch Unionist from the same
district in the last Congress, who received,
however, only l36 votes, against 2,lS4 for
Mr.. Flanders. The other successful candi-
date, Mr.. Hahn, Isl lawyer by profession,
of German descent. who has lived in New
Orleans since boyhood, and was stout Un-
ionist through the darkest hours Of secession
madness. His chief opponent (though not
the one who got tho most votes) was Jacob
Barker, who made very great efforts to So
cure IN election, but was wofully beaten.

The Battle OF Fredericksburg.

NEW YORK, Dec. Is.
The Herald's correspondent ut Fredericks.
burg gives an account of the battle Of Sat-
urday. lie says the lines Of the rebels ex.
tend in the form Of semi.circle from Port
Royal to point about six miles above Fred.
ericksburg, strongly fortified and protected
by range Of high hills.
Stonewall jackson occupied the right wing,
Longstreet the centre, Gen. Lee and Stuart
the left, while Gen. A. p. Hills corps acted
as the reserve.
Lees reason for occupying the left was DO.
cause he could DO on his guard against Sigel,
who threatened to outaank him by way OF
Culpcpper.
The entire rebel forco was estimated at
200 900 men. and occupied a front Of not less
than 20 miles. The troops were for the most
part veterans who had fought through the
peninsula campaign. while the officers were
the ablest the South could produce.
The disposition OF the Union forces occu-
pied the whole Of Friday night and Saturday
morning, and Gen. Burnside was anxious to
commence the attack at as early an hour US
possible. Saturday morning came with o
dense fog; however, the disposition Of the
Union forces had been made. and Gen. Burn.
side determined to commence operations, log
or no fog. On the left Franklin moved bis
column, consisting Of the LIST and 9th corps,
Just before sunrise.
Skirmishing commenced q few minutes af-
ter daylight on tho extreme lef. A rebel
battery opened on our troops, and the 9th
New York State Militia regiment was order
ed to charge and take the cannon at the
point Of the bayonet.
The order was obcyed with alacrity, but
after ferco struggle they were compelled
to fall back.
At this critical moment Con. Tyler came
to their aid with brigade. Assisted by
Tyler's brigade. another attempt was made
to storm the rebel batteries, but without sue
cess.
The fight now became general on the ex.
treme left, and another desperate effort was
made to capture tho rebel battery by Gen.
Tyler's brigade. but the ERE Of the rebels
was 90 whitening in is effect our brave Eel.
lows were unable TO gain any advantage.
BY noon, the whole Of franklin's corps
engaged the enemy. and desperate effort
was made to turn the enemy's position and
drive him beyond the creek. Gen. franklin
commanded the movement In person. The
rebels maintained possession Of some small
hills, but gradually fell back.
