AoUIA CREEK. Nov %.
Persons who left the vicinity of Fredericks-
burg this afternoon, who have arrived here,
state that all was quiet up.to that time Ii had
commended to rain, and severe storm was
expected. The expected bolnbardment of the
place had not commenced at O'Clock, and il
was not known when it would, The rebels
are still in strong force in Fredericksburg and
back OF the town, and are anxiousl, watching
our every movement. From the large camp
fires seen every night 1t Is thought that they
have large force IN this vicinity. Prisoners
captured state that many are confident that
StonewaH Jackson wo4ld add his forces To
theirs, while others hold the opinion that he
will be stationed at Richmond as kind of re-
serve to succor either Lees army, or the one
meuaced by our forces at Suffnlk. The latter
opinion Is more prevalent than the former one,
and should not be surprised, from present
appearaaces, that it would be the correct one !:
especially ik,siew> OF the fact that the rebel
Government have great confidence in Jacksell's
executing rapid movements, and that they
think he Is the best man for an emergency.

General Comd'g.


The Memphis Daily Appeal refers to the
condition of affairs in Kentucky, and speaks
oheerfully on the subject. The Appeal thin ks
if the Federal news be true that Buell. has beat
en- Bragg to Louisville, it does not argue in
the least that the latter has been out-gencraled.
1t is reasonable to suppose that when Bragg
entered Kentucky by its eastern route from
Knoxville and Chattanooga, instead of going
the direct route, as advised by Gov. Harris,
via Nashville, and thus driving Buell. before
him, he chose to make the crossing of the
Cumberland river several miles above Nash.
vile, and thus make flank movement on
Buell..
This, we conceive, was his policy, and be-
lieve he has succeeded in the purpose he had
in view. He has relieved North Alabama and
the larger portion of Middle Tennessee from
the presence Of the enemy. Il the Federal

The 4Sth Regt. at sharpsburs.
a corresponding of the Western Democrat.
writing from Martinsourg, Va, says:

writing from Martinsourg, Va, says:
% the night OF the 10th, at A. NJ, we
.efl Tor Sharpsburg for Sharpsburg via Shep-
hedstown and again crossed the Potomac into
Maryland. On the l7:h we were drawn up r
line OF battle, soon after daylight, in Gen D.
I'll. HIPS division the right of the centre,
thfre listening to the heavy firing on our left
until about 10 o'clock, when we were ordered
hastily to support our left, under Jackson sore
ly pressed by near Y the whole force of the en-
envy. We rushed forward at double gu ick
for about two miles and went forthwith into &C
tion, with 700 men rank aud file, charging
through wood shelled by the enemy, and
through which grape aud canister and rifle
balls were pouring thick as hail. Onward rush
ed the 4Sth and the whole brigade through the
woods leaving many wounded and some dead
and am sorry to say, some of the living un-
hurt behind us. W charged over fence about
100 yards in front of the enemy's terrible bat
terry of Is guns, belching death and destruc>
tiot at every discharge. We rushed forward
still to within 80 yards of the enemy's batter
les, and tney evidently began to waver, but
our lines were broken in consequence Of the
want OF drill and discipline in our new recruits
the conscrpts who fought we'll for raw troops,
but understood but little of marching in line
of battle. The regiment was thrown into con
fusion and driven back with great slaughter,
many Of our wounded being taken prisoners
An effort made by the Lieut.. Colonel to
rally the reg iment under cover of a hill in the
woods, but in vain considerable portion of
the regiment he afterwards succeeded in raly>
in behind stone wall near the woods, and was
afterwards oined by the Colonel with few
others. Here the 2nd South Carolina, and 18Th
Mississippi regiments rallied with us.
We suffered a severe shellng here, but stood
our ground until late in the evening when we
were ordered over to our extreme left, where
we were subjected to one of the most ter
rife shellings We had ever experienced. Some
few were slightly wounded by it. We remain
cd on the field near our battle ground all night
without eating nything but few roasting
ears since we left Harper's Ferry-about "a
hours-and slept on the ground without cover
ing. We continued there on the next day
neither party wishing to begin the fght-and
We buried our killed and collected our wound
/ ed.
Our boys have only one SUIT of clothing
(weIl worn) and very little bed clothing, hav-
! ing left them behind in our retreat, and not a
blanket for every half dozen men, and many
of them barefooted. They are half starved,
half clothed, hare marched, hard fought, and
make but little complaint. Something must
be done for them, in the way Of bed clothing
in particular, and that quickly.

ExtOrted Praise.

A Newborn correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives flaming and of course generally
false account Of the late fight in Washington
but he pays the following extorted tribute to
the courage of our troops:
The enemy exhibited superior courage and
tact while they fou ght more like madmen than
any thing else, in fact they have displayed by
this dashing attack, courageous audacity
which presume no Union force but one COM
posed of lunatics would think of initiating. Let
no one say hereafter that North Carolinians
are towards. They may however be called
indlscreet in exhibiting a superabundance of
courage which Morgan and Stenewall Jackson
have yet to excel.
