at first anticipated.
From the correspondents of The Army
of the Potomac we have interesting
accounts of the crossing of Rappahan-
mock. Twenty of the engineers en-
gagged in the construction of the pom
toon bridges were killed at the first fire
of the rebel sharpshooters - among
them Capt. Brainard. their commander
by the second fire Capt. Perkins OF
the 5Oth New York fell dead, and Capt.
Mcdonald was severely wounded. The
fire from our batteries opened at once.
and continued. without cessation from
5 l-2 until noon. When the tog lifted /,
fifteen houses were seen to be in flames.
Cur batteries rested until 3. General
Summers grand division was at this
tinze drawn up in line of battle. The
Michigan crossed in boats under a
heavy fire, and drove out the rebel ri
femen-killed and wounded fifteen and
took fifty prisoners. A drummer boy
only ten years old, was in the first boat
that crossed. The Is7th Pennsy lvania.
without orders, laid the bridges near
the railroad in the face Of a severe fire,
crossed it, and joined the 7th Michigan.
At sunset the firing ceased. The bridges
were completed in the afternoon, and
the order to move was issued at sunset.
The I'd Rhode Island started across on
the double-quick. All the troops, how
e, er, encamped for the night or the
right bank of the river. One of the
bridges was built by Mcleod Murphy s
Regiment. Owing to the inability to
complete other bridges, the original
plan of crossing at five points was not
carried out on Friday morning. The
bornbardment on Thursday was at the
rate of 500 shells per minute. Some
of the batteries used 900 rounds. The
rebel batteries cannot reach the river
bed. Gen. Burnside had positive infor-
nation that 10000 rebels had been sent
to Port Royal, expecting an attempt on
the part of the loyal troops to cross
there.
Gen. Sigers corps, it is understood, had
yesterday joined Gen. Burnside, and other
movements are understood to be in progress
both to reinforce the Army of the Potomac
and secure the safety OF its communications
On Friday some of Stuart's cavalry made
a raid into Dumfries about ten miles above
Aqua Creek, cut the telegraph wires and
captured few suttlers and soldiers. Gen

December IA, 1i.:O A NJ. {
There is no fog to-day. The Is shining
brightly with strong breeze. At daylight
this morning there WAS heavy fire of artillery
and infantry in front Of the enemv's works
where Sumner and Hooker were engaged yes
terday. About an hour afterwards the fire
siackened, and then was heard only at inter
walls until tle present moment. The same oc-
Cured in front of General Franklin's position
down the river.
The object of both parties this morning was
evidently to feel the other. During last night
and'this forenoon the rebels have considerably
extended their works and siren gtheued their
position. Large bodies cf rebel troops are now
to be seen where but few were found yesler-
day.
Those OF our dead that were killed yesterday
while charging in front Of the enemy's works
still remain where they fell. When attempt
ing their removal last night the Rebels would
open with infantry. The wounded have all
been removed from the field and all the dead
obtained are now being buried. The indica~
tons"are that no decisive battle will be fought
to-day unless the rebels bring on the fl ght,
which is not probable.
