The Times gives The following account
of the withdrawal Of our troops from Fred
ericksburg. Il says: The movement COM
menced at dark on Monday night All
the sick and wounded were removed during
the day to the hospital tents this side,
Burnside inspected the position of the
troops in the afternoon, and the general
activity indicated that another battle was
imminent. Surgeons we're ordered to be in
readiness to care for a large number OF ad.
ditional wounded. A withdrawal of our
forces, however, was determined on at Il
council Of oil the corps commanders. Dur
ing the day the undertaking was regarded
as perilous but il successful would rescue
the army from another battle, which would
accomplish little except the destruction ot
valuable lives.
The troops had received no iu'imation of
fetreat, and had laid down on their arms
FOR the night, when an order was given to
ell 10. The troops supposed it was for a
night assault on the enemy's works, and
were not undeceived until they found them
selves on the PoutooBs crossing the stream
The bridges being covered with earth TO
aeaden the sound of artillery, and the high
wind and darkness, prevented rebels bear
lug or seeing the movement
FraukIn's Division moved as soon as II
was dark, also Summers and HookerS,
from under be very guns of the enemy.
Many officers aud soldiers expressed
great regret, saying they preferred dying

wounded we're left on the field. Two brig

The Times correspondent thus describes
the rebel position our forces were expecting
to storm and lake: There is bare pla

they will be exposed to fire, first, OF the
enemy's rharpsbooters posted behind "A

Mr.. REED
The most disgraceful affair
that has happened TO our arms for some
lime. took place yesterday. Three regI.
mruts belonging TO Gen. Dumont'S division,
viz, l06th and I08lh OHIO, l04th Illinois,
2d 1t diana cavalry and one section of the
18Th Indiana Battery, were stationed near
llarisvile, on the Cumberland river guard
ing ford, were attacked by the combined
force of Morgan aud Bennett on Sunday
morning last. and made an unconditional
surrender. The fight was very short,
indeed, our forces showing no resistance
Whatever. As soon as the news was re-
ceiyed, our Brigade Immediately started
for the scene OF action, but arrived just in
time to see the rear guard cross the river.
Nearly all the tents were destroyed, togeth.
er with large amount Of baggage; the
artillery they carried away, but most Of The
small aims were left, also camp equippagp
Our loss in killed were 3S, aud auoul 100
wounded the rebels left IT killed on the
field, bnt carried away their wounded,
which, l think, was very small.
IL was a most disgraceful affair TO both
officers and men had tbay held their
ground half nn hour longer, reiuforcemenss
would ha Fe reached them. From all that
/ can learn some Of the troops never fred 4
