From the Front.

A week ago tonight the artillery and pom
toon trains were moving into position before
Fredericksburg. The Geographic report OF
Thursdays movements needs no corrections
1t appears that no serious resistance was Oh
fered to the passage of Gen. Burnside's army.
The water front of the city, afiording shelter
for rifemen, was of course occupied for the
purpose of annoying the pontooniers; and
there was some fighting in the streets after
crossing, but no battle. The enemy fell back
to his intrenched position on the highlands
surrounding the city. On Friday Gen. Sum-
ner's grand division crossed the river at Fred
ericksburg,-"to be .tolioced by Major Gen.
Hooker's," says the telegraph. Gen. Frank
Inns grand division crossed about three miles
below. The rebel guns are almost silent. 1t
is plain that Gen. Lee wants to meet Burn
side on the south bank of the Rappahannock,
and equally plain that he means to await an
assault within his ntrenchments. If Burn
side should be beaten then, routed with
river in his rear spanned by only four floating
bridges, the reverse would be signal.
Then comes the heavy fighting OF Saturday.
Summers troops on the right charge repeated
ly in the face of battery posted on an emf
hence and protected by flanking rife pits, fall
back and form under fire, displaying the cool
est courage, but to no purpose. Franklin
drives back the enemy's right, commanded by
Stonewall Jackson, for mile most obstinately
contested and only won by the sacrifice of many
lives jackson is driven to, not from his
works. We gained nothing substantial on
Saturday. The action was simply recon-
noissance in force. Gen. Rockers grand divis-
ion does not appear TO have been engaged.
Sigel's reserve grand division had not arrived,
though reported by telegraph some days ago,
and Hooker's division, acting as reserve, re-
manned perhaps on the north side of the Rap
pahannock. This was not a general engage
ment. Gen. Burnside expected to test, not to
carry the enemy's position.
The position is very strong. The New
York Herald reports six distinct lines Of de-
fence seen by san old army officer with a
glass. This is not very trustworthy authori-
ty; however, Sunday and Monday passed with
no hostile demonstrations of any account, the
enemy strengthening his position, Gen. Burn
side waiting for Sigel, who arrived on Monday,
or perhaps for something else. For yesterday
dispatch dated Falmouth, ION the Kappa
hammock, opposite to Fredericksburg,) 8.45 A.
NJ, reports our troops all on this side of the
river, and the pontoons taken up. The posi-
ton was too strong, then, to be attacked in
front; or did the rain aud the rising river
render the line of retreat to insecure TO risk a
great battle? Patience. we shall see.

Aid for Disabled Soldiers.

To the Editor ofthe Press
Allow me to suggest TO the patriotic men
and women ofoUr State, the necessity of
more vigorous and united action, in favor of
our sick and wounded soldiers.
Much has been done, yet more and greater
efforts must be made to Kurdish these suffering
soldiers with articles, that Government cannot
provide.
We are so far from the scenes of suffering.
that we do not feel the importance of imme-
diate action, as we should, if we had before
our eyes, as they do in Washington and Phila-
delphia, thousands and tens of thousands
stretched upon cots, begging Tor wooden shirts,
drawers and stockings, &c.
Cannot the good people throughout the
State be aroused, to make a united effort and
hold in every town and city, levee, fair, or
some kind of patriotic meeting, or meetings,
from Christmas to New Years day.
Let all denomination of Christians unite have
one general meeting with music and speeches.
A small fee for admittance would amount to
thousands of dollars, and the articles contrib
uted would be Of greater value.
If the editors throughout the State would
call the attention ftheir readers to some plan
of the sort suggested the people generally
would rally, strong and generously, to the re-
lief of our sick and wounded brethren. II
may be the last kind act we can do, to aid and
comfort the sick and dying soldier. 49,

SBTWe have frequent complaints, especial
ly from subscribers in the neighborhood of
small Post-oices, that their papers are receiv-
ed with great irregularity, and are frequently
soied as if they had been much handled be-
fore coming to the proper owners. We do
not wish, unless compelled to do so, to be
more specific in relation to the officials impli-
Gated, but we must protect our subscribers if
possible. No Postmaster has a right to the
use of a subscribers paper He has no right
to read it without permission of the owner,
much less to carry it from the office for the
use of his family or friends. He violates the
law just as much in taking such liberties, as
he would in prying into letters to ascertain
their contents or authors. We hope to hear
no further complaints.

gB- We think upon reflection that our
Leeds correspondent will see it can do no
good, while it may do much harm,-at least to
personal feelings,-to publish the extracts
from private letters which he has sent Ms We
doubt, too, if the author of the extracts would
like to have such familiar communications to
his family friends made public. 1t is not
strange that military officers sometimes make
mistakes, and overestmate the strength of an
enemy or Il position, and thus lose opportuni-
ties to strike blows because they do not wish
to strike in the dark. Very likely Gen. Nc
Clellan may have done so.in the case referred
to. So, too, it is possible that Burnside might
have crossed the Rappahannock the day he
arrived opposite Fredericksburg, had there
been no blunder at Headquarters, but perhaps
his crossing at that time might have been the
ruin of his army. At any rate, until we have
some evidence that delay was disastrous, or
that Burnside himself thought so, we do not
think it wise to intimate to our readers that
such was the fact.

Mr. EDTToR:-In your list of the six most
profitable varieties of pears, as recommended
by nj. p. Wilder, you include the "Vicar of
Winkfield." As you may know something of
the quality of this beautiful. if not always de-
licious fruit, hand you a sample for insertion
into your editorial columns. These pears are
fair specimen of the first production of the
tree, which proved truly most prolific bear
er. The tree in blossom was "sight to be-
hold and the fruit hung in clusters too heavy
for the strength of the limbs, many of which
were broken by the weight upon them. |
counted fourteen pears on one detached limb,
most of them of the size hand you. Next to
this tree for prolific bearing was Bonnie de
Jersey, on the ounce stock. From this tree
l gathered about three bushels. This tree was
badly broken by the weight of its fruit
These pears are superior in flavor to the vi
cars-yet no garden should be without these
varieties, extending as they do together over
long season. From little patch of ground,
about fifty feet square, | raised this season
about ten bushels of pears, of as many differ
ent varieties, besides several bushels of other
fruit, such as plums, currants, strawberries,
&c. WEE
Our kind friend is informed that the speci-
men was inserted" in the most approved
style, and that single pear was found suffi-
cient to fill a Column"

rB- A friend writes us in relation to the di-
rection of soldiers letters, and thinks, to make
sure thing, not only the company and regi-
ment should be stated, but the brigade, divis-
ion and corps. He is mistaken. A letter
plainly directed, as follows, for instance, - ohm
Smith, Co. b, 18th Maine Regiment, Washing
ton, ID. g." will be as sure to reach its desti-
nation as if covered all over with specific d.
rections. We send hundreds of papers to sol
ders, and in no case where they are thus di-
rected have we had complaints of their failure
In one case where chaplain, to save time, had
his paper changed to the place of his location,
he failed to receive it with regularity. From
Washington the papers are sent TO the regi-
ments to which they respectively belong. Not
one person in five, having occasion to write to
soldiers, can tell with certainty, their division,
corps and brigade, especially as these are often
changing. Write plain, and make the company
letter and the number of the regiment partic-
ulary so, and write the name of the state at
full length, so that Me. may not be mis- taken
TOR Mo, and there is no danger.

. The Franklin Patriot is a paper of rare
qualities. 1t is edited by Linscot and Pills
bury-a brace of lawycrs-and thus enjoys ad-
vantages not often vouchsafed to a country
paper. Then the dignity of those thorough
breds,' their elegance of diction, their purity
of taste, their broad Catholicity, their I'M
doubted loyalty all these qualities combine
to produce dull editorial corps such as few
papers enjoy. Here is "A sample brick:
1T is little singular that President Lincoln
has not one word to say'in commentator of
our soldiers, or any OF our officers, while more
than half ofthe Message is devoted to the ne
gro question. Woody heads, thick lips, and
long heels, are great ways above par now-a-
days"
From complimentary notice of ourseli in
the columns of the above paper, we infer that
the editors do not think highly of our political
qualities. We don't blame them particle.
They know with what zeal we once labored,
on stump and with pen. TO transfer one Of
them TO a seat in Congress, and knowing this,
they know to what slower depths" of political
degradation we have proved oursef able to de-
scend. We can't say single word in self-de-
fence. We have felt ashamed of the deed for
years, and had vainly hoped it might be charg-
ed to the indiscretions of youth.
