The "New Base '

Whatever the YANKEES may pretend hereafter
I, /, evident that Burnside meant to make freeer.
scksburs the base Of h. operations In bis advsue'
upon Richmond. The various extracts which We
published from Yankee papers yesterday proves
a much rhwarted in this design, 1t ia more thar
probable that he viii again change his taie,
snd embarkipg on his numerous Acct in the Potc'
mac, come down to the South side Of James rive.
Whichever way be may approach we feel iusiiee
IN saving that he will And Ms ready for him, e. he
found uss, rrederieksburs. the Yankee paper
we're anything else bu. what they are, We shod O
believe the indication Of Fredercksburs AZ TN

Intentions Of burnside BEING. however, sieh A.

believe TO be the truth With regEd to their Gensr

The exulss..on of The Ysnkes prass over the

with Gansrsi Lee at i.s head had already barred
the way to Burnside, the Washington Star tells us
shs. the foe march Of the latter General had a
ready brought him twenty miles nearer kschnoni
than the main portion OF thu Confederate army. -
The writer supposed, of course, sha. Burnside bao
possession OF Fredericksburg, and hsd deceived
Gen Lee completely. Inspired by this exhilsratinS
thought, he proceeds to distribute lie acts snd
scenes Of the campaign, SIS though he were narrsi'

hours after he moved before h.s destination
