Having succeeded in crossing the Rappahan
noe, the army was promptly advanced to assault
the enemys works. The order was obeyed with
alacrity, Kimball Western brigade leading the
column; tho exposed to a terrific cross fire at
every step. our troops continued to gain ground
until night closed the contest, and they were
Withdrawn to the original position. At con-
sultation afterward, it was decided that the en-
emy's position could not be taken without an
immense sacrifice Of life. and that the army must
be withdrawn to their original camps, and an at
tempt made to draw out the enemy. This was
accordingly done without loss. and the army is
again on the opposite side of the river. Colonel
w T Dennis, of this city, Agent of the State,
and now with the army, gives the following as
the loss in the battle of Fredericksburg: killed
$50; wounded 1000; missing 500, making to-
tai loss. in round numbers of $50 The loss
Of the rebels is 500 killed, and 500 wounded.
The latest dispatches represent the army to be
in fine spirits, and exceedingly anxious to move

A Lame Attempt ut Lying.

Zone of the tricks of the abolitionists at
the democratic jubilee meetings is to shout
for JEFF Davis. and then charge it upon the
democrats. "--Rchmond Jetfersonian.
One Of the tricks of thieves. Y are told.
is to cry 'stop thiei," to divert attention
from themselves, just as the jeff. is now
doing Richmond Palladium.
So the organ of Democracy in Wayne
county admits that there was shouting for
jeff. Davis at the Cambridge jubilee. When
such large crowd OF Democrats were col.
lected at that place. why did they permit
''Aboli,ionists'' to shout for JEFF. Davis, if
they themselves were loyal men? Not be-
cause they were lamb like lovers of peace,
for while the whole day was disgraced by
drunken brawls and fights, none Of the bull
lies were offended by shouts for JEFF. Davis.
With all its natural affinity fer lying the
Jeffersonian has made out bungling CASE
Has the editor forgotten that his General.
Beauregard. has ordered those who don't
and not those who do shout for jeff. Davis
TO be called Abolitionistse If the JEFF.

The PAY OF OUR VoLUNrEERs.--Gov-
ernor Morton has memoria.ized Congress for
an increase Of the pay Of the private soldiers
in our volunteer army. He gives as reason
for this that the prices of labor have greatly
advanced in the Northern States since the
beginning of the war, while the cost of liv-
ing has become still greater. He gives a
table in which are contrasted the cost Of
various necessaries of life on the 9th Of
August last year and on November 9th Of
the present year, at Indianapolis. From
this it appears that brown musns have
risen, 100 per cent. bleacbed muslin, ITS
per cent. /; prints, checks, drillings. jeans.
&C.. about 100 per cent. !; sugar. 81 per
cent. coffee. so per cent. -four, ~ per
cent.--wood, 100 per cent. meal, Is per
cent
Governor Morton says. 1T is entirely
safe to say that the cost of living. in the
most economical style. throughout the
Northern States. has increased at least rs
per cent. within the last fifteen months, and
prices are still advancing" To increase
the pay of soldiers, Governor Morton thinks,
would p" increase the efficiency Of the army.

and perhaps avoid the necessity of another
draft"
1t would be we'll. while Congress is con-
sidering Governor Morton's memorial, il

British Aid for the Rebels.

The Geographic rumors of the outfit OF
new English vessels for the rebels are fully
confirmed by the files received to- day by
the Hibernian. The Liverpool correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian says:
GA couple Of new iron steamships will
leave the Mersey in the course of week
or Two, on Confederate account Both
vessels will be regular clippers either un-
der steam or canvas. The fast paddle
steamer Douglas. belonging to the Isle of
Man Steamship Company, has just been
sold for the purpose of running the block
ade, and will leave with valuable cargo in
a short time"
The London Times adds to this informa-
ton:
"The Douglas is a paddle steamer of
great engine power. and. while plying be-
tween the Mersey and the Isle Of Man with
sea going qualities"
The Guardians correspondent appends
this bit of news TO his story Of the ships
"Apropos of the running of the blockade,
We may state that by the capture BY the
federal cruisers of the steamers Scotia and
Anglia, and the chase and loss of The Min
no, several gentlemen in Liverpool and
Manchester have been let in to an enor-
MUS extent-some people say as much as
ESQ. OOO."
The departure Of the Alabama's mate,
already reported in our dispatches, was
formally announced a. Lloyds in the follow
ing terms:

pool with a view of capturing or destroying
