FRIDAY DECEMBER 10, 1867
Gen. Burnside's Position.

The withdrawal of Burnside's army
from Fredericksburg has caused despon-
dency altogether beyond any real cause
for such feeling. The reason for this
may be found in the fact that such ample
preparation has been made that the pub
lie had come to think that no serious OBJ
stace would or could interpose between
our army and Richmond We must not
forget that the rebels are ktenly alive to
the fact, that this is the turning point
with them. 1t they allow us to take
Richmond and conquer Virginia entire,
their cause is ruined. So, just in proper
ton as the results of our success will be
fatal to them will THEN efforts be incrcas-
ed to prevent Burnside reaching the Con-
Tolerate Capital. JEFF Davis said, but
the other day in Tennessee, that this was
the turning point with them. The rebel
General Lee will, therefore, do all that
his means and his skill will allow, to OPP
pose our onward advance, We cannot
expect to march on Richmond unopposed,
and without difficulties. Those persons,
therefore, who are descending, and fall to
abusing everybody, from the President
down, because Cen Burnside has re.cross-
ed the Rappahannoch, do not act very
wisely

rial compared as tavorab!y with the rebel
army as Barnsidc's does to-day, with that

admirably thus far. Oar troops have
marched well, and acted molly. With
the Generals in command, earnest and
able, with the troops anxious and brave,
there is no such word as fail Uuforta-
nate'y the pontoon bridges were not sent
to the RaPpahanuock until the rebels had
time to secure the hills in the rear of
Fredericksburg, which commanded the
city. Somebody is cuIpaby to blame for
this neglect. But weeks time will, per-
haps, give better look to the matter
the present moment is only the darkness
preceding the daylight. Burnside viii

Blue Wednesday.

Wednesday was " blue " day in very
deed. The news Of the re-crossing of the
RaPpahannock BY General Burnside, al
though the feat was performed without
any molestation, is disheartening. in the
absence of the reason for it. Left to the
conjeetures of each one, the tendency is
to ascribe it to necessity rather than to
strategy. The effect is decidedly damp
ening and saddening, But few take a
hopeful look at our situation, and most
fear the army will 20 into winter quar-
tiers. We cannot fully agree with the
responding, and utterly scout the idea OF
winter quarters. There has been no
fighting since Saturday; and in that con-
test, if we did not succeed at all points,
the rebels certainly did not defeat US. In
all the contests of the day, when the rcb-
els marched out to meet us on equal terms,
they lost more than we did The cores
pendent of the y. Y. Herald says:
I'VE have conflicting accounts of the
losses of the rebels Where they fought
behind their works they are not believed
to have lost so heavily as we did but
where they left their works and advanced
to meet us on fair and equal terms, they
suffered much more heqriiy than ace did
Thus those engaged where the enemy kept
behind their Qualifications estimate their
loss at much less than ours, while those
whom they met in open field insist that
their killed and wouniei are at least
double ours. TIE struggle on our lett,
under Gen. Franklin, WAS especially OBJ
stinate, and his eventual success decided
the fate of the day. 1t Is understood that
has been received that no fur
ther reinlorcements were regarded there
as being needed from this quarter, though
