Friday morning,
Dec. II, 10 o'clock.
After occupying the river front of the
city last night, we lost about 100 men, in
killed and wounded, while driving the
rebels through the city. They fired on
our men as they advanced through the
streets, while secreted in and behind the
houses. Not much mercy was shown to
those who were caught
This morning dense fog hid every
thing from view, but now it is practically
cleared away. The troops commenced
moving at an early hour-Major Gen.
Summers grand division leading the
way over in front of the city, to be fol.
e lowed by Major Gen. Hooker's grand
sion, which crosses nearly three miles
below the city, is nearly over. AT quar-
ter-past nine O clock the first gun was
fred, the engagement lasting about hall
an hour-the rebels not making very
spirited reply 1t is thought the troops
will all be over at noon.
Information received during the night
and this morning from deserters and
prisoners show that the rebels have two
strong lines of batteries in the rear Of
the city, the first one being one mile
back, and the second mile from the
first.
The whole army is in rapid motion
and well concentrated The troops are
in excellent spirits and anxious to be
led against the enemys works. The en-
L L e i
is believed will give battle. Much will
depend on the result of to-day. All fee

b. At ten o'clock this morning the fog
began to clear away, but before eleven
o clock the air was again thich, which
continued until two clock, when it en-
tirely disappeared. At quarter-past two
the rebels opened with all their guns
posted on the first ridge of hills.
: Their main fire was directed upon the
city, which was filled with our troops.
These guns, which we're posted on the
left of the ridge, are opened on the large
body of troops which crossed on the two
lower bridges, and had formed in line OF
battle and were moving obliquely down
the river, fronting the Massapomix. Al
though several of their shells exploded
over our troops, none were injured.
Gen. Boards cavalry, which crossed on
the lower bridge, had five men killed
while endeavoring to ascertain the en-
emys position.
The troops which crossed below are
sleeping on their arms tonight, the ad
vance being within three-quarters of q
mile of the Massapomix Creek, theil

PATENT PIPE .

PATENTED JANUARY 21st, 1862.
Requires only trial to prove its Incompatible
superiority to any other pipe now in use 1t may
be smoked without ANY DELETERIoUs OR UNPLKAs-
ANT VFFEcTs the oil of tobacco is dra into
the mouth and the tongue does not become furred
or coated from inhaling its poisonous properties.
The bowl is made of the finest Devonshre Clay, and
gives to the tobacco a peculiarly pleasant fra
GRANGE. The tobacco CANNOT BECOME MOIST, as in
ordinary pipes, because the drip beneath receives
the saliva that insensibly escapes into the stem
hence the pipe becomes offensiv ~ rank, and
the breath of the smok does not proclaim to every
one he meets that he has been "indulging in
pipe"
( When the bowl becomes clogged, or the drip be-
meath requires cleansing, the pipe may be taken
apart by removing the rim. The clay bowl may at
any time be restored to its original Whiteness by
burning in the fire, first drying it thoroughly
a new bowl may be procured of the dealer.
