The Battle of Fredericksburg.
from the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
'"The accounts Of the battle Of Saturday
which we have received are not full and accu-
rate, but they serve to show its severity and
the remarkable strength of the position held
by the Confederates. The Federal troops ap-
appear to have displayed the most persevering
courage but it was under circumstances where
full success was scarcely possible. On the left
where the natural and artificial obstacles were
less formidable, Gen. Franklin was successful
in repulsing superior numbers, but on the cen
tire of the Confederate works no impression
could be made, and the men fell there in q
fruitess effort The Federal loss in the day
fight, it is thought will not fall far short OF
ten thousand killed and wounded. The Con
federates doubtless also suffered heavily, but
not we presume, to SO great an extent as the
attacking force The impression at Washing
ton yesterday was that the battle will not
be resumed for several days, unless the Con-
federates bring it on General Burnside has
no doubt fully ascertalned the position and
strength Of the Confederate defences, and will
need time both to secure his own position and
to prepare for further operations.
On Wednesday last there was sklrmlsh be-
tween the gunboats on the Rappahannock and
a battery on the shore, in which one OF the
gunboats, the Teazer, was struck, and some
few on board of her killed and wounded. The
gunboat feet, at last accounts, was lying about
two miles below Port Royal.
Not many days ago meeting was held IN
Boston, and money subscrlo ed for the relief OF
the Lancashire suffering poor. One present
offered the use of the ship T. B. Wales, then
returning from voyage to Calcutta, to convey
the offerings of Boston to Liverpool The corn
and clothing were purchased, and awaited the
arrival of the shipT. B. Wales; but instead Of
her arrival came the news that she had been
burned by the Alabama.

THE ALABAMA.
New YORK, Dec. l6.-The Bark Rein

dates to the 30th ult.
She reports that she passed the Fmgate San
Jacinto off that port, and also that it was re-
ported at ST. Kits, on the Goth ult., that the
steamer Alaboma returned to Martinique, On
the Goth, and was loading with coal from d
British bark in that harbor
The Federal loss in the engagement on Sat,
urday at Fredericksburg, is estimated as high
as ten thousand killed and wounded, while it is
believed that the Confederate casualties will
not be SO heavy, owing to TIE protection afford
ed by their earthworks and other de1ences
Adyices from Port Royal speak of pro,
iected expedition against Hilton Head. Sew
eral vessels had coaled at Port Royal and pro-
ceoded South Two other steamers with
troops were seen off Edlsto The Confeder-
ates continued to fortify the country around
Charleston, where Beauregard is reported to
have forty thousand troops
Al Loudoun Heights opposite Harpers
Ferry, the Confederate cavalry, some three
hundred strong, made their appearance
on Sunday, and captured there about four
hundred sick and wounded soldiers and paro-
led them. They also captured some i. s.
government property.
Several skirmishes took place near Zuna, on
the Blackwater river, Virginia, on the llth
instant. For time the Federal troops were
successful, but were finally compelled to fall
back to Suffolk by the approach of heavy
body of troops from Petersburg.
