TUESDAY EVEN'G, DECEMBER %.

Hon. James 4. Pearce, 7. S. Senator from
Maryland, died at his residence, III Ches-
certown, on Saturday, in the ffty-slzth year
of his age. Mr.. Pearce has been IN delicate
state Of health for some time, and Tor the last
TWO months suffered greatly from disease Of
the heart, His sickness was endured with
much patience and resignation, and he pass
ed away in great peace OF mind and with
the hope of blissful Immortality" The Balti-
more American says:-Mr. Pearce was born in
Alexandria, Virginia; though descended from
a Maryland family. He graduated at Prince
ton College with high honor and was bred to
the law, though he did not actively pursue
that profession. He entered public life as a
member Of the Maryland Legislature in 1881.
In 1886 he was elected as a Representative in
Congress and continued in that position, with
an interval of two years, till l843: In the lat,
ter year he was elected to the .. S. Senate, and
continued to serve as Senator until his death.
During the most part of his political life Mr..
Pearce was an earnest Wing Of the Henry
Clay school. When the Wing party ceased to
exist, he acted with the Democratic party, and
his last reelection to the Senate was by "a Dem
ocratic Legislature.

GENERAL BURNSIDE KEPOhI.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc,
Dec 19-lS62.

Cen. Il ". Hazzech, Gen. an Chief, 7. ). 4.
GENERAL I have the honor to otter the
following reasons for moving the Army OF the
Potomac across the Rappahannock sooner than
was anticipated by the President, Secretary
or yourself, and for crossing at point differ
ent from the one indicated by you at our last
meeting at the Presidents.
During my preparations for crossing at the
place I had first selected, | discovered that
the enemy had thrown large portion OF his
force down the river and elsewhere, thus weak
ening his defence in 'front.' and also thought /
discovered that he did not anticipate the cross
ing Of our whole force at Fredericksburg, and
[ hoped by rapidly throwing the whole COM
mand over at that place, to separate by Wig
orous attack the forces Of the enemy on the
river below from the forces behind and on the
crest in rear Of the town; IN which case We
could Eight him with great advantage in OUR
favor
To do this, we had to gain height on the
extreme right of the crest. which height COM
manded a new road lately made by the enemy
for purposes Of more rapid communication
along his lines; which point gained, bis po~
sition along the crest would have been scarce
ly tenable, and he could have been driven
from thence easily by an attack on his front in
connection with q movement ii rear OF the
crest. How near we came to accomplishing
our object, future reports will show.
But for the fog and unexpected and unavoid
able delay in building the bridges, which gave
the enemy twenty-four hours more to eoncen-
trate his force in bis strong positions, we
would almost certainly have succeeded IN which
case the battle would have been, in my opinion,
far more decisive that if we had crossed at the
place first selected.
AS it was, we came very near success. Fail
ing in accomplishing the main object, We re-
manned in order Of battle two days. long
enough to decide that the enemy would not
come out Of his strongholds to fight us with
his infantry After which we crossed to this
side Of the river unmolested and without the
loss Of men or property.
AS the day broke and long lines OF troops
were seen marching to their different positions
as if getting on parade, not the least demorali-
zation or disorganlzation existed
To the brave officers and soldiers who accom-
plished the feat Of thus recrossing in the face
Of the enemy, [ owe everything for the failure
in the attack am responsible; as the extreme
gallantry courage and endurance shown bv
them were never exceeded, and would have
carried the point had it been possible
10 the families and friends of the dead can
only offer my heartfelt sympathies; but for the
wounded can offer my heartfelt prayers for

The question Of the intermarliage Of deaf
mutes was the subject Of a paper recently read
before the French Academy of Sciences by DR..
Boudin who took the ground that the mfr
nifty is not hereditary. The parents ofdeaf
and dumb children, he Observed are generally
in perfect health and moreover deaf and damb
parents not connected with each other byties
of c.nsanguinity, very rarely have deaf and
dumb children.
The coal schooner Sarah Enge; ofp philadelphia:
is now undergoing repairs A few days since
she was struck by rifed cannon near Brandy
wine Hill, on the Rappahannook. The shot
passed through the roof of the cabin, and out
through side window, and then overheard
through the bulwarks, just clear Of the main
deck A remarkable incident is, that Capt 5,
<. Simmons. of the coal schooner 'Cadosh,
whose vessel was lying with the gunboats
near the Confederate battery had taken refuge
on board the Sarah Enge, and was on the
main deck, behind the cabin, in direct range Of
this shot, which killed him almost instantly,
whilst his own vessel came out without having
sustained any injury.
Mayor Opdyke, Of n Y, has shut down
on the issue of shinplasters by the Common
