The forthcoming Report of the Committee

at Fredericksburg.


on the Conduct OF the War on the Battle
at Fredericksburg.
New YORK, Dec. %.
A Philadelphia paper publishes an account
oil the forthcoming report of the Committee
on the Conduct OF the War, from which it ap-
pears that Gen. Burnside's original plan was
to move suddenly to Fredericksburg, cross
there, open his base of supplies from Aqua
Creek. and push rapidly on 10 Richmond. He
expected to get thirty or forty miles south be-
fore the rebels came up, and if he gave him
battle, felt perfectly confident of his ability to
crush them and drive them into their works
at Richmond. He was promised pontoon
bridges and supplies at Falmouth Gen. Sum
ner reached there, but found no bridges or
supplies. This was the fatal omission that
saved the rebel army and capital 1t gave
them delay of ten days, in which the heights
opposite were fortified. Jackson and Hill ar
rived by forced marches, and every available
rebel soldier in Virginia reached Burnside's
front. AT last our army was ready to move.
Several plans were proposed. Gen. Burnside's
was TO carry the first line of rebel works by
storm, and then follow them so rapidly that
they could not make a stand behind the Others
when they were to be driven by the reserves
until forced to surrender. The plan was APP
proved by the leading generals, except Gen.
Hooker, who dissented, but agreed to Gen.
Halleck, who had previously issued orders
that the rebels must be attacked. Gen. Meigs
throws the blame of the non-arrival OF the
pontoons on the engineers, but Gen. Halleck
says they are In no way responsible for any
details regarding the movements.

ACTIVITY OF THE TUsCARoRA.-The Tuscarora
having been detained by the British authorities
twentyfour hours after the sailing of the Nash
vile from Southampton, her gallant command
er, Captain Craven, finding that pursuit under
such circumstances would be almost hopeless,
wisely directed his course to the Mediterranean
where he knew there was other game that
might be bagged. Accounts Of the depreda
tions of the Sumter in that sea had appeared
in the newspapers, and it was also stated that
she was lying in Gibraltar, whence she could
not depart, the British authorities having re-
fused to let her have coal, and the British mer-
chants having also declined to sell her any.
By our latest news from Europe we find that
the Tuscarora has her blockaded. close pri-
soner There she will probably remain till she
is sold to the citizens of some neutral govern
ment, and that will DO the last of the Sumter.

The PUBLICATION OF WAR NEws.-We per-
ceive that some of the Northwestern and North
eastern or New England journals continue to
publish information relating to army move
ments in violation of the recent order of Secre-
tary Stanton, which many of the country editors
do not seem to have yet properly compre-
hended. 1t stands to reason that the object
of the order in question will be defeated
If it is not equally respected by every journal
in the country. The press. it must be remem-
bered, is as much a part of the government as
any of the official departments at Washington,
and it is the duty of every newspaper to assist
in keeping secret every movement Of the
federal army the premature disclosure Of
which would be Of advantage to the rebels.
There is no reason for making public what
ought to bo kept secret. The public do not de-
sire such news, and nothing but harm can re-
suit from it. These are extraordinary times,
and, although interference with the press in any
less important crisis might be open to grave
objection, the restriction imposed is one which
all ought to unite in observing for the common
veal.
