LATEST, NEWS.

We have delayed our paper until the
last moment, in expectation of important
news from the Seat of War The report
on Monday was that great battle was
in progress at fredericksburg At this
time, all we can learn is that portion of
the army has been engaged with the en-
envy, and that while Sumner, on the GEN.
ire, had failed to drive the enemy, and
had fallen back Franklin, on the left, had
driven the rebels before him for one mile,
and held the ground The indications are
not as favorable as we had hoped
There is rumor in circulation that our
army had fallen back across the Kappa
hammock, but with how much truth we are
unable to say
Banks has landed his division, and is
reported at Weldon, which places him in
good p sition to attack Richmond
we shall probably have important news
soon.

Sad Accident.

Our town was excited greatly last Sat-
urday, at the terrible news of an accident
having befallen a young man residing 3
miles west Of the town of Dodgeville, re
sulting in the almost instantaneous q cath
of the sufferer The facts as far as we
can ascertain from inquiry, are as fol-
lows:
William Cornish, young man resid-
lug some three miles west of Dodgeville
left his residence last Saturday, in cempa,
ny with Mr. Cornish his father, Mr.. John
Simpson and Mr.. Dunstan, for the purpose
of hunting game Having proceeded to
settlement some five or six miles south
east of the town of Ridgeway, the place
designed for the hunting expedition, they
parted from each other, each taking the
way he thought best Having been part-
ted from each other about one quarter of
an hour, Mr. Simpson heard the report Of
a gun coming from the direction that the
above named VIM Cornish had taken
Following it up, he found the corpse of
VIM. Cornish lying on his back with his
gun lying ever his shoulder. The shoto
ball which had evidently caused his death
entered behind his right ear and passed
through his head The body was inferred
in our grave yard last Monday, when
large number of weeping friends followed
him to his last resting place.
This young man is abour Ia or 20years
of age and leaves wife and one child -

AT quarter past nine the first gun was
tred-the engagement lasting half an hour
the rebels not making a very spirited re-
ply,
1t is thought the troops will all be over
at ncon Information received during the
Fight and this morning b. deserters and
prisoners, shows that the rebels have too
strong lines of batteries in the rear of the
city; the first one being one mile back,
and the second a mile from the first
Our whole army is in rapid motion and
well concentrated The troops are in ex-
cellent spirit, and anxious to be led on
the enemy works.
The enemy has concentrated his for
ces, and it is believed viii give battle.
Much will depend upon the result Of
to day. All feel sanguine of success
At 10 o clock this morning the fog began
to clear away, but before ii o clock the
ar was again thick, which continued I'M
tai 2 o clock, when it emit ely disappeared
At quarter past the rebels opened
with all their guns posted on the first
ridge Of hills. Their main fire was direc-
ted upon the city, which was filed with
our troops. Those guns which were post
ed on the left of the ridge were opened on
the large body of troops which crossed on
luc TWO lower bridges an Hdu ioTineu ia
line OF battle and were moving obliquely
down the river, fronting the Mattapony-
Although several OF their shells explo-
ded over our troops, none were injured.
Gen Bayards cavalry, which crossed on
the lower bridge, had five men killed
while endeavoring to ascertain the enc
mys position.
The troops which crossed below are
sleeping on their arms tonight, the ad-
vance being within three-quarters of a
mile of the Mattapony Greek, their left
resting on the Rappahannock.
The enemy occupies the opposite side
Of the creek in force.
The guns posted on the bank this side
of tie river silenced the enemy's artillery
after a duel of half an hour. Tbs ended
the firing for the day Tie only damage
done by the rebel shells thrown into the
city, was to add SO much to its destruc-
! ton
Twenty-Five of our men were killed last
night in the streets while driving the reb-
els out. Nearly every house in the city
has been damaged more or less by the
firing of the past few days.
Several splendid residences have been
completely riddled, as also the churches.
The fire appeared to be directed on the
most prominent of the edifces.
