HEADQUARTERS OF THE RIGHr GRAKp)
DTvDIoE, Dec. 9Th, 10 a. m.
Owing to the greatly diminished length and
breadth ofcamp fires visible, night before last
the impression is prevalent that the enemy had
falleu back to new position, some distance to
rear of their former line. The dense columns Of
smoke seen last night on the opposite side above
the bills, overlooking Fredericksburgh, and
seemed to extend for miles in western diree-
ton, demonstrated that the presumed retrogade
movement, If made at al was meant only to
bring them under better shelter. Apparent fact.
of continued presence great body Of the rebel
army in front of the Right Grand Division, can
be but gratifying to Burnside, for reasons that
will be developed in few days. It is presum-
ed that Stonewall Jackson with his force has
taken a postion on the extreme left.

Union Victories.

The recent trumphs Of the Union arms at
Somerset, KY, and Fort Henry, on the Tennes-
see river, throw gleam of hope upon the hith-
erto gloomy prospect of the war. These sue
eesses, however, must soon be followed ur by
movements on larger scale, If we are TO en-
terrain any reasonable expectations Of speedy
suppression of The rebellion. A decisive vicio-
ry must be won before the 18th OF April next,
IT we would prevent the intervention of for
sign powers. Al any rate, il is time that our
army should do something effective, and whilst
we have entire confidence in the military abl-
ity OF our commanding generals, we think there
rs "screw loose" somewhere that prevents
more speedy action. Is it in the Cabinet, or
are the contractors still in the way! We shall
see by and bv.
