Nobody can tell where Gen. Banks has gone.
Many feel that he ought to be in Virginia, or
somewhere, menacing Richmond The belief
that he would go up James river or up the Nan
semond to Suffolk, or up towards Weldon and
Petersburg, by way of Albemarle sound, has
been SO strong in many minds, that they can not
easily give it up. They ask earnestly, Why not
employ our whole available military force at the
east to crush the rebellion in Virginia? But Gen.
Banks has not gone either to Virginia or North
Carolina. 1t was reported, yesterday, that the
Banks expedition had landed at Winton in
North Carolina; but this was mistake. A con-
siderable force that left New York before Gen.
Banks started has undoubtedly landed some
where on the north side of the Chowan river
but he is not there. Another report said he had
landed at Harrison's landing, but this is contra
dicted. We should rejoice 10 hear of him near
Weldon or Petersburg; but It's now evident that
he has gone much further south; perhaps to Mo-
bile, and perhaps somewhere else We must
wait and see. The rebels will probably give us
the first report of his operations

In Boston, the residents of ward six have re.

silver. Ward nine returns 10000 ounces.
Tn re are many historic associations connect
ed with the old North Eud OF Boston. The town
in 1904, contained about 10000 inhabitants; in
ITO about 10000. The population was then
mostly concentrated at the nerth part of the
town, and there were the residences of the most
wealthy and aristocratic part Of the population.
Here Fisher Ames, Gov. Bowdoin and Gov
Hutchinson lived. The aspect in that locality
does not remind much of historic associations ut
present.

guns would likely cause the destruction of Fred

have been captured since our army crossed the
river.
There was considerable firing yesterday between
advanced troops of the two armies. At one time
the rebels showed disposition 10 move on Gen
Franklin'S forces Occasionally the rebels would
throw a few shells among our troops to remind
us that they were still there. With these excep-

tillery firing. The body of General Bayard left

There is nothing new from fredericksburg;
but there are Indications that Gen. Burnside,
having explored the enemy's position and learn
ed exactly what he has to do, has prepared for
an attack upon it that will be overwhelming.
Gen. Sigel, with force said to be fifty thousand
strong, has approached the battle field to look
after the left wing of the rebel army; and
large reiDforcements have gone down from
Washington. When everything is in read
mess, there will be another attack that means
victory, and SO directed as TO make it certain.
What has been done already is only preliminary
TO the great battle in which the whole force at
Burnside's command will be employed. When
the struggle is rnewed, Sigel, Wadsworth, and
Hooker will take part in it; and the result will
probably decide the fate of the rebellion. This
battle will not be delayed much longer; and we
m ay expect 10 hear soon thatit has been fought

The MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENTS - The
troops from Massachusetts engaged in the fight
ing of last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, were
the thirteenth, fifteenth nineteenth twentieth,
twenty. FIRST thirty second, and thirty-fifth regi-
ments. The returns of their losses are still very
imperfect. There is almost nothing yet heard
from the fifteenth-very little from the twenty
first. We publish all the names of the wounded
in these regiments which have been reported
The nineteenth and twentieth regiments were
most exposed, and fought with splendid gal
lantry and courage. Their losses were heavy,
and their killed and wounded were taken from
the flower of the young men of the common
wealth In the brilliant Sortie by which Freder-
icksburg was captured they bore conspicuous
part-the nineteenth, assisted by the Michigan
boys, dislodging the rebel sharpshooers from
the houses commanding the pontoon bridge.
while the twentieth marched up from the bank
into the main street running parallel with the
river. The streets were deserted, but they re.
ceived murderous fire from the houses, losing
seventeen killed and eighty-one wounded out OF
three hundred men. The nineteenth also lost
heavily.

GEN. GEORGE ID. BAYARD.-The gallant cav
airy officer of Burnsde's army, killed in the bat
tie of Saturday last, was native of New York,
and one of the most spirited aud dashng of the
younger school of our militsry officers. His
brilliant dash upon Evansville, in November,
1861, and his exploits in the Shenandoah Valley
during the past few weeks, will now be remem-
bered with freshened interest, since he has so
early paid the cost of bis courage. Gen. Bayard,
says one of the dispatches, was to have been
married on the 18th inst. to daughter of Col
Bowman OF West Point-a marriage that had
been already twice postponed on account of the
exigencies of the service. He died in the full
anti-slavery faith, converted on many fields of
battle.
