WHAT'S THE rs &T'FEG
yEgEEg asgTegNSrsSE1.

The Tory papers arc extremely anx-
ious to put the worst possible aspect on
Burnsieles recent evacuation Of Frede-
ricksburg, and the indications are already
apparent that the ill-success Of the 1T
tempt to storm the formidable. and per.
haps, impregnable entertainments OF the
enemy, are to be used rs au evidence of
unskilitul geueralship. while the tremen-
duous loss of life in that fatal adventure
is to be used to invoke the return Of the
safe and passive Mcclellan, a leader who
can always he trusted at least not to
lead our troops into danger.
And there will not be wanting pop
ular feeling Of encouragement to aid
this retrogressive policy,
We cannot share in this dependency.
We cannot see any rational grounds for
! it.
The highest military authorities cou-
firm the impression of the unprofessional
locker on. that the aggressive movements
of Burnsidcs, which resulted in the safe
crossing of the Rappahannock in face OF
an army nearly large as his own, was
one of the most brilliant feats of strategy
which the war has developed. This safe
retreat across the same river in face OF
the same enemy with an army which
had sustained losses, but no defeat and
no loss of morale, will be recorded as a
feat equally brilliant
We think we can rest securely then
npon the skill of the leader of the Army
Of the Potomac. What then is the mat
ter with Burnside! The matter is that
he did what the whole people called upon
him to do, what the Government, and
Congress, and the newspapers, and
Europe, and America called upon him
to do--he fought.
That is q way he has. He goes in to
fight. And we dare TO say here and
now that more was gained to the
National cause by that brave venture,
even with the terrible lose Of life and
limb which is the inevitable incident OF
vigorous war, than if the intermediate
time had been spent in dawdling and
engineering and ditch-digging on the
safe side Of the Rapphannock. What
VIC have gained is the proof that oul
soldiers have the mettls in them for the
tiercest struggles to which they may be
led and a General not afraid to take thu
risks of battle even when the chances are
against him. These facts proved we
have no such apprehension as is express
ed by the Chicago Tribune that orr army
may go iuto winter quarters. Not with
Bcrnsde at its head. His mission ia te
fight, and be will do it, His work j.
before him. If be cannot take the i'm
pregnabIe Notifications of the enemy in
front, he will take than in flank or ii
the rear; at any rate he will take them

Account of the late Battle.
THE CARNAGE AWFUL.

NEW YORK, Dec. II.
The correspondent of the Tribune
thus desc ribes the carnage of Saturday
1t is not using too strong an expression
to say that in this battle we were butch
cred. The loss of the enemy i'll compar.
ison with our own must have been
insignificant. More than half the division
of Gen. French were placed bore dn com
Jat, before they had fired shot
Having orders TO withhold their fire,
charge bayonets aud rush upon the en-.
trenchments. they anticipated no obstacle
until they should meet in hand to hand
fight Oh the crest the first range of hills.
But how little they knew the foe they
had to deal with. Lying close upon the
soft earth behind low stono wall and
half destroyed fence, which we had not
taken into our calculations as obstacles,
the enemy watched the approach Of
French uutil every man in line Of battle
came under aim Of the best sharpshooter
in the rebel army.
Iii an instant almost before the fence
itself was discovered to be an obstacle,
the smoke streamed above the fence end
wall, and the moment the first yolley
was fired, sixty pieces ofartillery charged
with grape and canister sent their infer.
nal contents straight through our advnn-
cling lines. raking them in front and upon
both TANKS.
Destruction so terrible never before
has been seen during the war. French
aent into the battle with 7, 900 men.
Two days after tho fight only l. 900
men had reported to bin.
The entire loss of the corps Of Couch,
consisting of the Divisions of Howard.
French and Hancock, and which on the
morning of the battle, contained forty
regiments. old and new. amounting to at
lease 20, 600 men, is now 10, 900. |
think the official reports will not very
from this estimate moro than 500 over
or under.
The losses in Reynolds corps of Frank
Inns grand division, which were at first
supposed to be but 2, 600 are now con-
sidered by some of franklin, staff fiji
GERS to be nearly 4, 600.
sEaI-oFFIcfAL STATEMENT OF LOSSES.
The following. based upon official re-
ports as far as made and upon estimates
of those who have tue best facilities for
judging. is as near correct as can be OBJ
taineb up 10 this time:
RIGHT GRAND DIVISION (sUMNER's,)
Second Corps. (Couch's.) Howard s
division, $50; Hancock's division, 3, 800:
French division, l, 900.
Ninth Corps. (Wilcox)-Stureis, d.
vision, ops; Getty's division, 400; Total
1906.
CENTRE GRAND DIVISION. (HooKERs)
Fifth Corps. (Butterfeld's) Hum

1900; Sykes division, $50; Total 1850.

REcApITULATIoN.
Total Right Granb Division. 1855
Total Centre Grand Division. 1850
Total Left Grand Division. $3.50

1t is believed that these figures will
fall under rather than exceed official
reports.
