THE NEWS.

Our army still occupies It's position on
the north side Of the Rarpahanuock at.
Fredericksburg. No movement Of impor'
,snce has taken place since their retreat
to this side Of the river. The enemy was
Strengthening his position 10y pushing his
defensive works closer to the river. No
official account Of our loss has vet been
published. 1t is varously estimated at
FROM 10 to Is 600. Gen. Lees official re-
port Of tho battle puts down the rebel loss
at 1900 killed aud woun ded.
On the same day Of the battle at FredN
ericksburg the federal forces under Gen.
Foster captured Kingston, n. C., taking
some 500 prisoners and II pieces Of artil'
lery.
From the Southwest the news is again
becoming important. At last dates d
fight was going on at Corinth, between
the Confcderates under Forest, and the
Union troops under Gen. Dodge. Nash
vile is still threatened, and the corfeder'
ate forces are reported as very strong al
several points under Bragg, Breckinridg.
Price, Morgan, &c.
Vicksburg is again threatened, and thC
/, Confederstes are 5usily fortifying-thC
works exten ding eight miles to the reu
of the city, mounted with 70 guns auC
, 200 guns on the river front.

2ssg From all accounts, and for various
reasons, we are led 10 believe that oar ar
my Of the Potomac 49, just nov in worse
condition than II over was at any former
period We have no official reports and
the adv ices are OF the briefest and most
unsatisfac ory character. Every private,
and every line officer, is now beginning to
learn, what the General officers knew the
night before the fatal attack, that they
were ordered to mako the assSult-.not by
their officers then on the ground, - but by
the War Department and Cabinet up at
WashinGtou- aud their surmises natural>
" led them 10 suspect that that sacrifice
was not required OF them as military,
but political, necessity. With such
thoughts agitatlng their brave hearts -
and in view Of the bleaching bones Of
their dead companions, and within hear
ing Of the eXulting shouts OF their ui'
umphant enemy ,whs. may we not expect
Of them
Is it any wonder then, under such cir
cumstances, that their should be discord
confusion and disruption in tho Cabinet? {?
Where can the man now be found, whc

nation, and casting glance back over th'
events Of the last twenty months-car
find the least cause of hope Where anc
what are Ihe advantages we have gained
For our part We can see no hope. Al

gsy' The Post Master General has re-
scinded his outrageous order, excluding
certain Democratic Newspapers from the
mails. This is claimed by some OF the Alb
olition press as an act of great magnanim
ity ovards papers excluded. We are not
aware that an individual should be consid-
ed magnanimous for doing what justice
demands ofhm toward his fellow, much
less is it necessary to award praize to an
officer to do that which he is sworn to do
obey the law. He probably seeks ex'
