able superintendent of our 1.-THE NJ. @. h ~ and
the Memphis Branch railroad, has received from
TGennJohnston the appointment of superintendent
Of the Louisville and Nashville road, The lines
over which he thus has control extend from Bow

Nashville. This appointment is very honorable TO
Mr.. Fleece, since il was rendered to him, by Gen.
Johnston, from the latters observation of Mr. F's
excellent management of the road from here to
Bowling Green, He was highly complimented
thereupon, when he received the latter appoint

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAC,
Dec. lS-EUe'ang-Ye Yesterday the rebels sent
under flag of truce, request that We would
bury our dead. A burying party accordingly
went over and continued their labUrs to-day
During the truce colonel Walton, chief of Gen
Longstreet's artillery, Informed some Of our Of
Ulcers that the rebel infantry force engaged on
Gen. Summers front on Saturday was only Two
Drigades; but that they had large reserve near
by. He said our men exhibited the greatest
bravery; but he considered the rebel position i'm
pregnable, and that force of five hundred thou
sand men would find il impossible to carry the
heights in the face of their batteries.
The rebel loss was small compared with ours,
from the fact that they were protected by stone
wall and rifle pits. Our losses, as heretofore re-
ported, have been considerably decreased BY ar
rivals of stragglers in camp. The enemy took
nearly 500 prisoners from us, u considerable por-
ton If whom we're absent from their camps
when we evacuated the south side OF the river.
The prisoners taken on both sides have been pa
rolled. 1t is stated that Gems. Lee and LongStreet
came down to-day and held conversation with
some of our officers. The flag of truce was with
drawn TO night, after all our dead were buried.
HEADQUARTERS, Dec. 1S.-The Richmond
Dispatch of the 10Th says the rebel loss in Sat
urday's battle at Fredericksburg was $500.
Eleven hundred wounded had arrived at Rich
mond, and were on the way there on Monday
night. They lost Generals Gregg and Cobb and
many field officers The Sd South Carolina reg
iment was nearly annihated.
NEW YORK, Dec ia dispatch from lhe
army of the Potomac, dated Thursday, says
1900 Of our dead were buried Wednesday, and
AIS today. Nearly ali the dead were found
stripped of clothing and lying naked upon the
ground. From the official reports it is thought
the proportion of the killed and wounded in the
late battle is smaller than in any other battle

A FIGHT AT PLYMOUTH, N. c.
THE TOWN TAKEN AND BURNED.


ROANOKE ISLAND, N. c., Dec l4-The town
of Plymouth, N. c., was attacked on Wednesday
last by party of rebels, who entered about half
past four A. NJ surprising the garrison, and Civ
ing the gun6oat SouthtieId an exceeding warm
salute The party numbered about $50, consist
ing of infantry, artillery, and cavalry. They
drove our troops to the custom house, three
story brick building, aud opened upon them with
field guns, soon driving them fOm it and scat
:eriug them to all points. They then planted
their guns-three i'll number-upon the wharf,
and opened fire upon the Southtied at short
range. One of the first shots entered the steam
drum, which enveloped the steamer with Scald-
ing steam in an instant. Fortunately no one was
Injured by the accident; but the working of the
engine prevented, and all access to the mag
aziue was cut off. AS soon as the steam cleared
off fire was again opened on the rebels, but with
what effect is not known. 1t is said that several
rebels were killed and wounded, and carried off
by their friends.
During the engagement VIM. Armstrong,
sailor, had his right leg shot away, and death
has since ensued from amputation of the stump.
James Splarn, sailor, was shot in the leg by Il
cannon shot, but not dangerously wounded.
Several Others were slightly hurt.
The rebels occupied the town about an hour
and a half, and during that time they laid three
quarters Of it in ashes. Many Union families
were rendered hUuSeleSs by this barbarOus act.
The most lamentable occurrence of the day was
the shooting OF Mrs. Phelps, wife of John Phelps,
prominent Union man, whose house was rob-

$1,000 has been expended in repairs and re6tting
the boat for her further passage, and should we
be wrecked we shall at leart have chance to save
our lives In addition to new sails, the boat has
been provided with two hundred cork jackets, a
new lifeboat, pals, stairways, &C., and the boat
will go from this port in much better condition
than when she left New York. All this has been
done in consequence OF the departure of SO many
of the boats officers, and by the efforts of the
soldiers. Now that the boat has been put into

to be thorough navigator, and will command
