side, viii be found in another col
umn. It is a publication highly cred
liable to that distinguished and gal
liant officer, and will strengthen the
public confidence in his patriotic de-
votion to the cause he has so earnest
ly espoused, and his capacity success
fully to prosecute the work commit
ted to his charge. The attack was
manifestly we'll planned, and that it
was not successful was doubtless ow-
ing to causes beyond his control and
which no ordinary foresight could
have prevented. He assumes the
entire responsibility of the move
ment, and in so doing administers an
appropriate rebuke to those who are
so ready, whenever a forward move
ment is followed by a reverse, to cry
out that the advance was premature,
and to endeavor to fasten the respon-
sibility for the failure upon the Pres
ident, the Secretary of War, Gener-
al Halleck, the radicals or anybody
else, rather than upon the General
in command. AS regards our East
ern army, the people of the country
desire to see General leading it
who will seek for and when found at
tack the enemy. This Gen. Burnside
has done; and all who havo their
country's interests at heart, while
lamenting his failure to achieve sue
cess, viii accord him credit for Wig
orous and well-directed effort to Sc
cure it.

THE NEWA

There has been no change 10 the position Of
Burn<ide's army since it recrosscd the Kappa
hammock or if there has been any, the public
are not advised of it. We give elsewhere the
official report of the battle. With other details,
TO which the reader is referred. The repulse
does not seem 10 have had the usual demoral-
z;ug and depressing effect on the men; the
army is represented Us 10 fne condition and
good spirits, and it is to be hoped we shall ere
long hear of another and more successful dem
onstration against the enemy.
Gen. Foster has been quite successful in his
movements against The rebel lines of commu-
nication in North Carolina His men have
fought admirably aud achieved results that
must seriously cripple the enemy in that re-
gion.
There is as yet nothing definite known in
reference to the Banks expedition, except that
il has been heard Of so far south as to leave
no doubt of its destination being the Gulf of
Mexico. Il will probably be heard of soon
as participating in al attack on Mobile. It is
infimated that on bis arrival at New Orleans
Gen. Banks will superUede Gen. Butler ia the
command Of that Department.
Affairs 10 the Departments of Sens. Rose
Grams and Grant seem TO be considerably mix
9as and Il is dificult 70 come to a satisfactory
conclusion as 10 prospects there. There is a
considerable amount of marching and counter
marching, taking Of places and relinquishing
them again by our forces. skirmishes with
small parties Of the enemy, &c. but nothing in
dlcaGiag a general advance or important bat
tIe as probable. The rebels are unusually &C
tive-again occupy Grenada ard Holly
Springs-have done large amount OF dam
age in tearing up rail roaI tracks upon which
our Generals depended for tho transportation
of troops and supplies-and il is said they are
again on the point Of making raid into Ken
lucky with view Of drawing our troops back
TO that State.
Nothing has lately been heard OF the much
talked of expedition of Gen. McClernand a
gainst Vieksburg. If the expedition is mov
ing, as announced some time since, IFS pro
gress is slow and but few of the details have
been made public.
Since the decisive victory achieved by oul
forces in North western Arkansas over the
rebels under Hindman, very little has beer
heard Of their operations in that region. The
battle referred 10 was one of Che most desper-
ately contested of the war-and never die
troops behave more calamity than did ours CT
that occasion. The rebels suffered terribly, tIlei
killed numbering near two thousand.
i The rebels claim 10 have reliable informa
zion that Charleston, Savannah aud Mobil
are all about TO be attacked.
Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1862-12-26

1t was supposed, from the fact that
IN thelate Fredericksburg battle the
rebles were protected by extensive
entertainments, their loss was light
compared with ours. It now seems
probable they suffered much more
seriously than the first accounts in
dicated. Gen. Lee, in his official re-
port Of the battle, admits a loss in
killed and wounded Of 1900, but the
Richmond papers published Tuesday
morning after the battle, speak Of
the arrival of over 1000 of their
wounded up to the previous evening,
with more on the way. Two of their
Brigadier Generals Cobb, of Geor-
gia, and Gregg, of South Carolina,)
were killed; and Major General Hat
ton, Of Tennessee, is reported NOR
tally wounded.

Cabinet changes have been the
absorbing topic at Washington the
past few days. 1t appears that i'll
consequence of a resolution passed
by caucus of the Republican Sen
ators, declaring the interests Of the
country required a reorganization
of the Cabinet, Mr.. Seward against
whom particularly it was understood
the resolution was intended to APP
plyO rendered his resignation. The
next day Secretary Chase followed
suit, and it was soon reported the
entire Cabinet had resigned. Sub
.sequent accounts show that no other
designations than the two mentioned
above were rendered, and they have
since been withdrawn, leaving the
Cabinet unchanged, for the present
at lcast?- 1t is understood that the
motive of Mr. Chase in offering his
resignation was to leave the Presi-
dent free and untramelied in form
ing a new Cabinet, the supposition
being that all the incumbcnts would
retire. Had there been a re-construc-
ton, he would doubtless have been
rendered q position-his able admin
istration of the Treasury Depart.
ment has elected the admiration and
approval Of the country-his servi
ces could not be dispensed with at
this critical juncture-and it would
be difficult if not impossible to fill
his place.

Paper Stock Fr,n WOOD.

An old paper manufacturer writes with great
confidence and enthusiasm Says the SpFigfcid
Republican, of new process for reductrg
wood TO paper pulp, which has been discovered
by Professor Chadbourne Of Williams and
Bowdoin Colleges. 1t depends npon comb
nation of chemical and mechanical principles,
by which the woody fbers are alike strengthen
e and separated from each other. The pro
cess is pronounced by practical paper makers,
and patent examiners as entirely uniquc, and
quite certain in results. II involves no change
of machinery, and no additional expense, cx-
cept for the pulp machine, which will cost from
fifty TO a hundred dollars. If no unforeseen DIFF
6culty arises in working it on a large scalo, If
will reduce the cost of paper pulp to less than
one half its present value, or to some forty or
fifty dollars ton. The invention is now in
the hands of one Of the largest and most encr-
getic paper manufactures in the country, a
patent has been applied for, and in due time
the full value of the process will he teste on Q
large scale,
