Reliable information has reached the
city this afternoon from the Army of
the Potomac, going to show that ter
rible engagement has been going on
yesterday and to-day.
The brilliant maneuvre by which the
rebels have been hanked on both sides
has been followed up by daring con-
fiict, in which our troops have been ex-
tremely successful.
During the whole of Saturday the
musketry and artillery firing was abso-
lutely continuous, especially on the
right, where Towards corps was en-
gagged.
Between midnight and three o'clock
this morning, Sunday, pontoon bridge
was laid between Falmouth and Fred
ericksburg, and our troops, part of the
sixth corps, marched over and took
possession of the town, driving out the
enemy. They then advanced to. the
Notifications upon the slopes in exactly
the direction of the move by Burnside.

reached the top of the hill.
The enemy had left this post exposed,
not expecting an attack here. His

where the conflict was already raging
Our troops are behaving splendidly
and are worthy # their leaders. Not a

The battle did not close until nea
midnight. During the night, Gen
Hooker changed his lines, reforme,

next day. The fight began at fv
O'Clock, and lasted six hours. At tn
end of that time Gen. Hooker held
very strong position, and felt perfeetl,
