Con. burnside wa, attacked oil Sunday last,
beat of the enemy ll:cr a haid fight, ard still
holds Knoxville iuhcybly. He did not capture
Whcelcr's division OF 900 cavalry a, previously
rcporicd-but credited by no sane man-ria
Cincinnati, for the sufficient reason that they
were not engaged in the assault. Nor 10 We
rcrolrct any recent occasion, unless Philadcl-
pha may have favored Ms, in which cavalry has
been employed against Qualifications. But Gen.
Burnside WAS completely victorious. The very
determined effort of the enemy cost them 100
killed, l3i prisoners, aud abou, 100 wounded,
against which we have to offset loss on our
side Of less than % all told. Longslrccl was
allowed truce 10 bury his dead and his
wounded were sent into his lines. All was
quiet next day.
Assured that Burnside was safe 80 late as Mon
day, we see no reason 10 doubt that he will hold
ont till Wlcox or Granger reaches him. The
siege was 4 fortnight old on Monday. Long
Streets hope of carrying Knoxville by sudden
dash lad been utterly disappointed. lie bad
been driven to undertake regular siege opera
tons, and these eliminated for the time in Sun
DAYS assault. There can be- no doubt that that
assault was delivered on the reception of the
news Of Bragg defeat. Longslreet then knew
that no time was left him to continue and
complete bis investment Of knoxylllc-kncw
that he was in hourly danger Of being cut oil
from Bragg, and of being himself attacked in
rcar-knew that the bayonct was his only
chance Of getting Knoxville and securing his
own retreat. 20 the Rebels stormcd in upon
Burnside carly Sunday momns-ard did not
take Knoxville. Their heavy loss is enough 10
indicate that they made the attempt in force;
put all The men to the work that could be used.
Beaten, they must give over the siege unless
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1863-12-04

they mean to try once more what thcy nave
lust failed to accomplish.
On the whole, therefore, and for the first
time. we incline to believe Burnside's position
secure. Wilcox cannot be far. Granger must
be within, at most, three days march Ere this
it is likely LongStrect has abandoned the siege
and is making what haste he can into Virginia
He may or may not have renewed his Assault
but in any case there is nothing to indicate
likelihood of his success.
The country ought to recognize the gallantfy
of Burnsidc's defense, and indeed to award high
praise for his whole campaign in East Tennes'
see. We have no general who could have done
better. II is The fashion with COppcrhead and
some other journals, to abuse General Burnside
because of the yallandgham arrest, and they
have very Indignantly and persistcntly endeay'
ored TO blackcn his military reputation. Cen
Burnside is now entitled to the more generous
credit for recent As well rs past services.

And so, like other tyrants, they rush TO the
ultima ratio of war, and propose to make good
by bloodshcd what they cannot make good by
Biblical commentary. Thus the issue is made
up. as il should long before have been, and we
come at last to understand that Freedom has
work for the soldier as well as the singer, and
needs our battlc.Sogans more than our pretty
rhythmic hymns. This hard schooling can
scarcely be regarded as misfortune, unless
come lamentable concurrence of events seduceS
us from our fidelity to truth and our traditions.
The nation never so much as now needed to feel
the priceless value OF Human Freedom-the
nefabc iniquity of denying it to the least OF
Gods creatures-thc incstimable Importance to
the future of working wisely for Liberty i'll
the present the countless hopes oil
mankind which are now in jeopardy. The
world has gone wrctchcdly backward once, and
it mag do so again. 1t may overlap the dlyld-
ing lines of Fcudality, and tumble into its prm-
tive barbarsm. The race has reached point
at which it is absurd to expect it to pause--in-
fnitely better must be, or infinitely worse. We
have placed over the cdilice in which our laws
are to be enacted the eifgy of Freedom. We
put it there, with no Slave crouching at the feet
Of the brave figure, to indicate any deceitiui
reservation. We have put it there in token
of our acknowledgment that, in the sight
of Justice, no man is born a Master, and no
man born Slave. May it tell that beautiful
truth to many generations, and attest to our de-
sccndant, that our hands were not afraid 10
obey the promptings of our minds and hearts.
