REPORT OF GEN. HALLECK
He Holds Burnside Responsible for his
Failure at Frederic sburg. =,


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE report Of the
General in-Ghief is very lengthy docu-.
ment, mainly summary of military opera
tions since his last annual report. Refer
ring to the department of the Potomac, the
General says Burnside proposed a change
of base not offered by him, Burnside there
fore consented to cross his army by lords
of the upper Rappahannock and then move
down to seize the heights of Fredericksburg
while small force was to be sent north
of the river to enable Houpt to reopen the
railroad This plan was acceded to but not
approved Burnside instead of crossing
the Rappshannock by fords as ne was ex-
pected to do, marched his whole army down
to the north bank of that river. Lees army
in the meantime moved down to the south
bank of the river, at this time fordable a
few miles above town Sumner asked per
mission to cross and occupy the heights
but was refused and no attempt was made
to effect passage till Dec. 18th, by which
time Lees army had been Concentrated
The alleged defeat which we suffered soon
after resulted from neglect to forward
pontoon train from Washington, where
the pontoons at that time were at Berlin
In the army of the Potomac the delay there
fore, was unavoidable, and on investigation
of matters, Burnside pronouncedit SO. .
Speaking of affairs in Grants department.
the General saws it has been alleged that
Grant positively disobeyed instructions of
of his superiors.
1t is hardly necessary to say that Grant
never disoboyed an order. He has never
comploined that the Government did not
furnish him all the means and assistance in
its power to facilitate the execution of any
plan he saw fit to adopt The General sug-
gests that as the rebel army lives on the
country through which it passes the fede-
rtls do the same as it facilitates the rapid
ty of movements. Our commanders in the
rebel States hardly ever find supplies, and
in the border States it is difficult to tell be-
tween friends and enemies in regard to the
suffers.
He says the abolition of thesystem would
rid the army of the encumbrance of suit
tiers Wagons on the march, and the nui-
sance of suffers stalls and booths in camp;
it would improve the efficiency of troops
in many ways, particularly by removing the
evils of drunkenness from camps. tits not
difficult for suffers to act as spies, inform
ers, smugglers and contraband traders.
The General thinks Court-martial too
cumbrous proceeding for battle fields and
suggests some more speedy mode of pun
ishment. He suggests that the Inpsctor
Generals Department be merged into the
Adj't Generals Department. He recon-
mends several reiormations in relation to
the organization of regiments, brigades and
corps. He claims the cartrel for the ex-
change Of prisoners has been violated in
relation to colored soldiers.

AHARp Casa soldier by the name of
John Sanders, alias John Watson, and any
amount of aliases, deserter, was nicely
caught on last Wednesday in Columbus
He was member of the 82d regt. .. V. l.,
and along with Others was about receiving
hi. pay and bounty, when he was recogni-
zed BY an officer and arrested as deserter.
He at first denied it, but finding that he
was known, acknowledged the corn. Upon
investigation, it was found that he had en-
listed no less than six times and had went
once as a substitute. He had received
bounties each time he had enlisted, and as
a substitute he had received seven hundred
dollars, and after joining the regiment he
stole six hundred dollars from his Colonel
and deserted He is now closely confined
and will be sent to his regiment for trial,
which will DO doubt result in being shot
Such is the fate of dishonest and coward

TIE CREEK BRIDaE.-Now that the
Creek bridge is closed, the people Of both
sections of the city experience the incon-
venience of walking several squares to cross
this stream. Before the bridge was erect
cd. our citizens did not think much about
the walk, but so accustomed have they be-
come to the little suspepension bridge, that
when they reach the creek they feel almost
like climbing over the obstruction, and
walking over the dilapidated structure, even
should it jeopardize their lives.
The bridge now stands closed, and thus
rendered impossible, IN onument OF the
short-sightedness of the city authorities.
This temporary bridge has cost the city
nearly as much for repair as would build
new and permanent structure. 1t is said
this tottering vestige will again be repaired
at a cost of $500 or S800-and permit
ted to stand, as it were, to taunt our peo-
pie who are obliged to cross it. Should this
be done, the bridge will swing around Tor
year or two and then iother appropriation
for repairs will be called for.
1t is evident that the population OF the
lower portion of the city is rapidly increas-
ing, and that the business of both sections
of the city require good, permanent
bridge over the creek between Market and
Chapline streets. We see no reason why a
structure could not be erected that would
permit horses and wagons to pass over. 1t
would cost but little more, and at the same
time be an accommodation to all classes
We trust this matter will receive the at
tention it demands Action cannot be tax
en- too promptly.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LAST Monday, Gen. AvERILL left New
Greek with about 1000 Cavalry, with twen-
ty days rations, for scout up the Valley.
On the same day Gen, SULLIVAN left Harper's
Ferry with the whole of the First Brigade,
including two companies of Infantry, near
$500 Cavalry, and some artillery; and q
small force started from Martinsbnrg, at
the same time, all in the same direction.
The rebel Gen. IMBoDEN is supposed to
be up the Valley somewhere with not more
than from 300 to 400 men--and even that
small number is reported to be growing less
every day, as deserters to the number of Is
to 1oarrive daily in our camps, all telling the
same story as to the number of IMBoDEN's
force and its constant depletion from de-
sortioD. Gen JONES is with IMBoDEN.-
GILMORE has left him, and, with his COM
mand, has crossed the Ridge to the south
east, and is now up above Front Royal
Gen. WIN JACKSON is "bobbin' around" in
the Valley or Mountains to the south west
of Winchester. <S'.t
On Thursday, rumors reached Harper's
Ferry and New Greek that Gen. AvERILL
had come upon IMBoDEN, on Wednesday,
some place between Strausburg and Wood
stock, when quite lively skirmish took
place. We could hear no particulars ex-
cept that AvERILL is reported to have de
feated the enemy, and was still driving
him back towards W oodstock. t'
1t is also reported that the troops in the
Kanawha region have also gone on scout
ing excursion-acting in concert with Gen.
AvERILb, all probably, directing their steps
ON Stanton. 1t is thought that from the
weakness of the rebel force now in the
Valley, the exps lition could move on Staun-
ton without any serious opposition, and cut
important railroads in that vicinity.
We give the above rumors for what they
are worth, after stating that much of the In
formation therein contained is gathered
from an intelligent and reliable source.
