has he been nearer than SO miles of that place
He also reports that Gen. Moulin, with i,500
cavalry, gained the enemy's rear, and captured
and destroyed IFS wagons belonging to their
ordnance train.
summary Of news:
What we at present know to have occurred
Is that the enemy crossing over the main body
OF their forces some miles above Fredericks-
burg, had formed line upon Gen. Lees left
portion of his army from and below Freder-
icksburg, had faced them in 3 line nearly at
right angles with the position hitherto occu.
pied by him. This afforded the enemy an op-
portunity to send a cavalry force to their rear
and right to cut the Central Railroad.

The storm that commenced on Monday even

its height yesterday, evidently warned Gene
raj Hooker-whose movement was necessarily
made with only eight days supplies, carried
by the men (Which were then nearly con-
sumed), and without trains-of the imminent
danger, that unless he promptly sought his
camps the elements would put stop to his
operations; the railroad communication with
Aqua Greek having been destroyed by the
floods for twelve hours ut Brooks Station be-

In the course Of all the fighting throughout
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, the
enemy had not yentured general engagement
with his army, only portion of which was in
action at any one time; and on no occasion
with as great loss as he inflicted upon the
rebels. Nevertheless, as 1t became evident that

remained on the south side OF the ri yer awaiting
an opportunity to induce the enemy to risk a
general engagement, he evidently had left him
but the only alternative Of returning, for the
time being, to where his supplies could readily
reach him.

officer, on whose person was found fresh des-

OPERA-Martha was given to q very fash.

and had it not been for the terrible rain the
theater would have been crowded. Madame
Cordier, as usual, was extremely pleasing as
Mortha, and was encored in the "Last Rose of
Summer" which electrified the audience
Morensi was also very good Nancy Brigno-
lis voice showed to advantage in the solos of
the first act, less after that tenor with less
voice and more action would have been more
satisfactory. Susini and Barili were not as ef-
tective as usual. The quintet, in the third
act, the main gem of the opera, was finely rem
dered The dresses of the tenor and basso were
not well chosen, and evidently belonged to
AaSsaniello or Lucrestd, but not to Martha. The
second horn was missing IN the orchestra
which was great defect in the performance
Of the overture and quintet. The choruses
were well sung. The opera, by itself, is so
pleasing, that the audience were kept in con.
stant enthusiasm.

THE HISTORY OF SEDGWICK'S
MOVEMENTS.
A BLOODY FIGHT AND HEAVY
LOSS ON HIS PART.
HE RE-CROSSES THE RIVER ON
MONDAY NIGHT,
The Confederates play upon him
their old game Of massing their
forces on our exposed points.

Gen. Sedgwick, it will be recollected, crossed
his force on Saturday night last about two
miles below Fredericksburg, and held them
massed on the plain in his immediate front
until daylight on Sunday morning, when he
took possession Of the town with little resis-
tance. Throughout Sunday forenoon, until II
q. m., the firing Of the tremendous battle in
which Hooker was engaged, seemed to occupy
the attention Of all under Sedgwick, and inst
as that fight ceased, q portion Of SIS force-two
Pennsylvania regiments, one New York regi.
ment and the 9Th Maine, advanced against the
enemy's works At the left, and stormed them
amid heavy artillery fire from them, the last
gun being fred just as one Of our men hoisted
tho Stars and Stripes over them. Here 1t was
that S. took tho famous Washington battery,
which he got OF safely to the ether side Of the
river.
He next took the rest Of the works-to the
rightly flank movement; Gibbons di vision,
that had crossed Immediately in front Of the
town, calamity aiding him by storming those
(works) Immediately In the rear Of the town.
"
enemy in them that could not escape, Sedgwick
soon massed his main force in the direction Of
Chancellorsville, and remained for the night
formed in line Of battle with his right resting
at point about six or seven miles from
Hooker's force.
Before daylight on Monday morning the
enemy came back and re-occupied the works
which Sedgwick had left when proceeding to
attempt to join Hooker, and light also discov-
cred them massed heavily on the hills to the
left and upon his front; their total force there
aggregated being apparently between $1,000 and
10000 men. Thus they were not only on his
left flank and front, but in the werks between
him and Gibbon.
Everything was comparatively quiet until
about 4 p. m. whea the rebels attacked from
the left, and were replied to bysA single section
Of artillery immediately in front Of where they
attacked. As their infantry moved up, Sedg.
wick's artillery opeEed from all quarters, bat
could not check their slow and steady advanc
under which Sedgwick gradually fell back q
mile and half towards Banks Ford. This
was the main engagement OF Monday afternoon.
and lasted NATL p. m. In Il oar loss was
about 1000 killed, wounded and missing, ma
ktng the sptaI loss Of Sedgwicke and Gibbons
