Without needless repetition of what We have
already published, aud without attempting to
supply any deficiency in our present iulorma-
tiOn with tanCicS, we will state that the enemy
commenced crossing at fredericksburg, and
diminishing there, on Wednesday morning (;
that il soon became perfectly apparent that the
strength Of RoOker's attack was invested in a
flank movement, designed to turn our left and
gain our rear; that Gen. Lee responded N this
new line Of approach Of the enemy. and met
him in the vicinity Of Chancrlorsviue, ten
miles northwest OF Fredericksburg.
On Friday evening heavy skirmishing com
1aenced, resulting in driving the enemy back
for several miles. On Saturday the battle com
mcnccd early. We learn from Gen. Lees dis
patch that Gen. Jackson on that day manGuyr
ed so as 10 gain The rear Of Hooker, while two OF
LOngstFeet's divisions "pegged aWavv at him
in front. Thus caught between the upper and
the neither milestone, the enemy suffered very
severely, as may well be imagined. Five thou.
sand prisoners are represented as having been
taken on that day, besides an enormous list Of
killed and wounded. Hooker's army, driven
10y jackson, were pressed down from the
Wilderness ~ near Charlottesville, (rnur
miles, VIXEN night brought it, truce. Tie nest
morning Sunday the battle was resumed.
Hooker was driven irCm all his positions, aud
made tor the river by his flank. Here he was
crossing at last accounts with on yirlnriots
army pressing upon his heels. OF the disaslcr
which attended his crossing under such circum
stances II would be mere speculation for u I,
speak. We wait for the news.
