Address to the Army.

We publish below the beautiful adj
dress of Gen. Lee to the army, after the
battle at Fredericksburg. The Com
manding General expresses the senti-
ments of the whole country:
HDo'Rs ARMY OF NORTHERN VA,
December 81, 1862.
GENERAL ORDERS No 1873.
The General Commanding takes this
occasion to express to the officers and
soldiers of the army, his high apF recia-
ton of the fortitude, valor, and devotion
dist layed by them, which, under the
blessings of Almighty God, have added
the victory of Fredericksburg to the long
list of their triumphs.
An arduous march performed with ce-
lerity under many and great dlsadvan-
taees, exhibited the discipline and spirit
of the troops, and their eagerness to con-
front the foe.
The immense army of the enemy com
pleted its preparation for the attack With
out interruption, and gave battle in its
own time, and on ground fits own seleo'
ton.
1t was encountered by less than twenty
thousand of this brave army, and its col
umns crushed and broken, hurled back
at every point with such fearful slaugh-
Ter, that escape from entire dest3action
became the boast Of those who had adj
vanced in full confidence of victory.
That this great result was achieved with
q loss small in point of numbers, only aug
ments the admiration with which the
Commanding General regards the prov
ess of the troops, and increases gratitude
to Him who hath given us the victory.
The war is not yet ended. The enemy
is still numerous and strong, and the
country demands of the army a renewal
of its heroic efforts in her behalf. Nobly
has it responded to her call in the past,
and she will never appeal in vain to Its
courage and patriotism.
The signal manifestations of Divine mer-
cy that have distinguished the eventful
and glorious campaign Of the year just
closing gives assurance Of hope that un'
der the guidance of the same Almighty
hand, the coming year will be no less
fruitful of events that will ensure the
safety, peace and happiness OF our below
ed country. and add new lustre to tine al
ready imperishable name of the Army o.
Northern Virginia.

Extraordinary Report.

Richmond, Jan. 1.-THE Washington
Republican Lincoln organ has remark
able article on mediation. The Republi-
can says it is proposed that Switzerland
shall mediate between the two sections,
and it thinks that there is reason in the
proposition, as Switzerland is an indie
pendent republic, and admits that medi.
alton will take place sooner or later, and
it would rather see Switzerland lead il
the movement than perfidious France or
damnable England.

la An engine and cars have been

that the interruption to the mails and

Herald's special, 10 p. m, says the ex-
element here regarding the reported At
tack on Charleston is intense. Navy and
War departments are still without official
sdvioss, but no doubt is entertained that
the attack has been made and the reeult
unfavorable to the rebels. The contin-
ued scarcity of rebel newspapers is regar-
ded as almost certain evidence that they
are in possession of news which confirms
that Charleston has fallen before the COM
bined attack Of Hunter and Dupont
Heretofore it has been the practice of
the rebels, whenever they have met with
success, to send nag Of truce across the
Rappahannock with copies of their pa
pers announcing the news. Besides this,
their pickets are very gloomy and decline
to converse at all upon the subject of the
attack upon Charleston,o or allow any cop
les of their papers to come across the riv-
er. The Navy Department is in hourly
expectation Of receiving informatation in
regard to the attack, which they know
was 70 have been commenced last Thurs.
