EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
Washington, Dec. %, 1862.
10 The Army Of the Potomac:
have just received your Commanding Cen
erals preliminary report of the battle a, Fred
ericksburg. Although you were not successful,
the attempt was not an error, nor the failure
other than an accident. The courage with
which you, in an open field, maintained the con-
ties against an entrenched foe, and the consum-
mate skill and success with which you crossed
and recrossed the river, in the face Of the enemy
show that you possess all the qualities of a
great army, which will yet give victory to the
cause of the country and of popular govern
ment
Condoling with the mourners for the dead
and sympathizng with the severely wounded,
congratulate you that the number OF both is Sc
small.
tender to YOU, officers and soldiers, the
thanks of the nation.
(Signed) ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

A correspondent writing from the battlefield
of Fredericksburgh thus notices the conduct of
General Smith :-"General Bayard, whose body
is near me as am writing this, was killed about
ten feet from Gen. Smith, and about eleven
from where l stood. Orderly's horses were cut
to pieces their saddles and canteens flying in
the very teeth of Gen. Smith and staff, yet the
General would not move an inch 1t made his
staff shudder to look at him. wonder if Ner-
mont will ever know that she has such brave
son in the field? May God protect him and
the rest of her brave sons ~

al the answer that it could elicit.
"Tho fellow is fool" said the
Judge; ';let him 50 about his bust

the counsellor tapped his client on
the shoulder, saying, "Now, my good
