PHILADELPHIA, May G.-.The Washington Ctron-

man who left Falmouth early Monday morning
reports that early Sunday morning our batteries
on the left opened on rebel defences Of Freder-
icksburg which was replied to by the rebels, but
their fire gradually sackened. Some infantry
went forward under Sedgwick with their bayo-
nets fixed, and moved steadily until they reached
within one hundred yards Of the Falmouth's
famous stcnewall here they encountered II mur
dcrous fire of infantry, while gFnpe and canister

great was the havoc of the rebels that they aban-
doned their knapsacks and everything else. The
works were held all day without any desperate
efforts on part of the enemy to drive our forces

TO make an attack on our forces within the works
but we have high authority for the opinion ii
successful it will amount to nothing, as the main
fighting has been transferred to another point
and in the preparations which are now progress
ing we have to successfully complete. The oc-
cupation of fredericksburg is not of the slightest
consequence. Gen. Averill, with his cavalry
commenced reporting to Hooker, Sunday after
noon having been as far South as Rapidan sta
ton. They destroyed bridge on Alexandria
and drove Stuart out of Cupepper.
