How Il Soldier in Washington Got
into the Fredericksburg Fight.

The Boston AdUe,tiSer gives the follow
ing extract from private letter, emitting
the name of the writer because it had not
his permission to print his letter. 1t shows
that there was one officer not disposed to
linger in Washington while his comrades
were perilling their lives, though his bust
ness was unfinished:
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, Va, Dec. Il, 1862.
Here we are again, safe and
sound Chat is, the balance of us) in our
own camp, and | presume you will like to
hear what part took in the proceedings.
l wa sent to Washington, as you know,
on business, and had not finished when I
heard that we were at work before Fred
ericksburg, and heard also that our brigade
was engaged. So | started on Saturday
morning at s O'Clock for Acquia Greek,
and left there at 9 p. NJ. for Falmouth, in
the cars. Hearing the heavy booming of
the guns ahead, was very impatient, as
you may imagine, to reach the station;
but, as ill-luck would have it, when about
five miles from Falmouth, the cars ran off
the track (hurting nobody, however), and
had then to start on foot with my valise.
ran about two miles, and becoming rather
used up, had to leave my baggage with the
driver of an army wagon, on the road;
then started again, and reached the pom
toOn bridges opposite Fredericksburg about
O'Clock, and there heard that our brigade
had crossed about twenty minutes before.
| rushed across, through the town, to the
battlefield, in front, where there was a
deafening roar of cannon and musketry
and bursting shells, the dead piled up in
every conceivable position, the wounded
screaming and grooming, the ground slip
perry with blood. ran from right to left,
asking every one for Grifin's brigade, one
directing me in one direction, another in an
opposite, and thought should never find
it, the bullets all the while whstling about
my ears, so that it seemed as if an immense
fly was buzzing in each of them | was
positive should never cross the field alive,
as it seemed to my inexperience as though
flea could not escape without losing some
feathers on both sides. The fire was so
heavy that most of the regiments were ly-
ing flat on their faces | saw five or six
regiments, however on the ''double quick

them. AS approached them I saw that
the SOD was the rear one, and a moment
after all fell fiat on their faces but "our
own," God bless it which continued to
advance, over the others, till it took the
very front on the brow of the hill, fired
volley, and then, in turn, laid low, the
murderous storm passing it. walked
up to Col. F.. who was safe and sound and
as cool as possible, and reported myself for
duty.

colors." The captain shortly after ordered
them to be hoisted. Away went the Stars
and Stripes, and almost at the same mo-
ment down went the British ensign, and
in its place appeared the full flag OF the
Contederates. A ten-pound shot right
across the bows astonished the captain,
who, after rapid survey through his
glass, exclaimed, cts that damned pirate
Semmes; the ship is lost" may only
add that few hours more and they were
all prisoners on board the Alabama, and
the last we saw of the Manchester the
succeeding night was a bright sheet of
fire in the horizon line as the darkness
fell. The prisoners we take are treated
as well as possible, though our having so
many hands on board prevents them all
from receiving what mi ht be considered
proper accommodation. Some are made
comfortable enough; but there are impu-
dent and insulting Yankees who are not
thankful even for their lives being spared,
and they must take the consequences.
Since we have come into these waters
we have got some splendid guns addition
al, and mounted; and, what with our own
crew and the brave volunteers who have
since joined us, we are now able to fight
as well as run, and both at the same time
if need be so. We have also plenty of
news about ourselves on board in the New
York Times and He7'0lU, the Shipping

Gen. Fosters Operations ia North
Carolina.

The operations of General Foster in
North Carolina, though not assuming the
importance that was expected, amounted
to as much evidently, as was possible un-
der the circumstances of defeat sustained
by General Burnside at Fredericksburg.
They were planned in conjunction with the
advance upon Richmond attempted by
Gen. Burnside, and, in themselves, they
were entirely successful. Had our army
succeeded in forcing the rebels from their
entertainments on the Rappahannock and
driven them towards Richmond, Gen. Eos
ter could undoubtedly have held Colds
boro after acquiring it, and probably have
OF rebel communication, harrassing them
greatly, and much increasing the peril of
their position. But the repulse Of Burn
side enabled the enemy to send reinforce
ments into North Carolina, against which
Gen. Foster could not maintain himself,
and was not expected to. He withdrew,
therefore, towards Newbern, after infiict-
ing enough damage upon the rebels to pay
for tho expedition. He fought four en-
gagements-the first at South West Greek,
a short distance East OF Kingston; the
second at Kingston the third at White
Hill, not far from Goldsboro; and the
fourth at Goldsboro-and in each of them
the enemy was badly whipped. At Colds
boro, he burned the very important bridge
over the Nelse river, and subsequently an
other one further south, at Monnt Olive.
He also tore up several miles Of the track
of the Wilmington and Weldon railroad,
and according to his report, put it in such
q condition that it's repair will take some
time. This road, running in almost a
straight line from Richmond to Whining
ton, carries probably nine-tenths of the
travel and freight which move between
South Carolina and Georgia and Virginia.
By the break at Goldsboro, the rebels will
be compelled to communicate with the
South by the roundabout way of Raleigh,
Salisbury, Charlotte and Columbia.

How ('INcINNATI GOT ITS NAME-A
foreign correspondent of the New York

England tells the following story:
4 E0n our steamer was very inquisitive
lady, who was necessarily asking of the
officers all sorts of questions, wise and
stupid, and among them was this: Why
is Cincinnati called CincinnatiT
This was hardly fair question to ask
of purely nautical man: bat 1t no way
disconnected the officer, to whom it was
addressed, who thus spoke:
"a good while ago, when Cincinnati
was a mere trading outpost, there lived
there we'll to do cid trader, Nathaniel
by name, Familiarity known as Natty.
The other colonists in the vicinity were
very fond of visiting at Natty's house,
and with pertinacity worthy of New
York sponge of 1868, they always stayed
to dinner. Natty, thinking to disgust
them, determined to have nothing for
dinner but salt pork, and offered them
this only for week; still they stayed
and ate, aud Natty found that he was
getting sick of the saline dish much
sooner than his guests. One day his
feelings got the better of his reverence
and he thus said grace"

The sponging diners were terribly shock
