The assault was executed with great gal
lantry under very severe fire that cost
Sedgwick thousand men: and the Con
federates made savage hand-to-hand fight
on the crest and over the guns
AS, simultaneous with these events,
Howe's Division on the left carried the
crest below Fredericksburg, capturing a
number of prisoners and five guns, the
whole ridge was now in Sedgwlcks pos

Such was the startling intelligence that,
in the climax of his triumph. reached Gen.
Lee, who suddenly found himself sum
noned to meet this new and unexpected
menace The course adopted by Lee in
this emergency was precisely the course
prescribed by the highest principles
of war-the principles on which Casar.

1t was toward midnight of Saturday
when Sedgwick received his orders to move
through Fredericksburg and proceed to-
ward charlottesville to unite with the
main body. This command found him
holding his position on the south bank of
the Rappahannock, three miles below Fred
ericksburg. He Immediately put his corps
in motion by the flank, and proceeded to
the town. skirmishing sharply with the
| force falling back slowly. { AZ Some hours
| before dawn of Sunday, Sedgwick occu-
| pied Fredericksburg, but a small force
| thrown forward before daylight to seize the
enemys works behind the town was imme-
diately repulsed. Gibbons Division of
COuch's Corps, which had been holding
Falmouth, then crossed to join him.
For the defense of Fredericksburg, Gen.
Lee had left behind Early's Division of
four brigades and Barksdale's Brigade of
McLaws's Division. (45) Barksdale occu-
pied the nights Immediately in rear of the
town, including Marye's Hill and the stone
wall at its base, famous i'm the story of
Burnside's attack. Early's own division
held the Confederate right below the town.
Three companies of the Washington Artil-
lery occupied the crest, and as soon rs
Sedgwicks movement was disclosed. on
Sunday morning, Early sent Iayss Bri-
gade to reinforce Barksdale As it had
required scarcely more than this force to
repulSe Burnsides successive columns of
attack on the-13ih of December, Barksdale
had probably little doubt of his ability to
give like reception to those now threaten
ing assault.
Sedgwicks first efforts were of a tpnta-
tive nature. Howe's Division, occupying
the left of his line, made an effort against
the Confederate right with a view to turn
the nights. 1t had no serious character,
however, and was not successful. (4G) Glib

then essayed to move round the left of the
Confederate position; but this was foiled
by the canal covering that entire flank. A
partial attack in front was not more sue
cessful. Every action has these periods
OF prelude. from which the proper course
at length discloses itself. That which now
presented itself as best suited to the cir
cumstances. and promising the best re-
suits, was to form powerful assaulting
column and carry Marye's flights by
storm.
EARLY ROUTED BY sEDGwICK.
The preliminary endeavors and the prep
aratiOns for attack had consumed consiI-
erable time. and it was toward IL o'clock
when it began. Two columns were formed
from NewtOn's Division-the right column
OF four regiments and the left column of
two regiments-and on the left of this a
line of battle of four regiments was thrown
| out. The columns moved on the plank
| road and to the right of it directly up
the nights. The line of battle advanced
on the left of the road on the double-quick
against the rife-pits. neither halting nor

enemy from their lower line of works alono

PHoNoGRAPH FOR COURT USE
It May be Only Story. But Would Not
be a Bad idea After All

The presence of a photograph with
reproducing attachment and an i'm
mense horn, in the room used by the
third department of the supreme court
commission, Friday morning, says an
exchange, is responsible for the rumor
that an innovation in court practice
may be adopted whereby a large num-
Der of cases now on the docket may be
disposed of in a short time The COM
mission is to be reduced from nine
members to three on April 1, and con-
sequently the court is anxious to dis
pose of as many cases as possible be-
fore that time. A great deal of time
is taken up in submitting cases to the
court by attorneys indulging in long
and tiresome efforts of oratory. BY the
use of the photograph this wasted time
may be reduced one half. The rumor
is to the effect that when a case is
called the attorneys for the opposing
sides will be requested to step out into
the hall and toss a coin to see which
one shall address the court. The loser
then will be taken into representative
hall and posed before the photograph,
into which he will be expected to pour
his argument. Thus both arguments
can be delivered at the same time.
Then when the judges are in chambers
the monograph argument can be
turned on and listened to.

Russia's Rish. and EnsIand's Might
(Oregonian)

(OTeSOnldn.)
The question whether Russia ever
had the right she now threatens to
exercise to pass through the Darda-
nelles with warships has been recently
asked. There was an ancient rule
which prohibited ships of foreign pow
ers from entering the traits so long as
the Porte was at peace. This rule diff
fered from the one which governed the
neutrality of the Black Sea. BY the
terms of the latter Russia and Turkey
were each limited to six steam vessels
of not more than 500 tons and four
steam vessels of not more than 200
tons. while both countries were pro-
hibited from establishing any naval
station on the shores of the sea. In
October, 1870. however, Russia abro-
gated this rule so far as it applied to
the size and number of vessels which
she was allowed to maintain on the
