the weather was beautiful. The town
was perfectly quiet, many of the inhab-
itants had fled, not a person was to be
seen on the streets. and the windows

which the place had been previously
exposed were everywhere visible.

cretly as possible Sedgwick prepared to
attack the nights. Gibbon, of the Sec

north bank, crossed shortly after Sedg-
wick had captured the town, and moved
to the right but his advance was

which it was impossible to lay bridges

Hooker Hooker's orders had been made
under the expectation that a large por-
lion of Sedgwick's force was still on
the Falmouth side of the river, and he
directed that IL cross at Fredericksburg
and attack from that direction, but
Sedgwick and Warren, who was with
him, saw that the spirit of this order
was carried out by turning the heads
of their columns from where they were
directly upon Fredericksburg. This was
the more reasonable, since there were
no bridges at that time directly in front

showed that they were actively prepar-

enemy kept up an incessant artillery
fire, and the noise was deafening Their
musketry fire was reserved until our
men were within easy range. Then a
murderous storm of shell from the stone
wall and grape and canister from the
hill burst upon the column and line.
For a moment the head of the left col
umn was checked and broken. The coll
umn on the right was also broken. Col
Burnham's line of blue on the green
field paused as IL to recover breath and
slightly wayered. Sedgwick and New

mained silent. The suspense was in
tense. Was it to be victory or a de-
feat? Was the place second time TO
be a 'slaughter-pen?' Was the Sixth
Corps to be driven into the river? Staff
officers, waving their swords and hur-
rahing to the men, dashed down the
Telegraph road. A binding rain of
shot pierced the air. 1t was more than
human nature could face. The head

10000 men, to hold Fredericksburg

as my horse was jumping thru break

Whereas, the last Democratic State

Your committee does not think,
however, that it is possible to have

Die to do so.
