Semi Centennial Of Battle
Of Fredericksburg Observed

Washington. Dec. 14.--F1fty years
ago almost within sight of the
national capital. was fought the great
battle OF Fredericksburg. The battle
was one of the severest of the civil
war and the resultant victory one Of
the most notable achieved by the arms
of the confederacy.
Fredericksburg lies on the south
bank of the Rappahannock river. 65
miles north of Richmond, and on the
shortest railroad route to that city
from Washington. Besides this fact,
the vicinity OF Acquia Creek, on tho
Potomac-furnishing an excellent base
OF supplies-made movement on Rich

feasible than by any other route.
