IN THE FOUR months since he had dc-

foTraed q small miracle. He restored the
fighting spirit of the troops tOho had oil

fotr-month interim had also seen the
army 0ToU to staggering proportions
$4,000 men. Opposite the FederGls strung
out on the north bank of the R0ppdhdn-
mock Riuer, Robert Lees army remained
strongly intrenched on the heights behind
FrederickSburg Although his command
on the scene numbered only 10000, Lee
defenses iOere almost impreOn0ble, and
Hooker kneiD better than to repeat the mis-
takes of Burnside. He iOorked out q STRAIT

Lee Dould stay Uhere he pGs, Hooker
planned to enciTcle his adversary by
marching one-third of his army upriver,

CONTINUED SUCCESS OF THE GREAT

CONCRATULATORY ORDER OF CEN.
HOOKER.

The following order had been is
sued by Gen. Hooker:
Headquarters Army of the Potomac,
Camp Near Falmouth, Va, April 30, 1868.
General Orders No. AZ. It is with
heartfelt satisfaction that the Com
manding General announces to the
army that the operations of the last
three days have determined that the
enemy must either inglOriOusly fly or
come out from behind his defenses and
give US battle on our own ground, where
certain destruction awaits him.
The operations Of the Fifth, Elev-
enth and Twelfth corps have been a
succession Of splendid achievements.

The foregoing, it will be seen, is
dated on Thursday last Our accounts of
what has transpired in the three days
fighting since then are of character to
thrill every patriotic heart with joy, but
we do not feel at liberty to enter into
particulars.
Our readers can rely upon it that

tent bravery that augurs conclusive re-
suits and a victory that shall sound the
death knell of the rebellion.
PS.-Since writing the above, we
find that city cotemporary 1.-THE morn
ing Chr0nicIel has issued an extra which
purpOrts to give some particulars of the
fighting near Fredericksburg, and ex-
cuses as from further reticence as to
the facts it divulges.
Thus it appears that, while Hooker
was occupying the attention of the Con-
federates near Charlottesville, [Johnl
Sedgwick, early Sunday morning,
crossed at Fredericksburg, and after a
sharp contest, a good deal of it over the
same ground that Burnside occupied in
his fight, carried the heights and drove
the rebels (such of them as were not
bayOneted on the spoD pell nell from
the intrenchments.
In this attack upon the fortifica-
tions of Fredericksburg our men got in
the rear Of the celebrated stone wall
that so effectually protected the rebels
in the disastrous attack under Burn
side....
Concerning the fight made by
Hooker near Charlottesville accounts
are so contradictory that we prefer to
wait for more satisfactory details be-
fore giving them publicity.
The fighting has been desperate,
with heavy losses on both sides; and
while we have to mourn the loss of
many brave officers and men, this is the
price to be paid for success.
We regret to say that the gallant

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Dec. %
AP)-The Bulgarian news
agency. BTA. said today the
country's former No. 2 man at
the United Nations has con-
feSSed he spied for the United
States, collecting 100000 for
the secrets he sold.
The agency said Ivan Asse
Christof Georgiev, Sc, was
called home from New York in
1861 and later arrested on es-
pionage charges. His trial, at
which he could receive a death
sentence, is expected to begin
soon.
While serving as counselor Of
the Bulgarian U. N. delegation
from 1856 to 1861, the news
agency said, Mr.. Georgiev was
actually an agent in the pay Of
the Central Intelligence Agen-
cy.
Complete Confession
He has made "a complete
confession" the news agency
said.
In a 1,500-word excerpt Of
the indictment, BTA gave the
names of alleged contacts" of
Mr.. Georgiev in Europe and the
United States and a detailed
description Of the procedures
he had to observe in relaying
his secret reports to United
States intelligence.
Mr.. Georgiev repeatedly was
contacted by the Americans as
early as 1856 when he was on
his way to New York to take
up his duties.
The Indictment says that he
stopped over in Paris where he
had two meetings with Angel
(Anzhelo) Kouyou Mdzhiyski,
identified in the indictment as
a French banker and a former
colonel IN the United States in
telligence services.
Knew His Contact
Mr.. Georgiev knew his con-
tact from an earlier tour Of
duty in France, the indictment
said. Mr.. Georgiev told the
banker that "he had decided to
serve" the CHA and demanded
to meet a senior official" The
Frenchman repeatedly prom
ised to establish contact with
the intelligence service Of Allan
Dulles"

Compromise
Cun'tGet to
House Vote
By ROBERT X. WALSH
Star Staff Writer

Efforts to end the first ses-
sion of the 18th Congress COL
lapsed again last night in a
futile attempt to pass the for
eign aid appropriations bill.
The House quit until tomor-
row as Democratic leadership
blamed the Republicans for
staging a Shutdown strike to
prevent the passage of the SO
billion bill.
Democratic Leader Albert
served notice that the leader
ship would not permit final ad-
journment of Congress this
year without disposing of the
bill.
Senate Waits
The Senate, meanwhile, ad-
journed at 5:48 pm. yesterday
until Tuesday with an agree
ment TO transact no business
that day, Christmas Eve. 1t
agreed. however, to stand in
readiness for a vote next Fri
day if the House approves the
foreign aid bill by that time.
A White House aide said
President johnson was cancel
ing his plans for a Christmas
trip to his Texas ranch. He
said he intended to remain in
Washington until the foreign
aid bill is passed and Congress
adjourns the 1868 session.
Along with this announce
ment, a White House aide
called the days developments
"a clear attempt by the Mid
west isolationist wing of the
Republican Party, headed by
Mr.. Halleck minority LEADER
to seize control of the Republic
can Party and impose its will
upon the foreign policy Of the
United States"
Arends Replies
Mr.. Halleck had no immedi-
ate comment, but Representa-
tive Arends, the assistant
\ G. o. p. Leader, issued a state
ment saying:
President Lyndon johnson
broke the mourning period and
the moratorium on politics
with his vicious and unprinci-
pied attack on the Republican
members of Congress"
In the Senate, Republican
Leader DirkSen said of the
White House aides statement:
This does no good. This dis
turbs me no end"
The crucial issue in the for
eign aid bill controversy in the
House was whether to ban
Government guarantees for fl
nancing private sales of United
States products to Soviet-bloc
countries.
After a session that ended
shortly before dawn yesterday,
the House voted 141 to 1856 to
insist on complete prohibition
of such credit guarantee for
sales of wheat to Russia.
Agree on Modification
This was a setback for Presi-
dent johnson and the House
Democratic leadership. Specifi-
cally the membership rejected a
Senate-House conference COM
mittee recommendation that
the President be given discre-
tionary authority to permit
such sales if he deemed them
to be in the national interest.
At a 10-minute session shortly
before the House and Senate
reconvened at noon yesterday,
the conferees agreed on a mod
ification that would require the
President to notify the House
and Senate in each instance
within 80 days after he decided
that such a sale would be in
the national interest.
This set the stage for another
attempted showdown vote on
the wheat sale provision in the
So billion foreign aid bill. Dem
