The Battle ol Fredericksburg. The indecisive battle at Fredericksburg, on Saturday, is very clearly described by the X. Y. Tribune's correspondent, whose account we copy below. It should be observed however, that Humphrey’s and Griffin's divisions, be longing to Butterfield’s corps of Hooker's grand division, were held in reserve, and did not cross the Rappahannock till Saturday. The Tribune thus describes the battle: ON THE JtIGHT. In the council of war held on Friday evening, some of Burnside's generals expressed doubts about carrying the enemy's position by assault, but were ready for any movement he should order. It wa« determined to assault the ene my’s position at daylight on Saturday, but a log prevented until 11 o'clock, when the move ment commenced. Gen. Sumner had selected French’s division of Gen. Couch's corps for the advance of the attacking column on the right. Orders were to move from the streets of Fredericksburg,next to the river to the out skirts of the town, from a line of battle by brig ades. and preceded by a cloud of skirmishers, move at u double-quick upon the first line of the enemy’s works. Gen. Freiich was neces sarily obliged to march his troops in solid col umns in parallel streets. As soon as the head ’of the columns had emerged from the lower into the higher portions of the streets, the ene my’s batteries opened upon them from several points. Upon teaching the outskirts of the town, the order was given to deploy, hut stone and other fences prevented its ready execution. During the delay thus caused, the troops were exposed to au enfilading Are which taxed their endurance most severely. The line being formed at last, about noon the order to ad vance was given. The line moved up and over a low range of elevations ami down to ward the foot of the hills on which the ene my’s breastworks were situated. The rebel sharpshooters now opened from all sides with fearful effect. The vigor of the fire of the rel> el artillery also steadily increased, and when the line reached the foot of the second range ofhills, a perfect hail of lead fell U|ion it. The advance, however, was continued until within a few hundred yards of the crest of the hills, when a rapid succession of terrific volleys from long liues of rebel infantry, suddenly rising in front of their works, checked it. From the po sinon tney uau gaiueu unr troops now ex changed round after round with the enemy uutll their ammunition became exhausted^nd the line fell back some distance, leaving nearly one-half of its number on the field, to make room for Gen. Hancock’s division. Hancock's division moved forward stead fastly up to the point where French’s had re ceived its check, when it was also stopped by the murderous Are of rebel infantry anil artil lery. For two hours it alternately replied to the enemy’s musketry, and attempted to make its way up the second range of hills. Altho’ unable to advance, and continually losing num bers, it fought until its ammunition gave out, when it was relieved by Howard’s division, and retired nearer to town. Howard’s command went into action about 3 o’clock. One after the other of its brigades was advanced to the front, but, like those of French anil Hancock's did not succeed in reaching the enemy’s works. The last, under Gen. Sally, was ordered to charge up the hill with the bayonet, and moved forward in most gallant style, hut was checked, as all the other troops bad been. Shortly after French’s division had moved to the attack, Sturgis division of Wilcox’s corps advanced over a parallel road on the left of our right upon the works and batter ries covering the enemy’s right flank. It ex perienced the same difficulties in forming, in consequence of obstructions on the ground, as French’s, but pushed forward with the ut most determination, halting only at times to open its way with musketry. It readied with in eighty yards of the crest of the hill it aimed to take, but having lieen fearfully weak ened in numbers during its advance, had to halt. It held the point gained for three hours, notwithstanding it was confronted by vastly superior numbers of infantry, and enfiladed by batteries on each flank. Even after its am munition had all beeu spent, it did not give way, but firmly held its ground until properly relieved just before sunset. Shortly before dark Humphrey's and Grif fin's divisions were ordered to advance to the front and relieve the troops of Gen. Couch on the right, and Gen. Wilcox on the left. They reached the front, anil formed iu line just be fore sunset, and at once charged upon the en emy’s works. Humphrey’s division came within a short distance of them, and GritHn's reached the point held liy Sturgis, which re spective positions they have since occupied. Duriug tlieir advance the firing from the reb el artillery reached the highest intensity of the whole day, but ceased shortly after night fall. Simultaneous with the advance of Griffin and Humphrey, Getty’s Division moved from its position up the valley of a little stream skirting the town, and advanced to the base of the liill occupied hv the rebel batteries on the extreme right, driving the rebel infantry from behind a stone wall, from which they had greatly troubled our troops during the day.— Here it lay during the night. Syke’s Division of IlutterAeld’s Corps followed, between Grif tlii and Humphrey, to the front, but arrived too late for action. Thus ended the conflict between our right and the rebel left. ON THE LEFT. The extreme left of Gen. Franklin’s Divis ion extended three miles below Fredericks burg, and his right was two miles below the town, his line being a mile long. The first fire was made by the skirmishers of the 13th Mass, in our front. They had moved cautiously in advance of our lines for half a mile when, dis covering the enemy's pickets, they fired upon them. Cannonading soon commenced iu car nest. The hazy atmosphere of the early part of the day having cleared away, so u to give to each of the contending parties a view of the position taken by the other. Hall's Bat tery, the 2d Maine, discovered a battery of the enemy in close proximity, and opened a rapid and vigorous tire upon it. In a few moments the artillery tire extended along the entire line. The 2d U. S. Artillery, Capt. Kanson, Cooper's Battery of Pennsylvania Reserves, and others, made and received a severe attack. The skirmishing was kept up as our lines ad vanced, and the position of the enemy in the woods was almost reached. A scattering musketry fire continued from the first advance, about 1) o’clock, till noon, and with occasional lulls. The cannonading was heavy and se vere. Now came the most successful and deter mined effort on this part of the line. The at tack was made from the point of intersection of the angle formed by our lines. This point was nearest the woods, and the enemy’s shells were falling thickly about it. Gibbon’s divis ion and the Pennsslvania reserves advanced laildly towards the works of the enemy. They pushed determinedly through the brushwood and bushes on to a grove of cedars, and through these up the hills towards the breast works of the enemy. The works were carried, many prisoners captured, and the crest of the hill gained, not, however, without a heavy loss. Gen. Gibbon fell, wounded in the arm, while leading his command to the attack. The works of the enemy at this point were gained but not held. The enemy unfortunately pos sessed the strength to concentrate overwhelm ing numbers of fresh troops upon the threat ened point, and for all the valor of those who survived, and for all the sa^fcices of those who fell, the position had to be abandoned, and our troops were compelled to fall back to the plain. Th°y had penetrated lievond the railroad and Bowling Green turnpike, through the woods and across the outer work of the enemy to the ton of tin* bill, and were then forced back to this side of the railroad, where they maintain ed their stand In advance of that they origin ally occupied. During three successive advances and checks along the center and left of the grand division, uninterrupted shelling was kept up hy the rebel batteries upon the bodies of droops at differ ent point* of the plain. At a large stone man sion near the center of our line, used as a field hospital during the day, an incessant fire was directed. Near this building Gen. Bayard found an untimely death. A shell struck him while sitting tinder a tree within a few yards of Gen. Franklin, in the leg, without explod ing. His leg was nearly torn off, and he died in the course of the evening. Toward the middle of the afternoon the firing along the lines of the left of the grand division grew weaker and gradually settled into a compara tive lull. Shortly before sunset, however, the firing on the extreme left was renewed with increased vigor, and kept up until after dark. At 5 1-2 o’clock it gradually died away, and at C o’clock it had entirely ceased. Disloyal Cosspibacy.—The Belfast or Progressive Age (the Retrogressive Age is published at Augusta) thus calls attention to the concerted attempt of the leaders of the dis loyal Democracy to create a public opinion un favorable to the Administration and the pros ecution of the war, by means of a suborned press: Wherever there is a Republican press that can be subsidized, it is immediately seized and put into service. The New York World which was. till some six or eight months ago, a Union paper, has been purchased by Fernando Wood, and is now doing the work of the disloyal De mocracy. A former leading Republican pa per of thin Mate has gone into Democratic hamfn. awl in note daily annaillng the Admin istration awl itn policy. The leading Jame son paper of tills Stute, it is stated, is aliout to lie purchased by the disloyal leaders of the De mocracy. and tiie late Bangor Democrat is to lie started again the first of January. Most of our readers know what the pretended Jame son paper of this city has become. Its columns are lull of disloyalty, and there is not a single word of sympathy from month to month in it, either for our brave soldiers or for the cause of the Union. In almost every town there are ac tive canvassers for some of these papers or others equally disloyal. There are numerous Union men w ho are deceived into subscribing for these papers; and hundreds of men who would be true Union men if the means of un derstandiug the true issue were put into their hands, are being misled by means of the dis loyal pa|KTs. How shall this be prevented? it is by waking to the dangers, and resolutely counteracting the effects of desperate disloyal men and presses and seeing to it note, that ev ery man that can lie reached shall be persuad ed to take some newspaper that earnestly up holds tlie cause of freedom and the govern ment. Now is the time that newspapers and documents can do service. Great Military Feat. The following is from a newspaper corres pondent, referring to the passage of the river at Fredericksburg, by the federal troops: Nothing could lie more admirable or gallant than the execution of this (taring feat. Hush ing down the steep banks of the river, the par ty found temporary shelter behind the pon toon boats lying scattered on the bank, and behind piles of planking destiued for the cov ering of the bridge, behind rocks, &c. In this situation they'acted some fifteen or twenty minutes as sharpshooters, they and Hie rebels observing each other. In the meantime fresh and vigorous artillery firing was commenced on our part, and just as soon a» this was fairly developed, the 7th Michigan arose from their crouching places, rushed for the pontoon lxiats, and pushing them Into the water, rapid ly tilled them with twenty-live or thirty each. The first boat pushes off. Now, if ever, is the rebels, opportunity. Crack! crack! crack! from fifty lurking places go rebel lilies at the gallant fellows, who, stooping low in the boat, seek to avoid llic tire. The murderous work was well done. Lustily, however, pull the oarsmen, and presently, having passed the middle of the stream, the boat and its gallant freight come under cover of the opposite bluffs. Another and another boat follows. \ow is their opportunity. Nothing could be more amusing, in its way, than the result. Instant ly they see a new turn of affairs. The rebels pop up by the hundred, like so many rats,from every cellar, rifle-pit, and stone wall, and scamper otl up the streets of the town. With incredible rapidity the Michigan and Massa chusetts hoys sweep up the hill, making a rush for the lurking places occupied by the rebels, and gaining them, each man capturing his two or three prisoners. The pontoon boats on their return trip took over more than a hun dred of these fellows. LOAN TO THE TOWN OF Cape Elizabeth. PROPOSALS will bo received through Portland 1*.

THE DAILY PRESS. PORTLANlt, MAINE Thursday Morning, December 18,1862. The Portland Dailv Press has the largest regular oircnlation of any daily paper in the city.___ The Indian vs. the Atrican. yphy should the poor captured rebel Indians In Minnesota lie hung, when the Federal* havs three regiments of Indians? If these men are soldiers, as by the act of the govern ment the three thousand in onr service must be considered, how can they be treated as fel ous and not soldiers The red man, the orig inal possessor of the soil, surely stands a worse chance than the African.—[Argus. The above is characteristic. We have failed to detect, in a careful reading of that paper, the first instance in which it has given the government credit for a single proper act, or in which it has tailed to find fault; and yet the Argus is a loyal paper, of course. It has no sympathy for rebellion, though it never has a railing accusation to bring against the reb els it has great sympathy for the government, though it finds fault with all its acts; it has very ardent desires for the success of our gov ernment in putting down rebellion, though it is innocent of ever Jiving expression to any such desires. Yet the Argus is loyal, for its editors are loyal men, of course; for who ever knew a Democrat w ho was not loyal, and a friend to his country' It is known to our readers that three hun dred Indians in Minnesota, guilty of the mur der of at least one thousand defenceless peo ple of that State—the victims in most cases j women and children—have been arrested and sentenced to death. The President lias re- i fused to sanction the finding of the court and j their execution, except in the case of thirty- j nine, who, the evidence showed, w ere guilty not simply of acts of war, hut of wanton mas sacre of the perfectly defenceless. But the Armi* obieets to their execution, and would have them treated not as lelons, bat as prison- i ers of war—“swear them and let them go,” to tomahawk and scalp still other women and children! We can imagine no possible rea son lor this course of the Argus, except that the culprits were the allies of its democratic j friends in the South—the pliant tools of the rebels, as shown by Senator Rice of that State. j But what we wish to notice specially is the tlur at the African, which the Argus con trives to get off. “The red man—the original possessor of the soil—surely stands a worse chance than the African.” The red man, the “original possessor,” sold his claim to the soil in Minnesota for an annuity, and has been treated honorably and farily by the govern ment; but still he becomes the instrument of rebels, and imbrues his hands in the warm blood of defenceless women and children; but for him the Argus has “bowels of compassion.” But the African, stolen from his native soil, and for generations reduced to the most abject bondage for no crime—for him there must be no compassion! And yet who has ever known the African to return evil for good? When has he betrayed the confidence of those who J have shown him a favor, or laliored for his ele vation? When did he ever become the tool of assassins to murder those who had treated him kindly? But he is black; God has made j him so, and though never treacherous, though characterized for his docility, and though his affectional qualities dominate in his soul, the Argus would show him no mercy; while the ever treacherous Indian, because he is not a slave, but is the tool and instrument of slave holders, it would treat with a lenity of which he has proved himself unworthy. Such, to our mind, seems the exact ground occupied by the Eastern Argus. Opinions of n Maine General Officer. A few days since we received a private let ter from an officer in the service, from this State, a man who was among the earliest to of fer his services to the government, w ho fought at the first battle of Buil Run, w ho has been in some of the most sanguinary conflicts of the war, who has never flinched from duty, and who now is in command of a brigade in one of the localities most favorably situated to allow him to observe critically the relation of the slave iuterest to the war, and to judge wisely of the effect of the President's emanci pation proclamation, which he—old Democrat as he is—warmly sustains. We are not at lib erty to give his hume, but we ask careful at- tention to the following extracts: Butler lias organized two regiments of fu- j gitive slaves—“Native Guards”—free negroes large number of them enlisted for my regi ment (officers’ scouts) brought down from Ba ton Kouge. Everybody speaks in the highest terms of them. They tire “raw” you know, have had little drill, but have already shown themselves at the “Bayou Lafource” allair brave and true. I know they will tight. There is another thing, in my judgment, which our people do not quite understand.— McClellan and Buell have had the idea that it was necessary to drill an army a great w hile before putting them into action. This must i depend upon the kind of soldiers you have. Such men as we have from the North will not j stand it. Such men as we are sending from the State of Maine, are better fitted for fiyht three months after enlistment than they ever will be. They are men of intelligence—action. A longer period of inactivity—friends lost by disease, Ac., discourages and demoralizes them. Pul them into the tight, for me, when their courage is good. The army of the Po tomac (the old army) is not worth so much to-day as it was twelve months ago. The new levies—nine months men—may infuse new life j into them, but in God's name don’t let them j become demoralized by long delay with the old stagers. -‘s popularity with the army was simp ly on account of his peace policy—never w ill ingly driving his men to the front, or putting them under lire. Soldiers are not over anx-, ious to get into a light, but those who survive fee! very proud of it aftet wards. More men however, have been lost by disease than could have been lost in any unsuccessful attack to take Richmond. But still we think while de lay kills men by disease that God is at fault, while death in battle is chargeable to man. The Alabama legislature have resolved that rather than surrender Mobile, their only sea port, to the invaders, it should be defended from street to street, from house to house, inch by inch, until if it were taken, the victors’ spoils should be only a heap of ashes. The Mayor of Mobile is perfectly satisfied with this understanding. Meanwhile Gov. Brown of Georgia sends this message to his legisla ture: 1 have been informed by the Military Com mander at Savannah, that it is inteuded to make a defense of the city to extremity: anti he requests assistance from the state in the removal of the women aud children anti other non-combatants from the city. In view of the fate of New Orleans and other cities that have been surrendered to the enemy, I cordial ly endorse and approve this resolution of the Confederate General. Get us hold the city as long as a house or a brick w’till is left standing, behind which our troops can fight; and let the state assume the loss occasioned by the des truction of property, or at least, divide it with the sufferers. It will be necessary that food and shelter be provided for such of the non-combatants as are unable to take care of themselves, as soon as possible, that they may be removed in ad vance of the attack. Therefore I recommend an early appropriation 01 two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for this purpose. Are these peaceful words of erring brothers ready to return to the Union—for a considera tion 1 Ml—————M—>l—— Corre*pondcnc® of the Pre»s. letter troin the Scene of Conflict. Howard’s Division, I Fredericksburg, Ya., Dec. 12th, 1862. i To the Editorn of the Portland Preen You will have learned by telegraph long be fore this reaches you, the main matures of the taking of Fredericksburg, by Gen. Howard’s Division assisted by most of the Artillery of Sumner’s command. No doubt it was a day of anxious waiting to all who were aware that the army was iu motion, but you at home can not easiiy comprehend the intensity of anxiety of those who witness the details of action,while the event hangs iu fearful uncertainty—the de pression at times—the ebb and flow of hope, and on the. other hand the excitement which attends success; the glow of exultation, the thrill of admiration for those who have attain ed it, thankfulness to Him who gave it;—these emotions mingling till and crowd the heart,the preponderance of each depending upon the pe culiar temperament of the beholder. Of the participant the same is true adding the inteusi llcation of which comes from personal con tact. and the varied emotions which spring from self-love. Experience taught us lessons of this kind yesterday, when in the darkness of the foggy morning hour just after swallowing a hasty breakfast, we heard the opening roar of the cannon, and listened with practiced ear to de cide w hether they were our own or the ene my’s guns; iu the bustle of a hurried depart ure from cani|)—the buckling on of spurs—the clasping round of sabre belts, rolling up of robes or blankets,fastening them upon the sad dles. sharp words to the Hurried ostler who has too much to do in too short a time—the brief and pointed directions of the general, sending one aid here,and another there,giving distinct ly tile order of march—which brigade leads, where the column will be formed, the place for the artillery. On the horses now, trotting over the frozen and icy ground; the Adjutant Geueral to stop at this point aud see each brigade ont of camp; the Ordnance OHicer, to go ill search of the ammunition train which has already moved one brigade is long in get ting out of'camp; the general often looks at his watch, and remarks that" the appointed hour has not quite arrived; the forge of our battery gets stuck fast iu crossing a brook; lilt vt^iii iiui.'cs uu uui iuii luguuu iui j ciij.» upon the frosty ground: they are turned this way, then that; whipped, scolded; men lift on the wheels; tlie forge still sticks fast; the appointed hour lias arrived; the general is getting i npatient, hut the aid sent to bring out the dilatory brigade arrives and says Geu. -lias started and we now see the head of his column; the eight horses of the forge, are turned far off to the left while the strength of the artillery men and others,the general has temporarily impressed, is applied directly anil with levers to the wheels and then the horses pull a little, feel encouraged when it starts, as do we all, and up comes tlie forge out of the liird when it has been delayed llfteen minutes, which have seemed an hour. The cannon mean while are booming away. Au aid of the Gen eral rides up and says tlie other two divis ions are in motion parallel to ours. We are to cross three bridges which are expected to be completed by the time we reach the river's bank. The fog is lifting, and there is some dan ger that our column will be seen liy the ene my as it passes over the hill, anil it will cer tainly draw their lire upon 11s, if seen. The kindly fog covers us till we are protected by another hill, behind which we are ordered to inarch and halt till further orders. It seems that tlie bridges are not yet finished, though begun at ‘1 o'clock a. m. Soon the word comes that the laying of the pontoons progresses ve ry slowly, owing to ‘.he enemy's sharp shoot ers who are concealed in houses and behind, barricades, rille-pits etc., and "drop" our engi neers as soon as they step upon the bridge. It is now sunrise and the bridge is not half way across. A brigade of our division is or dered lorw aid—part to support the batteries, and part to stand upon tlie bunk and, if possi ble. to clear away tlie rebel sharpshooters by volleys. Col. Hall's brigade, consisting of tlie 19th and -Oth Mass., the pill Mich., tlie 69th and 4gd N. Y. ami lgptb I*a., goes to the front. Gen. Howard accompanied them to a point near our batteries, and as they tiled past him, he spoke words of cheer to the men. He then returned ami rode along tlie front of all the remaining regiments including the 19th Maine which belongs to Gen. Sully’s brigade, address ing the men in a similar manner. Your space will not allow me to go through the anxious day as minutely as I have liegun. Soon Geu. II. rides over to the advanced brig ade. where the shells have been striking un comfortably near, but no one hurt except those upon tlie bank of tlie river by the villainous bullets of tlie rebel sharpshooters. A Lt. Col onel and three captains have already been struck—Lt. Col. Hull, we know him w ell,mor tally wounded. It is now nearly 4 o'clock p. m.. and that bridge is only hall way across. The 7th Mich., formerly Col. Hall’s regiment volunteers to cross in boats in the face of tlie firing, drive off the sharpshooters, and protect the finish ing of tlie bridge. (Jen. H. gives his hearty approval. The boats are made ready. They rush Irom cover and into the boats; push off, one after the other. The bullets come in showers and kill terribly. The head boat is forced to put back, but out it goes again, and another is now pushing to the very middle of tlie river. On they go. seven of them, in the face of de struction, blit armed with a noble purpose and sublime courage. Yes, and armed with good effective rifles, with which they pour hack a storm of halls. One touches the further shore —they shout and rush up tlie hank—an an swering cheer resounded from those who watched from the other shore. The 7th Mich __„ /‘..i _1 Baxter, lias lieen wounded, but their colors J are up, and they dash forward, driving the re- 1 bels before them—rush into houses and behind all covers, and there hold their ground. The bridge building can now go on. A stand of colors is captured, which the proud captor brings back to Gen. Howard, who thanks and commends him, inquiring his name. He does not claim to have taken it without aid from others. He wishes to return to the tight, and the General takes the tlag and sutlers him to return. The regiment is in a critical place, but others soon join it from the bouts, and in less than one hour the bridge is finished. Now the remainder of the Division passes over. But, as soon as the columu appeared upon the hill, the enemy’s cannon opened fiercely upon it. Must it wind its slow length along amid such tearing destruction? Gen. 11. sits with his staff by the brink of the river, and near the end of the bridge, till one brig ade has passed. The shells burst about him and strike terribly close. They plunge into the solid earth. The pieces whiz in every di rection some drop into the river w ith a sound like that of a hot iron plunged into water.— Gen. H. crosses with his staff and now stands upon the other bank, w hile the remainder of his command comes over. The bullets now whistle past. They come down the street in fearful profusion. Aids go and come from Col. Hall, who is advancing slowly up the street with his brigade. Col. Hall himself comes and consults with Gen. Howard, and says, “they are killing my men frightfully.”— “Instruct them to go slowly and cautiously, seeking every possible cover,” is the answer. Dec. 13th. If spared through this day, your correspondent will continue this account.— Loss in Hall’s brigade, 3 officers killed, 8 wounded; 85 men killed, 180 wounded. Loss in the other brigades thus far, slight. H.

Compliment to the Maine Cavalry.— We Hud in the December number of the Lon don Coruhill Magazine, in an article entitled “Campaigning under Gen. Pope,” a handsome compliment to the Maine Cavalry. The writer says:— Much of the Federal Cavalry was w retched ly made up; but there was a Maine Regiment, of broad, long-armed swordsmen, whose equals I have never seen. In this regiment the horses of each company were of a distinct color. £y“The Grenada (Miss.) Appeal states that i John M.

For sale in this city, by II. L. Davis, 53 Ex change Street. Rarely indeed is genius transmitted in the direct line of descent; some element of its con summate perfection seems always wanting in the second generation. But Bryan Procter, better known by his anagrammatic pseudo me of “Barry Cornwall,” was not a man of transcendent genius. His more ambitious un dertakings in verse were failures; though he possessed a rare susceptibility to that intricate harmony of language w’bich belongs to lyric poetry. His songs will be long remembered and sung, and his daughter's name will be remembered with his own. Her first volume. emit led “Legends and Lyrics a book of t®*seswas published five years ago. The legends are deficient in characterization; and tlie lyrics, though written in pure, limpid English and only occasionally de fective in meter, lack force and are full of un warranted melancholy. There are passages however of unmistakable promise, like this: “Listen, and I will fell thee The song Creation sings, From the humming ufbees in the heather, To the flutter ofaugesi' wings. An echo rings forever, Tiie sound can never cease; It s|u'aks to God of giory. It speaks toearth of peace.” A second series of “Legends and Lyrics” np peared in 1861, much more elaborate and com plete than the first. “The Lost Chord” be longs to the secontl series, the chance struck chord of music, “like the sound of a great Amen.” This and many other little poems of Miss Procter’s second volume have already achieved popularity. Her religious poems arc chiefly collected in tlie “Chaplet of Verses,” published last May. for the benefit of a catho lic Night Refuge, for homeless women and children. The last poem of this volume, is well known: “Our Beasts, and onr Thieves, and our Chattels Ha* e weight for good or for ill; But the |KMir are only His image. His presence. His word. His will;— And so Lu7aius lies at our doorstep And Hives neglects him still.” Miss Proctor’s creed is Roman Catholic; her religious poems are with lew exceptions Cath olic in a better sense. The American publishers have brought out these three volumes in one, hound in blue and gold ami printed at the university press. It is unnecessary to say another word about its mechanical execution. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. The price of the New York Tribune, daily and weekly, have been greatly increased. Report says Geu. McClellan and wife will soon visit Boston. ZW~ Judge Holt’s name is again mentioned in connection with a cabinet appointment. We understand that the side-wheel Government steamer buikling at Ball), by Messrs. Larrabee Allen, is progressing flue iy. Everywhere except in Virginia, the L’uiou cause looks hopeful, and we are not w ithout hope that tlie exceptional cause will soon be removed. Says the Lewiston Journal, persons who pretend to know, assure us that our mer chants have never prospered so swimmingly as the past year. It must needs be so. Ev erything has been rising in their hands. The Louisville Democrat of Thursday last says: We published yesterday a list of guerrillas captured hy a detachment of Col. Shanks’ men, near Owensboro, one night last week. It appears that these men were at a party or dance, and were enjoying it hugely, when onr men surrounded the house and cap our boys taking their places, "Danced all night, 'till broad daylight. And weut home with the girls iu the morning." Two reports have been made to the Georgia Legislature on the subject of the reb el conscription law. The majority of the joint committee recommended resistance to the law. Tlte minority reported that the safety of the State demands that no opposition be made to any measures adopted by the Confederate Congress in the exercise of powers granted and intended for our common defense. The Legislature had not taken action. Xy An account of the libel suit of the Count Joannes alias Jones r». F. H. Under wood of the Boston Atlas, lias been prepared lor our columns by ait obliging frieud, but is crowded out by the late press of news. In deed, it is unsafe saying anything about the Count, who bus now lour suits on hand, in cluding one against the Boston Advertiser for printing the report from which ours was con densed, ami another against Gov. Andrewsjbr addressing him as Mr. Jones. Xy The editor of the Montreal Advertiser says that he lias seen “a private letter from an influential and well known member of tile House of Commons, received by the North American, iu which the opinion is expressed that the Emperor of the French will recog nize the Southern Confederacy whether Great Britain and Russia join with him in doing so or not.” Well, what then Are we to under stand that this influential M. P. has received private advices from Louis Napoleon? or is his opinion not much better than another man's Killed and Wounded from Maine.— The army correspondent of tlte Boston Jour nal, says that in the second attack ou the right at Fredericksburg, ou Saturday, the 2d aud 20th Maine regiments were engaged. He fur nishes the following list of wounded: W. Stevens, 7th Maine, side; Lieut. A. C. Peters, ltlth Me., slightly; J. G. Burnes, ltith Me., badly; S. Smith, 16Ul Me., side; J. M. Reeve, 19th Me., head; C. L. Babcock. 10th Me., badly. The Herald has a Washington dispatch giv ing the follow ing list of killed and wounded from Maine: 10th Maine.—Killed, Capt. Hutchins and Lieut.

The Betreat from Fredericksburg—An Inci dent of Saturday’s Battle. New Yoijk. Dec. 17. The following Incident is related by the Times'correspondent: About half past one o’clock the first line of battle in Gen. Gibbon's division was relieved by the second, when the brigade commanded by Col. Hoot charged ov er the open Held beyoud the railroad down in to the edge of the wood, occupying the breast works, and capturing two hundred prisoners belonging to the dGtii N. C. and a S. C. regi ment. Gen. Gibbons was severely wounded in the right hand. They held their own some time, but were compelled to fall back. Tlie Second Maine Battery advanced with Gililxm's division; when it fell back three guns were left behind to bear upon the advancing enemy. An order came at that moment to cease firing, as the force coming from the woods were our own men. When it had ad vanced, however, to within fifty yards, the commander of tlie battery became convinced that tln^ were rebels and moving to capture this battery. Five guns were opened on them, but after five rounds had been fired, the bat tery was ordered to fail back. Having fallen back, tlie captain called for volunteers to re turn and bring off tlie battery. Sergeant Berry, Sergeant Hubble, Corporal If. Greely and twelve men belonging to tlie 10th Maine regiment stepped forward. The undertaking, though a hazardous one, proved successful, as tlie abandoned gun was brought off in safety. It was w hile the fight was pro gressing at tills point that Gen. Bayard was fatally wounded. More of Gen. Banks* Transports put into Hilton Head. New Yoke, Dec. 17. The steamer Star of the South, from Hilton Head 14th, lias arrived. Tlie steamers Salvor and Albany put into Hilton Head for coul.and sailed again to rejoin Banks’ expedition.

Brown, of the 8th Maine, died on the Star of tlie South on tlie passage home. Tlie health of tlie troops is good. There are only 100 men in the hospital at Port Royal. From the Southwest. Caiko, III., Dec. 10. Gen. Grant has issued an order respecting Kentucky: That as the Suite has fulfilled the requirements of tlie Constitution of tlie Unit ed States and laws of Congress, by choosing loyal men to till the State offices and execute the laws, the military authority is prohibited from any interference, and is not to be used except to suppress riots and inob resistance to tlie laws. All civil law that can be executed at military posts will be permitted. Cotton is arriving at Memphis freely. Gen. Grant has i-sued an order that after Dec. loth, Oxford, Miss., will tie ouen for trade and travel. Gen. Burnside’s Reasons for Withdrawing from Fredericksburg. Philadelphia, Dec. 17. The Press publishes a dispatch from Gen. Burnside to Gen. Halleck, received at t) o’clock last evening, announcing the withdrawal of the army of the Potomac from Fredericks burg. Gen. Burnside says: Feeling fully convinced that the position in front could not be carried, and as it was a military necessity either to attack or retire, and as a repulse would have been disastrous to us under existing circumstances, the army was withdrawn without loss either of property or men.” Fart of Gen. Banks’ Expedition Seen off Florida. New Yoke, Dec. 17. The barque Ann, from New Orleans, reports 9th inst., 0 A. M. off St. Augustine. Florida, saw six targe steamers—judged from their course they were bound further south than Florida. They are probably a part of General Banks’ expedition. An Investigation Called for. Philadelphia, IX-c. 1(1. The Washington Star has an article pointing out the mi-management in regard to the pon toon bridges and the repairs of the Aqnia Creek Railway, and asks for an investigation by Congress to ascertain who was to blame lor tlie delay which has rendered abortive the plans of Gen. Burnside’s command. SPECIAL. NOTICES. Deapxess CfRKD.—Mrs. M. G. Browu will be at the Preble House for odo week. A remarkable esse of deafness cured in twenty four hours by Mrs. M. G.

Jacksox.—Our obit uary column, on Monday, announced the death of tins gentleman, formerly a resident in this city, though not horn here, as stated in one of the Baltimore papers. We learn tiiat he died io Baltimore on Friday night quite suddenly at the Eutaw House. The particulars are as follows: Early in the evening Mr. Jackson, accompanied by his niece, left Ins residence for the purpose of visiting Mr. Winans, (a rel ative by marriage.) Spending an hour or so, in buoyant spirits, and seeming in good health, be left on his return home. No one who had been present suspected the approach of death, still it soou caine. When the car stopped at the Eutaw House Mr. Jackson, attacked with sudden pain and feeling unwell, walked through the saloou of the house and remarked to Mr. John Barron, in attendance, that he was sure he was dying and would live but a few minutes. He asked him to take him to some place where he could receive attention. He was taken to an apartment iu the rear, and where the em ployees in attendance, supjiosing him in a dy ing condition, did all iu their power to relieve him. The generous-hearted proprietor, Col. Robert B. Coleman, was assiduous in giving relief. Professor Baxley was sent for and at tempted to bleed the patient, but did not suc ceed. In less than a hall hour Mr. Jacksou was dead. For ten years lie was the proprietor of the Eutaw House, a hotel which he had conducted with consummate ability. He was imj-uim mange ana leaves a wife and two children. His funeral took place on Sunday. He was much beloved and re spected by all who knew him, both for his geniality of disposition, and proverbial charity i in that city, which, for sixteen years past he had made his residence. His brother, G. E. B. Jackson, Esq., of tills city, went on to attend the funeral. Dk. Hedge’s Lbctube.—Rev. Ur. Hedge of Brookline, Mass., delivered the 3d lecture of the M. L. course to a very full house, last evening. His subject was “Feudalism, or Life in the Middle Age.’’ It was an elaborate pro duction, the result of extensive reading and much thought, but it seemed to us the com parison of the individual, personal condition of the actors of that age with that of the actors of the present, was unnecessarily full of paradoxes and not calculated to increase the respect of the audience for the good judgment of the lec turer. It seemed too much like an attempt to disparage all the material ami intellectual pro gress of our age, because of \he abuses of blessings so lamentably prevalent, while the old knights, feudal lords and vassals were al lowed more credit than they deserve, simply because their grossness is less distinctly visible titan tlinir Tl. 1. _ o-o “v »VV«U.« was an able one, notwithstanding its defects.

Olmstead’s Water Proof Leather Pbeserver.—We hare used this article for some years, especially in the winter season, and have found it the best preparation for boots, to render them water proof, that we have ever tried. It not only renders the leath er impervious to water, but also improves the material. There is no danger of wet feet if this article is properly applied to the boot; besides it does not soil the fingers when ap plying it, or the carpet when applied to the soles of the boots. Messrs.

Decision of Commissioner of In ternal Revenue. Request for the Appointment of Hon. Eli Thayer as Military Governor of Florida. The McDowell Court of Enquiry. Washington. Dec. 17. The majority report upon the selection of a site for a navy yard and naval depot, signed by Hear Admiral Stringham, Commander Gardner, Commander Van brunt ami Engi neer Sanger, makes choice of New London in preference to League Island; N'arragansett Hay being objectionable on account of fog.— It claims for New London superiority in the ease, access and freedom from obstructions by drill and moving ice, ball- anchorage, adapta tion for tile construction of dry docks, grading or tilling, site, range of tides, rapidity of cur rents, and healtbluiness of location. The re port makes League Island and New- London equal m facility lor providing workmen and supplies, of site, security against attack, a depth of water, and gives League Island su periority iu tlie facility ol obtaining coal, and iron, and fresh water, as better ibr preserv ing the bottoms of vessels. ^The minority re port of Prof. Baolie and Lieut Commander Thomas Phelps, gives League Island the pref erence iu defeasibility against exposure to violent winds, area of anchorage, preparation of site, facility for procuring supplies, and in ferior to New London in only two points, viz: health and exposure to ice. The invalid {tension bill appropriated nearly eight million dollars for the year ending with June, 1834, of which there are for invalid pen sions under various acts, $-'1,000,000; to revo- lutionary widows $250,000; pensions to widows and orphans under the acts of 1836, 1818,1853 j and 1858, $3,800,000; navy invalid pensions, I $135,000; navy widows ami orphans, $500,000, and privateer Invalid pensions $1000. The City Cou oils of Washington to-day memorialized Congress to aid the construction of the Metropolitan Uailroad from this City to Hagerstown,and from here to the deep waters of the Chesapeake, the lutter twenty miles.— Tlie memorializers state that by a road to Point of Bocks, fifty-one miles of transporta tion, and in effect three millions of dollars an nually could be saved to the government.— The railroad Company furnish one-third or one-fourth the capital, and ask tlm govern ment to guarantee bonds for tlie remainder of tlie sum necessary to its construction, tlie cost i per mile not to exceed tilly thousand dollars. The point Is made lliat all capitals have sever al diverging railroads, and luchmond lias live, i Also that the navigation of tlie Potoinac is lia- ble to obstruction from natural or military i causes.

The Commissioner of luterual Revenue has made the following decision:—That morocco, goat, kid or sheep skins are subject to a single duty of four per cent, ad valorem, payable either when tanned, curried or finished. Un der tile provisions of section 75 of the excise law, by which building stone is declared not i to be a manufacture, is held that stone de signed foe building, whether rough, hewn or carved, is not subject to taxation, provided that articles manufactured from stone, marble or slate, such as fire-places and mantle-pieces, even though designed lor particular buildings, but which arc of such a nature that they might be introduced into the commerce of the country as articles of traffic, are subject to a tax of three per cent, ad valorem. Other manufactures of stone, marble or slate, which are recognized as articles of traffic, are sub ject to a tax of three per centum ad valorem.

Yesterday morning, when daylight appeared, the enemy seemed to be, as they no doubt were, perfectly astonished that our army had succeeded in returning to this side of the ltap puliauuock river. We returned without los ing a single man or a gun in the retrogade movement. A few soldiers who had straggled oil', made their appearance on the river bank alter the nontoon bridges bad been removed. but they were subsequently brought over safely in small boats. A lew privates who were guarding a house inhabited by a private family were not. during the night, aware of the crossing of the river, but in the morning became aware of this fact, and safely swam over. Tite pickets of the contending armies being separated by only a few yards, rendered it necessary that everything in our front should lie conducted with the utmost caution. The pickets on the outpost were unaware of the movement we were making, until just be fore daylight, when an officer went to each individual man, and in a low tone ot voice, or dered him to fall back. After they got suf ficiently far away to be out ol danger, they were ordered to quicken their pace and reach the bridges as quickly as possible. About 9 o’clock yesterday morning the enemy ad vanced their skirmishers along their entire hue, and by noon bail established their pickets near the bank of the river. We had a large number of dead on what was regarded as neu tral ground, and, as soon as it was known that our troops had evacuated the city, the soldiers of the enemy commenced robbing the lifeless bodies. This was plainly seen through a Held glass, as well as indistinctly by the naked eye. About 10 or 11 o’clock, ladies very neatly dressed were seen walking about the streets of Fredericksburg. They had doubtless been concealed in tbeir houses during the time the city was occupied by our troops, and doubt less availed themselves of the first opportunity to make their appearance alter our retreat. On Monday the pickets of the contending armies fronting the lell wing mutually agreed upon an armistice among themselves, and freely intermingled with each other, exchang ing their dead friends and comrades w ho lay on neutral ground during this time. A Gen eral of our army rode by and put an end to these pioceediugs. The result was that both parties immediately commenced tiring, when nine of onr men were killed. Alter the Gen r*.I I,-.1 i..o *1... *1.. our pickets were renewed, ami butternut and blue uniforms freely mingled. About this time Gen. Franklin despatched a flag of truce, w hich the enemy immediately recognized, and the exchange of dead bodies was resumed and continued until completed. Yesterday Gen. j Lee sent a Hag of truce to Gen. Burnside, ask ing him to detail men to bury his dead in front j of Gen. Sumner’s grand division. This was done. The wounded, with the exception of those whom the enemy obtained, have all been 1 brought to this side of the liappahauuock.and as rapidly as possible are ls ing sent to Wash ington. During the flag of truce, Gen. Stew- j art, of the rebel cavalry, in answer to a 2. The weather is cold with a northeast wind. Last night the enemy increased their iu treuchuieiils ou the terraces and in the rear of Fredericksburg; and threw up lifle pits near uie river on me leit ol the city. To-day their battalion drills were visible to tile naked eye on the plain. No movement of importance lias taken place to-day. Our troops are in excellent condition and as enthusiastic as previous to the late en gagement. Prom Fredericksburg-Rebels Bombarding Falmouth—Reply of Federal Artillery. New Yoke, Dec. 17.

Garibaldi to enter the military service of this country. Mr. Canisius not only as- sumed power not belonging to him, but also gave offense by indorsing Garibaldi's recent revolutionary movement against his own gov ernment. Mr. Seward mentions that the Pres ident did a year ago tender a command in our armies to Garibaldi, with the consent of the King of Italy, a fact which has not before been J admitted. The Springfield Republican says an j old paper manufacturer writes with great con tidence and enthusiasm of a new process for j reducing wood to paper pulp, which has been discovered by l’rof. Chad bourne of Williams and Bowdoin colleges. It depends upon a I combination of chemical and mechanical prin ciples, by which the woody fibers are alike j strengthened and separated from each other. S The process is pronounced by practical paper makers and patent examiners as entirely j unique, and quite certain in results. It in- volves no change of machinery, and no ad- dltional expense, except for the pulp machine, which will cost from fifty to one hundred dol- lars. If no unforeseen difficulty arises in work ing it on a large scale, it w ill reduce the cost I of paper pulp to less than one half its present value, or to some $40 or $50 a ton. The in- i veution is uow in the hands of one of the j largest and most energetic paper manufactur ers in the country, a patent has been applied for, and in due time the full value of the pro cess will be tested on a large scale. !T|r“ The tape worm i.« said to be trouble some In the army hospital.,, the red tape worm!

MISCELLANY. MARCIA ANDERSON'S REWARD. It was a cold day in November in tiie city of-. The wind sighed mournfully, and the sleet rattled against the windows, making a dismal sound. All nature seemed to he mourn ing the death of the flowers, and even little Marcia Anders011 sighed as she looked out of a window of her grand home, and thought how Ion" it would be before summer w ould come agaTn. And, as she gazed out upon fhe war ring elements, she noticed that a little boy, barefoot and ragged, sat upon the stone in front of the house. He was crying bitterly In an instant she had sprung from her chair. The next she was beside the lad, w ith her little arms around his neck. “What ails you. poor little boy?” she asked. “Oh, I am so hungry, and have nothing to eat. Mother and sister are starving, too. Mother can’t get any w ork, nor I can’t neither. Oh, I wish 1 could die 1” sobbed the boy. “Marcia! Marcia!” called a voice from with in. “There’s mamma calling me,” said the child; “she don’t like to have me talk to ragged chil dren but papa says they are as good as we are." “Marcia! Marcia!” was again called. “There, I must go. But 1 am sorry you are hungry, and I ain’t got anything for you to eat. Oh you shall have that bright silver dollar Uncle Joe gave me this morning. Here It is.” “Marcia, cotne in this instant!” “Oh, you are so good!” exclaimed the boy. “I will never forget you—never. He raised his great melancholy ej'es to her pitying ones as he spoke, and Marcia never forgot what volumes of gratitude were spok en there. A fashionably dressed lady now made her appearaucs at the door. “How dare you disobey me?” she asked of the trembling child, giving her a stinging slap upon her white shoulders. Then, catching her by the arm, she dragged her into the house anil closed the door, leaving the boy with throbbing heart and flashing eyes, and standing outside.

Fifteen years have passed, and Marcia An derson is alone in the world. Her fashiona ble mother had Iound an early grave, and her fother had become a bankrupt and died w ith •grief. Friends that once smiled on her, how knew her not. She was truly alone. One of her triends, a little more generous than the rest, had offered her a home until she could And another; but, alter a few weeks, she received hints that she was no longer wanted there; and, one day, when she went out in seareh of employment, she determined not to return to that house. But no one seemed to have anything for her to do. Night was coining on,cold and dreary. Old friends passed her without the slightest nod of recognition aud even he who was U> have been her friend and protector, bowed coldly to her. “And this is the world," she murmured— “when I could charm them with my gold, they were all smiles; hut, now that my gold is gone, they know me not. Arthur, too, is like the rest. O Heaven, sustain me in this tryiug mo ment T’ At that moment a tall handsome gentleman stepped tip to her, and asked; “Have I the honor of addressing Miss An derson “That is my name,” she replied. “Are you in search of a home and employ ment?” he asked. She looked up Into his face. It was a frank, manly one; she was not afraid to trust him, and she answered: “Oh, yes, can you tell me where I can And them!” “Yes. Yonder white cottage, with the green blinds, is not a stylish one. And there a lov- ing mother, a gentle sister, and a sweet little i cousin are ever waiting to greet you.” She looked up in astonishment and said: “I do not think I understand you rightly.” Miss Anderson,” he went on. w ilh enthusi asm, “once a very little girl gave a silver dol lar to a starving boy, and was punished for so doing. The food and fuel which that money purchased revived the starving family; and the next day he went out in search of employ ment and Iound it. Gradually, as the hoy neared manhood, their circumstanceschanged, until, at Inst, they found themselves in a hap py home surrounded by all the comforts and many of the luxuries of life. But deep in the heart of each is enshrined the memory of that angel: and her name is there, a household word, too sacred to be mentioned before the rude world. Miss Anderson, tlie boy is here, the mother and sister are waiting for you in the cottage yonder. Will you l>e my sister?” “I remember you,” she said, looking up into his face with a happy smile. “Heaven has in deed raised me np a friend: I will he your sis ter, but I will work with you, and will not be a burden to you.” “Well, if you most have employment, I have a little cousin whom you may teach when you have learned to love her for your own sake.” A few moments later Marcia found herself clasped in the arms of Walter Maryland's mother, who welcomed the orphan with true affection, and called her daughter Itnt wildM tlie bright eyed maid, April, came, dropping flowers at every step, and whispering sweet songs in the ears ol* tlie biids, Marcia had in deed found a mother ns well as a noble hus band, upon whose manly bosom she might lat her heard, and say she was truly blessed. Electioneering for Congress.—People In tlie North have no idea of tlie queer way in which electioneering is carried tin in New Orleans. In tlie First place John Smith, a grocer, takes it into his head that he will ruu Kir Congress. He then sends advertisements to all the papers to the effect that “tlie popu lar and eloquent Mr: Smith will be supported for Congress from the-District,” and signs it “Many Voters.” Smith then has several thousand cards printed, announcing that he is candidate, and sends them around to every body s place ol business. He also employs i some hundreds of lagged newsboys to take these cards througli the streets, and stick them in people’s faces. On election day he employs all the loafing politicians in tlie city to cany printed ballots, and to stick them in the laces of voters. Tlie politician enforced his request to vote for Smith by offering to stand treat, or by sticking a paper dollar into the face of the independent voter. In tins way Smith may happeo to be elected.—IN. O. i Delta. 1 How Pontoon Bigdoes are M ade.—Pon toou boats are flat-bottomed, thirty feet long, two and a half feet wide at tlie bow. and live feet wide at tlie stern, swelling out at the sides to the width of six feet. Each fits on a run ning-gear of four wheels, and is used as a bag- gage-wagon for the iiontoniers, carrying its proportion of string-pieces and of plank. On reaching a river the boats are unloaded, float ed across by* means of a cable made fast up thus stream, then the string-pieces are laid across from one i>oat to the next, and on those are placed the planks, each twenty feet long,which form the gangway of that width. It is a tine sight to see a regiment come to a river bank with a pontoon train, unload and launch their boats, moor them in a line, and in less than five minutea from the time, when the word to halt was given, have a bridge say a hundred feet in length, over which an army can safelv pass with artillery and baggage.

They seem to pass even common observation, ain^-et every part of the body is dependent upon them for life aud health. Poor Richard's Eye and Ear Water Is a new aud rare discovery, which is most wonder ful in its operations, putting to blush the old systems of treatment, which have quite as often done harm as good. Below we give the certificate of Rev. P. 8. H Sir sox, Pastor of the Broad Street Baptist Church, Philadelphia. If any one has doubt- as to the value of this remedy, they may learn more of its practical value by addressing a note of inquiry to Mr II. Philadelphia. Oct. 17,1*52. From injuries received in my right eye, when a boy, a chronic inflammation had been produced, in consequence of which I suffered constant martyr dom. Every moment of my waking life was embit tered, aud 1 was frequeutly unable to sleep at night. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, and I entertained the purpose, as a last resort, of having the ball takeu out of its socket, in I the hope of thus finding relief. In the meantime, most providentially, I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH ARD’S El E WATER. 1 had never beard ot it be fore, but determined to try it, and did, with the most delightful results. In a very few days the painful irritation w as removed; 1 could bear the strongest light, and went forth to the enjoyment of a new life. I now keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, I give it a dose, and that is an end of it. I would not be with out it for any amount of money. I take occasion to j *»y, ftirther, that my wife used to suffer severely at limes from protracted pain in and over her eyes End she has found Poor Richard s Ete Water a sor creign specific in her case, giving her almost instant relief. Grateful to God for the benefit that I have personally received, I cannot but commend the prep aration to all who have been sufferers like myself. P. 8. HENSON, Pastor of Broad Street Baptist Chnrch.
