IT" Jon Printing of every description executed with dispatch; and all business pertaining to the of fice or paper promptly transacted on application as above Tuesday Morning, December 23, r j The Close or Saturday’s Battle— 1 What the General*taid and did.—The cor respondent of the New York Tribune, who vu with Gen. Sumner during the afternoon, and up to the close of the terrible engagement at Fredericksburg, and who had ample oppor tunity of hearing and seeing what was going on, thus describes what he saw, and what he heard from the constantly arriving aids and couriers to “the old war-dog,” who looked as If he was in the leash striving to get loose at the throat of the enemy: The old man looked anxious and fearful. Things were not going well with his command. For three hours his men had been fighting at fearful odds. They were much exhausted, Their loss was excessive, and nothing had been accomplished. Indeed, to the test of the ear, at the point where we were located, it seemed as though they were being badly pressed. The batteries had been brought down and planted at the head of the strsets. The troops were bugging the city closely to escape the fearful Are. “Where is Franklin?” was the eager in quiry. “Everything depends on Franklin's coming up on the flank.” Franklin’s position was plainly observable by the line or smoke and Are a couple of miles to our left below. He was making no nearer. At 8 o'clock an aid arrives from Gen. Couch to say that his (Couch's) troops were advanc ing Auely; but that Wilcox was not keeping up. “Tell Gen. Wilcox,” replies Gen. Sumner, “tell him he must make the Ninth Army Corps keep pace with the Second, if he can.” At 81-2 o'clock, Sturgis, who lias been clinging to the valley amiushowers of A re,is so hotly pressed that “he hardly thinks he can hold his own till Griffin comes up.” At 4 o'clock French reports that his right is j held by a brigade (Mason) which is without ammunition! Sumner sends a message beggiug Burnside that Franklin be directed to advance. But Franklin cannot advance. He has enough to do at this moment to hold his own, for Jack son has just thrown in reinforcements, and is pushing hard to turn his left. Meantime the reserves have not been touch ed. Hooker’s Central Grand—Division, Afty. thousand fresh men—have not yet been en gaged indeed, are yet mainly on f At* side of the river. “Tell Gen. Burnside that he had better, by ail means, throw some of Hooker's in.” Burnside replied that he 1ms directly or dered Hooker to go in, and that every man on this side of the river shall cross. Promptly the column is pushed down to the pontoon, Humphrey's Division of Bulter Aeld's corps leading. The wary rebels, sharp ly on the alert for the movement of troops, and having a battery or two admirably raised on the bridge, pour in the shells, and some what delay operations. Happily, though they fall all around the bridge, and kill some men on the banks, they do the structure no harm. Incase they dojltowever,a corps of pontooniers stand ready to repair any damage. At 4 o'clock Gen. Hooker, who had not yet been across the river, proceeded over, remark ing to a frit ml that he was “goiug to put this MUlllg VUIlMIgll. Iii half an hour prodigious volleys of mus ketry announce that Hooker, with the re serves, is engaged. This last assaulting col umn consisted of the divisions of Humphrey, Monk, Howard, Getty and Sykes. They had, however, hardly got fairly engaged before the sun went down, and night closed around the clamorous wrath of the combatants. At this time* Gen. Burnside, who had rc tnaiued all day at the Phillip's House, came dowu to the Lacy House; and, in the garden lacing tlie city, followed the progress of the fight. Externally calm, the leading player in this tremendous game was agitated by sech in tensity of feeling as one can conceive, and he paced the garden gloomy as night. “The crest.1' he exclaimed passionately, “must be carried to-night!” The brevity of time into which tlie stupend ous issue of the day had to be crowded seem ed to add redoubled energy to the fury of the combatants. Not “Night or Blucher,” as Wellington ex claimed at Waterloo, but rather Ajax's prayer for “more light,” was the prompting of every heart. Creeping up ou the flank by the left, Getty's troops succeeded In gaining the stone wall which we had been unable all day lo wrench from tlie rebels. Tlie other forces rushed for the crest- Our field batteries, which, owing to the restricted space, bad been of hut little use all day, were brought vigorously into play. It was the tierce passionate climax of the battle. From both sides two miles of batteries belched forth treir fiery missiles athwart the ilajk background of the night. Volleys of musket 21 were poured forth such as we have no par lei of in all our experience of the war, and! which seemed as though all the demons o earth and air were contending together. Rush ing up the crest our troops had got within a stone's throw of tlie batteries, when the hill-top 1 swarmed forth in new reinforcements of rebel infantry, who, rushing u|x>n our men* drove them back. Tlie turn of a die decides bucIi situations. Tlie day was lost! Our men re tired. Immediately cannon and musketry ceased tlioir roar, and in a moment the si lence of death succeeded the stormy fury of ten lious’s battle. As Gen. Burnside, turning, walked off through tlie garden, and mounting his horse galloped hack to the headquarters, what thoughts and feelings passed through his inindl” Re-Crossing the Rappahannock. How it was accomplished. [Corre«|>oiidciice of the Now y0rk Times.) The movement of the army on its withdraw al from Fredericksburg to the north side of the Rappahannock began at dark Monday night, and was successfully accomplished be fore daylight next day. All the alck and wounded were removed duriug the day to hos pital tents on this side, with the apparent pur pose. on the part of Gen. Burnside, of renew ing the light ou the afternoon of that day.— Those most seriously wounded were carried on stretchers and ambulances, while every one that was able to do so walked across. The middle pontoon bridge was chiefly used, that being more out of the range of the enemy’s batteries at the lower part ol the town. Gen. Burnside inspected the position of the troops in the afternoon, in the town, and was greeted with cheers which must have been distinctly heard in the enemy's lines. Activi ty throughout every department indicated that a battle was imminent. The enemy’s batteries kept up a regular tire upon the up per crossing, in order to retard the passage of the troops. The surgeons were ordered to be in readiness to receive and care for a large number of additional wounded, and red flags were displayed on the tops of many of the large houses in town, which were to be used for temporary hospitals. The withdrawal of our troops from Fredericksburg had, however, been determined at a council of ail the corps commanders during the day. It was regard ed aeorge B.

THE DAILY PRESS. POBTL.AND, MAINE _ __—1 Tuesday Morning* December 23* 1862. The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city.___ j The Cabinet and the Battle oi Fredericks burg. The Washington correspondents of the Phil- j adelphia and New York papers give al! sorts of rumors relating to difficulties in the t abi- net and alleged resignations, most of which appear to us to be mere speculations, without any foundaiion in fact. It is undoubtedly j true that Mr. Seward tendered his resignation, and probable that Mr. Chase did. but it docs i not appear that either of them have been ac- j cepted by the President. Oftr telegraphic re ports from the Agent of the Associated Press at Washington, will undoubtedly give us tire true state of matters. In the meantime it is only necessary to say that one, or two, or three resignations of members ot tire Cabinet will not by any means break up tlie Government nor the Administration no. not even the resignation ol the whole Cabinet. People will do well to bear in mind tire rupture in the Cabinet of Gen. Jackson in 1830, when the old hero was determined to have a unit, and when those who did not choose to resign were j unceremoniously turned out. There was no delay or disturbance in the administration of j the government at that time, and, will not be now. General Burnside, it appears, is prepared to assume the entire responsibility of the disas trous attack at Fredericksburg. The nation will pardon much to bis energetic patriot ism. to his disposition to serve the country in this hour of need by action. The HepubHc is not lost, nor are the people disheartened. This government will be saved if mortal effort is j equal to the task, and the pitiful, yelping eow- ards, who have been whining and wringing j their hands,and hunentingthe misfortune which I would appear to have Involved these powerlul States in sudden, overwhelming ruiu, may ns well suspend their ulnlalion for the present. The nation is not dying, ami if it were—is it better to die like men, or like hounds? New Publications. Thf. Results of Emancipation. B.v Augus tin Cochin. Translated by Mary E. Booth. Boston: Walker, Wise Co. 12 mo. pp. xiv. 412. For sale in thiscitv by II. Packard, 01 Excbauge street. M. Cocliin, the well knowu journalist, for j many years a contributor to tlie Journal ties Debate, and now edltor-in-chiel' of La Cores pomlanee, the organ of the nuti-Xnpoleonic 1 party in France, is about forty years of age. Iu the prime of life, this man, win se leisure secured by an ample fortune has always been devoted to Hie solution of practical questions in thoroughly practical ways, lias written a w ork, L' Abolition rec ords liear on Ids subject; and better still, that he has known and associated familiarly with men who have been conspicuous in the prog r ass of the great reform of w hich he lias be come the historian. Such is the work of winch the first volume c ontaluing the Results of Emancipation, is now presented to American readers. The gift is timely. Among all nations called Christian,on ly the United Slates of America (the Southern United States, as M. Cochin is accustomed to say with just discrimination) and Spain are now slavcholding. In this country slavery has become an outlaw, to suffer death if taken, and if not taken to starve—at any rate to die! Thai is the doom, which uo man nor pat ty eau avert. Whether this Union, for which so many lives have been cheerfully oflered. shall lie restored or pass away in shame and sorrow, whatever in the future is uncertain, the doom of slavery is fixed. There is the one fact of the years that are coining, and it behooves us to consider well whatceonsequences flow from that liict, what have been and therefore what will be the results of emancipation. Tliis century litis witnessed the gradual re striction of the range of this gigantic evil, till at hut it turns at bay on this continent. Let us look at a Tew eloquent figures. The slave trade was abolished by England in ISO"; by the United Slates iu 1808; by Deumurk, Por tugal, and Chili, in 1811: by Sweden in 1813; by Holland and France in 1815: and, last of 1 all, by Spaiu In 1822. Slavery itself was abol- ished in the English colonies in 1834; by Swe den in 1840; by Denmark, Uruguay, Wallu chia, and Turn's, in 184"; by France in 1848; by Portugal iu 1856; by Kussia in 1861; and by Hollaud on the 8tli of last August. What steady progress do we behold here—how silent for the most part, but sure! This is God’s way, as He makes the corn grow while men are sleeping. And the results? M. Cochin deduces from the statistics which measure the results of these successive acts of emancipa tion, by the severest methods of strict science, this striking conclusion: ‘‘Slavery is not a necessary evil; always censurable, it ends by not being useful. God has established unison between all things, and the science of {solitical economy holds the same language as morality.” For a second time a Frenchman lias written a book which every thoughtful American will desire to read. The interest in De Tocquc ville's great work has been augmented by his recent death, inviting attention to his deeds and words.

We hope none of the wouuds will prove fatal, though the hope is very slight of Sergeant Stewart and Private Patterson.” Gen. Butler is just at present one of the best abused officers in the service. Here is {Secretary Seward's reply to the squeamish protest of the British government against his famous order respecting tlm New Orleans women: I answered hint that he must a-k his govern ment. in reading that proclamation, to adopt a rule of'construction which the British nation had elevated to the dignity of a principle, and made the motto of their national arms "Hunt soil qui mat y pease.'' That it was not until a gross construction of the order was brought to tlte know ledge of this government that we saw that the proclamation contained u/i double entendre. That gross meaning the government of course rejected, and it regretted that in tire haste of composition a phraseology which could be mistaken or perverted had been used. 1 w as happy, however, to inform him that all sensibility about the order seemed to have passed away, and no complaints were now heard of any impropriety of conduct on the part of the ladies of New Orleans. I ex plained, also, to Mr. Stuart, the ground of the sensibility of our army to female discourtesy. Our soldiers are mainly young American citi zens of education and respectability Chival rous respect to the sex is a national sentiment. Hitherto it has been met by a gentle and re spectful courtesy by those to whom the hom age is so properly paid.—[.Wr. Seward to Mr. 1 Adame, July 0,18*32.

Burnside's Official Report of the Bat tle ol Fredericksburg. IXeadql ahtf.us Abmv of Potomac, Falmouth, Vu.. Dec. HI. j To Moj. Gen. llalleck, Gt nernl-in-( 'hirf S. Army :—General:—1 have the honor to of fer the following reasons for moving the army of the Potomac across the Rappahannock sooner than was anticipated by the President, Secretary of War and yourself, and lor cross ing at a point different from the one indicated to you at our last meeting at the President's. During my preparations for crossing at the place I had first selected, I discovered that tiie enemy had thrown a large portion of Iris force down the river and elsewhere, thus weakening tiis defences in front, and I also thought I dis covered that he did not anticipate the crossing of our w hole force at Fredericksburg, and I hoped by rapidly throwing tiie whole com mand over at that place, to separate by a vig orous attack tiie Ibrcea of the enemy on tiie river below from tiie forces behind and on the ■rest in the rear of the town, in wldeh case we ould light Dim with great advantage in our iiivor. To do this we had to gain a height on the •xtreine right of tiie crest, which height com nanded a new road lately made by the enemy or the purpose of more rapid communication long Ids tines, which point gained.his positions dong the crest would have been scarcely tena ble, and he could have licen driven from them ■asily by an attack on his front, in connection with a movement in the rear of the crest. We should have accomplished our object lint for the fog and unexpected and unavoidable ielay in building the bridge which gave the ■nemy twenty-four hours more to concentrate tis forces in ids strong position, in which case .he battle would have been more decisive, in ny opinion, Ilian if we had crossed at tiie place first selected. As it was, we came very near success. Failing in accomplishing the main object, we remained in order of battle two days, long enough to decide that the ene my would not come out of Ills stronghold to tight us w ith his Infantry, after which we cross ed to this side of tiie river, unmolested and without the loss of men or property. As the day broke our long line of troops were seen marching to their different positions, as if going on parade; not the least demorali zation or disorganization existed. To the brave officers and soldiers who ac complished the feat of recrossittg the river in tiie face of tiie enemy, I owe everything—for the failure in attack I am responsible—as the extreme gallantry, courage and endurance shown by them was never exceeded, and would have carried the points had it been possible. To tiie families and friends of the dead 1 cau only offer my heartfelt sympathies, but lor the w ounded 1 can offer my earnest prayers for their comfort ami Until recovery. The fact that l decided to move from War i rentnn to this line, rather against the opinion of tiie President. Secretary of War, and your sell, nml that you leu me whole movement in my hands, without giving me orders, makes I me responsible. I will visit you very soon, and give you more definite information, and finally I w ill send yon my detailed report, in which special acknowledgment will I* made of the services of the difierent grand divisions, corps, and general and stall' departments of the army of i the Potomac, to whom I am so much indebted for their hearty support and hearty co-opera tion. I will add here, that the movement was made earlier than you expected, and after (lie President, Secretary of War. and yourself, re quested me not to lie in haste, for the reason that we were supplied much sooner by the dif ferent staff departments than was anticipated when I last saw you. Our killed amounts to 1,152; our wounded to about 9,000, and our prisoners to 7orate work on the Basque and Finnish languages.

The following melo dramatic account of the busi ness is certainly true to the French character, and possibly true in fact*— His majesty has a ihealer attached to his palace at Compiegne, ami always has a company of the best actors j during his sojourn there. While they were lighting up the theater one evening, the chief of the police discovered three suspicious look ing men iu a corner of one ol the boxes.— “Whoare you?” a-ked the chief of the police. “We belong to the secret police, anil are sent here by the orders of the chief, Monsieur B.” “Ah, you know M. B-? Gentlemen, be so good as to show what you have about you. Revolvers, eh That is what I expected.— Gentlemen, I arrest you. Le chef (le police c'e$l moi!” Case of Commander%Preble.—We are informed that the paragraphs which have with in the last few days been published concerning the case of Commander Preble, and its refer ence to a Board of Officers, convey several erroneous impressions. The Board was not ordered at the instance of Com. Preble, or of his friends, but was the suggestion of the Sec retary of the Navy, and gained the reluctant consent of Com. Preble, who did not consider it the full.and fair investigation he asked, but hoped it tvould lead to that result. The in structions to the Board limited them to the examination of Preble’s reports, all other evi dence of Admiral Farragut, or the officers of the Oneida being excluded, and the Board was induced to report only on one particular point. The question whether his dismissal was just and merited never caine be foie them. There is good reason for believing that had that question been asked, they would have recom mended his restoration to the service.—[Na tional Intelligencer, Dec. 19th.

The public have long beeu in want of some conve nient, safe and beneficial deutifrice which could be relied on as having a healthy and preserving effect on the teeth and gums. Hundreds of worthless prepar ations have already been offered as such in the forms of powder, pastes and IhjuuIs, when a trial has only proved them injurious to the enamel of the teeth, or so indispensable to tlie preservation of the teeth. The Sozodont is offered with all confidence as a Beautificr and Preserver of the Teeth, a scientific combination, every ingredient of which is known to have a benefi cial influence on the teeth and gums, imparting a de lightfully refreshing taste and feeling to the mouth, correcting all disagreeable odors arising from decay ed teeth, use of tobacco, 4c.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. City Affairs. In Boabd or Mayor and Ai.deb- I men, Dec. 22d, 1SH2. f A license was granted Henry S. Burgess as Auctioneer. The report of N. F. Deering, Esq., President of the Widow's Wood Society, respecting the distribution of tue “Clapp fund” for the year 1801-02, was read and placed on llle. The re port states that the fund, amounting to $240, was distributed among 200 widows. A communication was received from A. Merrill, Esq., stating that a claim had been lodged with him, for collection, against the city, by Mr. Joseph X. Patridge, for damages sustained by him in falling into a cellar-way in Silver street, on or about the 17th ol No vember last, and asking the attention of the City Government to the same. The petition was referred to the Committee on Judicial Proceedings. The Joint Standing Committee on Damages for grading streets, to whom was relerred the petition or various persons for damages caused by the grading of Smith street, reported that there he paid to:—James Wynne, $25; W. S. Philbrick, $100; John Spencer, $120; A. C. Means and W. F. Haggett, $40: Win. F. Ilag arty, $50: Holt Ingraham, $40; George H. Burr, $40; Simon J. Lewis, $50; Charles A. Warren, $25; John C. York and Samuel Lewis nothing. The report was accepted, and au order was passed lor paying the above named amounts. A. IV. Lovcjoy was appointed Undertaker. Petition of K. K. Hunt et als., lor the re moval of Washington Hook and Ladder Com pany from Franklin street to the building on Congress street, occupied as a hearse house, was referred to the Committees on Fire De partment and Cemeteries, &c. The Joint Select Committee, to whom was relerred the petition of John Edwards, for damages for being run over by an engine on the sidewalk on High street, reported in favor ot paying him the sum of $75 in full for all damages sustained by him. The report w as accepted, and an order was passed, in concur rence, to pay Mr. Edwards that amount. j Adjourned to Monday, January 5, 7 1-2 o’clock P. M. I Habeas Cotters Case.—In the U. S. Dis trict Court yesterday, before Judge Ware, John Francis St. John was brought up on a writ of habeas corpus, petitioned for by his mother, who prayed for his discharge from en listment, on the ground that lie was but six teen years of age, and that he never had the consent of his parents so to enlist. The boy enlisted with Capt. Dooley, and was in the camp but one day and one night. Ilis name Was returned to the City authorities as one entitled to receive the bounty and subsistence offered by the city, though it did not appear that he had ever received either. He was re ported at Augusta as a deserter, and was with eight others arrested last Thursday by the Police of tliis city, and turned over to Provost Marshal Daniel Elliott, Esq. The others were uucen to Augusta, out a writ ol Habeas corpus was Issued in liis case. It was contended by counsel for Govern ment that his father had given his consent to the enlistment. This was testified to by C'apt. 1 Dooley. On the other hand, Ills mother testi- I fled that her husband said he would leave the whole matter with her, and that she never gave her consent Judge Ware thought the weight of evidence was that no consent had been given to the boy's enlistmeut, and lie or dered him to be discharged. Howard Strout for petitioner. George E. B. Jackson, Assist ant U. S. District Attorney, for Government Death of Another Aoeii Citizen.—Our venerable fellow-citizen Benjamin Radford, Esq., departed this life at his residence, on Pearl street, Sunday evening, at the advanced age of nearly 88 years, alter a brief illness of six days. We believe he was the oldest male citizen here, with the single exception of Elius Thomas, Esq., who still survives at the age of 91 years. Probably no person in this city has suffered so little from sickness during his life as Mr. Radford. He could not remember the time when he had suflered from an illness of two days. Up to within a period of one week preceding his death, he was about the streets as active and hearty as a man of sixty, and he attended church on Sunday, the 14th instant. The next day he was attacked with pleurisy, which all medicine failed to remove. The de ceased was one of our most respected citizens, j and was the oldest member, in standing, in the 1st Baptist Church in this city. Railroad Accident—Narrow Esc ace The Grand Trunk passenger train, due yester day at two o’clock, was detained aliout two hours from two causes. The first was, the freight train broke au axle, which detained the passeuger train for more than au hour and a half. The second cause liked to have been a fearful one. Just before approaching Pre sumpscot bridge, the hind axle of the tender to the engine broke. One of the wheels was thrown off the track, and the other ran under the train of cars, lettiug the rear of the tender down upon the track. In this couditiou the train was dragged across the bridge before it could be stopped, but fortunately the cars kept upon the track, and the only injury sustained was that to the tender. The train was stopped soon after crossing the bridge, and some of the passengers saw. witli a shudder, how near they had approached to a frightful accident. Trade with the Socth-West.—We no ticed yesterday a large number of eases di rected to St. Louis, Missouri, and upon enquiry found that they were from the establishment of John Winslow Jones, who has recently re ceived orders for 250 cases of meats and soups, as prepared and put up by him. These eases go by the Grand Trunk and llliuois Central Railroads. Mr. Jones has been doing an ex tensive business iu the preparation of meats of all kinds, soups and fresh vegetables, aud the demand for them is now greater than ever before. So great has been the demand for his green corn, tomatoes, and other vegetables, that it has almost exhausted the large supply he prepared and put up. jy-The following eases have been sent by express to our soldiers at the various points located and the Sanitary Committee: 8 cases to 17th Maine Regiment, care of Col. Roberts; 3 do J. W. Hathaway, Washington; 1 do 20'h Maine Regiment; (i do U. S. .Sani tary, Washington; 2 du Hon. E. B. French, President Maine Association, Washington; 1 half barrel do; 2 eases Mrs. Eaton and Fogg; 1 do R. R. Caller, U. S. Hospital, Chester, l'a.; 1 do Frank Howe, .Yew York; 1 Col. Nicker son, 14th Maine Regiment; 1 do Capt. C. B. Shaw, 9tlidu; 1 do Y. E. Relief Association, E. T. Houghton, from Ladies Committee, Portland; 1 N. Hatch, U. S. General Hospi tal, West Philadelphia. Railway Traffic.—The receipts on the Graud Trunk Railway for the week ending Dec. 13th were $103,901.14 Corresponding week last year, 80,537,08 Increase, $17,304,00 ty-we learn that a letter was received front Washington yesterday, stating that Col. Francis Fessenden, of the 25th Maine Regi ment, was dangerously sick at that place. 23^“Schooner Henry, Capt. Myrick, sailed from Boston for Uouldsboro Saturday. Site put into this port yesterday, all hands on board being badly frost bitten. Personal.—Gen. Caldwell, who was twice woumled at the battle of Fredericksburg, passed througli this city yesterday on his way home to East Machias. Military Promotion.—Among the recent promotions in the Maine regiments, none has afforded us more gratification than that of Or derly Sergeant Frank G. Stevens to a Second Lieutenancy in Co. E, 2r>t!i Regiment. Lieut. Stevens is a brother of the meiiila-rs ol the firm of A. E. Stevens Co., of this city, who, as merchants and men, nre an honor to the community. In joining the army Lieut. S was moved not only by a patriotic regard for his country—for its maintenance and prosper ity of the entire I'nion—but also by a cher ished desire for the service itself. Calm, skill ful, determined and amiable, he secured tiie respect of his brother officers, and the willing obedience of the privates in his command. However skillful and brave an officer may be, if he lack the element of good nature, he or dinarily fails of success. The military service, like that of a shipmaster, may be a severe test of disposition; but “he that ruleth his own spirit” invariably conquers, and “is better than be that taketli a city.” The selection of such men for officers, from the highest to the lowest grade, is the crowning glory of our army, ami a guaranty of final success. £F“At the annual meeting of the Horti cultural Society last evening, the following pe.’sous were chosen officers for the ensuing year, viz: President—T. C. Ilersey. Vice Presidents—Sami. Rolf, X. A. Foster, J. 11. Brown. Jcdcdiah Jewett, Geo. F. Sliep ley. Corresponding Secretary—John W. Dana. Recording Secretary—S. II. Beckett. Treasurer—Abner Lowell. Executive Committee—T.C. Ilersey, Abner Lowell, Warren Sparrow, S. B. Beckett, Geo. W. Woodman. Committee for Establishing Premiums—X. A. Foster, T. II. Cook, B. Greenough, Joshua Maxwell, A. Dirwauger. The following premiums were awarded by the Committee on Garden*: To T. C. Ilersey, Esq., for the most econom ically managed, best cultivated and most near ly kept garden and grounds, $12,00. To Samnel Rolf, Esq., for the most econom ically managed, lR*st cultivated and most neat ly kept fruit garden, $10,00. rEKwxAi..—vs e were much gratified yes terday on receipt of a letter from our old friend Harry \V. Gardner, formerly of the MainC'ttd Regiment. hut lor some months a member of Franklin's Signal Corps. His friends in this city and State will Ik- equally pleased to hear from him. He is now stationed at the headquarters of the- left grand division >f the army, near White Oak Church. The batili- at Fredericksburg had transpired when le wrote, and he represents the feelings of the soldiers at the result as one of intense disap pointment. Young Gardiner has won his po sition by manhood and bravery,of which char- j icteristics no soldier possesses more. jyThe Albion Restaurant, kept by Mr. G. D. Miller, No. 117 Federal street, is con- itantly supplied with the liest oysters that can he procured in the New York market, together sitli all the luxuries our own market affords. Meals can be had at all hours of the day. BY TELEGRAPH -TO THE EVEMiYCi PAPERS. I

Prom Tenuessee.—Rebel account of the re cent light. Nashville, Dec. 21. Morgan was reported in force at Hartsville Friday night. Preparations are made for him. Geil. I). Stanley followed Sharply with cav ilry to iiural Hili, but found no signs of any :uemy. To-day we have reports that Morgan crossed he Cumberland in strong force at Rome. No 'ontlrmation yet. A rebel detachment with artillery threw d«>ut fifteen shells, yesterday evening, where hey supposed our pickets were. Gen. Van •leve sent a force after them. They skedad lled. Twenty reiiels in I'.S. overcoats, undertook o surprise Col. Stanley’s escort of cavalry of welve men, and were badly handled. Stan ey's men fought severely, wounding the rebel ommander, killing two or three, and chased lie enemy home. This afternoon Stanley's brigade was at acked while foraging. The enemy were again epulsed, three or four of them killed ami as nany wounded and six were captured. The emainderof the skirmishing during this week vas in our favor. Reports continue to exaggerate the re 1m*I trenglh. 70,(XX) is a very big estimate. A 'oiifirmation lias been received of the rein brceineut of tlie rebels by Van Dorn. The Richmond Examiner says:—Summing ip the recent tight, our right wing drove the meiny back, killing three to our one, and at light we held the ground occupied by the •nenty’a batteries in the morning. I*, says Mingst reet’s victory was more complete. He Irovu the enemy into the streets of Kredoricks >urg. The Richmond Dispatch says Gen. Sigel has tot more than 1.1,(NX) raw levies.

Complete official .returns of our losses at Fredericksbutg foot up: Killed 1128; wound id lilUO; missing 2U78. The Times says Secretary Seward yesterday noruing dually conseuted to resume Ids Port folio. and Secretary Chase has resumed his position, under advisement, and Ids decision will lie announced to the President this fore noon. The Herald learns from Baltimore, that the rebels are supposed to i>e moving large bodies of troops west. There are literally no troops of any account at Richmond, or on the Penin sula. Lee lias 75,000 at Fredericksburg, not a man more,except guetrillas. There are no other troops in Virginia, unless it lie 15,000 at Petersburg, but there are 40,000 at Charles ton, S. C.,:10,000 at Savannah, and 25,000 at Mobile. Tlie great strength of tlie Confede racy is now lieing concentrated towards Nash ville and Vicksburg, at each of which points will he in a few days 100,000 troops. Gen. Saxton not removed.—Secretaries Bew ard and Stanton. New Yoke, Dec. 22. The Tribune states on the best authority that the rumor of the removal of Gen. Saxton from iiis command in South Carolina, is without the least foundation. The Times' Washington dispatch says Sena tor Wilson stales he lias been assured in the most explicit manner by the Secretary of War, that Secretary Scwurd had nothing whatever to do witli tin- expedition of Gen. Banks, and it was in the highest degree unjust to hold him responsible for it. An army letter in the Herald states that Gen. Sigel's forces are said to he on their way to Fairfax Court House. From North Carolina. Newuehx, Dec. 16. Admiral Lee has issued an order reprolutting tlie granting of permits to vessels entering at Beaufort, N. C., to trade in iuland waters of North Carolina, which lie regards as a block ading region. Recent Nortli Carolina papers are full of complaints at the order of Gen. French, direct ing the burning of all cotton in counties bor dering on the Roanoke river, which is not moved west of the Wilmington Weldon railroad by the 15th. Tlie Richmond Examiner of the 12th states that the small pox now prevails there as an epidemic. Ranks and Fessenden. Washington, Dec. 22. There is a w idespread desire to have Gen. Hanks appointed to one of the departments, but his absence may seriously interfere with that part of the volunteered programme. Senator Fessenden's friends express the opinion that ho will promptly decline the State portfolio if offered to him. 8Y TELEGRAPH. TO THE Portland Daily Press. XXXVII OONGBESS.—Second Session.

Mr. White, of Indiana, from the select com mitte on border States emancipation, asked leave to report a bill appropriating twenty millions to aid Missouri in emancipating her slaves, and that it be re-coinmitted to a select committee. Agreed to. 77 to 33. Mr. Wilson introduced a resolution, instruct ing the committee on Judiciary to inquire whether the Mr. Kennedy who wrote the re cently published letter to Jacob Thompson is the same w ho now holds the office of .Sui>erin- tendent of Census. Mr. Cox objected, saying it was known that Kennedy still held the otfice. The House passed a bill to supply the defi ciencies for the year ending June next. Adjourned. New York Market. New York.

FROM WASHINGTON. General Burnside’s Resignation not Ac cepted. Proceedings of Congress. Reward for Deserters from Navy. Washington', Dec. 22. The Intelligencer says it having been stated that Gen. Burnside hail tendered the resigna tion of his command, we think it proper to mention what we understand to he the fact, that the President has not accepted the resig nation, and it is believed does not intend to do so. Among the recent nominations for post masters are the following: Nathaniel Low at Dover, X. II.; Emerson Hall at St. Johnsbury, Vt.; Daniel Kellogg at Braltleboro’, Vt. A communication was sent to the Senate to-day from the War Department in answer to a resolution ot inquiry relative to chartering certain worthless ships for the Banks expedi tion, in which it is stated that the hulls of the steamers Thames and Niagara were inspected by an official designated by Commodore Van Brunt, the engines by au officer designated by Gen. Banks, accompanied by nit indignant protest against the condemnation of the Thames liv her owners. The protest against the bill to indemnify the President and others for certain arrests under the suspension of the habeas corpus, was drawn up by Representative Pendleton of Ohio, and those who signed it had voted against the bill. Tlie bill agreed upon by the House select committee on emancipation, is substantially that recently introduced by Representative Noel! of Mo., for facilitating emancipation in that State, and appropriating $20,OiX),000 for the purpose. The Navy DepartmentoiTerurewardof $100 for Michael Reardon of New York, Acting Second Assistant Engineer, who deserted from the Montlcello, and $50 for Jeremiah Reardon, who deserted from the Delaware. Acting Assistant Surgeon Charles S. East wood has been ordered lo the ship Shepherd Knapp. Items from Southern Papers. Rebel Killed and Wounded in the late Battle. Union Prisoners at Richmond.

Nov. go, 1800. My Dear Peterson:—Tlte time has come when every man who loves his stale and coun try i» required to take his share of the respon sibility and perform his share of duty. My al legiance is due to tlie state of Mississippi, and her destiny shall Ihj my destiny. I believe she ought to resist, and to the hitter end, bluck republican rule. 1 hope our statu will call a convention to provide new guards for our fu ture safety, and, in tlte event of a call of a con vention, 1 want, if 1 gan, to lie a member of that convention. 1 want to go as a member from our county, and l want you, as my friend, to sec our friend Hovey (or-) and uur friend Lamar, and if our editors arc friendly to me, 1 want you t'> see them, and make such a call on me, through the columns of our pa pers, as to make it apparent that it is my duty to come liotnc and make common cause with my state. Difficulties accumulate upon us here. As long as 1 am here I shall shield and protect the South. Whenever it shall come to pass that I shall think that 1 can do no further good here, I 'hall return to my home. Bu chanan is the truest friend to the South I have ever known lrom the North. He is a jewel and a man. But my duty now is w ith the South. I want the cooperation of the Southern stat es. Geography makes separate and isolated action by Mississippi an absurdity. I have some influence in our Southern sister states.— 1 wish to do nil I can to secure their sympathy and cooperation. A contederation of theSouth eru states will be strong enough to command the respect of the world, and the love and confidence of our people at home. South Carolina will go: I consider Georgia and Flor ida as certain; Alabama probable. Then Mis sissippi must go. But I want Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, anil Ma ryland will not stay behind long. 1 tear Ken tucky even more than I do Missouri. 11’ we are not too hasty and violent, these States will all unite, because it will be their interest and their honor and feelings to do so. As soon as our mechanics, our merchants, our lawyers and our editors look the matter in the face, and calculate the consequences, they will see their interest so strong in this movement that I fear they will lie violent beyond control.— Tlie successful unresisted installation of Lin coln is the beginning of the end ot slavery. The North is dependent on the South for its prosperity. The South is not dependent on the North for anything necessary to its ma terial welfare. My dear sir, I have written in confidence.— I wish yon to let me know whether I am for gotten at home. I believe Tom Pegues is my friend. Write me soon and write me every thing. Your friend, J. THOMPSON. P. S. You can see Thomas and William Thompson also. My engagements are so con stant I cannot write much. J. T. MISCELLANEOUS. HO LI I)AY GIFTS. HALL L.

The Danger of Fire fiiom Hot Air. Mr. Anderson, surveyor of the King’s Co. Insurance Company, has been induced to put forth the following warning, by the recent burning of the Orphan Asylum in Brooklyn: Brooklyn, Nov. 11th. Dear StR,—By placing the following before the public, you may save many lives, and a large amount of property. Having surveyed the Free Academy, corner of Lexington ave nue ami Tweuty-third street, N. York, last tall, I found the leH air registers in the floor and wainscotting too near the woodwork, and that it would take tire. I told the officers so, and informed them that the wood should be cut out, ami map*tone or iron inserted in its stead. Tile officers had it removed, and they found the wood burnt as I had told them, and it only wanted air to set the building In a blaze. It would have got air in a short time, as it was nearly burnt through a 1 1-2 inch plank. The President was pleased to acknowledge to me a short time after that 1 had saved the Institu tion from being burnt down. Now, sir. I sur veyed the Roman Catholic . MERRILL. JOHN BOND. 8. D.

Every moment of my waking life w as embit tered, aud 1 was frequently unable to sleep at uight. A variety of remedies had been resorted to with out success, and 1 entertained the purpose, as a last resort, of having the ball taken out of its socket, in the hope of thus tiuding relief. In the meantime, most providentially. I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of POOR RICH ARD'S EYE WATER. I had never heard of it be fore. but determined to try it. and did, with the most lelightftil results. In a very few day* the painftil irritation was removed; I 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 aunoy me, I give it a lose, and that is an end of it. I would uot be with >ut it for any amount of money. 1 take occasion to lay. ftirther, that my wife used to suffer severely at lines from protracted pain in aud over her eye and he has found Poou Richard's Eye Water a sov ereign specific in her case, giving her almost instant elief.
