It recroised JUonday night, silently and safely, dur ing the storm. There is no possibility of misunderstanding this movement and we '.hope there will be no attempt to cover it np by any senseless palaver about strate gy. The army was badly defeated iu the great battle of Saturday, and in its weak ened condition, with . a , powerful enemy entrenched in front and a river in i its .Tear, its position was not a safe one. De feat in such a position would have been destruction. 1 Several bold attempts were made in the battle of Saturday to uarry 'the rebel eutrenchments by assault, but our men were repulsed with great slaugh ter.;, Gen.' Buruside doubtless became convinced that we could not drive the en eray from their positions except by such a sacrifice of our troops as could not safe ly be risked.

The pontoon boats were launched upon the Rappahannock opposite ' Fredericks burg, at 4 1-2 o'clock on Tuesday morn ing. The bridges were nearly completed when a galling fire from several hundred of the enemy's sharpshooters was opened upon the men at' work. Twenty of our men were wounded at the first fire, among them Capt. Br&inard of the 60th New York. At the second fire Capt Perkins of the same regiment was killed, and Cnpt. M. Donuld severely wounded. The bridge was then abandoned for the time. Our butteries then opened and kept up their fire till noon. From 12 to 3 there was a cessation of firing, when our butter ies again opened on that part of the city nearest the river.

Thw had mnvcA Pimtinnslv in arlranee of rapidly filled them with twenty-five or j thirty each. The firsfc boat pushed off. Now if ever, is the rebels opportunity. Crack ! crack 1 crack ! from fifty lurking 1 places go rebel rifles at the gallant fellows, who, Btooping low in the boat, seek to avoid the fire. " The murderous work was well done. Lustily, however, pull the oorsmen, and presently, having passed j the middle of the stream, the boat and its gallant freight come under cover of the opposite bluffs.. Another and another boat follows. Now is their opportunity. Nothing could be more amusing, in its way, than the re sult. Instantly they see a new turn of af fairs. The reuels pep up by tho hundred, like so many rats, from every cellar, rifle pit and stone wall, and scamper off up the streets of tho town. With all their flectness, however, many of them were much too slow. With incredible rapidity the Michigan and Massachusetts boys swept up the hill, making a rush for the lurking places occupied by the rebels, and gaining them, each man captured his two or three prisoners. The pontoon boats on their return trip took over more than a hundred of these fellows. Yon can imigino with what intense in terest the crossing of the first boat-load of our men was watched by the numerous spectators on the shore, and with what en thusiastic shouts their landing on the op posite side was greeted. It was an au thentic piece of human heroism, which moves men as nothing else can. The problem was solved. This flash of brav ery had done what scores of batteries and ions of metal had failed to accomplish. Gen. Burnsido seems to have outwitted the rebel commanders. By sending some troops ani trains of empty wagons down the river towards Port Royal, he . made tho rebels suppose that he meant to cross at that point Tho wagons came back by a different road, but large forces of the rebels remained on tho watch at Port Royal. Jackson's division is believed to have been there. On Friday morning, Hampton's rebel cavalry captured Dumfries, a town about half way from Washington to Fredericks-.! burg. : Ihey cut the telegraph wires, car ried off the operators, and paroled a num ber of officers who happened to be in the place. , Later in the day, Gen. Stcinwehr, in command of Gen. Sigel's advance, at tacked the rebels aud a fight ensued.

In a few moments the artillery fire extended along the entire lino. Tho L'd U. S. artilcry, Capt. Ran son ; Cooper's battery of Pennsylvania re serves, ana others, made ana received a severe attack. The skirmishing was kept up as our lines advanced, and tho posi tion of the enemy in the woods was al most reached. Scattering musketry fire continued from the first advance, about 9 o'clock, till noon, with occasional lulls. The cannonading was heavy and severe. Now came the most successful and de termined effort on this part of tho line Tho attack was made from the point of intersection of tho angle formed by our lines. This point was nearest to the woods, and the enemy's shells were full in, thickly about it. Gibbon's division and the Pennsylvania reserves advanced boldly 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 tho breastworks of the enemy. The works were carried, many prisoners captured, and the crest of the hill gain ed, not however, without a heavy loss. Gen. Gibbons 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, possessed the streugth to concentrate overwhelming numbers of fresh troops upon the threat ened point, and for all the valor of those who survived, and all the Hacrifices of those who fell, the position had to be abandoued.'and our troops were compelled to fall back to tho plain.

It continued to storm all day with a cold northwest wind the snow at night being three inches drep, very muddy of course. We came down on thu cars to Alexandria ; arrived there about three o'clock, p. ra.; the storm un abated ; got out of the cars, and, in the mud. started for the old camp. I left the second Lieut in the car with three men. to guard the baggage. They sWycdall night without any fire. I told the 1st LjcuL to mapell the mc to can an(j j Jn to gge , help them along. We had about two (miles to march. It stormed so hard that it wet my rubber coat through on the shoulders going that distance. Imagine yourself marching up a long hill, in the mud, ankle deep, with your feet cold and wet, in u bleak wind : then to think of going into the woods or rather brush, in a thick fog, with the snow loaded on to every branch so that tho trees rcre white from top to bottom ; without any shelter, or any means of building a fire, with lit tle to cat and no way of obtaining more; knowing you must stay in this coudition until your tents could be drawn up. setup, and arches built in them ; wet and hungry tilt the timo. with the thermometer furbe low freezing point, and perhaps you would think wo needed sympathy. 1 will tell you how we got along through the night In the first place I went by way of the 2th ; borrowed annx ; went over to camp, aud found the boys consulting what to do. 1 said we would go into the woods, and off we started to a fine grove that I hud seen before, about 1-2 mile distant. Ev. cry limb was bowed towards the ground and the wind had blowu the snow under the boughs. The rain fell in such tor rents that the water ran from every branch; therefore no protection there. It was at this time about dark. We cut down some trees so that tho water would not ran from them on to us. After abcut tw hours work we had a large fire buruing. It had stormed all the time, and frozen on to our backs, but at last wo took our rubber blankets and what pieces of tents wc had ; hung them up on tho windward side of pur fire, which broke the wind off some. Then we ate our supper, which consisted of salt pork and bread. I did not have any dinner that day. and for ray supper I ate a small piece of pork and a loaf of bread which weighed twenty two ounces.
