A general advance was ordered, and a strong line of skirmishers followed by a de ployed lino of battle some ten miles in length. At the signal of the leader (shots from the head-quarters on Orchard Knob) they moved rapidly aud orderly forward. The rebel pickets discharged their muskets and ran into their rifle-pits. Our skirmish ers* followed on tHeir heels. The lino of bat tle was not far behind, and wo saw the gray rebels swarm out of the ledge lino of the rifle pits in numbera-which surprised us, and over the base of the hill a few turned and fired their pioces ; but the greater number collected into the. many roads which cross obliquely up its steep face and went on to the top. , ! , Somo regiments pressed on and swarmed up the steep s.dos of the river. Here and there a color was advanced beyond the lines. The attempt appeared to he most dangerous, ; but the advance was suported, and the whole lino ordered to storm the heights, upon which i not less than forty pieces of artillery, and no one knew how many muskots, stood ready to slaughter tho assailants. With cheers answering cheers tho men ftwarmed upwards. They gathered to the points least difficult of ascent, and the line was broken. Color after color was planted on the summit, whilst musket and cannon v united their thunder upon them. Orchard Knob «xphided a rebel caisson on the symmit, and the gun was seen galloping to the right, its driver lashing his horses. A party of our soldiers intercepted them, and the gun was captured with cheers. A fierce musketry fire broke out to the left, where, between Generals Thomas and Sher man, a mile or two of tho ridge was still oc cupied by tho rebels. Bragg left the houso iu which lie had held his head-quarters, and rode to tho rear as our troops crowded the hill *»n either side of him. General Grant proceeded to the summit, and only then did we know its height. S.mie of tho captured artillery was put into posi tion, artillerists were sent for to w».rk the guns, and caissons wore searched for ammu nition. The rebel log breastworks were torn to pieces and carried to tho other side of the ridge, and used in forming barricades. A strong lino of infantry was formed in the rear of Baird's lino, who was hotly en gaged in a musketry contest with the rebels, to tho left, and a secure lodgment was soon effected. The other assault, to the right of our cen tre, gained the summit, and the rebels threw down their arms and fled.

Mr. Editor: With much pleasure I seat myself this day to express my views with regard t.i the recent election iu Delaware, for Representa tive to Congress. Never were we, as a budv, so much deceived before, as now ; as for my self, knowing foil well of the number of troops from our little State, l would have thought that the poor old played out Charley Hromi might get a majority in some ono of the several districts, if not a'county, llut I would most respectfully advise him to retire and never expose his' ignorance again. 1 think it is high time, that the blindness in our State caused by copper , was restored to light. When Brown saw clearly a defeat staring him in the face. This dick could not hear h up, he remained motionless ; thus he acted the part of a rascal and a coward. Why did he not stand his ground ns every man sh add do, and as the lion.

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE HUN DRED. Centrkville, Dec. 1st, 1803. Mr. Editor : As you are aware of the fact that the Hon. Charles Brown died on tho 19th ult., would inform you that wo, the Union men Baltimore Hundred, paid the last tribute respect to his mortal remains. As due cour tesy is expected to attend the exit of a mortal body from this cnrlhly pilgrimage, und as American citizens, we could not htand idly by without proving ourselves bereft of a worthy brother. Poor Charlie died about five o'clock in the evening, and we accordingly with all duo respect to tho occasion, and in sympathy to his many friends, buried him bcneaU the cold, cold sod, from which it is expected he will reach an honorable position in a more remote Hall of Legislation than that of the United Stales of America. As lie is now gone, I would say in the words of the poet, " Let him go." But another theme has occurred in our midst which would ho well to lay before the public which is in substance as follows: On last Friday, a Copperhead crew, styling them selves a riding party, attended with a Brass Band from Maryland composing eight per formers, and quite a number of citizens, form ed themselves into a funeral procession and proceeded from one end of the huhdred to tho other, in order to make a more pompous dis play over tho fate of their pet lamb of Tintlei' box notoriety. The hand discoursing music throughout tho occasion—but being careful not to play any National airs, as they would perhaps have somo tendency to retard the happy journey of poor Charlie ; or it might have awakened him from his eternal slumbers, thus causing a divulsion of the mystery uccted with them one hundred and ninety dol lars. The procession was under the leader ship of the Hickory -man who is a man of medicines.
