THE POSITION, The public Interest It completely absorbed In """" th eTentt t Frederlcktbur j. At Ibit present nrltlng, cur latast dispatch It that sent from the field at 11 o'clock yesterday forenoon, at which hour the battle of the pre ceding day had not been seriously renewed It hat been constantly reported, that donlo the time of the battle, opinions were divided among our officers, at to whether the enemy would light at Fredericksburg, or retreat with out lighting to tome point nearer Rich .nnnd, or to Richmond Itself. The consequences to the rebels of a defeat at Fredericksburg, and especially of any defeat approaching the character of a rout, would be mod damaging. A distance of nearly sixty miles separates them from the fonlflcailons of Richmond, which they could not, In tuateycut expect to reach without a lose of, perhaps, half their numbers, and of nearly all their material of war. On tha other hand, they had this temptation to light at Fredericksburg, thst If decisively rlclorlous, they might expect to destroy our army, which now has a deep rlrer In Its liutne. dlate rear. It la obrlous that riew of this kind must hare influenced the rebels, and, Indeed, this Is positively proTed by an article from u Richmond paper of November 24, which wc print on our outside, and In which this advan tage for them of lighting at Fredericksburg Is distinctly pointed out and Insisted upon. Thus, then, relying upon the strength of their position not unreasonably confident that the bravery of their troops would prevent de feat and forced retreat from degenerating Into a rout, and foreseeing the advantages tu be reaped from any marked success the rebels decided to abide the Issue of the battle on the banks of the Rappahannock, which was fought on Saturday, and It la not Improbable that they may also have decided to risk a repetition and continuance of It. The indications of jester day forenoon were decidedly that way, but the rebel leaders are so apt In masking their move ments, and In doing one thing while they term to be doing another, that It Is impossible to predict their movements with any rertaintv nnv. r at. Mntrair.!. This able Senator, who represents the loyal people of Maine In tha Senate of the United States, made a telling speech In that body, the other day, on the resolution Introduced Into the Senate, maklne Inquiry of the Seeretaryof War why certain persons hate been restrained of their liberty. His rsbnrke or Senator Powell Is thorough, pointed, manly, and, what Is more, that Senator merits It by his conduct. A man aympathltlng with the Government of the United Statea aa thla man aympathlres with that of Jefferson Davis, could not lire an hour In Richmond. Yet thla Senator Is permitted to hold his seat, draw his pay, while his heart and sympathies are all with the South and with tha rebellion. Such men thould be denounced, and Mr. Morrill doet It In the following terse and pointed manner i Now, Mr. President, let me advert to some of the current history of thla country In Ulna, tratlon of what I am aaylng. The honorable Senator from Kentucky seems to take the lead la denouncing the President and the Govern ment. It Is not new with him. Let me Illus trate the subject somewhat by reference to his own State. What la the condition of Kentucky? He stands here to tell you that at least 5,000 of the citizens of Kentucky hare been, first and last, arretted by this Administration and re strained of their liberty, most of whom hare since been aet at liberty. Now, sir, from what we know of the current history of Kentucky, what Is the Inferenco 1 What is the inference the honorable Senator would have the country draw ? That the President has arrested so many lojal Union loving citizens, all patriots! That is w hat t he honorable Senator would give ua to un derstand. Now, what Is the probability! I have reason to believe that three out of every four of the able-bodied men of Kentncky, the men of war, are In the rebel ranks fighting the battle of the rebels agalnstthls Constitution, against this Government, and against the anthorityof the President Whatlstbelnfercnrefromthatt Do we not know that Kentucky, from the begin ning, his been a nest of traitors ? Do we not know that nobody has been left In Kentucky except the old men and the women and the children? Do we not know that all such who could light, and could get out of the State, have Joined the rebels ? Under such circum stances, tho Senator from Kentucky cornea here to ask the commiseration of the Senate and he himself, from the beginning of this rebel lion down to the present time, has stood here to denounce tho Government, stood by the aide of his late colleague, who denounced It from the beginning to the end of his career here, until he marched over to Join the ranks of re bellion, and now heads a brigade agalnat the Government of hla country. 1 honor the man- llnrs of the man who follows the logic of his on nlont and the 10EIC or Lis teachings. and goes where he belongs rather than linger to adrocste the cause of those who are fighting agalnftthe Government of their country, and who has no word of denunciation whatever to wards men who are In arms against the Govern' down to now , no word has escaped that honor- The peneral lmrtraailnn vnnftm hv Ilia rii. nhla nnattr ilannnetAtm-Tnf thaanemlp nf his nf Ffttnrdiv. as indri nf i h rt-t.ncr .1 ,.

During yesterdav, Gen. Burnslde received re inforcements from Gen. Slgel, the probable ex tent of which It would not be prudent to state. A not less important circumstance, Is the fact that our troops, who have behaved admirably throughout, were fall of courage and epirlt, and ready, and even eager, to renew the battle.

He left our front yeaterday by the Franklin bike, -with a strong force of (Cavalry, and disturbed the enemy early In the day, fight- stood here to denounce the authority of the Government, to denounce coercion, aubjuga tlon, and all that sort of thing, as unconstitu tional, Illegal, without authority of law, a usur pation. I oiiowing lue logic oi tucu opinion, he must, of courte, denounce the President, ana denounce all measures calculated to restore the supremacy of the Government and to maintain the Federal supremacy everywhere. It does oue good to read aucb sharp rebate of traitors at such a time as this, when these men In and out of Congress are doing all they can to overthrow the Government. Mr. Mor rill's Wom sore well laid on, and Uie aubject of them ought to al!nk away with Breckinridge and Join the rebels. It Is his proper place. Maine may well be proud of her two noble Senators, and may well rejoice that while ehe has aent thirty thousand of her aona to the battle field to meet the rebels in fierce atrlfe, she has also men In Congress able to meet the conspirators against the Goverument In the councils of the nation.

The fact that thla place of amusement has been filled six nights In the week for more than a contlnuoua year, and that, too, rrgardleta of the condition of the atreeta and weather, la quite sufficient to ludl- i ate the remarkable attractiveness of the per formancea.
