Rhodes) flanked Hooker from Fredericksburg. Stonewall Jack-sen's entire com ma ml, led by Jackson ro person, got to the i enemy's rear late on Saturday evening, and commenced the attackiratnediately. We were soon closely engaged and drove the enemy pell-ihell down the plankroad. The fight continued 'until twelve o'efock at night with fearful slaughter, and the surrounding'1 woods were lit up with the blaze of artillery and infantry fire. This fight was terrific- but Sunday 'wa the awful day.

We have lost many men, killed and wounded. Lane's brigade was badly cut up. Having a heavy breastwork and battery to charge, it made four charges before it was taken. Various other charges were made by regiments composing this brigade, in which they suffered severely. Thos.

J. Purdie of the 18th, was killed. Col. E. Gv Haywood of the 7th, CoL M.

Mayhew of the S3d, and W. G. Morris of the 87th, were wounded. Over half of the officers of the line of the 7th, 18tb, 33d and S7th are killed or wounded. The wonnded in this regiment four cor held their ground, until near day; and at early dawn of the holy of the fight began on both ends of the Ijneand by eleven o'clock the had ceased.

On the upper end of the line, near. Chancellorsville, the were badly whipped, and were in full retreat towards tRe river. On the Idwer line, near Fredericksburg, however, they had succeeded in carrying Heights, and were rioting in the wild excess of joy. They had stormed, they said, the Gibralter of America, and their route to Richmond was plain and easy, little remembering that they had hurled a column of fully ten thousand upon one regiment in froAt, and thus gaining the rear of the rest of Barksdale's brigade. But the best laid schemes of men and mice gang aft whilst the Yankees were felicitating themselves on their splendid successes, and imagining themselves to be in the rear of otar army, Gen.

Lee was so manceuvering as to meet foe enemy, who were now throwing themselves forward from the town on the plank road. About four o'clock on Sunday evening, McLaw's division, including Wilcox's brigade of' Anderson's division, met the advance column of the Yankees, under Gen. Sedgwick, at Salem Church, four miles beyond Fredericksburg, on the plank road, and our line of battle was formed at right angles with the plank road. The battle here raged for about two hours, but the Yankees were repulsed with considerable loss, including some five to six hundred prisoners. Our line on the telegraph road, meantime, had been formed at Smock's, about three and a half miles.

Richmond papers of the 9th, instant, publish the ASBBESa OF GE2V. TO HIS ARMY. Ph'e following appropriate address has been is-issued by Gen. Lee to the gallant army under his time of Hooker's advaace with the finest army on the planat to his hurried retreat beyond the by which he saved his beaten anddls pirited legions from total destruction "Nearlv a week has passed, since the great battle was fought, and yet no full or consecutive account of it has oeen obtained. The main facts, however, are not known.

All statements that seem authentic may be briefly related. Hooker's first object in crossing the Rappahannock above the town was to get in the rear of Fredericksburg. His -second aim was to prevent a flank attack on the left by the Confederate who, he supposed, would march up the banks of the river ti cut his army at the fords. Hence, he determined; to cross. the Rappahannock above, the confluence with the Rapjdan, to march through a portion of Culpepper, and passing the latter river at Germanna and Ely's, to keep nis communication hip, the Rappahannock on his left flank, and the Confederate army and Fredericksburg always in front of him.

On Tuesday week his troops were drawn up in full array on the hills of Stafford, in view of the town, pontoons' thrown over, and a strong, detachment sent across at Deep Run. This -first step 'was a mere feint to distract attention. Next day his army disappeared, and the detachment was withdrawn, while the main body passed the rivers above in the order stated. Still believing that Lee's onset would be made close to the river, and on his left flank, he rapidly strengthened that part of his line inning 01 aming onward to victory. Indomitable, mdefati-able, patient, prompt to strike, full of resources, lever at fanlt, he was absolutely invaluable to the tuse.

Gen. Jackson, did flank them, after all but it was the right flank that nearest Richmond not the left flank, which Hooker had carefully guarded with a river and field works. General Jackson appears to have turned the Yankee line somewnere beyond the Court House, and penetrating to the wilderness, a creek between Culpeper and Spotsylvania, got partly in their rear.

Attacked by the rest of the Confederates in front, while Jackson's corps camie. down from the wilderness, the finest army on the planet, commanded, though was, by General Judas Hooker, was shortly defeated wtth great slaughter, dislodged from all the positions around Chancellors, doubled up on itself and pressed down in confusion to the banks of the Rappahannock. In this condition thejr rout and annihilation were nearly certain, could the attack have been continued as commenced. But the Confederate victory appears to have been marred by the news from Fredericksburg. A part of the army, supposed to have been sufficient, had been' put to guard the old heights back of the town.

Hooker had left a large force said to have been two full corps on the opposite hill, under an old regular officer, General Sedgwick by name, always bete and commonly swimming in whiskey. What orders he had, "whether to pass when the sound of cannon announced the engagement at Chancellorsville, or to wait till a message was sent him, we do not yet know. It may be assumed, however, as certain that his important part in the play was to pass the river and "carry the crest" 1f possible, while fcee had his hands full of Hooker, and then rush. upon his-rear.

It is gratifying to know that most of our wounded are but slightly injured, the number of flesh wounds in arm and band greatly preponderating over those of a graver naturei The enemy's loss is variously estimated at from twenty to thirty thousand killed, wounded and prisoners.

Of the latter we have taken from seven to ten thousand. We have captured fifty odd pieces of artillery, and more than 30,000 stand of small arms. Our army is being reinforced either for "a forward movement or to.repel an advance of the enemy, who is lso receiving heavy reinforcements. Fant H. A.

Hooker, though having the choice ot position, did not act offensively after crossing, but fortified and threw himself on the defensive, thus forcing our men to contend against him in this fight against vastly superior numbers, aided by breastworks, fortifications and obstructions of all sorts. But they were of little avail Jackson turned their flank and fell upon their rear.

And Jackson's boys did. their work with all their might and main. They charged faster over the battle field than they marched to it, and their cheering as they drove the enemy before them broke upon the air with fine, inspiring effect, and told too plainly that our men were terribly in earnest, and were fighting for home, lo manhood and indfeaencti. Trf-sweli a tuSr were worse than base not to strike heavy blows for freedom and the right Hooker expected success. He had planned well but General Lee has proved himself more than a match'for him, and his splendid army now lies a part dead on the south side of the Rappahannock, a part wounded on its north bank, and some here, too, and a large part of the advance is already near your city.

Hooker had drawn every man from the fortifications, and came prepared with eight days rations i. eight days hard tack; three days cooked meat and eight days cattle in a herd and eight days coffee. Hooker made his men a speech, telling them he had advantage of position and was bound to go forward all that he asked of them was to fight He had summoned every maa from the fortifications, and had uncovered Washington, and must have put into the fight from firat to last, not a man under one hundred and fifty thoosand. The bravery, fortitude and endurance of our men in all of these engagements cannotf be too highly praised or too gratefully remembered by the country. It would seem invidious to make special allusions where all fought so well, but it is due to candor and truth to say that the troops of MpLaws and Anderson were oftener engaged tnan any other troopo, they being engaged in fighting and marching almost without intermission for rest or refreshment, from Thursday night until Tuesday morniag, a period of four days and nights.

While tm D. II. Hill's old division, commanded by Gen. Rhodes, and Trimble's division, led by Gen. Colston, Early's division, led by Early himself, and A.

P. HHl's-men under their favorite leader, the country is indebted. The cavalry, too, claim a share of this glorious work, for while the infantry were thus being engaged, one brigade under Fitzhugh Lee met the enemy near Spotsylvania Court House and succeeded in whipping and driving back to Chancellorsville, certainly two bri-ades of cavalry, and perhaps four, killing the Colonel'of the 6th N. Y. Cavalry and two Captains, and taking some sixty prisoners.

The battle fieldf which reaches from Fredericksburg to a point above Wilderness, same twelve miles up from town, and out to the river, with the exception of about two miles between Salem and Zoar churches, tests the skilful aiming and deadly destruction of our artillery. The Yankee dead andvounded are strewn over the entire country. Yet had it not4ave been one of the most thickly wooded sections of land in Virginia, the Yankee loss wotdd have been far greater Over this same" field of 'battle are scattered, in immense quantities, blankets, overcoats, canteens, knapsacks, haversacks, cartridge boxes, and any quantity of rifles, muskets, and various other equipments of the soldier. Our boys, however, found but little to eat. The Yankees had welt nigh de vdured the commissariat, still a good quantity of hard tack, jrith shine good cooked meats and coffee, were found in the Yankee haversacks.

We also captured some freshly slaughtered meats, and some corji and oats all of which are quite valuable, and just the articles we heeded Fredwicksburg, on this occasion, did not suffer severely as she did before, though the Yankees managed to steal a good deal. Private bouses, I believe, were in no instance entered, where the families were present, and the town was not shelled, nor were any citizens arrested or carried off in the town. A few were arrested outside, but in every I believe, they were rescued by. our own soldiery.

As his army is a beaten army, we were not surprised to hear- last night that, he had chosen the latter alternative, and retreated while still able." The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer gives the following minute and interesting account of the several battles from the first m'ovement of the enemy below Fredericksburg Wednesday evening He says: This movement can hardly be said to have been a feint. It would be perhaps more proper to speak of it as a movement designed to co-operate with the "main attack at Chancellorsville, or it it possible that' this force was left in front of Fredericksburg to prevent a rear movement on our part; which, if successful, and the river once crossed by our troops, at a point naar town, "their access to the railway could have been cut off, and their base of supplies rendered useless to tHem. To guard his rear and protect his base, the force, which aftewards operated offensively, was at first intended to act defensively, in all probability.

How it afterwards acted on the offensive, and succeeded in carfying by storm Marye's Heights," can probably be explained by the fact Hooker had been hard pressed and whipped in the fight of Saturday and Sunday morning at Chancellorsville, and made this in order to create a diversion, and enable him cover his retreat. Chancellorsville having been the real point of battle it will be the most, fitting to treat of it first On Thursday evening Anderson, who was holding a position in froDt of the United States Mine Fopdy twelve miles -aTjwe Fredericktburg, ascertained that the Yankees, nutnbering five army dorp, with at least eighty thousand men, crossed the Rapidan at Kelly's and Gerriiana. Fords, having previously crossed the NdHh Fork of' the Rappahannock at Ely's Ford, in Culpepper County, and were advancing down the plankroad. General Anderson at once fell back to Chancellorsville, and took up a line of battle in front of the plankroad, and extending to the river, and reaching over towards the old Catharine Furnace. Gen.

Anderson, however, having too small a force to hold the enemy at this point, fell back to a position some four miles below Chajicellorsville, and-frootjng the old mine road. On Friday mornjgw Gen. Anderson was re inforced on the right by Ofen; McLaws, and on the left by Gen. A. P.

On Friday night bur forces, rested fully two miles beyond the ground occupied by the Yan kee forces on the previous evening. The forces principally engaged thus far in this quarter, belonged to Semmes' "brigade, of McLaas' division, and Mahone's brigade, of Arfdersn's division. Saturday morning wore away withoufcimportant results.

There was some artillery firing ana little Skirmishing, but the engagement did not become general unl about five o'clock in the from which hour the fight raged furiously until about eight o'clock. Jackson, at this time, had thrown a force on their upper flank, and was driving them fiercely down upon out lower line, which in turn, was hurling them back, and rendering fu tile all their efforts to break through our lowar lines, and making it necessary for them to -give back towards the river. There was an intermission in the firing from eight o'clock until about nine. Byt from nine until long past midnight the sound of artillery and avail urns was well nigh deafening.

The York World of the 7th, acknowledges Hooker's defeat and his retreat to the North' bank. It says Lee's being heavily reinforced again prevented a victory. Sedgwick's retreat began at midnight, but was discovered by theitebels wha played horrible havoc on the pontoons, killing and wounding a large number.
