HEFOit- TUE I FIGHT. A correspondent of the Now York Times before the fight from Burnside's army, sayi: It is a notable fact in military biatory, that though the crossing of a river in the face of an enemy is Jus.ly esteemed as one oi the most difficult ot taciicsl there te no exampte en record of the pas.age of a river being successfully difen.e- ag-i-ist a determined Napoleon croi-ei tL i Hanub-s at Hailing and at Wagrani, in presence of an array of 120 000 men, provided with 4tio pieces of cannon, and at a point where the bed ol the stream is broadest, may be owing to the fact that, on account of its very difficulty it is rarely without good hope of succe.s of -subdividing tbe force and dls- posing it over an extended hue, is of course an e'e- inent of weakness the defensive, while, if the lino should not be thus guarded, the force would all the time be exposed tt flank and rear ananlte from the enemy. D.pen. upon it, the rebel leaders are sensible of all the weakness, an well as of all the strength, of their pottiilon at Fredericksburg; and you map at any time expect to iearn that tbey have taken of toe opportunities before the operations of Gee. Huroside ere fully developed, to retreat, ere retreat is tendered perilous or They have already derived from their occupancy all ibe benefit lt is capable to afford them; they have delayed the army here now nearly three weeks, which is triumph enough for Fredericksburg.

As soon us tbey find themselves seriously exposed to a flunk movement which will bring on their rear, they will hasten to evacuate. Indeed, we know that already their chief force is not at Lurg itself, bat at Bowling Oreen, twenty miles South of thai pi which yon vill observe to be aig liik-au tiy placed with relation to the roads ieadipj obliquely South from what yon will perceive, from a topographical study of tbo map, to be the moat available point of an assault from this pte There is, therefore, good reason to hope tbat to na as a depot ef sup piles for hospital accomm.dationa, yet fall our bauds without any fatal encounter. It tbat is, If we do not meet and root the enemy, which it hia aim to p.event—we may rely upon being again mot at one or more poiu.s bstween Fredericksburg and Richmond. The next place selected by the rebels tor a stand will probably be the North Anna river, thirty t-Jles South of Fredericksburg, and about a mile and a half North of Sexton'a Junction We ehall have a stream hare equally formidable with the Rappahannock to traverse, at tha same that the strength of the rebel position, the ahortnei-ii cf thoir of conunonicatioo, and the length and exposed condition of outs, will work powerfully on the rebel aid- Relying, probably, on that same "want of enterprise" on our part, us whici Lee, to our shame, haa la.ely said be baa proceeded to many operations, they will expect to detain va at tbe Bonn for an interval equal to that which has kept ns at Fredericksburg. Aa the mala object of their macasuvres te understood to be to delay as bp aeeond-rate op-rations and sieges, until all tbe good weatuer shall bave bees exhassted, aad tba labor of movement shall have beea an hundred fold is crea-ed, thla will be la the direst lias of their present dosires.
