The battle was Hespereialy eontested, and at the close of the day the advantage appeared to be on our side. . If the rebels do not retreat, to-morrow will Witness the bloodiest battle of the century. To-night reinforcements are beiug thrown into our weak points, and several regimepts what were held in reserye all day have been brought forward to take part im thy coming struggle. Gen. Jo.

When within musket range of the base of the ridge (hey were met by a terrible fire from the rebel infantry, who were posted behind a stone wall and some houses on the right of the line. This checked their advance, and they fe’ back toa small rayine, but not out of musket range. At this time another body of trosps moved to their assistunce iv splendid style, notwithstand- ing gaps were made in their ranks by the rebel artillery. When they arrived at the first line they double-quicked, and, with a command of fixed bayonets, endeavored to dislodge the reb- els from their hiding place. fire of artillery and infantry which they were forced to face wus too much, and the center gave way in dicorder, but were afterwards | rallied and brought back. From that time the re wasspiritedly carried on, and never ceased until some time after dark. Gen. Franklin, who commanded the Atrack on the left, met with better success. He suc- ceeded, after a hard day’s fight, in driving whe enemy about one mile. Atone time the rebels advanced to attack, but were handsomely re- pulsed with terrible slaughter, and a loss of between four and five hundred prisoners, be- longing to Gen. A. P. Hill's command. Franklin’s movement was directed down the lines, and his troops are encamped w-night not tar from the Massaponax creek. Our troops sleep where they fought to-da: andthe dead and wounded are being carried from the field to-night. The following is a liet of offlvers killed and wounded, as far as known. Gen. Jackson, of the Pennsylvania Reserves, killed. Gen. Bayard, struck in the thigh by 2 piece of shell, and after wards died. Gen. Vinton, wounded in the side, but not seriously. i Gen.

The firing of musketry ceased abont six o'clock, but the rebels continuea throwing shell into the city until eight.

THE FIGHT OF SATURDAY. further Particulars—The Rebels 200,000 Strong—List of Casualties. FREDERICKSBURG, Dre. 13, a. m.—It is ascer- tained that the Rebel force is nearly. 200,000 strong. Jackson commands the Rebel right, extending from (#7 inney’s Station to Port Royal. Longstreet has the center, extending from Guin- ney’s Station to the telegraph road. Lee and Stuart are on the left. A despatch dated last night says :—General Franklin's line was moved forward at sunrise, with his right resting on Fredericksburg, his center advanced a mile from the river and his left resting on the river three miles below. Sxirmishing commenced about daylight on the | left. Soon after a Rebel battery opened on our lines, and the Sth New York Militia was or- dered to charge, but, after a fierce struggle, was compelled to retire. The remainder of the bri- gade, under(ieneral Tyler, then charged the enemy’s guns, when the fight became general on the extreme left. Generals Mead and Gib- bone’ division encountered the right of General A. P. Hill's command. The cannonading was terrific, though our troops suffered but lite from the enemy’s ar- | ulery. Gradually the fight ex*ended round to the right, and Gen. Howe’s division went into the fight, followed by Gen. Brooks’ division. The following is 4 list of casualties: Killed—Lieut. Col. Dickinson, comananding the battery of the éth U.S. artillery. Wounded—(ten. Meagher, in the leg; Co}. gent, 69th New York, badly: Major Jen- ninge, 26th N York: Capt.

Humphreys, company D, 72d Pennsyl- vanin, elbow. About 10 o'clock Gen. Sumner'’s froopsen- , gaged the enemy bi k of the city, since which the baile raged furl usly along the whole line, the enemy occupying the woods.and hills, and | baving 4 much more advantageous position, | bat were driven back on their right a mile and | a halt early in the day. Gen. Gibbons was relieved by Gen. Doutle- day, and Gen. Meade by Gen. Stoneman. Af- | terward* Gen. Newton's Divison moved round | to the support of the left, when the firing ceased for a short time, and broke out with greater flerceness on the center, where our troops were exposed to & plunging fire from the egemy’s guns and earthwork on the hill along the wBole line. The battle has been flerce a1) day, with great loss to both sides, The concentrated | Gens. N. P.

Gen. Bayard was «truck in the hip bya solid shot while conversing with Gen. Franklin. His right leg was amputated, but he cannot survive. Several hundred prisoner: weretaken, a arenes that Gen. Lee's entirearmy isin the { vicinity. j _ Gen. Hill's troops etarted down the river this morning, but returued. Gen. Franklin was opposed to-night by Gen. Jackson. THE FIGHT OF SATURDAY. Up t 1.30 p.m. the fight was eo variable ne that it was not kBown which side had the ad. vantage.

The fight will probably be renewed to-mor- Tow. Our balloon has been up all day. About dark our forces carried the crest of the day, trying tw take the firet ridge-back ef the wn, en which ihe enemy's Gret line of werks was situated, Until Iete in the day tt seemed impossitie 'o do so, but the perseverance and unfi courage of the Army efithe Potomac at last pre- vailed.

BOMBARDMENT OF FREDERICKS- BURG. {From Correspondence Philad*iphia Ing uirer.} FREDERICK RG, Dec. 12—As fast as our troops arrived Fredericksburg they were at- tacked in the streets by the retreating Rebels. Our forces drove them from street to street and house to house. The whole of Gen. Sumner’s Right Grand Division crossed over this morning, complete- » blocking up the upper part of the town, his immense force presented a grand and im- posing appearance as they marched over the double pontoon bridge. Only a few guns were fired during the early part of the dyy, it being so misty that it was Impossible to get the exact range of any one given point. The enemy fired 9 few round shot, which phynged te mmud in the rear o: whe Bacy or Fitzhugh pa ty. During the morning our pickets and the Rebels kept ap a liule firing. now and then exchanging ts. Gen. Frankiin aleo crossed his forces and at- tacked the right of the Rebels with his batw- they, in return, endeavoring to give them a plunging fire from their batteries on the heights. About noon, and jate in the afternoon, the enemy »pened their batteries on our right, en- deayoring to injure our troops as they were crossing, without doing grea: ln one battery they had -ix guns popping away Witu ereat rapidity. On the left of this town is ® branch known as Hazel Run. Ourengineers were throwing three bridges over it to-day, near the Rappa- hannock, for the purpose of connecting our lines. The enemy soon got'a hint of this work, and endeavored to stop our ings with « furious shelling, which did no good whatever. Our forces have been extended oul some aif roile from the river, ready to meet any attack. It is eaid by both farmers and ere thi the enemy have at least 80,000 fighting men: the remainder that gotowards making up the iGO. Which they claim are sick or camp followers. Of this force, 30,000 are down at Port Royal, where they expected we would cro=s ou ac_ count of the ruse made by Gen.

The remainder (50,000) are somewhaf®n our right, and ii ae ree ported that while we are writi thi . they are moving down on-Cench scorps. if they lo, no doubt but they will meet with a Warm reception, as our men are awaiting an attack. Almost every house jm the city has ben pierced with our -hell and round shot. Some twenty families remained during all the bom- bardnient, Lucy seeking protection ia the cellars. During the heavy firing yesterday some females were observed haying ite fags; this was the cause of one of the lulls of which we spoke in ® previous letter. Several of ovr tired and hungry soldiers solicited lodging last evengpr, to rest themselves, of one of these families, and they were flatly refused; they would not even let them sleep on their floors.
