Sumner's head- quarters that there were ten thousand wounded then in Fredericksburg; which, though doubt- less a great exaggeration, indicates strengly that we lost mere than five thousand, as few or none of those wonnded on our left wing—Frank- lin's potition—where the contest was quite as Reavy as elsewhere, had at that hour reached there. Nearly all the ground we gained as the re- sult of the fight was abouta mile on the left wing. The right rested Saturday night about ® quarter of a mile from the town, on the first ridge We regret to have to say. thatat noon yester- day the umpression prevailed @¥ redericksburz that the enemy's loss had been far less than ours,-owing tothe security of their po-itious nader weeds and behind their works, from the cover of which they scarcely ventured throngh- out the days engagement.

At about four p. iu. ine rebels Aired thirty-six shells in about six minutes, doing no damage whatever. We believe this statement to embrace all that vecurred in the course of the day, in the way of an engage- ment. GENERAL BURKNSIDE’S DISPATCH. The version of General Burnside’s dispateh 9 the President, bearing date yesterday at tour *. ™., which some of our city cotemporaries have published, embraces a very grave mis- saae. He did not etate therein that he had (on Saturday) carried «-the first line of the enemy's Works,” but the ridge opposite the town. On this ridge, if we ure uot mistak: n, the enemy bad made rifle pits.

On Thursday afternoon, Decefmber 1th, as the Jacob Bell, Freeborn, Anacostia, Resdlate, 7) SS Cur ituck and Cour de Lion wero laying of Port Royal, about 4o'clock in the afternoon, the rc bels opened on them from batteries behind * the town, and the boats being unable to get a good range from where they were, dropped down in front of the town and returned the fire, gome of the shot'complrt:ly riddling some " of the houses, (The rebels say eleven were de- stroyeg.} The firing was very rapid, andlasted about two hours, when the enemy ceased firing, and the gunboats dropped down the river about one-and-a-half miles. struck very near our boats, but no damage was dene them. On Wednesday evi ning Iss! as the Cutrituck was going by Brandywine farm, on the Rap- pahannock river, which the following boats were lying: Free- horn, Yankee, Satteiite, Cwur de Lion, Jacob | Beli, Teaser and Wyandank—the rebels opened | a fire on her from a large battery on a hill, said H to number over thirty guns—P-pounters and ; pound Parrots—which was retarned, and the Currituck proceeded up the river and re- joined the fleet, but hardly had she came to before & terrific fire wis opened on the fleet | from the same battery. The liftie Teazer immediately ran_in to han! out the schooners Sarah Minge and Kadesh, which were lying within range of the guns, but before they were reached a shot struck the Mirge, and wounded Capt. Simmons, of the Kadosh, who has sinee died. Capt. Sheridan, however, brought out the echooners in gallant style, and the fight commenced in earnest; the shot falling like hail among the gunboats, who threw back a perfect storm, of shot. The only boats struck were ‘the Teaver, which had her smoke-stack guys cul away, and was other- wise injured by the three shot whigh struck her, and the Currituck, by a shot which went in her hull, about twenty imches below the water line and reveived a percussion shell which passed through her starboard quarter into the, engine-room, exploding and danger- ously wounding two men—H. F. Smith, who has since died, and Jeremiah Dayly, and two others slightly. Oneoft the Teazer’s men was slightly wounded. ‘The firing was kept up until sandown—about two-and-a half hours— when the enemy's guns re silenced, and the fleet laid off all night, and reopened in the morn- ing, but no reply was made. The fleet now lays about two miles below Port Royal, ready to act in conjunction with the army. The Currituck arrived yesterday for repairs.

The ar- till: ry firing there this forenoon was wholly on ‘the part of the rebels, our guns not replying. 85 theirs did us no barm. It -oon ceased, how- } ever. A General officer who leit there this forencon states that the most careful estimates so far giade reduce onr ensualties in the battle <f Saturday below ten thousand, it having theught yesterday forenoon that they wel largely ia excecs of those figure.’ THE PORTER COURT MARTIAL. Tc-day, Mr. Cherry and another telegraph op: Tutor (Whose name we could-not learn) were *xamined with reference to certain dispatches ! forwarded by Gen, Porter to Gen. Burnside; showing, as alleged, unfriendly feelingon the part of the former towards Gen. Pope. _ The councel for the defence, while not ob- Jjecting to that line of te-timony, contended that there despatches, and others they propesed to ; introduce, indicate, on the contrary, but ade- termination on the part of the accu<ed to do his ! duty, and were transmitted only to give neces- vary information. The Judge Advocate next asked for an ad- journment over whtil Thursday ext to afford him time to get ready the next testimony he propored to introduce ; so they adjourned over accordingly. ae men REPORTS CONCERNING THE BATTLE.

Bragg claims tat in the affair at Harts- ville, Tennessee, Gen, Morgan capiured 1,500 prisonera, 2 pieces of artillery,2,000 small arms, and all other stores at the position, and that 200 Federals were killed and wounded. He also claims the capture of fifty prisoners near Nashville, and of atrain near Corinth, on the Sth. A dispatch from Grenada, dawd Dew th, says «Gen. Lovellaies defeated and driven back the enemy at Coffeeville, killing and wounding a large pumber, and capluring thiriy-five pris. oners. Our lots was right killed and forty-iwo wounded. Gen Lovell brought the eatire train ot his corps safely toGrenada.” The Mobile Advertiser says that the advance South, on both sides of Abbeville, made it necessary for Gen. Pi mbertun to witheraw his whole force to Grenada; thus preventing the enemy from gaining his tank and rear. Gen. Lovell was lett to check the advance of the enemy's column. * The Zxaminer is much troubled on account of the great scarcity of coal, and uages immediate measure? for obtsining an adequate eupply for the w inter. e A lot of trunks, containing contraband goods to @he amouniof tally ten thousand dollars, were recently captured in Richmond. The goods came by way of Norfolk and Petersbure. but had evidently been packed im ene orth, as the trunks were ptestered with the cards of Uarnden’s Express Company. The evident seareity of corn and smaller grain in the Confederate States is a source of uo little onxiety in the South, as gn editorial in the Frominer indicates. The breadth of tand sown in wheat and corn falls far short of the usual average; Owing, it is stated, to the high price of seed, und the opportunity for specula- lation offered by the bigh price of flour. The Kraminer, in an editorial, thas treats of Vederal operations at Fredericksburg : “The result of Burnside’s.ferced march to Fredericksburg cannot be contemplated with. outamax ment.

Now, whatis the fact! Buruside’s whole army encamped on the Stafford hills more than & month ago, and have not advanced one inch since their arrival. They have built a railroad; their tents and camp fires cover the bank of the river for eight miles, and thatieall. Two huge srimies spend week atter week in the quietude of a Sabbath. They stare at each other across the yellow waters Of the Rappa- hannock, without even a skirmish to break the | monctony of their days. “If the nwvement of Burnside was an isela- ted effort to take Richmond by way of Fred- | ericksburg, it was one of the greatest follies of | thie war. If it was part of a general plan by } which several other armies, which have not yet come forward, were intended te operate in con. cert, it wa= rendered abortive by the failure to seize Frederick-burg betore the Confederate suimy grrived; and if the Confederate army can succeed in keeping Burnside the other side of the river for some time longer, his enterprize may be considered definitely as a misca: involving a shametul retreat, great demeraliza- ion, @ prodigious expense and loss of material. «It is more than ee that Burnside’ movement was indeed an important part in the general plan of a casipaign to be executed by the whole Federal ioree in the coming spning. ii Burnside could have gotten his army safely into Fredérick-batg he conld have wiatered with grestad vantaxe im the Valley of the Kap- pahannock, and brouzht his organigaliot sreat perfecnon before the marching sca.on again camenrournl, “Then, if the Federal Government put i motion twe handred tho men on MeClel- lan’s old ronte, Burnside ant Lis column might have made his wayeuficientiy near Richmond to effect shal gunction which Jackson's menace of Waehington prevented MeDowell from ext. enting laet June But the whole ot thas desiga talls in the waters between the hulls of Spowyl- wad Stafford, if Burnside Matt» to take icksburz.
