The Intelligencer quotes from the New York Independent where that paper carps at the Pres- ident because he employs only “‘common sense” men for generals and military advisers, inifad of men of “genius.” The Intelligencer thinks the President is not blamable for not in- venting military genius it it does not exist, and pre-eminent genius for war emerges about as rarely as a Shakespeare, and as all who cannot write prose are not necessarily poets, so itdoes . not follow that generals who lack “common sense,” which it is admitted Mr. Lmcoln can @ppreciate, are therefore military geniuses of a superior order. The Chronicle noticing the enthusiasm with ‘which the arming of the negroes is received by . ai ‘the soldiers in the West, thinks it wonderful how readily every innovation on the common practice, “recommends itself to the American people, provided it rests on a foundation of common sense, and how quickly prejudices | are dissipated before the dictates of interest.” OUR MILITARY BUDGET. egearee THE SITUATION. Upto noon to-day no information had reached here trom the vicinity of Fredericksburg lead- ing to the conclusion that the general engage- mrent had been renewed yesterday, though much desultory firing took place throughout the day; none with artillery after 10 a. m. Up to the evening we continued to hold th: town (Fredericksburg), and the portion of the heights north and west of the town we took on Sunday. At 4 a.m., Gen. Gibbons’ division, which was temporarily occupying the heights i laying south of the town withdrew from them, and they were immediately reoccupied by the rebels. The belief is current in official circles here that up to last evening we held all we desired | to hold that we had taken in the course of Sat- urday's and Sunday's fighting, though Gen. Hooker had evidently called in his advance so as to concentrate his force to better advantage. ARRIVAL OF PRISONERS AND WOUN DMB. The Mary Washington brought up 240 ‘wounded last night from Aquia creek, among them Col. Norton, of the 123d New York regi- | ment, shot in the abdomen, wounded sear Chancellorsville. He was taken to the Ar- mory hospital on a litter. The Juniata brought up 125 prisoners of a Leuisiana regiment, and the remains of Lieut. Col. Chapin, S6th New York regiment, (Sick- Jes’ division,) killed Sunday morning in the | bloody fight near Chancellorsville. Also Maj. ' Higgins, %6th New York, formerly in charge of the Old Capitol prison, wounded in leg. Lieut. Col. F. A. Walker, of Gen. Couch’s staff, who had his arm shattered by a shell at the time of the tremendous onslaught by the Confederates on Friday night, Capt. Sherwood, 6th New York, who, at one time had charge of the Central Guardhouse here, shot through lungs. Capt, Blsworth, same regiment, formerly dep- uty Provost Marshal, Georgetown, wounded in thigh. Capt. Angle, of the 6th, (an efficer ‘well known here,) wounded in the hip. Lieut. Col. Walker denies the report that Gen. Couch was killed, and thinks that no \@fficer above the rank of Colonel has been killed on our side, with the exception of Gen. Berry. + ial ee A REBEL COLONEL ON THE AVENUE. The rebel Colonel T. M. Griffin, of the J=th Mississippi regiment, was permitted, with an- other rebel officer captured at Fredericksburg, to visit various places of business on the avenue ° yesterday under guard to make purchases of | clothing, exchange money, &c., &c. He is a} large-sized, powerful-looking man, and at- tracted a crowd wherever he moved. Griffin claims that the Confederates had but 3,000 men in the intrenchments at Fredericks. urg at the time we took them, and that with @nother thousand men they could have held them. ——__+ +e 2 Orxra.—The Grau Opera Company will give Martha to-morrow (Wednesday) night. As this opera is the greatest of the new Repetoire, and | bas never been performed here before, it will ' ‘undoubtedly draw a large house. Lorini, and Brignoli are said to be excellent in this opera. On Thursday night, Roberto Il Diavolo, with « ine cast. Manager Grau will receive the thanks of the | musical community here for bringing out these tine works of modern composers. &7 Mayhew, on the Mobile and Ohio Rail- | Yoad, eighteen miles from Columbus, Missis- | Sippi, is said to have been captured by our forces—a movement which threatens the Southern railroad communication generally. Mayhew is nearly one hundred miles below | Corinth, and about half way to Meridan, at | ‘which point the road westward to Vicksburg forms a junction with the Mobile and Ohio Road. A National force is also said to have een near Housten, Mississippi, on the 10th ult., designing to destroy the Mississippi Oen- tral Railroad LATE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. | paul ireley HE VICTORY AT WARRENTON JUNC- TION.

THE SiTUATION AT FREDERICKS.- BURG AND CHANCELLORSVILLE. jis Boe A TUE FIGHT ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON. ————— 2 ES A CHECK IN SPLEN- D ADVANCES A MILE, jae Lal THE FIGHTING YESTERDAY, sali INTERESTING DETAILS, = Sedgwick, after getting possession of the rebel batteries at Fredericksburg on Sunday, moved out on the plank road towares Chan- cellorsyille some four miles; but encountering a staggering force of the enemy, diq not push farther in that direction. On the same day (Sunday), Gibbon's divi- sion, ef the Second Corps, occupied Freder- icksburg and most of the heights, On Monday morning, about day-break, the enemy suddenly appeared on the extreme DID STYLE A | heights, on the telegraph road southeast of the plank road, and came forward without much resistance, our force at that point not being of any great strength. This force of the enemy, which rumor announced to be reinforcements, under Longstreet, hastening up from the Blackwater, is believed now to have been only a body of the enemy left down river to oppose our crossing below Fredericksburg. Some assistance was afforded to our troops over the river by the well known heavy battery called the “Seven Sisters,” planted on the heights on the north side of the Rappahannock’ about a quarter of a mile belew the Fredericks- burg and Aquia Creek railroad, ‘The enemy, however, succeeded in advancing until they occupied all the positions southeast of the plank road, well down to the famous j Stone wall, which is the first line of battery in the rear of Fredericksburg, east of the plank road, it not being Hooker's plan evidently to make any serious contest fof this ground. Yesterday at three p.m, they held abont intrenchmenis southeast of the plank road (leading from Fredericksbarg to Chancellors. yille,) and Gibbons all northwest of the sama burg. Sedgwick is further out on the plank road, ana sandwiched, as it were, between Lee (who is in turn sandwiched between Sedgwick and | Hooker) and the rebel force that retook the lower fortifications at Fredericksburg. Sedg- wick, however, who is one of the best officers in the service, knows fully what he is about, and has, it is reported, already opened com- munication with Hooker, The loss on both sides has been heavy, some estimating it as high as twenty thousand té each army. But experienced army men hold that the rebels have suffered materially the most, as they have been fought in masses, The Fight on Sunday Afternoon and Yes- terday. On Sunday afternoon Hooker advanced some distance towards Fredericksburg, met with a temporary check, and fell back, but rallied in splendid style and advanced and held a mile in distance. In this affair Hooker's hospital tents were shelled by the enemy, and it was found necessary to remove the inmates. In this fight the 3d, 5th and 9th, and two di- visions of the 2d corps were hotly engaged: and later in the afternoon the Ist corps also. The fighting yesterday afternoon, as heard from Falmouth, was mostly musketry. The cannonading ceased about 10 o'clock a. m., but the musketry was continued through the day. The number of prisoners on both sides, thus tar, is believed to be about equal. Our greatest logs (in prisoners) was in the llth army corps, Howard’s—late Sigel’s— which is said not to have behaved well. The country where Hooker is now operating is undulating, wooded and broken, fully as rough as the Bull Run country, though not cut up by any large water courses. Theso-much- talked-of plank road is an old one, out of re- pair, s0 far as the planking is concerned, but tolerably well graded. A noticeable feature of the present fighting is, we are told, in the few stragglers seen. At the time of Sedgewick’s crossing to Fredericks- burg every man wert, and the elan of the army as a whole was of the same satisfactory sort. The present Army of the Potomac is un- doubtedly the finest we have yet put in the field, being composed of veterans in every sense of the word, & majority of them having been in as many as six engagements heretofore. In this respect Hooker's army is superior to the Army of the Peninsula, which, up to the time of its grand trial battles, had been inno engage- ment of consequence, if we except Williams. burg. Such an army cannot be beaten, and with a commander of the bull-dog temacity of Hooker, must eventually force the rebels to the wall, no matter how desperately the latter may struggle or how protracted the conflict. It will occur to the reader at once, from the position ot the two armies, that a reverse on either side will be no half-way affair, butover- whelming, and hence we may expect the most sanguinary fighting of the war before the con- test Is settled. THE LATEST. No information from Gen. Hooker himself or from any officer in his army has reached Washington in the last forty-eight hours by telegraph, though the wires between here and Gen. H.’s headquarters are working well, and he is certainly busy enough in sending almost momentary messages between his different camps and corps, having wires communicat- ing with all of them. It is known here that he is telegraphing as we thus explain. The just inference from the fact that he does not telegraph here is that he is getting on well enough to satisfy himself, and also that his movement has not yet resulted decisively. That is: has not come to an and tor the time being. It is, however, known here that there was no fighting of importance yesterday; and further, that be held his ground previously won throughout yesterday, exceptin a few unim- portant points. Thus, all the heights about Fredericksburg that he actually took he cdil- tinued to hold, rumor to the contrary notwith- Standing—except some upon the eouth side, ‘which he made no effort whatever to hold. 1 Jackson commands the rebel right wing. Longstreet cannot possibly reinforce Lee for forty-eight or sixty hours yot, if, as ramor has St, he is on the way to do so. ‘The public may rely on it, wothing whatever is known in Washington up to 3 p.m. to-day that serves to indicate that Gen. Hooker's epe- rations have not so far succeeded according to his expectations, s SENSATION RUMORS. Washington city is ot course full of elabor- Ated rumors, purporting to come from Freder- icksburg, nearly allof which are utterly ua- true. Elsewhere in to-day’s Star the reader will find all that is really reliable from that quarter. Though up tothe latest advices from | there we had gained no advantages amounting to the decisive yiclory one of our cotemporaries yesterday announced, (as being slated upon the President’s authority, which was of course 8 mistake on its part,) Gen. Hooker held almost ail the ground he had so desperately fought for and won on Saturday and Sunday last. STILL THEY COME! The steamer Hero arrived about one o'clock to-day with over eight hundred rebel prison- ers, taken in the engagement near Fredericks- burg. Among them are forty-eight officers of all grades below Lienténant Colonel. Several of the officers appear to haye lately been uni- formed, but the large majority of the officers and all the men are the same hard-looking set we have been in the habit of seeing. They were escorted by a detachment of the 39th Mass. to Clifburne Barracks, Twenty-first street. Some of these prisoners say that they have been here before, and express the hope that they may be treated as well this time as were tormerly.

Saree PRIZE FIGHT BETWEEN JOE Co. BURN AND MIKE McCOOLE, RES a2 SR The American Championship and a Purse of $2,000 at Stake, uae see See Sporting Circles Excited. pa PSS The « mill,” which has for a long time been & | the topic ef interest in sporting circles, between this position: The enemy oceupying all the Joe Coburn, of New York, and Mike McUoole, of the West, was announced to come off this morning ata point on the Philadelphia, Balti- | more and Wilmington railroad, near Wilming- : 4 | ton. Except among the intimate friends of the road. He also occupied the city of Fredericks. | combatants, it was not positively knewn where the fight would take piace until within a day | or two. In fact it was announced to take place somewhere in northern New York orin Cans but after having turned all eyes in that direc- tion the combatants set their faces southward to bother the pplice. Both men haye exhibited their power on sev- eral public occasions, and their respective triends have thus had an opportunity of judg- ing of their relative merits. Coburn is’ well known as 8 hard fighter, with plenty of science and good “bottom,” his last fight occupying over three hours. He is thoroughly posted up cn the tactics of the ring and has any amount of gameness, quickness, and fistic skill. Mc- Coole is regarded as the Champion of the West, aud though comparatively untried, is nevertheless a dangerous customer to deal with tenderly. He is not so scientific perhaps as his opponent, but has immense endurance, and can stand a fearful amount of “pammel- ling.” He is @ very muscular fellow, and his friends are confident of his success. He is 20 pounds better than Joe, and a little taller. He has a long reach, and is said te carry a very dangerous “bunch of fives.” Betting runs high, over $100,000 having been already staked. Australian Kelly and Johnny Roach are sec- onds to McCoole, while Ned Price and Jim Cu- sack do the agreeable for Coburn. Ned Price was one of the men that Joe fought, the battle lasting over three hours, and the selection of such men as above, indicates fair play and a square fight. A great number of the sporting iraternity of this city lett night before last and yesterday for the scene of operations; over three hundred persons leayimg here on the trains during the day. oe CuarGce or Granp Larceny.—Yesterday afternoon, Lieut. James Knight, of New York, made a visit to the house of Molly Turner. co: ner of Thirteen-and-a-half street and Ohio ay- enue, and there he missed from his pocket $70 in Treasury notes. He made a charge of lar- ceny against Mary Clayton, a young woman of the fancy order, and she was arrested by efticer Voss and taken before Justice Clayton for trial. Lieut. Knight testified that on visit- ing the house he laid down ona bed in Mary Clayton’s room, and that at the time he noticed thathe had the money. He remained in the Toom until 6 o’clock, no one entering the room during that time beside Mary Clayton. Upon getting up he discov@red that his money was gone. Justice Clayton ordered the prisoner to be searched, and also two young women who appeared as witnesses for the defence. None of the money was found oneitherof them. The two young women testified that the complain- ant was brought to the house very drunk, and that the accused took him to her room and left him there, and returned to the sitting-room. That as persons were constantly passing about in the house one might as well be charged as another; and the accused was but 4 short while, if in the room atall, after she left the officer. Justice Clayton held the accused to bail fora hearing Wednesday. = SvPrreME Court, D. U.—This Court com- menced its session Py aeeeny, morning.
