Sumner’s grand division leading the way over in front of the eity, to be followed by Major General Rooker’s grand division. General Franklin's grand division, which crosses nearly ‘three miles bolow the city, is nearly over. At a quarter past nine the first gun was fired, the en” gecement lasting about half an hour, the rebels no, making a very spirited reply. It ts thought the troops will all be over by noon. Information received during the night and this morning, from deserters aud prisoners, shows that the rebels have ‘two strong lines of batteries in the rear of the city—the first one being one mile back, and tho second a mile from the first. The whole army is in rapid motion, and well concen- trated. The troops are in excellent spirits, and anxious to be led upon the enemy’s works. ° The enemy have concentrated their ferces, and it is believed will give datlle! ‘Much will depend upon the result of to-day.

At ten o’clock this morning the fog began to clear away; but before eleven the air was again thick, which eontinued until two, when it entirely disappeared. At a quarter-past two the rebels opened with all thei guns posted on the first ridge of hills. ‘Their main fire was directed upon the city, which was Glled with our troops. Those guns which were posted on the {on of the ridge were opened on the large body of troops which crossed om the two lower bridges, and had formed im line of battle, and were moving obliquely @own the river fronting the Massaponax, Although @everal of their shells exploded over our troeps, none ‘were injured. General Bayard’s cavalry, which crossed on the lower ‘Dridge, had five men Killed while endeavoring to ascer- tain the evemy’s position. ‘The troops which crossed below are sleeping on thoir ‘arms to-night, the advance being within three quarters @f 0 mile of Mastaponax creek, their left resting on the ‘Rappabannock. ‘The enemy occupy the epposite side of the creek in Borce. ‘The guns posted on the bank this side of the river Gilenced the enemy’s artillery after a duel of half an hour. This ended the firing for the day. ‘The only damage done by tho rebel snolls thrown into (the city was to add so much to its destruction. ‘Twenty-five of our men were killed last night in the Gtreets of the city while driving the rebels out. ‘Nearly every house in the city has been damaged more Or less by the Gring of the past two days. Several splen- id residences have boen complotoly riddled, as also all the churches. The fire appeared to be directed on the ‘most prominent edifices. ‘Soveral cases of wanton destruction of property occurred by our troops when they entered—property which could be of no usd tothe enemy, In many houses the furniture all remained, ehowing that their occupants left tp haste. Some of our troops mistook the British flag for a secesh, and tore it from the residence of the British Consul, This morning the owner came over to resovor it, and the flag was returnedto him. ‘The main body of th army is now ever the river, the Dalance being in position to croes at any tine. ‘There is no indication of the enemy evacuating. If they remain, a battle must immediately ensue, THE CAPTURE OF FREDERICKSBURG. @raphic Account of the Bombardment and Captare of the City, OUR SPECIAL ARMY CORRESPONDENCE, Haapgcanrsrs, ARMY oF TH PoTomsc, Deo 11, 1862. ‘To-day bas witnessed ono of these rare, grand specta- «oles of war—tho bombardmont of a city. For days the at- tack had beon looked for with feverish anxiety, and wikh each successive evoning the morrow was prophesied aa the inaugural occasion of the much talked ef winter cam- paign; but weeks slipped by, and yot we rested fn our camps, while all along the ridges just across “the river battories pightly sprang frem tho carth, as if by magic, and the increasing amoke of tho cucmy’s camp Greg wrapped hil} ang valley in undig. tinguishabie gloom, Wild, exciting rumors were greedily accepted for facts, and a thousand statements, as ridicu- Jous as they were contradictory, flew like wildfire from camp to camp. Throughout the week there had been indications that the crisis was rapidly approaching, and each night the troops rotired at ,tattoo fully confident that the roar of artillery would be their reveille. ‘Last evening, at sundown, the movemer: commenced. Batteries hastened to the frout, wagon trains were re- moved from the vicinity of the anticipated battle, the ponderous pontoons joined the current hurrying river- ward, and night closed down upon us bright and beau- tiful, with our pulses threbbing quick with eager ex- pectations. Artillery never seemed to rumble 80 noisily before, and the sharp cluck of the iron axles echoed far and near, as if in league with the enemy, Down by the rivér everything was as quiet as peace. Our pickets, composed of the Fifty-first Pennsyl- vania regiment, sat listlessly about their fires, watch- ing the rebel sentries and crunching hard tack. The river swept smoothly by, placid as the sky above, ‘and just over there,s0 close one almost wished to tel them of their error, stood the rebel sentries, whilea soothing movement of rushing waters im the rapids up stream ewelled softiy down the valley. From the thresholds of the city the sharp yelp of curs rang now ‘aud then discordantly upon the car; but with the bat. teries in position the cause of their outcry would be removed, and silence again settle down upon the town, broken only by the tones of the town clock tolling the midnight hours. And go the time slipped along. The moon climbed higher up, and the falling dew whitened into frost upon our ponchos, while the horses, restless in the chill night air, moved to and fro aneasily in their harness. At two o’clock our pickets were withdrawn, and at three the pontoon train drove down to the water. Lum- ver was noisolessly piled upen the ground, and the huge boats slid from of their trucks, Then we hear a splashing in tho rivera dark pathway lengthens out apon the silver surfa. . sbadows flit hero and there aiong its track, the ‘usty blows of bammers re-echo from side to side, And yet no sound comes from the enemy. ‘Have they evacnated the place?” “ Are we not to Nght here after all?’ is asked, Suddenly, Crack! erack! crack! from a hundred muskets, tells us the ball is @pened. Acry of pain comes up tho bank from the gallant engineers, mules ash off, with pontoons thundering ater, across the plot; the musketry grows louder and the Jaussc bullets more frequent; frightenod teamsters fly, panic-strickem, and the artillery horses plunge at tio caissons. Sudden-, ly, boom! goes a gun—another and another, until’ thirty pieces aro pouring shot andl shell upon the devoted city. Graham, who did so glorisusly at Antiotam; Kirby, with Ricketts’ old Bull ran bawery; Miller, Durell, Tyler, | Sane, Ravard, Kinsey and Di@kson, all join in the up- roar, and musketry is lost to fle ear in the mighty roar that ro-echoes again and agaim from bill to hil, Gnadu- | ally the fire slackens, and t] ngineors again attempt tho | completion of the bridge, im vain; and after @ third trial they fall back, bear their arms their wounded, end and dying.

Mie spirigedly, but, finding it impossible to drive the rebels from their cover, finally withdrew, leaving the disposition of the enemy to our artillery. By this time it was sunrise. The engineers (Fifticth New York) and the Fifty-seventh and Sixty-sixth Now York regiments had suffered heavily, and the wounded s00n began to crowd the floors of the Lacy House, Other regiments bad also suffered, though much less, and the surgeons soon had work enough. % Abeut cight o’clock the artillery fire ceased. The fog was 80 dense that objects wero invisible ohe bundred yards from the guns. Fredericksburg was as silent as before. Again the engineers advance, and again tho enemy drive them back ; orderlies gallop te the different batteries with instructions; @ message orders from Aquia a special train with solid shot; and again the thun- @er breaks out anew. For @ time the roar is in- describably awful, The city from its walls of brick hurls back a thousand echoes, wiiich beat up against the Falmouth bluff, roll back aguin be- yond the town, and then from the distant hills once more swell over to us, a8 though the heavens were rent asunder, At Genera) Sumoer’s headquarters, half a mile distant, it becomes difficult to converse in’ a low tone, while at the batteries orders must be signalied. By an by the firing coases, and one is almost awe-stricken with the profound silence. The mist still clings to the river, the sun struggles up red and fiery, and the air is suffocating with the odor of gunpowder. Pre- sently the bank of fog begins to lift a little, the glistening roofs gleam faintly through the vetl, then the sunbeams scatter the clouds that intervene, and Froderickeburg, utterly desolate, stands out before A buge column of dense black smoke towers like a monu- ment above the livid flames, that leap and hiss and | crackle, licking up the snow upon the roofs with lambent tongues, and stretching like a giant. Tho guns renew their roar, and we see the solid shot plunge through the masonry as though it were pasteboard; other buildings are fired, and before sundown a score of houses are in ashes, while not one seems to have escaped | the pitiless storm of iron. A less have been fired than was anticipated; but the damage done by solid shot ia terrible, and will require years to repair, Among the sufferers is Mr. Garland, a loyal re. fugee, who witnessed the bombardment from the head quarters of Gen. Sumner, of whose staff bis son is a mem ber, The residence of Mr. Slaughter, father of the Mayor, Dr. Wallace's, Mrs. Hayes’, and Timberlake's auc- tion and commission store, are among the buildings burned. An English ensign bung conspicuously from one of the houses, which, fortunately for the inmates, was less exposed toour fire. Females could be seen darting through the streets, negroes carrying furniture from burning houses, and now and then a rebel gliding from one hiding place to another, Our artillery would drive the enemy from their cover upon the bank of tho riven; but when compelled to coase, in order not to endanger the lives of number the regiments, the rebels would immediately steal back and pick off our men with the rifte, In the moan time our own troops lined the hills upon this side as far as the eye could reach, all intensely watching the operations. Artillery, cavalry and infantry, jn solid columns, covered every piateau, and every camp in tho vicinity was well nigh abandonod in the desire to ‘witness the bombardment, A number of females appeared At the windows in the city from time to time, waving white flags and shouting te us that they wished to como over. faupry repurned the fire | sa we were i the same predicament, the ditappointment was mutual,and the affrighted females were left to the undisturbed enjoyment of our sympathy. Whonever such signals wore displayed, however, the buildings were spared by our artillerists, so that the inmates were but boon upon this side. little less safe than they would hi As night approached it was found that the enemy had no idea of yielding to us afree paseago across the river. With their facilities for shielding themselves, our artillery could not permanently dislodge them, and Companies C aud G,of the Seventh Michigan regiment, gallantly vo- lunteored to cross in boats and drive them out of town. Receiving assent to their proposition, they sprang into = couple of pontoon boats, rowed briskly across, dashed up Into the city at double quick, broke open the houses, and captured thirty-six prisenors, including a staff officer. This gallant act vocured to us the opposite sido until the bridge could be completed, and our troops are new in possession of the city. Immediately after taking possession ef the place, the enemy opened upon it with artillery from tho hilis be" yond, but without effct, and at this hour (nine o'closk Pe M.) everything is perfectly quiet. Not shot was fired by the rebels from their batteries during the entire day, with the exception of the tew shots just at night, Some of our men suffered from our own guns, however, a few shelis having exploded this side of the river. Our loss iu killed and wounded is not large. The rebels, owing to their sheltered positions, Rave probably auffer- od Jess than we, though at times our shells seemed to burst among them with considerable effect.
