Humphreys, on Saturday evening lust, at Kanaka Flnt, some two miles from this town. The deed wus perpetrated in a drinking and gambling saloon. Hum phreys died nbout three o'clock on Monday morning. The blade of the knife used was near six inches long. It struck on the right side of the abdomen, between the lower ribs and tho groin, nnd penetrated through the intestines and entirely severed what tho physicians cull tho ''internal il laiac vein." Tho circumstances of the case, as narrated to us, uro briefly these : There was n heterogeneous gathering of Ku nakas, negroes, white men and squaws, ut tho fuIooii, and gambling, duueing and drinking, were the furor of the hour. Riley cumo in a little before ten o'clock, and in passing uround through the crowd towards tho lire, pusscd by where Humphreys was sitting on a bench, nnd intentionally or ac cidentally stepped on his foot. Humphrey accused Riley of doing it intentionally. Riley told him he might think ns he pleased about it. A quarrel ensued ; Humphrey struck Rilev in tho face with his list, uud Riley stabbed him as above. It i ley has been committed to iail for triul. He is of medium hight, thick set and rather forbid ing in his personal appearance. It is said that Riley has served a term in the institu tion at Portland which, in punning langu age, is culled a States Prison. The de ceased bus been about this placo since 1858.

Tho intelli gencc from tho sent of wiir, Inst night, staler that on tins 12th, nue Hampton's cavalry captured Dumfries, on the Oc rnquuu, half-wuy between Washington and Frederickburg, uud to-day cut the telegraph wires nnd captured n number of operators. This caused the interruption of news. Communication in now restored, and Sigel's corps is trying to cut off Hampton's retreat, through with but doubtful prospects of SIICCCB3. Hcudquartcrs, Army of Potomac, Dec. 1.1th. 'I he battle, loin,' anticipated, is now progressing. Reyno'ds' corps, on the lefi, udvuuced nnd engaged tho enemy at 9:15 o'clock. A few minutes nfterwurds the rebels opened u heuvy siege of artillery, which still continues. Our heavy guns arc answering; but the fire of both sides is nt random, on account of the denso fog. No n suits uro ns yet known, and but little ol the infantry have been enguged. A portion of the enemy's cavalry crossed the ford nbovo here yesterday, and are on our right. Tho rear of the Federul force bus been sent against them. Washington Dec. 1.3.th. A dispatch from Falmouth, lust night, says that the main body of our army is now over the river, tne nuiunce ueing in a position to erns at any time. Tho Nuvy department 1ms ndviecs from the Gulf squadron to November 2(!th, which gives nn account of the capture of the Hrilish schooner Marin, nnd the rebel schooner Carrie, while attempting to run the blockade off Stnhino Pus3. Hampton's cavalry captured n number nf officers ut Dumfries yesterduy, but pa roled them. Later in the day Gen. Steiuwnugh, with a command of Sigel's, met tho rebels, nnd a fight ensued, tho precise locality or extent of which is not yet known. The gallant net of first crossing the river nt Fredericksburg, was performed by two companies of the 78th Michigan regiment. A drummer boy 10 years old was in first bout. LATER. Hendqiinrtcrs Army of tho Potomac, Dec. Ulili 11 i. m. Tho fog began to disappear early in tho forenoon, affording an unobstructed view of our own nnd the rebels' position. It wns evident that on the first runge of hills in the rear of tho city the enemy hud guns posted which could not bo carried except by infantry. General French's division, which was sup ported by Gen. Howard's troops, advanced to their work at 11:50 on a brisk run. The enemy's guns opened upon them witli a very rapid lire, when within musket range, at the base of the ridge. Tho rebel inlun try, who were posted behind stone walls and some houses on the rigiit of the lin, cheek, the advance of our men, and they fell buck to n small ravine, but not out of musket range. At this time another body of men moved to their assistance in splendid style, notwithstanding large gaps were made in their ranks by tho rebel urtitlery. When our troops arrived nt tho first line of rebel defences they "double quicked," and with fixed bnynoctp endeavored to dislodge the rebels from their hiding place; but the concentrated fire of the rebel artillery and infantry were too much for them. The center gave way in disorder, but was after wards rallied and brought buck. From (hut time the fire was spiritedly carried on and never ceased until dark. General Franklin, on our left, met with better success. He succeeded,, alter a hard day's fighting, in driving the rebels about one mile. At one time they advanced to attack him, but were handsomely repulsed with terrible slaughter and loss of four or live hundred prisoners, belonging to Gen. Hill's division. Gen. Franklin's move ments were directed down the river, and his troops encamped not far from Mnssulo nnx creek. Our troops sleep tonight where Ihey fought to-day. The dead and wounded are being carried from the field. Among the officers killed or wounded, arc General Jackson Penn. Reserves, killed ; General lluyard, died front wound received in (lie thigh ; Gen. Vienlon, wounded ; General Gibbons, wounded ; Gen. Kimball, wound ed ; Gen. Caldwell, wounded ; Colonel Sin clair, seriously wounded ; Capt. llendriek son, wounded; Colonel Cross, N. II. fiih. wounded ; Maj. uud Adjutant of same reg iment killed. The musketry firing censed nbout six o'colek, but the rebels continued to throw shells into the city until night. The rebel position is as Ibllows : Long street on the lelt, holding main works. Gen. A. P. Hill and Stonewall Jackson in front of Franklin. Jackson's right resting on the Rappahannock, with Hill's force ns a reserve. Uurnside will renew the buttle ut daylight. Oar troops arc in good spjrits. Mead-quarters nrmy, Wee. 14, ll;sj A. m. There is no fog today. The sun is shir. ing brightly, with n strong breezu blowing at daylight this morning. There was a heavy lire of artillery and infantry in front of tllu first lino of Federal works, where Generals Sumner and Hooker were en gaged yesterday. The firo slacked about an hour afterwards, and was heard only at intervals until now. Tho same occurred in front nf Franklin's division. The ob ject of both parties Is evidently to fed the other. During lust night and this morn ing tho rebels considerably strengthened their position nnd extended their works. Large bodies ol troops are now to be seen where few were to be seen yestenduy. Those killed yesterday whilo charging enemy's works remain where they fell. While we were attempting to remove them lust night the rebels opened firo with musketry, but the wounded have all been removed Irom the field. All the dead obtained arc now being bulled. Indications tire that no de cisive battle will be fought to-day unless the rebels should bring on an cngugement, which is not probable. Washington, 14. Gentlemen in high position repeat the assertion us coming from Uurnside, that he has men enough, and wants no reinforcements. It is thought hero that about 40.000 of our troops were engaged in yesterday's bnttlc. From information received this morning, preparations wero making all night for a conflict today, Uurnside remaining on the field, giving orders and looking after the condition of his men. Additional sur geons, everything which our wounded may require have been dispatched from Wash ington. Gen. Mcnghcr wns wounded in the leg, in yesterday's battle. New York, 14th. The Herald's Frede rlcksbnrg dispatch' dated the l.'lth. says ii is ascertained, beyond doubt, that the rebel forco is nearly 200.000 strong. Jackson commands their right, extending from Port Royul to Ginnis Station. Lnngstrcct has the centre, from Ginnis Station to the Telegraph roud. Iee and Stuart uro on tho left. A dispatch from headquarters, last night, to the Jlerald, says that General Franklin's j line moved forward at 6imrise. Miortiy afterwards a rebel battery opened on our line' and the 9tn N, Y. militia wero order ed to charge; but, after a fierce struggle, were compelled to retire. The remainder of that brigade, under Gen. Tyler, then charged on the battery, and the fkdit be came general. On tho extreme I ft the cannonading wns terrific' but our troop suffered little from it. Grnduully the fight extended round to the right. About 10 o'clock Gen. Sumner's troops engaged tho enemy back of the city. The battle raged furiously until dark ; the enemy occupying the woods and hills, had tho most advan tageous position, but wero driven back on their right a mile nnd n half. Early in the day, several hundred prisoners were taken, who report Leo's whole urmy in the vicin ity. LATEST. New York, Dee. 15th. Concerning Saturday's fight the Herald has the follow ing : The battle raged fiercely throughout tho day and evening until after dark. The fighting in our immediate front, nnd on the right nnd beyond Fredericksburg, wns carried on by Sumner's division. Shnrlly after f) o'clock, General Couch's corps moved out from the upper part of the city with a strong detachment of skirmishers. The enemy yielded gradually, but contested our progress with great stubborness, and for some time the rattle of musketry wns incessant. At the time .this movement commenced, batteries of the division sta- tioned od the bluffs, across the river, open ed with shell, to cover our advance. The rebel infantry liuving fallen back to their first line of works, their batteries opened with a vigorous and rapid firo upon our columns, which brought them to a tempo rary hult. For some time our artillery on the bluffs kept up the fire on the rebel batteries with considerable success ; and the rebel batterie on Taylor's Hill, appo site Fnlmoutli, wus finally silenced. Dur ing ull this time the rebel artillery wns en liiely devoted to shelling our advance. Soon idler tho whole corps wns deployed into line of battle and moved forward to attack and storm the rebel batteries on the r'glit. while from the enemy's works u ter rible fire of shell, grape and shrapnel tore through their bleeding ranks. Notwith standing this, they steadily pushed on to within it short distance of the first Hue of iiitrcnehnients. They drove the rebels from tho former' making prisoners or some while the remain der took shelter behind the intreuchmentH. This wus uccomplished after most heroic noil long continued (Hurt under a most galling and murderous lire. Unable to stand ugainst this terriblio fire, they return ed in good order, currying away their wounded, lo their original line of pickets, through holding the ground the first occu pied, alter having been six hours under lire. Chicago, Dec. 15th. The following U believed to be nearly correct as to the num ber of our nrmy at Fredericksburg : I look er's corps about 50,000 Franklin on left and Sumner on right, each with equal num bers. Sigel with 25,000 advancing on center, and Slocuin with 15,000. is execut ing Hank movement ol enemy's IcTl. Chicago, 15lli The situation nt Fred ericksburg, us briefly slated, is as follows ; We. have crossed in force nnd hold the city. The rebels hold a semi-circular line of works, rrnging from one to three miles back of the river. There remains three things for us to do wo may attempt to storm their works, or sttihd on the defen sive where we are, or bring up reserves and attempt to turn their Hank. In the first case, if defeated, we would be thrown back on the river, without any sufficient means of crossing. Thcro wns no lighting of con sequence yesterday. Fortress Monroe, 1,1th. The Richmond Enquirer has the following : Heavy firing was going nn at Fredericksburg, and tho cannonading is severe. On 10th. our bat teries, stationed above and below town, opened (ire on gunboats in the stream. Tho firing lasted nn hour und u hair, mid wim very heavy and rapid. Eleven house wefo struck, four completely destroyed. Washington, 15th. Up to midnight no intelligence of importance hud been re ceived from the army. There was occa sional firing during the night. The Rich mond Enquirer says 12 Yankee regiments left Newborn Sal unlay. Some think their destination is Wilmington, but more gen eral' belief is that they will attack Weldon uud Petersburg. Cincinnati, Dec. 15th. Southern dis patches say that Jeff. Davis arrived at Murfreesboro' on Friday. Gov. Hroun.of Georgia, acting under authority of the Legislature, seized n half million dollars worth of goods, in Angnstn, for the use of the soldiers, to be paid for at reasonable rules. Nashville, 12th. The rebels Imvn n heavy force near Nolanville, another at Mur freesboro', and a considcrrble forco this sido of Nolan's creek the entire number estimated ut 70,000.
