SATURDAY KVllMMl, DMDIIER 27, 1SC2,
The Ncwh.
The Union nrmy ia victorious in the
South, in the West everywhere stive in
Virginia. Virginia ling been the nrenn of
terrible fighting, uml of fearful blundering.
Not that the Union soldiers have exhibited
less pluck, less bruvery nnd less patriotic
determination upon her bloody battlc-llclds,
than have been biillinntly manifested by
ihcir companions clswhcrc; but that there
has been no concert of action, and no har
mony of movement among her generulsnnd
their armies. The strength of the Union
Imttullions litis been wasted by fruitless
conllicts, seemingly having no object. Mc-
Clcllun moved slowly, cautiously, and surely
His advunce was the terrible pressure of a
living inertia. There were no thunderbolts
in his sky. When he pressed upon the foe,
they gave back, but it was a movement in
duced by the vis inertia of u slowly mov
ing avalanche. When it recoiled, it was
full of siilphiiiinus death. Tho powers
that be, pronounced him too slowa hero
of victories without their fruits. The na
tion, demanded greater activity. " Little
Mac" was relieved nnd Burnside, a West
ern man, put into his pluce, nnd Fredericks
burg pusses into history. That the new
oommnndcr exhibited generalship in the
handling of his troops in that terrible
(laughter pen, no one doubts. But was lie
imperiously commanded by Ilullcck to go
there? Who knows? Let us suspend our
judgments until we know the facts.
From North Carolina wu receive cheer
ing news. Gen. Foster is " murchiug on."
Tho victory ut Kin&rston was substantial
and complete. Fivu hundred prisoners,
eleven cannon nnd n skedaddling foe was
tho result. Foster is pushing on his forces
to Goldsboro. This plueo is situated at
the junction of the Wilmington and Wcl
don railroads. These roudii in possession
tho Union forces, one of their main sources
of supply is cut on.
Gen. Banks' expedition is still a mys
tery. '
llKUKii Insults to t:ik Union Dkad.
Tho loss or the Federals killed at the bat
tle of Fredericksburg was 1.-100. When
tho Union army retreated across tho river
their dead were gathered together nnd left
on the opposite side, on tho Held of their
glory. Subsequently, n party under n flag
of truce was sent over to bury thu heroic
loin. Nearly all of them were found strip'
ped of their clothing, lying naked on the
ground. They fought in defence of the
principles of constitutional government,
nnd lor national unity. They fell while
bravely charging upon entrenchments, cov
ered with cannon loaded with gropo shot.
Truer men never lived, braver men never
charged upon un insolent foe. They could
bo mown down by hurtling grnpo shot in
a fearful harvest of death, but no fears
alarmed them, and no terrors dismayed
them. Unable, to conquer them while liv
ing, being dead, tho rebel heroes (God
snvo tho mark !) cowordly insult their gory
remains. The generous man spares a prostrate-
foe, and tho humane barbarian offers
no insults to tho heroic dead. It is left
for a traitor to combine tho ferocity of a
savage, with tho damning guilt of treason.
How marked the contraet between the ac
tion of the rebels in stripping the Union
dead, is that of the Mexican General " Or
tega," who, after a late battle with, the
French in Mexico, hud the medal found on
the body of a Zouave on the battle-field,
remitted to tho French commander for
transmission to his friends at home. There

dered his resignation, but will probably
huvo to go. A strong pressure is being
mudo ugainst Welles and Stanton, by the

ble with the publie welfare. Ho therefore

The statement that Bumsido had ten
dered his resignation is not believed by

true.
Burnside's official report of the battlo of

the responsibility of moving the army
across the Runnahannoek at Frederickst
burg, sooner uud oj iVifforent places than ex-,
pected,- Tho ..prctfijt Secretary, of War
(Hulleck) assigns as reasons that during
the preparation for crossing at the places
first selected, he discovered that the enemy
had thrown n largu portion nl hi? force
down the river, thus weakening his defewej
in front, in which case they would fight him
Willi great advantage. But for the unexpec
ted and unavoidable delay in building
bridges, which gave the enemy 24 hours to
concentrate and get a strong position, we
we. would almost certainly have succeeded,
in which cnc the Inittle would have been
more decisive than If we hud crossed at the
place first selected.

Fortna Monroe. 20lh. The Richmond
