Retelling the Southern bank, they'will be

SKIRMISHING NEAR BLACKWATER, VA.—A
FIGHT ANTICIPATED.
Richmond, Dec. 13.—The Petersburg
Express of this morning says thatat dawn
of day yesterday morning, the enemy made
a simultaneous attack upon oar troops at
Zuni and Joj’ner’s Ford. There being one
company ot Col. Clniborne’s Rangers at
each place, they fought gallantly, repnls-
ing the enemy and driving him from tho
opposite bank of the narrow stream.
About eight o’clock tho enemy’s cavalry
having succeeded in fording the river be
tween Zuni and the Ford, suddenly made
their appearane in the rear of Capt. Sykes’
Company at Joyner’s Ford, charging up
on them with a yell, and capturing Capt.
Sykes and his thirty-five men.
Zuni and Joyner’s Ford are near the
sources of Black water river. The. enemy
got nothing but tho men and their arms,
who were defending the ford.
About nine o’clock, reinforcements came
up to Joyner’s. Ford, and the enemy’s
cavalry rccrossed, but took their prison
ers along.
Yesterday afternoon a fight was pro
gressing at Zuni.
During Thursday night the telegraph
wires on the Norfolk line were cut, be
tween Ivor and Petersburg.
It is believed that the entire Yankee
force at Suffolk marched oat, and the im
pression is that a general attack and in
force will be made to-day along tho line
of the Black water river, from Znni to
Franklin. .

BATTLE OF PLYMOUTH, N. C.—THE FEDERALS
REPULSED.
' Petersburg, Va., Dec. 12.
The Petersburg' Express has the follow
ing particulars of the battle at Plymouth,
N. C., obtained from an official dispatch to
Gen. French:
On Wednesday morning, Dec. 10, just
before day, fonr companies of the 17th
North Carolina troops, and a squadron of
Evans’ Cavalry, undor Lieut. Col Evans,
dashed into Plymouth, N. C., and drove
tho enemy pell moll from the place. We
killed and wounded many of them, and
took twenty-five prisoners, together with
seventy five negroes. Our troops being.
fired at from the houses, Col. Lamb ordered
Moore’s battery to batter them down.
A boat two thirds of the town was burnt.
Mooro’s section also drove Abolition
ist gunboat doyvn the river, seriously disa
bling her.
The negroes and prisoners captured weie
all brought away.
Our loss was six wounded—Capt. Calla
way seriously.
Napoleon Resolved to Interfere.
Richmond, Dec. 13—The Paris corres
pondent of The New York Herald, Nov.
14th, says that Lord Cowley was informed
by Napoleon that his conviction was so
strong of the absolute necessity of media
tion that if England hesitated for any time
in her refusal, he should not hesitate to act
without her in conjunction with whatever
other European Powers would associate
with him.
The New York Times publishes several
columns of dispatches from Seward to Min
ister Adams, sent at different periods du
ring tho year. In several of those dispatch
es, intended for foreign effect, ho argues to
show that the administration is hostile to
the institutions of slavery. In a dispatch
dated July 28th he saj's: “We will induce
or oblige onr slave-holding citizens to sup
ply Europe with cotton, if we can: and
the President has given respectful consid
eration to the desire informally expressed
to me by the governments of Great Britain
and France, for some further relaxations
of the blockade in favor of the cotton trade
An answer will be seasonably given.”
Ho concludes by saying that “this gov
ernment relies upon the respect of our
sovereignty by foreign Powers, and if this
reliance fails, this civil war will, without
our fault, become a war of the world; and
whatever else may survivo, the cotton
trade built upon slave labor in this country
will be irredeemably wrecked on the abrupt
cessation of human bondago within the
territories of the United States.”
from desecration and plunder by the Abo
lition vandals.
We feel confident that a short time will
develop the fact thatGen. Cobb is the right
man in the right place, and that his usual
energy and zeal for onr cause will ere long
gather around him an army of Sonthern
patriots that will bid defiance to the raids
of our brutal and insolent foe.

LATEB FROM FREDERICKSBURG—TUB ENE
MY IN POSSESSION OF TUB CITY.
Richmond, Doc. 13.—The papers this
morning famish some interesting particu
lars of events at Fredericksburg yesrerday
and Thursday night. The Enquirer says
tho enemy, nnder cover of their artillery
firing, crossed tho river and occupied the
city. The pontooniers began at eleven
o’clock in tho night of Thursday and by
day light Fridaymorning the artillery open
ed. The firing reached as high has sixty per
minute, and at this rate continued all day.
Under it bridges were .brown across. The
first adventurous Yuukees that touched the
Southern shore wero quckly captured. As
the bridges approached this side, our sharp
shooters would rise from the ground and
fire into the bridge builders. Many of the
enemy were killed und wounded in throw-
gin bridges across.
The fighting yesterday was in Bernard’s
woods, two aud a half miles this side of
town.
The occupation oif Fredericksbnrg, ob
tained with merely nominal opposition on
our part, gives questionable advantage
only to the enemy. We believo the Rap
pahannock will yet be more to our advan
tage behind the enemy than when it was
in tlieir front.
Up to the time of the departure of the
train from Hamilton’s Crossing, the two
armies had been engaged Jin skirmishing,
which had commenced early and continu
ed briskly.
The special correspondent of the Exami
ner, writing at twlvo on yesterday, says
that sharp skirmishing ensued in tho stieet
of Fredericksburg, and about eight o’clock
onr forces relinquished the place to the
enemy. During, or shortly after the skir
mishing,- the enemy fired the Post Office
ai.d.Methodist Church. The Bank of-Vir-
ginia and all the houses on the square were
consumed. Of several hundred citizens
remaining in town on yesterday, bat three
women, whose husbands had previously
gono over to the enemy, remained arid
claimed tho protection of the Abolitionists.

'LATER FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
Richmond, Deo. 15.—Tho papers of this
morning contain the additional particulars
of the fipht near Fredericksburg on Satur
day. The fighting of Saturday was chiefly
by Longstreet’s corps, a part of Jackson’s
corps reserve at Hampton’s crossing. A.
P. Hill’s division of Jackson’s corps was
in the battle at the time.
Gon. T. R. R. Cobb was slain. His le
gion was holding in chock fifteen thousand
of tho enemy. Our loss in the battle is va
riously stated at six hundred to one thou
sand in killed nnd wounded. The slaughter
of the enemy was very great. Our artil
lery was admirably served.

aevorly wounded and it is believed mortal
ly. He was shot through the body.
Gen. Pender was slightly wounded.
Tho special correspondent of the Exam
iner, says tho result of tho fight on our
right wing may bo Bummed up briefly.
\Ve drove the enemy back, killing three
to one, and ut night held the ground oc
cupied by tho enemy’s batteries ju the
morning. The enemy had 20,000 mon en
gaged on this wing, while altogether, from
first to last, we hud no more than 10,000
on tho line of fire.
“ Longstreet’s victor}' was even more
complete. He drove the enemy into the
streets of FredricksbUrg, killing at least
five to one. At dusk the firing ceased si
multaneously on both sides.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF SATURDAYS’
BATTLE.
Gen. T. R. R. Cobb’s command bore a
conspicuous part and fought with great
bravery. He had posted his men in a field,
where they were concealed by stone fenc
es, while ho stood behind a house nwuiting
the approach of tbo enemy. A shell passed
through tho house, shattering tbo log of
the General,, from the effects of which be
died in a short time.
It is stated that Cobb’s brigade encoun
tered a fbree four or five times their num
ber, and slaughtered them terribly. They
broke the Yankee column, which could not
bo formed afterwards. On this field, it is
said, the enemy left a thousand of their
dead.
