The Richmond Enquirer of the 14th inat., contains a lengthy communication in relation to tho late battles, from which we take the fol lowing: I have paa:sd over tho whole battle ground sinco the fight. It reaches from Deep Run— indeed, it may bo said to entend from Hamil ton’s Crossing, five miles below Fredericks burg, whore the artillery dueling between onr batteries and those of the enemy first occur red—up to Fredericksburg, and from the town up as far as Wilderness, fifteen miles above.— The country above where the main fighting took placo, has been aptly diseribea by Gen. Leo, as “a tangled vrildcnetf’ and yet this sec tion of deneely wooded land, covered with tho clo-est undergrowth ever seen, has been liter ally cleared, by the grape, cannister, schrap- nel and solid shot, which for so many days rained through it. Everything betoken the severity of the fight, and attests the courage and invincibility of the viotors. The fortifications are on the most extensive ,-cale, and fronted in overy direction. Hook er’s plans seems to have been to ditch to Rich mond. His idea was to fortify himself in a position mmuwhat in the form of a square at Chancellorsville, whilst Sedgwick crossed be low at Fredericksburg, turned onr right wing and seized the railway at Hamilton’s Crossing. Stoncman’s partin the programme, meantime, was evidently to create a panic, if possible, in our rear.wiut tho railway communication, nod so cripple Lee for supplies as to se .ure for Hooker a bloodless victory. This a Yankee surgeon narrated to me as the “plan.” He frankly confessed, however, that Hooker had been out gencrailcl and whipped by tho “first captain of the age.”—General L:e. The evidences of panic which are cverywhete to be seen 1 have previously mentioned from re port. To all that has' been said, and to much more, my own observation can truthfully bear witness.

PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE WEEK’S CONFLICT. Hooker's lino between Chancellorsville and tho Keptdzn, two divisione-eSyke’e ot the fifth corps, and Williams of iho Twelfth—pushed on luartr to tho rear of Fredericksburg, skirmish ing End fighting with the enemy who showed slight resistance in that direction. The*enemy were thus driven before them for four miles; when General-Hooker, (or some teason, ordered the to Sviilei The Richmond Examiner ot tho 15»h inst ooiitaitu the following from the comspon- deitfie of the New Y*ork World. It is indis pensable to a full understanding of (be late bat tks in Virginia. £ ho following review puts, in a brief and HigiUc form, the opera tioos of Hooker’s army from the time of its advance to its reft cat across the river. It is, loO. by fHf thn moot candid account we have yet scon from the ene my. The correspondent writes : The campaign of General Hooker is over, and the operations of the Army of the Rap pahannock, upon the results of whioh many had looked with hope and ail with anxiety have ended in complete failure. Commencing with the most flattering promises of cheering and de« isive victory, it has terminatid in defeat— in disaster. The confused ani fragmentary accounts al ready published can give no adequate realiza tion of events which the past niue days have developed ; and a resume, in connected order, of,the various movements, matioeuvers and coafliols can.alone convey a correct idea of how far we were successful, how far wo wore defeated, and the causes of the present result, as far as they esu be discerned. The difficulties of the position in wbioli the army was placed are loo well known to need much explanatiou. A wide rivor and forty miles of earthworks were in front of tho ene my for their defense. To carry this position by a front attack, in the tace of such obsta cles, were simply impossible, and to throw the entire army aero s the rivor abovo or be low these works would necessitate an aban donment of the present base of supplies ai Acquia Landing, for with our supplies and communication thus exposed, tbo enemy could not possibly^fail to tako advantage of it. How then eould the difficulties of tho position be successfully met and the enomy be driven from their entrenched porithn " The follow ing seems to have been the plan which was adopted, and which was in a great degree suc cessful. TUB PLAN. A portion of the army,, about half of it, was to cross tho river near Fredericksburg and pretend to renew the attempt in which Burnside b&d been previously unsuccessful, and accomplish two objects—first, to hold the enemy at that point; and second, • to proteot onr communications and supplb-s whilo the ^— other Jtatf -of the army bonld malfejLCEfifig- ? et J* 1 kul an ill boding sense of fear that i. and sweeping down '^ry-'yweuld-noLpgova reliable and thatiqnr ing above the fortificitionB, and sweeping with the greatest rapidity to the rear of Fred erieksburg, take a strong position end hold it until they could be reinforced by the portion of the army making the feint, whioh was to withdraw from its position, take the bridges to the point of tho river which bad beeu un covered by the flank movement, and the whole army was thus to bo concentrated in the rear of Fredericksburg. Tbc following outline ot of each day’s operations will show to what extent this bold and hazardous plan has proved successful, and in what degree and for what reason it has resulted so unfortunately. MONDAY AND TUESDAY. On Monday, the 26th, was commenced the oxeoution of this plan. Three corps, the Fifth, Eleventh and Twelfth, were ordered to march with eight days’ rations, to Kelly’s Ford, near the Orange and Alexandria Railroad. Gen. Slocum, of the Twelfth corps, was placed in command, and on Tuesday night the force en trusted with the important part of executing the flank movement bad reached the point at which they wero ordered to cross the Rappa hannock. .Tuesday night, also, three other corps, the first, third, and sixth, were sent to Franklin’s crossing, three miles below Fred ericksburg, ttf be ready to undertake the croBS- 3 simultaneously with the other corps at ly’a Ford on Wednesday morning. WEDNESDAY. The enemy were evidently not prepared to resist the crossing at either point, and the af fair was so well managed that both divisions of the army bad established themselves on the West bank of tbo river and covered these bridges without any serious opposition by the enemy. Geo Sedgwick, who commanded the three corps of the left wing, made no forward demon stration, except enough to attract the enemy and prevent (hem from turningupvn the detachment which was forcing its way toward the rear of the enemy’s works in command of Gen Stone- man. Gen Hooker had personally superintend ed the passsge of the troop< at Kelly’s Ford, and returned while they pushed on toward the Rapidan at Germania Mills, where (bey crossed successfully and made some progrese beyond be fore Wednesday night. TBUB8DAY. Sedgwick stiil threatened the'enemy and held them near Frekericksburg while Slocum pressed on from the Rapidan and took his position across the plank road, the enemy’s line oT re L-eat towards Gotdonsvilie, at Cbancellbrsvilie. Couch’s second eorys, which had remained at Banks’ Ford, now moved up to the United States Ford, snd crossed to-join Gen Slocum. General Hooker also rejoined, and took command ol ionr corps thus concentrated in- the rear of Freder icksburg and across the line ot the enemy's re treat. It was now time for the detachment to take the defensive and hold their position until the other corp^ should join them and the army thus ild be seen caissons, which «e h»d which up to that time had not MB* the field.

Home of these freshly slaughtered, fell into onr binds. the enemy might bring against them . «.Thurs day night there was sharp work on both sides to oat-macccnvrc the other. The enemy Jiad nnw learned with sufficient certainty that a large force was in their rear in the direction of Cban- celiursville, and that Stoneman’s cavalry was greatly endangering their railroad commaniea lion, and they were moving accprdingljr sway from Seda wick toward the rear of Hooker, be tween Chancellorsville and the Rapidan, by the roads at the south of the plank road, which was in our possession.* While leaving Sedgwick’s front the enemy made unusual demonstrations ot camp fires, aa if cmteeDitraiing there, and similar devices were resorted to on our own side, but neither deceiv. d the other, - for both were moving away, and cn our side a portion of the bridges were taken up immediately, and the Third corps moved all night towards tfic United , and. foil .Uck as before, seeming to States Ford to join with Gen Hooker a: Chans ; , , i u . enemy, as a matter of oourae, the su- celiorsvtlle. . periority, whioh they evidently felt them- PRIOAYW • sites; Our own mon fought well.

The mqin body of (he enemy had now moved away from their works at Fred ericksburg, and wero preparing to attack our nrmr on the right in a direction from which, if beaten, they could successfully retreat, and from which it was hardly expected they would meet us. ? * SATURDAY. General Hooker occupied tho day In awaiting tho Attack of the enemy, which w >s evidently expected in front. The movements of the ene my seemed to indicate that they were retreating, and ns the main line of their retreat was occu pied by oar forces, an attack to recover that line, was confidently expreted. What was tho surprise; then, to find Stonewall Jackson, on Saturday afternoon, upon our extreme right and rear, between Chancellorsville and Germania MUls? A most furious and desperate attack was made, and the right of our tinea, which was held by tho Eleventh corps was almost instantly broken, and tho panic stricken men, in utter conlasion, with and without musket, hats, and coats, rusiu-d headlong from undor fire down the only road which led to the bridges, and no power on earth could have stopped or prevented the complete and disgracelul route of the soldiers who have hitherto shown better qualities under thei' former commander. General Howard could have no' control over the cowardly fugi tives, who stopped Wot to look back until thoy reached the Rappahannock. So disgraceful a panic has hot been cycn in this army. The Third o-.rps, under Goneral Sickles, was interposed in tho-brcach thus made, and tho cxcr-ficnt coolness of this ofl.oer, with the bet ter qiialitiea which his corps exhibited, saved the further progreaYof (he panic find the "rout, and ine evil was temporarily stayed. But the poisrto was refused; the other corps had wit ness! the utter confusion and punio of one full 'orp?, and their enthusiasm from that moni.mt dampened and tho confidence they had hitherto tell in their success undef Gener al lliiuker was. last in the reflection that they c.mijj jdace little confidence in ono another.

This rout of the Eleventh (form erly Sigel’s corps was the erisis. This was the turning poiut, from whioh our succeeding min- fortunes can bn most distinctly traced. Satur day olo?ed the operaliou3 of the first week, with doubtful prospects of the final result, and tho previous successes of the right wing seem - od <lestin< d to end in disaster. Sedgwick, with the Sixth Corps, bad at this time withdrawn to the east bank of the river, tak< n up his bridges, and replaood them again directly in front of Froderickoburg, and pre paied: for an assault on tho morrow of the earthworks back of the town. rUiNDAY. The assault of General Sedgwick upon the heights of Fredericksburg was commenced on Sunday morning. A more determined and desperate attack has not been made. N-> men ever attacked tbo fortifications of an enemy with more enthusiasm or vigor. The bank was steep, the firs of shot and shell was ter rific, and the slaughter of General Sumner’s corps, four months ago gave littio promise of snooesB. To almost certain death tho men ohirged np and carried the works, drove the artillsrists from their guns, explored twelve pieoes of the best and heaviest artillery, and many prisoners of war in their trenches.— With tbc heaviest losses, Sedgvrick followed up his success with the boldest energy, and pnr- sued the enemy torward Chancellorsville with the purpose of uniting with General Hooker at that p ace. But this brilliant success came too late, for the enemy held the plank road which the rout of the Eleventh corps had yielded to them on tho previous night, and the enemy was ena bled to throw any sufficient force against him to prevent his junotion with Hooker. This was speedily done, and soon Sedgwiok’s fine corps, the largest and j>erhaps the best of the anny, was cut off from communication either with Hooker or with Fredericksburg, and, thus isolated, was compelled to fall back upon the river at Banke’ Ford, where bridges had been thrown over, by which, if severely pressed, he could make sate bis retreat across the Rappahannock again. Thus followed mis fortune an misfortune, not for lack of skili or bravery, hut for the conductor the miscreants .who had fled from their position on the pre vious night almost upon the first attack of the enemy. But another repulse was sustained on Sun day morning by the army near Chanucllors- vilie: The enetby renewed the attaek and again drove back onr lines for half a mile.— From (be large brick house, which gi ves the iiarr.e to this vicinity, the enemy could be seen sweeping slowly, but confidently, determined ly, and surely, through the clearings which extended in front, Nothftig could excite more admiration for the best qualities of the yele- tan soldier-than the manner in which lie en- united, bo enabled to meet all the forces sAtch «my swe:>t ont, as they moved steadily onward, ihe cr.emv mieht brine SRStnst them- ,rfThurs- 7 j the forces which were opposed to them.

It seem ed certain that here they wqpld bo repulse-l, 1-ut they marched right through the wood, driving onr own soidietn out, who delivered their fire and fell back, halted again, fired them to do was to fire and retreat. The ene my felt confident that they were to be victori ous, and our men had, from- some occasion, imbibed the same impression. Oar men show ed lack of earnestness and enthusiasm, but no want of c urage. All that thoy needed was the inspiration of a series of viotories to look baok upon, and an earnestness and con fidence in the success of the cause for which they were fighting. Thus ended the Sab bath and another chapter in this series of our disasters. MOXbAT. Another day of misfortune, and the day was hardly ushered in before the enemy in force oame down upon tho detachments which had been thought sufficient to bold the. works upon the heights of Fredericksburg. First a brigad-), then a division, then a larger fbree camo in upon them, and after strongly con testing the position thoy were compelled to yield and fall back under the protection of tho town. The enemy formed their lino of Daltle on the outskirts, snd within the town the two brigades of General Gibbon held them in cheok as long as could be. Many wounded men were in the hospitals; and the position was maintained as long a9 possible. At length the ground was given np, the troops were withdrawn, the bridges taken up, and Fredericksburg was given back to the ene- my. They were now at liberty to turn their at tention to Sedgwick, and they lost no time in concentrating their forcos against him. They wero too etrong for him. After a most obstinate fight, in which the enemy almost were successful in destroying his bridges, and the possibility of bis escape, ho made good his r treat also to the east bank of&the Rappahannock. His losses were ap palling. Ho suffered terribly, and in their re treat there was muoh confusion and disorder among tho troops.

Tuesday night ihe army of tho Rappahannock was withdrawn, and our entire force brought again to this side of the river, with the exception of many dead and wounded, who were left behind to the tender mrroies of the en- my. Thus ended the tine days campaign on the Rappahannock. What was, it would seem, the meet difficult part of the task, was accom plis'ted moat successfully. The army was concentrated in the rear of the enemy’s works, and they were forced to come out of them and give battle in the open field. Strange to say, the army failed to beat the enemy on compar atively equal ground and upon oven footing. OCR L0B8ES Daring these nine days, our losses can hard ly fall short of fifteen thousand men. Possi bly they will be more.

How the Yankees Tlok Marye’s Heights, The Fredericksburg correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer writing ot\ tho 13th inet. says: I have from unquestionable sources, that the Yankees were dealt rations of whiskey io order to get them np to Marye’s heights, and that each hindmost man was ordered to strike down, with tho drawn bayonet, the man in his front who faltered: that the rear gu-ird, witb charged bayonets, urged on the whole column, ten lines deep, and (but the men thus charged because the Yankee officers could not rely up on their men to use the bayonet, if once the prc3ure of the bayonet was withdrawn from their rear. This was the second charge. In the first charge even this precaution did no: hinder a precipitate retreat, ;ome of the men falling hack as far aa the other eido cf the river.
