forces slept on their aims ou tbs giouml occupied

ers taken during tbe day ia vuriou»iy estimated
from 600 to 1,000, uud we think will reach
the latter figure. Among tbess are a uunrbtr ot

stated that Hurngr e’s 'orces did not - kcued 100,-

On Sunday night the Fredericksburg cars

Irom the field iu the wildest disorder. It was
fou,.d impossible to restrain them, il any attempt
was made Ail discipline, all subordination, was
gone They pillaged every house in the town,
ransacking Ins whole Irom garret to cellar—
smashing the windows, doors and furniture of

They broke into ibe cellars and drank all the

A dispatch from tiildsb iro’, dated Dec. 16*.h,
states that an artillery duel bad taken place at
Whitehall, s' xtcen miles west of Goldgboro’, on
the Neuse.
Ln the evening Gen. Clingman's brigade crossed
tho river and by a masterly movement caused the
enemy to “skedaddle,” having lost less than thirty
in killed and wounded —only eeven or eight were
killed.
The 52d North Caroliia troops suffered most,
having lost about eighty killed and wounded while
charging one of t*'e enemies batteries across
a field. This regiment behaved gallantly.
A part of Gen. Davis’ Mississippi brigade was
on the field, and behaved well.
The Yankee hospital near the battle field gives
evident signs of ntimbsrs wounded. Mors Jthau
four amputation tables were found.
The Railroad for miles has been torn up and
the bridges destroyed. A fins mill near the battle
field was burned and numberless acts of murder
and incendiarism are reported.
Our entire loss ia killed, wounded and missing
does uot exceed 200.

It was the happiness of lhis aged disciple of Christ, to have
chosen in her youth the “ better part which cannot be taken
away.” With the Holy Scriptures us her dai.y companion,
ahe insensibly became assimilated to that divine mould, which
sue contemplated so adoringly, a fine sense of iusr ce formed
iho bas.s of ner noble character, ana made the golden rule of
our Saviour the chosen ot htr conduot through lire. The
love of truth g ive a crystal clearness and purity to her words,
ihat commanded implicit faith trom all who kne v her W ith
a heart overflowing with benevolence, and the tenderest sym
pathy for every form ot suffering, her silevt minibtenngs car
ried light and consolation to the darkened home of many a
child ol sorrow. “ 1 love those who 1 ve me, ' says the Sa
viour, and her deep and constant communion with h r Divine
Muster, seemed to take away through life (»3 with ",he Psalmist )
u.i fear of “ the valley,of the shadow o: death.” She loved
to gaze upward upon her ascended Lord-*to ctami expect
antly watching lor the unfolding of the heavenly gates that
encltse the city of the blest.” After a life spent in devotion
to her Saviour, no need was there for further testimony of her
love; but meet it was that softly and gentiy she should fall
into the arms ot death.
