Tbt Second Itt’psri of Burnsidr. I Headqu’bs Army of the Potomac, I | December 1G, -18C2—(j o’clock, P. M. j i Major General IIali.eck, The army was withdrawn to this side i of the river because I felt the position in | front could not be carried, and it was a j military necessity either to attack or re- ’ tire. A repulse would have been disastrous to us. The army was withdrawn at night, without the loss either of property or men. A. E. Burnside, Jfajor General Commanding. Gen. Bnrnside, with military frankness and brevity, explains the reason of the retreat of the Army of the Potomac to the north side of the Rappahannock. ‘ - He felt" that the position of the rebels could not he carried, and it was a military necesity to attack or retire. A repulse would have j in simple division on a schoolboy’s slate been disastrous to us.’ The return to this j a historian is needed—one that is faithful ISiograp!:)- of Sloncnnil Jarkwin. The New York Sun Jay Mercury pub lishes a humorous biography of Stone wall Jacksou. "VVo make the followin extracts. Your correspondent lias seen many biographical sketches of the celebrated “Stonewall but they all abound inconsistencies, untruths, and inaccuracies ■In the hands of some historians, his life like the short india rubber blanket of long soldier, is stretched to suit the subject To others this eventful history has been as a lump of clay in the hands of a child— capable of any degree of plastic distorion or buauty from a Hindoo idol to a winged statuette of Apollyon the Lovely, Somp there be who declare him a myth, a will o’-the-uisp, a da ncing jack of the wilder ness, the creation of the mind—or any amount of minds—disordered ; hut the}' err. Mr. Editor, Stonewall Jackson is a lived fact, a melancholy fact, a stubborn fact ; and that his life may not go down into darkness, that his deeds of daring may not be wiped out forever like a sum i side of the river, lie says, was accomplish- 1 ed without the loss of either men or pro- ; perty. A press dispatch from headquar- j t-crs gives a full account of the rctrogade | movement of the army. Even the strag glers and outlying pickets were brought off in small boats. The army has been considerably reinforced since the battle, and is now comfortable and safe on the same camping ground it occupied before tho advance. The dead have been buried under Rags of truce; and the wpo" J —' are being sent to Wj> 1771 *‘ IS as PqssjIiuEa. large portion of the latter, how ever, fell into the hands of tho enemy. The total loss in killed and wounded, it is estimated, will be from 10,000 to 12,000. In the attack of Gen. Franklin on the left we had 443 killed, 3,343 wounded, and 1,900 missing. The only redeeming fea ture in the sad and fiuitlcss loss of life and limb is the bravery and coolness of the j ] capable and unbiased ; like those, for ; instance, who do the-bingrapbicial sketch- j ester tlip New York morning dailies—one ’ that is wholly competent, and that careth not a pin for Northern praise nor Southern ; commendation; in brief, one like those who write tho biographical histories for the papers aforesaid. Such an one is Anno Domini, and lie herewith presents a history which he is willing to take his afiidayj'. us reliable and worthy tfiough it was writeii for- oite of those immaculate sheets—the New York dai lies. 1 'Stonewall Jackson was horn very early in life—in fact, so young was be at that interesting period of his history, that the date thereof lurkcth not in Lis ownmemo- ry, not yet in that of his present biogra pher. Sufficient he it to say, he was non.v. The ’ancestry of S. J. has hither to been shrowded in doubt.

Both the New York Heald and the World asserts that the advance movement upon Fredericksburg was not undertaken in accordance with General Burnside’s own judgment, hut was peremptorily or dered by the military authorities in Wash ington. The World makes the following remarkable statement. We have no words of unkindness for General Burnside. He is a very different style of man from the braggard Pope, and deserves commiseration rather than cen sure in his heavy misfortune.

In this emergency a council of war was held; all the corps commanders opposed an advance; but Burnside saief in conclusion, that he was compell to ad vance hy ciders from Washington.

We take the following from the Balti more Republican: To the Editors Republican: The accompanying brief address was designed to appear in the morning papers, and with that view was sent to the only two reputed independent morning journals, which, as I am informed, have circulation among Marylanders, the Sun and Gazette. The publication was however declined hy these journals, not as they informed me, because of their dissent from the truth of what I say, but because such truths are not allowed to be published in Baltimore by the despotic censorship to which they arc compelled to submit.

They are all wrong. Mr. Editor; Stonewall •Jackson is descended in a curved line from the Wandering Jew. In early time the Jew family was rich, but one evil day the head of it went down into Egypt, “bucked” against Pharoah, and come back with nary shekel, having lost them all in that, interesting game. From that time till the discovery ofthe Mississippi river, the family was too poor to have a name.— Stonewall’s grandfather ran a flatboat on the aforesaid river, and was ext’-svp- fond ofthe classic game of“o;’ ,-R J • Heman ’-d an ’ ,. a e of ,e nau 'S, w ..red—to .onimemo- .te bin r . --e game—High, Low, Jack, 0,1,1 tllrt (Tflmo .Uh-L- follow oil tho oxam- ple of his father, married, and had one son, the subject of this sketch, who was natur ally called Jack’s son, and in course of time Jafckson.

Y oung Jackson in his youth gave great promise of future usefullness, so much so that when he was sent to school he invari ably ran away to play “tag” and leap frog,” to the constant study of which he ouco \«i.

Mrs. Jackson (the mother) then seized a shirt hoard with both hands, and proceeded to bring the youngster to a sense of his duty by divers ponderous blows. Y‘oung Jackson squirmed like a fish-worm ; but witli that Spartan firmness that has ever distinguish ed him, shed not a tear. At about the fortieth blow the old lady paused while the old gent eased on his hold, and inqui red, ‘My son, wilst thou go to school in future !’ The young hero raised his head, wiped his sleeve across his nose, and look ing up into his father’s face, said : “I say, old gentleman, why am I like a cabin passenger on a canal boat 1” “My son I know not,” sagely observed Jackson senior. “Why,” said the young incor rigible, with a knowin had Guns Planted so as to rake every street with grape and Canister our Division was the first to engage the enemy the il/orn- ing after the first Days fight our Regi ment had 105 Men left in the ranks Cap To my Fellow Citizens ofthe State of r.g.u.e, wi.ua auuwmgwink, “it’s because J ‘ lam boa'aed astern.

Not liking the state of tho cur rency there, be determined to abolish Banks; in doing which several desperate battles were tought, in all of which, though outnumbered, our troops “gained mater ial advantage,” (see B—k’s dispatches,) but our cavalry horses becoming thirsty, tho army fell back to the Potomac to wa ter them. Jackson’s horses, also being dry, he pushed on for the same watering place, but learning that Fremont had cut loose, fell back. Freemant following, a desper ate engagement took place at Front Roy al, in which Stonewall would have been annihilated, had not the U. S. Govern ment stopped the battle (N. Y’. Tnb.) to hold a court of inquiry to sec if Fremont had not paid three postage stamps too much for a bushel of oats, furnished through a California friend, to a horse of his body guard. While the court was in session Stonewall skedaddled. Fremont followed, however, anil would have bag ged him if he had not taken the wrong road, (N. Y. Herald) and travelled Forth while Jackson was going South. Getting safe back to Richmond, Stonewall bore a leading part in the battles in front ot that “doomed” (sec all the papers) city. According to the Noitbern prints, Jack- son suffered terribly in ptrson in these battles. He lost his right leg at Hanover Court-House, and his left at Gainesville. The next day, while leading his corps into battle at Savage's, his horse baulked in front of a barrel of beans, which had been abandonod by our army, and lie was com pelled to dismount and go it on foot, in doing which he lost his right arm. The succeeding day he lost his left arm at Peach Orchard. Two days after, at the battle of Mal vern Hill, he stooped down to fasten his shoe, and while in that position his head was blown off by a 103,000 pound shell. This was the unkindest cut of all; but the old veteran merely raised his martial form erect and said: “My bleeding country, I cheerfully make the sacrifice. Old head farewell!” These are but a few of the wounds the old man has received—accor ding to the papers. Even as I write, the report comes that this modern Briareous lost another arm at Antietam. Stonewall Jackson, in personal appear ance, is most unlovely—and it is said that he—like the Ashantees—files his teeth to a sharp point every other morning. He stands eleven feet five inches (or five feet eleven inches, I am not certain which) in his boots—when he has got any. His hair is black, and was furnished to order by Bachelor of New Y'ork. In re gion he is at times a devout Catholic—at least he followed closely in the footsteps f the Pope during one of his campaigns— and at others he is a colporteur for the American Tract Society—at any rate he has probably left more tracks in Virginia than any other white man; and, accord ing to the papers, always goes into battle with a family Bible under one arm and a Greek Testament in the coat tail pocket, which lie feajjs during the intervals of the fighting. He is abstemious in his habits, ha-’” been known to live nine days off of or s sardine and a barrel of ’ • ; u <U .- he is extr.-'mpl-r- h j . d n vi ng it. to sum up, Stonewall, in private life is —as Shakspearc says—“a man as is a man that we ma' never look upon his like again.” In his military capacity he is, to quote etiertuan rcnowicn, -f« r lamb, in war—a latn'er. [From tlie Richmond Whig-j A Gallant lrixbninn at Frcderick»burg. The following extract from a private letter will show that Meagher met his match at Fredericksburg in a gallant son ofthe Emerald Isle. Col. Robert McMill an, of the 24th Georgia. We should like to see McMillan at the head of the lament ed Cobh’s brigade pitted against Meagher or Corcoran in an open field: “But the rejoicing ceased for a time, and mourning sat on every countenance, as four grief stricken litter-bearers passed down the lines, hearing the heroic Cobb, who had fallen in the first charge of the enemy. Lieut. Col. Cook, commanding Phillips’ Georgia Legion, was killed at this period of tlie action. A fixed resolu tion seemed at once to possess every heart, toevenge the death-wound given to their General, and it devolved upon Col. Robt. McMillan, of the 24th Georgia regiment, to lead them in the effort. An opportunity now offered. A column, stronger and heavier than the first, was seen to advance. Flash after flash was seen upon the oppo site river bank. Shell after shell fell around us, which were responded to from the heights in onr rear. Col. McMillan direc ted the small arms to cease until the enemy should come within musket range. The artillery continued its thunder, the mus ketry remaining silent, till tho enemy came within lire of our shortest range guns. Soon leaden hail commenced pour ing from the clouds of smoke before ns. The Colonel passed along the lines sur veying the movements of the enemy, when suddenly, at his command, the brig ade rose and sent a volley into the rauks ofthe foe, which carried ruin in its way. Again and again was the assault renewed, and again and again was it repulsed, with tremendous slaughter. For the troops, tho position chosen was an admirable one, but on the part of the officers who did his duty, there was required the utmost cool ness and courage. This Colonel McMill an certainly manifested; While he was passing along the line, waving his sword, and encourageing his men, they seemed to catch the spirit of their leader, and re double their efforts, while his own regi ment turned, in the thickest of the fight, and gave him three hearty cheers. He pos sesses the confidcuce of his troops. They love him, and, if need be. will follow him to the death. In the battle of Fiedericks- hich hen again summon him to tho field.” »■ *«»-'»• "'VoEtcrMofowSU I tm. 4.1.. ie«. “*'■ Not.
