The morning of the 13th, his arrangements for attack being completed, about 9 o'clock--the movement veiled by a fog — he advanced boldly in large force against our right wing. Gen. Jackson's corps occupied the right on our line, which rested on the railroad; Gen. Longstreet's the left, extending along the heights to the Rappahannock above Fredericksburg. Gen. Stuart, with two brigades of cavalry, was posted in the extensive pla artillery, which opened with effect upon his flank, and drew upon the gallant Pelham a heavy fire, which he sustained unflinchingly for about two hours. In the meantime the enemy was fiercely encountered by Gen. A. P. Hill's division, forming Gen. Jackson's right, and, after an coordinate combat, repulsed.

These repeated attacks were repulsed in gallant style by the Washington Artillery, under Colonel Walton, and a portion of McLaws's division, which occupied these heights. The last assault was made after dark, when Col. Alexander's battalion had relieved the Washington Artillery, (whose ammunition had been exhausted,) and ended the contest for the day. The enemy was supported in his attacks by the fire of strong batteries of artillery on the right bank of the river, as well as by his numerous heavy batteries on the Stafford heights.

The Honorable Secretary of War, Richmond, Va. Sir — On the night of the 10th inst, the enemy commenced to throw three bridges over the Rappahannock--two at Fredericksburg and the third about a mile and a quarter below, near the month of Deep Run. The plain on which Fredericksburg stands is so completely commanded by tfiring between skirmishers, he has not attempted to renew the attack. About five hundred and fifty prisoners were taken during the engagement, but the full extent of his loss is unknown. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, [Official] R. E.

Our loss during the operations, since the movements of the enemy began, amounts to about 1,800 killed and wounded. Among the former I regret to report the death of the patriotic soldier and states man, Brig' Gen. Thomas R. R. Cobb, who fell upon our left; and among the latter, that brave soldier and accomplished gentleman, Brig-General Maxcy Gregg, who was very seriously, and, it is feared, mortally wounded, during the attack on our right. The enemy to-day has been apparently engaged in earing for his wounded and burying his dead. His troops are visible in their first position in line of battle, but, with the exception of some desultory cannonading and firing between skirmishers, he has not attempted to renew the attack. About five hundred and fifty prisoners were taken during the engagement, but the full extent of his loss is unknown. I have the honor to be, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, [Official] R. E. Lee, General. Charles Marshall, Maj. and A. D. C.

The troops which had so gallantly held their position in the city, under the severe cannonade during the day, resisting the advance of the enemy at every step, were withdrawn during the night, as were also those who, with equal tenacity, had maintained their post as the lowest bridge. Under cover of darkness and of a dense fog, on the 12th, a large force passed the river and took position on the right bank, protected by their heavy guns on the left.

annock, its winding course, and deep bed, afforded opportunity for the construction of bridges at points beyond the reach of our artillery, and the banks had to be watched by skirmishers. The latter, sheltering themselves behind the houses, drove back the working parties of the enemy at the bridges opposite the city; but at the lowest point of crossing, where no shelter could be had, our sharpshooters were themselves driven off, and the completion of the bridge was effected about noon on the 11th. In the afternoon of that day the enemy's batteries opened upon the city, and by dark had so demolished the houses on the river bank as to deprive our skirmishers of shelter — and, under cover of his guns he effected a lodgment in the town.
