Battle of
Fredericksburg. The cannonading began at sunrise, and was kept up till twelve
o'clock, when the infantry advanced, and there was a continual fire of musketry
for eight hours. Our men charged the rebel batteries a number of times, but
were repulsed every time. The rebel position was a strong one, and their
artillery heavy.
