Affairs at Fredericksburg.
Especial to the Herald

NEW YORK, Nov "a.
The rebels in occupation of Freder-
icksburgh have demanded further time
to consider the question of its surrender.
On Friday night after the interview with
the civil authorities, General Sumner in
formed them that if they had any further
communication to present, General Pat
rick would meet them again the next
morning. On Saturday, accordingly, the
Mayor and Council came over, accom-
panied By Gen. Kershaw, Col. Blood, and
Capt King, Of Georgia
The officers claimed that the civil
authorities could make no propositions,
except the same was agreed to by them.
General Patrick declined to receive
those officers. Subsequently, however,
General Burnside consented to their re-
ception, and the party returned.
The authorities asked for an extern
sion of the time allowed for the removal
of the woman and children, alleging that
the trains had been frightened off by our
artillery and that it would be impossible
for train to leave before night, the city
being absolutely destitute of other trans
portation.
Their request was complied with and
the time extended to ii O'Clock yester-
day morning. Our dispatches from Ac-
quia Creek, do not mention any attack
on Fredericksburg.
it was rumOred at Fairfax Station
that jackson was on his way down from
the mountains with force of 10000
men with the purpose of makiag dash
on our Notifications at Arlington
Heights
At Harper's Ferry the enemy is keep
ing strict blockade of our front but
there was no collision between the two
forces yesterday.
The river at that point is not rising as
was expected.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The War De-
partment has commenced the publication
of names of dismissed officers for alb
sence without leave, intoxication, disre-
spectful language towards the President
and commanding officers, and coward
ice The list contains the Captains and
First Lieutenants.
Private dispatches have been received
here announcing the death of General
Frank Patterson, of camp fever, near
Fairfax Court House.
The Washington Star contains the fol-
lowing:
"An impression prevailed extensively
in front yesterday and to-day, that Gems
Early and MackalTs divisions of Jack
sons corps were advancing upon Wash
ington, and had arrived in the vicieity of
-Leesburg.
1--WE know that if Stonewall Jackson
comes this way with less than 100000
men Heintzelman won't let him get back
again.
We do not believe the rebels in our
immediate front are in any considerable
force"

President Lincoln Argue. the Point.

RresIOeht LIhcOan Argues the EOAht
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-A gentleman
who left Burnsides army to-day, reports
the situation unchanged
The rebels were said to have nineteen
guns of large caliber in position at and
near Fredericksburg.
On Friday President Lincoln, in the
course of an interview with uncOnditiOn-
al Union Kentuckians, discussed at
length the question of Emancipation.
He said he would rather die than take
back word of the Proclamation of Free
dom, and he dwelt on the advantages to
the border States of this scheme for the
gradual adjustment of Slavery in them,
and urged them to bring the question
fairly before the people. They assured
him it should be done
Mr. Lincoln also expressed his deter
mination to enforce vigorous measures
to rid the State of rebel sympathizers,
and for that purpose new Provost Mar
shall General, who has his heart in the
work, will be appointed.
Secretary Chase's report will undOubt-
eddy contain an urgent recommendation,
supported by elaborate arguments to
Congress, to take measures to substitute
Government for Bank currency, by tax
ing the latter and making provisions for
the circulation through the banks of the
former.
The Court of Inquiry in the case OF
Gen. Buell., will probably adjourn shortly
after meeting at Cincinnati, to Nashville
for the convenience of witnesses, many
of whom are in Rosecrans' army
A strong wind has been blowing al
day, and is rapidly drying the mud.

Especial to the Herald

At Falmouth great alarm was felt es-
pecially by the females, many of>whom
have left the place and have gone back
into the country for safety.
Frederickburgh appears utterly desert
ed. Last night not light was visible in
the whole city.
Camp fires indicated the presence of a
considerable force in front
Since Friday the rebels have evidently
received large accessions to their forces
in our front, and there is no doubt that
Lee and Longstreet are in our immediate
vicinity.
After the rebels have been driven from
their present position, it is thought they
will give battle again eight miles beyond
the CITY, There is no doubt that the re-
bells have availed themselves of the time
allowed for the removal of the non-com-
battants to carry off everything that
could possibly be of use to them or to us.
On Friday night loud explosions were
heard beyond Fredericksburg. The
cause has not been ascertained.
The river has risen but little since the
recent storm.
Inhabitants living along the route Of
the Military Telegraph line have already
commenced cutting the wires to annoy
and delay US in our operations. The
severest punishment will be promptly
administered to every person taken in
the act

the Body Guard TO Gen. Mcclellan, will

From Cairo.
Especial Dispatch to the Republican ]
CAIRO, November 2

Especial Dispatch to the Republican
CAIRO, November %.
The steamer Empress has arrived this
evening, bringing Memphis papers of the
21st, and Granada, Miss, news of the
18th. The rebel news is as follows:
Secretary of War, G. W. Randolph,
has resigned Cause-difference of
opinion with JEFF Davis as to the appoint
ing subordinates Davis has appointed
G. w. Smith, late commander of Depart
ment of Richmond, his successor. John
G. Campbell is Assistant.
Some rebel papers are advocating the
promotion of Gen. Price.
No more intercourse is to be allowed
between Federal and rebel pickets, or
across the rebel lines
A dispatch in the Appeal from Knox
vile, November 18th says Price is seven
miles below Holly Springs, at Davies
bridge over the Tallahatchie 1t init
mates that Grant will not Immediately
offer battle, from prudential reasons.
A serious slave riot had occurred at
Norfolk. Five thousand contrabands
collected on the wharves, a steamer had
to run along side and take them off,
They resisted.
The Appeal is sadly alarmed at the
threatening aspect of affairs in Missis-
sippi, and makes an infammatory appeal
to the weakened chivalry of the State
to rally and resist.
The Legislature of Arkansas has COM
menced at Little Rock Gov Rector
has resigned, and Judge Fletcher, Presi-
dent of the Senate, acts as Governor I'M
til the Inauguration of Flanagan.
There is nothing new from Memphis
in regard to the position of affairs at
Holly Springs.
1t is rumor9d that Gen. Sherman will
shortly make forward movement, and
that Gen. J. G. Lauman, formerly OF the
| 9TH Iowa, will be commander of the post
The news from Helena is important

From New York

New York, Nov 23-The Herald has
a Fernandina letter of the 18th inst, Civ
ing an account of the bombardment of
St Marys, Ga, by the gunboat Mohawk.
Our troops landed and were fired on
by the rebels, and wounded one.
The rebels mustered strongly, where
upon the Mohawk fired shells for twenty
minutes into the town.
She stopped as female, bearing flag
of truce, approached the ship
A lieutenant went ashore to meet her
On his return the ship hauled off, in
tending to return to Fernandina, when
the rebels fired volley of musketry at
the ship, which then returned abreast
the town, and kept up the fire for an
hour and half, reducing half the place
to ashes.
Almost every house was injured
Previous to firing the second time the
Captain invited all the women aboard
his ship, but they declined. No guns
were aimed at house in which the wo-
men had enscOnced themselves.

Rebel Operations ON the Mississippi.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24-The Democrat
has information that the rebels are now
busy fortifying Port Hudson Louisiana,
$50 miles above New Orleans. The same
engineer who laid out the works at
Vicksburg has just completed plan of
fertilization at Port Hudson. Ten or
twelve guns are now in position, and two
weeks from now Port Hudson will be as
strong as Vicksburg and prove serious
bar to the ascent of Farragut's feet.
The rebels are now running steam
boats from Port Hudson to Lake Provi-
dence, distance of more than 800 miles.
They are also running boats on Red Riv-
er, bringing immense supplies of corn
and cattle from Texas, and large guam
titles of salt from the new salt works on
Red River about fifty miles above its
mouth
tits said these works produce 10000
bushels weekly, and it is sent East via
Vicksburg.
One object of fortifying Port Hudson
is to prevent the federal forces from
reaching these salt wsrks
General Schofeld and Staff arrived
here last rSght. The Generals health
though not completely restored is rapidly
improving.

Cause of Gen. Patterson's Death.

New YORK, Nov 24-Gen. Patterson's
death was caused by the accidental dis
charge of pistol which he kept under
his pillow, while in the act of changing
it from one hand to the other on awak-
ening.
Gen. Pope, it is said, is ordered to St.
Louis to relieve Gen. Curtis
The rebel force at Fredericksburg is
understood to be $4,000. Several loco
motives are kept fired up constantly.
Gen. Longstreet assumed command
last Wednesday.
