We take the following from the Lynch
burg Republican of the 4th instant:
From an intelligent observer, who has
recently visited Fredericksburg, the Ex-
aminer has some interesting accounts of
the situation of the enemy, and of affairs
in connection with the military crisis in
that quarter.
The heights on the opposite bank of
the river are crowned with the enemy's
batteries, and the black muzzles of their
cannon are said to look down in every
street IN fredericksburg Artillery is al
al sonfo twenty-five miles down 9he 9he FfSgr R1gr
the enemy have a heavy land battery,
and on Sunday last four gunboats were
reported to be in that vicinity.
1t is estimated that not more than
three or four hundred persons of the res
ident population, have Withdrawn to any
distance from Fredericksburg. But many
more are crowded in the country inme-
diately around the city, camping out in
the fields, and living on such scanty and
precarious subsistence as is at hand
The spectacles which meet the eye, as the
city is approached, of this houseless pop
ulation, are said to be very touching
Not more than about thirty families re-
main within the limits of the city, who
from poverty and other causes, are des-
perately resolved to abide the chances of
war.

The New Commander

Il
Courier writing from, TSiohn,o-.tI,. .l...- the
following about Burnside:
Mai Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside, it is
said, is announced as Commander-In-
Chief of the Army of the Potomac. A
friend, who was merchant in Washing
ton city, at the first battle of Manassas,
and who left the week following, was
amusing me the other night with-vsundry
incidents connected with WasLin gton
city and that battle, both prior and sub
sequent to it. Among others he men
toned that this General Burnside, a
short time previous to the battle, passed
through the city in command, of tie or a
Rhode Island brigade. On having seme
encomiums bestowed on it, he publicly
remarked, he commanded a brigade
which could march with ease from Wash
ing to the Gulf" When he left Wash
ington ''he wore wreath" of flowers
around one of his arms, and carried an
immense boquet in his hand. Such was
Gen. Burnside on starting on his first
military expedition. On the day after the
battle he remarked, looking so haggard
that my friend, who saw him, said he
looked as if he had been on ''bust" for
three weeks. Of his entire brigade but
little over 100 could be rallied. When
or where the demoralized mass ever GOT
together | never learned.
Generals are both made and unmade
at the North, without inconvenience or
trouble. A chapter of accidents has
given Gen. Burnside momentary rep.
utation, for it is generally conceded at the
South, believe, had Gen. Wise had one
| thousand more men at Ronanoke Island
the former would long since have passed
into merited oblivion. And the idea OF
putting Burnside in the place of McClel
| Ian seems so absurd, that were it not sc
serious a matter to the thousands likely
to be sacrificed to such Moloch, it woulc
sound as if Mr.. Lincoln were at his ole
tricks-playing off jokes with his whole
army.

A Northern Opinion of Southern
Society.

Among the most striking episodes III
the proceedings of the Unitarian Autumn
nal Convention, which opened its session
in New York last week, is the peculiar
feeling excited by the remarks OF Rev.
DR.. Bellows, in eulogy of Souther social
life, and the influences proceeding from
it. The opinion so frankly expressed by
the Reverned gentleman has excited the
most bitter comment among the members
of the Convention. He said:
No candid man will deny the peculiar
charm of Southern young men at COZ
lege, or Southern young women in secie-
ty. How far race and climate, indepen-
dent of servile institutions, may have pro;
duced the Southern chivalric spirit ara2
manner. 1 viii not bere @considea.-sBah
one may as well deny the small feet and
hands of that people, as deny certain in
bred habit of command; a contempt OF
life in defence of honor or class; talent
for political life. and an easy control OF
interiors. Nor is this merely an external
and fiashy heroism. 1t is real. 1t show
ed itself in Congress. and always by the
courage, eloquence, skill, and success
with which it controlled maiorities. 1t
showed itself in the social life of Wash
ington, by the grace, fascination. and ease,
the free and charming hospitality by
which 1T governed society. 1t now shows
itself in England and France, by the sue
cess with which it manages the courts
and the circles of literature and fashion
in both countries. 1t shows itself in this
war. in the orders and proclamations of
its Generals. in the messages of the rebel
Congress, and in the essential good breed
ing and humanity CONTRARY to a diligent-
ly encouraged public impression) with
which it not seldom divides its medical
stores, and gives our sick and wounded as
favorable care as it is able to extend to its
own. 1t exceeds us at this moment in
the possession of an ambulance corps.
L think the war must have increased
the respect felt by the North for the
South. Its miraculous resources, the
bravery OF its troops, their patience un-
der hardships, their unshrinking firm
ness In the desperate position they have
assumed, the wonderful success with
which they extemporized manufactures
and munitions of war, and kept them
selves In relation with the world in spite
of our magnificent blockade, the elastici-
ty with which they have risen from de-
feat, and the courage they have shown in
threatening again our Capital, and even
our interior, cannot fail to extort an un-
willing admiration and respect. Well is
Gen. Mcclellan reported to have said
(privately,) as he watched their obstinate
hghting at Antietam. and saw them re-
firing in perfect order in the midst of the
trightful carnage: What terrible neigh
bors these would be! We must conauer
them, or they will conquer usi"

Trouble IN Western North Carolina

Accounts have reached us of a difficult
ty. which threatens to be serious in the
Western portion of North Carolina.-
About o'clock on the morning of the
9th ult., some 25 armed men visited
Waynesville, Haywood county, and de-
manded the release of a man named
Franklin, who was convicted of murder
at a recent term of the Court, and was
under sentence of death. The jailor,
having no force to resist the demand,
was seized and held, while Franklin was
released and carried off in triumph. The
party represented themselves as from
East Tennessee, and said they had re-
serve of three hundred armed men to
back up their demand. They threaten
ed, if resisted, to burn the town.
Subsequently courier arrived at the
town of Ashville, in quest of powder,
who stated that an army of several hun
dred men from East Tennessee was regu-
larly fortified on the line between Hay
wood county and Tennessee, Some re-
ports put the number at l, 100, but it is
| not believed to be so large. The militia
| of HAYWOOD. to the number of 25C with
go Cherokee Indians, were holding them
| in check. Runners had been sent to
Gen. Kirby Smith, informing him of the
condition of affairs, and asking assist.
ance. The locality is about forty five
miles west of Ashville, and bordering
upon the most disloyal portion of Eas
Tennessee Richmond Dispatch.
