The Union Pacific Railroad Commission
ers closed their second days proceedings
yesterday, after 1ransacting 8 considerable
amount Of important business. The Busi-
ness Committee reported series Of reso-
1uticns Of q stirring and patriotic charac-
ter setting forth the nature OF the enter
rrlse, Its advantages aud prospects appeal
iEg to the people to cement still stronger
thc bon6s Of Union by indissolu5ly join
ing the Atlantic and Pacific country
and making their destinies one
! md inseparable- The general
resolutions were supported By hearty
speeches from distinguished gentlemen es-
1ecially prominent among which is Gov.
Evans glowing account Of the mineral
resources Of Colorado. The last resolution
of purely business nature-gave rise
10 very animated aud general discussion,
which is still pending. The gist Of the de.
bate is, whether the books Of subscription
shall be opened freely in the prominent
cities Of the loyal states, or whether the
primary two millions Of stock shall be
vested in the capitalists Of New York and
Boston. Undoubtedly the former propo
Eiuon will prevail. The Convention vii
probably adjourn to-day.

Burnside EEacuatcs Fredericksburg

lNNIlEepD0uSICE VI t4E IN. l. dETAlQ.j
WAen1SGTos Sunday. August 81, 1862
Fredericksburg was evacuated this after
noon by General Burnside, and considerable
quan1i,y , Of government property and num-
ter OF bridges were destroyed during the final
evacuation OF the place. Fur several DAYS ra-
1n~rs OF successes and defeats both Of Pope
and Jackson we're prevalent in Fredericks-
burg, but no reliable information could BE- OBJ
taincd. The rebels in that vicinity continued
in q jubilaut frame Of mind oTer reported de-
feats Of our forces in the battles which were
known, from the fact Of heavy canonadiug be-
ing heard tor two days previous, to be in pro-
gress, and their expectation that Gen. Burn
sides army was about to eracuate the place,
aud fall back to Aqua Greek. In this crisis
the real feelings and Sentiments OF many Of
the citizens. especially the women, we're
plainly exhibited. Tney thought that our day
was over, at least for the present, and that
they cuuld with impunity show their hatred
towards us and the Union cause. During all
this time General Burnside was catm aud
cheerful, and, so FIR ftom failing back, ex-
pressed his determination to hold tue city,
AID if attacked by the rebel forces and Obliged
to retire from the place, to destroy 1t, as
could easily be done, By the artillery which
commanded it from a bluff, within less than
halt mile, and which, within an hour, could
reduce it to mass of ruins
Thus matters went on during Friday until
about ) p. H., when our pickets fell back
and announced that a rebel. torce was ap-
preaching the city. Upon this quite panic
arose, and the Union citizens, with the ne
grots, retired across tt :, river, and prepara.
lion we're made to repel any stack which
might be made The provost guard emaiued
in The Place, and the pickets were ordered ont
again ufon the various roads. THIS was the
condition Of affairs ut night. There was no
further alarm made, ane everything was quiet,
1t was q ce1tsined that the rebel force which
WAS seen was merely q reconnoitering nary
sent out probably to ascertain the truth Of t1e
